{ Can I Just Live Here? }

As a new mom I'm sure I follow / subscribe to too many blogs and people about parenting (mostly cool things for kids), but today there was a post for these incredible outdoor play houses. Now my lil' man just has your standard run of the mill fischer price play house / slide combo (it was actually a craigslist find), so he doesn't need a new play house or anything, but the designer inside of me just SQUEELED when I saw these!

Meet the Illinois Play House from Smart Play house (appropriately named)! Smart Play House has tons of other great modern play houses, but isn't this Farnsworth House knock off the cutest? I'd totally live there (well if the darn thing was scaled up like 300%). I mean it's a straight up copy, but who hasn't copied this house (thinking of ol' PJ, and don't forget Bill Shell - ut arch knows what I'm saying).

{ American Girls with American Girls }

I always wanted one. The girls who had American Girl dolls were always so cool! I knew they were silly and way over priced, but I thought I looked like Samantha (they didn't have Josephina when I was younger), and nothing would be cooler than looking like and dressing like a doll... now that does seem like crazy thoughts! Either way, artist, Ilonc Szwarc has photographed real life creepster, or 'American Girls' with their American Girl Dolls. {via}

{ Darth Vader was Charismatic }

This lil girl shocked us all when she is asked to help the jedi fight Darth Vader only to find out, she really isn't a jedi lover at all... See Darth convert her to the dark side. too cute! ctm.

So with Easter Being Right around the corner, the only thing I really look forward to (since I am no longer a 'church' go-er) is the Cadbury Cream Eggs. But the little girl inside of me, wishes I had a good reason to dye eggs, but after finding this link... maybe I do? Inhabitot posted an tie-dye (pun intended) product from Mahar Drygoods that will make your eggs the divas of design. For more on this click here.
