misosouper, a shopping blog

I’ve got babies on the brain:  mine and everyone else’s.  But as my daughter would say, what about the big kids?  These stick-on, peel-off animal chalkboard decals would make a new big sister or brother very happy, and perhaps more importantly, keep them very occupied.

Tiny, pale hands get me every time.

As of today, I am 36+ weeks pregnant.

And this, part of artist Matthew Carden’s Small World Series, perched on the edge of a most beautiful burgundy abyss, is what I’d most like to do.

While I don’t usually feature techy-type services on this site, The One About is different.  For starters, I powwowed with Justin, its creator, in the program’s alpha stages, and some of my suggestions made it into the final version.  Also, it’s just so useful, and incredibly simple to use.

The One About offers a brilliantly easy interface for creating those sappy, eye-rolling, crowd-pleasing videos that play at weddings, birthday milestones, and retirement parties.  Got a gut-busting tale involving tequila and a donkey? (God, let’s hope not.)  This would be the moment to record your memories for posterity.  All you need to do is set up your tribute, then e-mail the link to family and friends so they can get started.  They’ll be in charge of uploading their own videos, so you don’t have to run all over the globe with your Flipcam to record their tales.

The best part?  It’s free to create and watch your tribute online.  (Custom DVDs are an additional charge.)  Cheap, embarrassing, and easy, just like the stories my friends and family would tell about me.

I recently visited the KangaRoom outlet store located in San Francisco. KangaRoom was founded in 2006 with the vision or providing functional, fashion forward, unique storage solutions for every aspect of your life. The store is stocked with bright, colorful and modern organization and storage products. These KangaRoom recycle bags are my favorites and reasonably priced at a set of two for $12.99. I’ve been looking for some fun, colorful and portable recycling containers for outdoor parties and picnics. My husband will also find these useful for cleaning up leaves in our back yard and on the sidewalk in front of our Victorian. Those of you who live in a city know how leaves, trash and other debris can quickly clutter your sidewalk and stoop. These totes are washable and made of recycled materials. I love the combined shades of green and handles that make transport a snap! I’m sold on KangaRoom and will be sharing more of their products with you in the future.
