this just might be the coolest toy ever.

How sweet is Twig Creative's Anagram wooden toy camera? Landon and I have joked that when we have kids, we're only going to give them wooden toys and running shoes. This little sucker fits right into the plan.

P.S. You can buy an Anagram here.

my favorite video.

The Marshmallow Experiment - Instant Gratification from FloodSanDiego on Vimeo.

This video is from a little experiment done by the church I went to during college, and I happen to think it's pretty funny. Which marshmallow resist-er is your favorite?

sunday lovin: party time!

My mom, sister and I are doing some serious planning for CookingThyme this weekend, and we're looking at different party ideas to offer for kids as part of the business. We stumbled upon Sara's Party Perfect, which has great ideas for kids parties, and I couldn't resist sharing my favorite. An old school hip hop party for a two year old! So great.
