Lennon and Maisy

We can't get enough of the Stella Sisters, Lennon and Maisy. These girl grew up on a farm in Ontario, Canada, where they listened to vinyl records and didn't have internet or cable. Funny that the girls are now on the TV show drama Nashville. The girls duet together, playing guitar, ukelele, piano and drums. We especially love the video below where the percussion is plastic butter tubs!

Don't forget to follow along on Pinterest, where we are posting extra photos of the girls!

Q&A with Brinley

Brinley, Age 4 1/2

(Son of Shaynah, piratesandpeonies.com)

KIRA: If you could wake up tomorrow with a superpower, what superpower would you want to have and why? 

BRINLEY: Ice Power - then I could freeze everything and then skate on it!

KIRA: If you could design a t-shirt what would you draw or write on it?

BRINLEY: The number 5 - because I am 4 and a half and can't wait to be 5! 

KIRA: What is the funniest thing you saw today/this week? 

BRINLEY: When I was running really, really fast yesterday and my pants started to fall down and you could see my ninja turtle undies! Remember that? That was so silly! 

KIRA: If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?

BRINLEY: I would make all the food taste like candy! We should just be able to eat candy all the time!

Stack and Scare

RAWR! The Stack and Scare collection is the newest and in my opinion the most innovative creation by Uncle Goose. These beautifully designed blocks are available in four unique sets of your favorite monster parts: eyeballs, horns, fangs, teeth, hands, feet and more! This was by far one of my favorite finds from the NY NOW show I visited last August. The mix and match combos are endless and each piece is non-toxic and made in the USA!
