colin divides his time between playing video games and fretting about his future.

douglas is fascinated by the cosmos and gets nervous in confined spaces.

kyle has remarkable computational abilities and is a bit of a hypochondriac.

mr. jefferson conducts himself in a gracious manner, though he has been known to lose his temper while playing board games.

Fair Trade Rattles

As a new mom-to-be, I'm amazed at how much more aware I am of where things are made and what they are made of. That's why when I came across these great knit rattles from Yellow Label Kids on our recent trip to LA, I just had to get them in the store.

Fairly traded, 100% handmade by mothers who make real wages from the handcrafts they produce - these knit rattles are a happy alternative to mass produced, commercial toys.

Come by and check them out at Pink or Blue. These are just a few of my fave's ...

APOLOGIES & an early new years resolution

I've been a bad bad blogger ... it looks like my last post was at the beginning of September! No excuses, but it's been a busy couple of months. Pink or Blue turned one (yeah!) and we've found out that we will soon have our own little boy to test out all the great modern baby lifestyle products on! Yup, am expecting - March of next year.

So - it's time to get back on the blog wagon and am making an early new year's resolution to post daily (well, at least every other day). So check back regularly and feel free to call me and my new year's resolution out if you haven't heard from me in a while.

happy new years. =D
