We had our lunch here today. Actually, this is my brother. He opened this wild alaskan grill in The Strip District of Pittsburgh a couple of months ago. It’s a really great place to grab a quick lunch if you’re in the area. You can get rice, grilled vegetables and wild alaskan salmon for only [...]

a little improvement

We did a little book store browsing last week. Saya got the Taro Gomi coloring book Squiggles. I got The Nest Home Design Handbook. It’s a real treat because I almost never get to buy books. I usually browse at Barnes and Noble and then check out the books that I want at the library. [...]

We had a busy week. I’m not sure why, but it seems like we are not capable of slowing down lately. We did so much this week/weekend…aviary, zoo, children’s museum, spray park, pool, estate sale, arts festival, brunch, barbecue, park, park, park… I kind of miss hanging out at home. I tell myself that it [...]
polar bear fan club

I think the polar bear exhibit at the Pittsburgh Zoo is one of the coolest things to see here in the city. The bears swim right up to the glass and you can view them from just inches away. It really is super cool, and the polar bears are beautiful. Saya and I are members [...]

These sets have already been reserved, but I wanted to give you a little preview of the children’s pottery sets we will have available for sale in our etsy shop in September. They are really sweet and sized perfectly for children’s portions.

I am not sure if you know this, but you can find a lot of good ideas on the internet… I got inspired by this post on Bloesem Kids. A Belgian mama used IKEA fabric to make animal softies. I didn’t use IKEA fabric, but I did find an old sheet with a very large [...]
hunting and gathering

A weekend is not truly a weekend for me without a little bit of thrifty treasure hunting… Look at this little gadget I found. I never even knew these existed. (And I’m still not 100% sure how to use it, so any tips would be appreciated…) Look at all of this good work I did [...]

If you ever happen to find yourself on our street, you will surely see a baby or two…or three…or four.
