Holiday Gift Ideas: For The Little Ones

November 25, 2011

1. Jonathan Adler Zodiac Pillow ($98): It's expensive, but I love this as a gift for a newborn (or anyone, any age, really).

2. OshKosh Thermal Bodysuits ($20): I have a few of these, and they're great - really sturdily made and cozy.

3. Vulli Chan Pie Gnon Soft Chew Toy ($16): It's the same company that makes the classic Sophie Giraffe, but it's a Chan Pie Gnon. Whatever that is.

4. Leonor Greyl Mousse Douceur Fleurs D'Oranger ($25): For the baby (or mom) with fancy bathing habits.

Easy, Cozy Mulled Wine

November 18, 2011

That "turn" thing I was talking about?

Hey-o.

The major problem with this weather is that it makes me hate my dogs, and they didn't do anything to me except for look cute and need to pee in a place that is not my floor.

But cold weather does have its benefits, and one major one is that you get to make things like mulled wine and call it "cooking" (what? you do it on a stove).
