I love when Etsy features shops on their homepage. I get to make new shop discoveries. Like this pottery place called Ceramica Botanica. Such pretty patterns + gorgeous colors.

Every week until Em was two years old, I took her weekly picture. It’s been four months since those weekly pictures but Em is so accustomed to the routine that she often takes out her mat [where I'd take her picture] and we take turns taking pretend pictures. I was thinking a little toy camera would be something she might really enjoy. I rounded up these fun wooden options. Then, I read about my friend Kim giving her daughter [who is just a few months older than Em] her old camera. A real camera that her daughter uses to take real pictures. That might be fun, too!

We had lots of fun + did lots of touristy things. I’ve got about 6oo pictures to download, sort and edit. Then, I’ll be sharing them with you as well as a breakdown of all that we accomplished.

But until then…

I love these posters from the Etsy shop Field Trip. Such soft colors and I especially love that you can order posters as large as 13″ x 19″

A while back, I blogged about my search for a keepsake growth chart for Em. I’ve been meaning to share with you the one we ended up getting. We ordered the The Brimfield Growth Chart from Etsy. It’s a canvas growth chart that’s printed with a reproduction of an old black + white wooden ruler found in Massachusetts.

It’s over six feet tall, which I’m glad about because at Em’s 2 year appointment, they took her height, doubled it and estimated that she’ll be 5’8″ as an adult. That might sound normal to you. However, to a shortie like me [from a short family!] that seems really tall!

Have you tired that measurement trick? Did it work for your kids?

I’m really tempted to get a few of these handmade felt play food toys for Em. They are seriously cute. She loves playing in her play kitchen so I think these would be a great addition. There’s lots of unique options like the asparagus. Plus I love the interactive ones, too. The corn on the cob can be removed from the husk. The avocado seed comes out. There’s so many great ones to chose from that I can’t decide!
