Cool Stuff.

Pin It

 

I’ve never been an Oh My Gosh, I Need This Right Now kind of girl. I keep up with my appearance in that I pretty much wear at least foundation everywhere I go but I am still sporting the same hole-ridden pair of sneakers I think I bought back when I got my first apartment, UM, WOW, eight years ago? (Seriously? That was eight years ago??)

But Pinterest has effectively turned me into a coveting whore. Not stuff for myself, if that makes it any better. KIDS STUFF. Holy Crap, the kids stuff… 90% of the stuff I pin are things that are either free (like ideas, recipes and crafts) or stuff I can make myself. Then again, there are some things that cost money that I can’t help but stare at longingly, thinking out loud: Oh My Gosh, I Need This Right Now.

Among those things:




Cool maps for the kids’ bedrooms.





These prints.

And number one on my wish list:



This book from Amsterdam about a mole trying to figure out who pooped on it’s head. In fact, it’s actually called About A Mole Who Wants To Know Who It Was That Pooped On It’s Head. Look inside…

I have a serious Pinterest addiction. I need help. Haha.

You know, you could probably paint those maps yourself =) You definitely have the talent!

Oh my, those maps. That would be awesome.

We actually have that book and the kids think it's HILLARIOUS.

They sell it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Story-Little-Mole-Search-Whodunit/dp/081091641X/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1

Oh Sarah, that's awesome! Thanks! It's a "classic" children's story in Amsterdam, did you know that? I thought that was so cool. And it's actually very educational. I can't wait to grab a copy!

Actually, Allie, I would like to try the watercolor world map myself (just because it would make it that much more meaningful to Scarlett who I'd like to have it), but I wanted to make sure the link was up for anyone who wanted to purchase it from the original artist because hers is pretty kick ass. (Elisabeth at poppyandpinecones on Etsy - only 20.00!)

We have this book! My son LOVES it. What is it about boys and poop? I don't get it at all. But its a pretty good story.

Alicia, when I click on the maps I just get the pictures, no links to who sells them--and I love them both- a lot and would love to get the top one for my day care home. Thanks so much for sharing-I get some super ideas from your blog and btw--your son is whip smart... I love that in kids.

Thanks Lynda. I don't know why it isn't working for you.. it still works when I click on them. Try finding me on Pinterest. They're either on my 'art' board or 'for the home.'
