7 Reasons You Need To Start Reading Manga Today @ Rainbowhill Language Lab

Now that I can read hirigana and am working on learning katakana, I’ve picked up a few manga to practice. Matt has a few that he’s been working on. I’ll let you know how it goes once I get past the first page!

Free Waldorf Playstand Plans @ Against the Grain Carving

I really like the idea of these playstands for imaginative play, but really don’t want to dish out the big bucks for one (and to have one shipped here!) Maybe soon I can get away from babies and get some time in the wood shop to make one with these free plans!

Lego Soap @ Roots & Wings Co

Love it! Can’t wait to try it!

I’ve wanted to learn to quilt, but it’s kind of terrified me. This gorgeous thing (with awesome instructions!) looks like just the kick to get me going. Who wants to join me?

I’ve done something like this with Kool Aid and a little water to make scrach-n-sniff paintings. I’ll definitely be doing this with the boys, too!

Helvetica Cookie Cutters @ Beverly Hsu

Every since I watched Helvetica, I’ve definitely appreciated typography and especially this particular typeface in a way I didn’t think I ever would. Now I just wish we could purchase these cookie cutters.

When You Know Better, You Do Better @ Feels Like Home

So many good things to keep in mind regarding children and food. I wonder if I shouldn’t be using the M&M method of potty training right now.
