Wow! How
cool is
this necklace made from tagua, aka 'vegetable ivory'?!?!
This eco-material necklace is designed by Monica Farbiarz in

Best Children's Book- Claude and Medea: The Hellburn Dogs
With
winter in full gear, and the holidays behind us, I am finding more
time to do things I enjoy like snuggling up in bed and reading good

Super Model Moms
Whew, I am so glad I don't send my kids to school with these
moms. The pressure to look good would be too much if I had to

Paper Culture - Recycled Cards
In this day and age of Evites, Pinggs, and Paperless Posts, there is

company,
