It is no secret that I am a huge fan of the classic board game Monopoly. So how could I not share this Web Lover’s Edition with my readers? Via the Behance Network. Just in case you’re interested (or really bored this Saturday evening), here are the other Monopoly editions I have written about in the […]

The following guest post comes from Amy of Parker Haus Roles, who has compiled a fantastic Lego Gift Guide (!!!), complete with pictures and links. J and I can’t WAIT until our kids are old enough to start enjoying Legos. We’ve been eyeing the gargantuan Star Wars sets for quite some time now, waiting for an “excuse” […]
Remember Cloudy? No? Let’s see if this picture of Claire crotch-punching Cloudy rings a bell: I keep forgetting how TINY Claire used to be! She is now more than twice Cloudy’s size. You can read all about Cloud’s origins here, including the hilarious story behind her name. 🙂 Lately we have been keeping Cloudy near Claire’s diaper […]
If it isn’t obvious by now, I *heart* Lego. J and I can’t wait until our kids are old enough for us to create Lego masterpieces with them! I also love creative Lego ads. Whether they are commissioned or unsolicited, the likes of the Shadow Ads and Star Wars Make Your Own Story series never cease […]
As a huge fan of the canceled television show Arrested Development (I couldn’t have been more proud of my husband when he named his Fantasy Football team “Steve Holt!” one year), I am LOVING these meticulously-detailed pieces by Matt De Lanoy. Photographed by Pepa Quin, the display was a wonderful addition to Brickworld 2011 in Chicago. The model […]
Earlier today, I read about Egalia, a Swedish preschool that aims to break down gender stereotypes. At this taxpayer-funded preschool located in the liberal Sodermalm district of Stockholm, staff avoid using pronouns such as “him” or “her” and address the 33 children as “friends” rather than boys and girls. Every little detail — from the color and […]
I’ve always said that even if we do end up getting an iPad or a Motorola Xoom (we still haven’t decided which), I would be reluctant to let our kids play with such an expensive device. Then there’s the imagination factor. As much as I am a geek and technophile, it always makes me a […]
After an embarrassing performance by my beloved Knicks in this year’s NBA Playoffs (way to celebrate your first playoff appearance in 7 years!), I must admit that I haven’t been quite as into the rest of the playoffs, or even the finals. But even I couldn’t ignore Dallas’ spectacular sweep of last year’s champions, or […]
And here I thought Cranium went all-out when they replaced pictures with clay. Check out the product page here. It seems a bit pricey at $34, but I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem for Lego and/or boardgame enthusiasts. Next up: a Pictionary game with origami (I kid). Via CrunchGear.

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
