wall-greens

The Babylonians were on to something with those hanging gardens… I find almost nothing more lovely than plants spilling over the sides of a planter and greenery cascading down a wall. This affordable option for starting a vertical garden is made from recycled plastic bottles, which makes it even more appealing. Now I just need to find a spot to hang it.

In the early morning hours, one of my son’s favorite things to do is stand on the couch, looking out the window. He loves watching the cars driving by, he goes bananas for garbage trucks, but his favorite thing these days is spying a bird or an airplane in the sky. He’ll point up into the air and jump up and down, ooohing and ahhing, and turn to me with a look of complete wonder in his little face. I agree, kiddo. Flying is pretty amazing.

cup o’ cheer

Polka dot travel mugs = happiness. Can’t wait to slide this across the counter at my morning coffee stop. No more paper cups!

tug-a-lug

One of the best presents that my son received on his big 1st birthday is this tugboat from Green Toys. It’s made from recycled plastic, and it doubles as a spout to pour water and help rinse in the bath. Super cute, eco-friendly and totally useful. He loves it, I love it, win-win!

kid-friendly friday

I’m changing things up a bit here at misosouper. As of today, I’m officially retiring the “Frugal Friday” category and replacing it with a dedicated day of posts just for kids. Because frankly (sadly?), most of the shopping I’m doing online these days is for my son anyway. Might as well share the goods!
