Just like the real moon, this lunar light turns on and off as darkness comes and goes. Unlike the real moon, it will cycle through its 12 phases any time you click the remote control, or set it to cycle automatically.: Moon in my room

A designy fold down rocking horse
Made from end-of-life rubber wood, the Tori Rocking Horse (2000) makes good use of lumber that previously would have been burned and turned into charcoal. This chemical-free material comes from trees that have ceased yielding latex. This is a normal occurrence when such trees reach 25 years of age and farmers need to destroy them in order to replenish their crop. By salvaging this “worthless” material, a design like the Tori Rocking Horse reduces our dependence on endangered trees and stops the ecological impact of unnecessarily burning fallen rubber wood trees. The horse folds down for convenient storage and the edges are rounded for safety. For ages 2–3.

I just fell in love with a bed.
Not that our little Ella is outgrowing her toddler bed yet, but I keep wondering what’s going to be next? I just fell in love with this uber-stylish bed: Bett dn43. Check out the smart hidden storage. But hey, why do I always like the really expensive stuff? Mom?

We just recently purchased this Aero Bed for Kids
Ella and her friend Tanner were jumping on it for HOURS last night. It’s not only good for sleeping but also comes in handy for practicing those summersaults.
(NOTE: mattress cover is not as pictured – the one swissmiss received had a cheesy stars and moons pattern on it. Yikes)
