A good friend of ours has a two-year-old boy who is obsessed with lawn blowers. He watches videos of them on YouTube, creates mini-blowers with toilet paper tubes, and goes bananas when he sees one in the wild. Today I stumbled upon a toy version that blows bubbles. Someone’s about to get the best present ever.
A friend of mine said the other day, “You know, I never fully understood those ‘Calgon, take me away’ ads until I had children.” And it’s true. Only a mother can appreciate how incredibly decadent twenty minutes of peace and quiet is.
Leave it to Marimekko to put a new spin on the classic striped outdoor umbrella. These kicky swirls are just begging to brighten up my back patio.
After a long, rainy winter, my backyard is in shambles. I love to garden, but I haven’t had any time to devote to it and it’s a disaster. I really need an outdoor makeover show to swoop in and unleash a celebrity landscape architect on the space to turn it into a magical wonderland of cozy nooks, lush foliage, and perfect grass. Can we make that happen?
I found this wicker dog basket for a friend from Chicago that was on the hunt for a bicycle seat for her pup. I’d buy it for myself, but my dog would tip the front of my bike over, and my cat would look like popcorn pinging around in a hopper (check out this pic to see exactly what I mean). So: if you buy this, please send me a photo of you and your pooch at anna {at} misosouper.com, so we can all ogle your adorableness.
*Yes, I know it’s out of stock, but if you read the user reviews, it seems to be perpetually backordered. Put your name on the list, and they’ll ship after the baskets are out of production.
