Lion and Lamb Fabrics

Spoonflower, one of our favorite places to shop for unique, quality fabrics online, recently hosted a contest asking designers to create fabrics with both lions and lambs — signature animals of March— and the submissions were gorgeous.

Check out the top ten designs on the Spoonflower contest page. We can visualize pretty much all of these fabrics in a nursery or kids room — on accent pillows, as window treatments, or even crib bedding.

Spring Brunch Table Setting Ideas

It may not feel like Spring just yet but before you know it the trees will be filled with leaves and flowers will be blooming. And the truth is I can’t wait! Not only because of the weather and beautiful flowers, but also because this means I get to enjoy brunch once more. It’s not as fun in frigid temperatures, don’t you agree?

Splurge-Worthy: 4Moms Origami Stroller

You might have heard all the buzz recently about the new $3000 Aston Martin stroller that hit the market. Sure, it’s got style and flare. But even if I had the money, I just don’t think I could bring myself to spend a small fortune on a stroller.

The 4Moms Origami Stroller ($849) on the other hand, is worth every penny in my book. It has everything a mom could ask for in a stroller. Literally. EVERYTHING.

POWER-FOLDING: Opens and closes itself at the touch of a button.
SELF-CHARGING: Generators in its rear wheels charge the Origami while you walk and can even charge your cell phone.
LCD DASHBOARD: Includes thermometer, speedometer, trip and lifetime odometers.
CELL PHONE CHARGER: Use the Origami to charge your cell phone while you walk with this optional accessory.
LOTS OF STORAGE: Strollers need to work in the real world, not just in the store. That means cup holders, storage pockets and a big removable storage bag.

Just watch the video below and you’ll see what I mean. But we warned, you’re going to want to run out and buy it this instant.
