I love this butterfly mobile from Royal Buffet. The butterflies are cut out of a vintage dictionary pages and vintage french magazine pages. Absolutely darling!

Cardboard Abode
When I was a girl, I loved having my own personal space in the form of cardboard, pillows and blankets. My sisters and I would build forts, castles and houses out of miscellaneous linens hiding in our cupboards. When it comes time for my own kids to start foraging through sheets and old Uhaul boxes, I’ve now got a plan to make it easier on the high thread count bed linens. Check out these amazing Villa Julia cardboard houses by Estudio Mariscal via Design Boom that gives children the opportunity to build AND decorate their own cardboard house. It’s is a creative child’s dream!

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about this fantastic giveaway. The unbelievably talented photographer Cynthia Spivack would like to offer the winner of our contest a free photo shoot, which can be used for an engagement session, family shoot, baby shoot….you name it! I’ve put together a collage of her family photography for you to feast your eyes on. Cynthia specializes in family photography (which has to be so hard…how does she get those wiley kids to look good on camera?) but loves couples as well!

Here are the giveaway rules:

Rain Clouds
While I wait for the June Gloom to clear up, all I can see are grey skies. But today, Little Green Frog Designs cheered me up with these Rain Clouds, which I think are perfect for your little ones. I suppose grey skies aren’t bad if they look like this…

Documenting: First Haircut
Okay, okay. I’ll admit…these may not be FIRST haircuts, technically, but I think photographer Sarah Q gives us good enough reason to have a camera (preferrably with a pro behind it) to shoot the proverbial first haircut. How cute are Kai and Roxy, Sarah’s kids?
