Be Geek Chic

I just can’t wait for Fabulous Find Friday! The geek in me has come out and now I can even show the world! My hubby always makes fun of me because of my knowledge of how to find things online and my new love of coding. He will randomly come up to me and tell me my HTML needs to be fixed or just spew out some random words he hears me use. I crack up every time because he obviously has no ideas what he is talking about. I am the modern day nerd eating my rice cakes (instead of cheetos) and drinking my Crystal Light (instead of Moutain Dew). I have found the coolest, nerdiest handbag ever! They are handmade by a guy named João Sabino. He uses 393 computer keys to make up this cool keybag. The key’s placement is random. They come in a variety of colors, black, pink, red, and white. There is a picture of a silver one and an alabaster looking one. Although, those aren’t listed in the buy me section, so I am not sure if they are for sale. The black one is available for purchase now and the other colors, which will be available in November, you can pre-order.

A Magical World for you Child

Last night I came across this site, Posh Tots. I liked the name (being a Posh Mama, how can I not?) so I decided to look around. I had to call my hubby over to come and see my find and ask if we can write a check immediately for this item. All i received were laughs. No words, just laughing. I know for sure my daughter would die to have this bed and we want to give our kids the best right? So this bed (as seen in the picture) is spectacular. Make sure your mouth is empty so you don’t spray your poor computer. It costs $47,000. There is no typo there. Yes, it is $47,000. Now I love my kids just as much as the next guy, but really?? Who can afford such a thing? You would have to be uber rich to even consider it a possibility! Oh, yeah, and you have to pay for shipping. YIKES! This bed even takes them 6 months to make because it is a custom order. Maybe i should send an email to Angelina Jolie and see if she is interested. Maybe i should tell her about the
Magical Windmill Playhouse for a better price at $38,000. Which do you think she may like?

Better than Mom’s Saliva-Fabulous Friday Find

admin — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:36:14 +0000

We always try to be better than our mothers (unless your mother was amazing of course). Remember when your mom would say “Come here, you have something on your face.”? You knew the inevitable was going to take place. You would be smelling your mother’s spit for a few hours. Garooss! i feel i have evolved a little. i let my kids lick my finger and i use their own spit. i say “tongue”, they stick out their tongue and know what’s coming. Imagine my delight when i came across Mom Spit. There are three, better than mom’s saliva, smells. You can choose from Fig & Green Tea, Lemon & White Tea, or just plain ol’ Unscented. It is foam based, no rinse, and brilliantly cleans the dirt or milk mustache your youngster had fun creating. Mom Spit has antimicrobial properties which leave the skin clean and fresh. It’s not a sanitizer, it’s Mom Spit, the universal no-rinse cleanser.

Do you think i could make a necklace out of it and have my kids always wear one? i guess, that may be a little to anal, huh? i am getting mine, are you going to get yours?-

Fabulous Friday Find

i am in love with Etsy as i am sure half this world is. It is such a great place to find unique items. i have found a clock which would be perfect inspiration for any room makeover. It is made by Infinity Arts which to my delight is right here in Portland, Oregon (that is one reason i love this place, so artsy fartsy). They have been making these fabulous clocks since 2000, and this year have decided to “go green”. If you need a fun clock or a conversation piece, they would be a fantastic choice! Infinity Arts also offers custom requests.
