As a child, I spent hours learning the locations of countries and capital cities on maps with GeoSafari. The little geographer in me is smitten with this pillow. Via shopdirtsa.

Tacos
Now this is Mexican food that even Greg can get behind. I'll be whipping up a batch this week, though I may substitute the peach jam for some mango chutney that I have on hand. Yum! Image and recipe via Design*Sponge.

Viva
We just got a copy of Along A Long Road by Canada's Frank Viva. The illustrations are amazing. I'm so excited to share this book with our little one. Image via Along A Long Road.
Picnic
Two blocks from our house is the Victorian-style urban park, Bannerman Park complete with a playground, public swimming pool, baseball diamond and lots of places to set out a blanket under a tree for a picnic. It is actually the oldest park in Newfoundland and Labrador. As a child, my grandmother (who lived literally across the street from our current house for more than 30 years) would take me and my cousins to that very park while caring for us while our parents were at work. I've bookmarked the same walk I took as a child with her as a regular routine for our son and me once he makes an appearance. This chevron picnic basket seems the perfect DIY to stash in the carriage to use to enjoy a mid-afternoon snack in Bannerman Park. Photo and DIY instructions via Twig and Thistle.

Clutch
I have determined that the cost and style efficient alternative to a diaper bag is a large purse (or three) with interior pockets (check) combined with a diaper clutch that includes a changing pad. I love both Posh House Originals and The Uncommon Kid's offerings.
To assist in diaper changing outside the nursery but still in our home, I've put together a standing tote that holds a Babymel Changing Station (a lovely present from my aunt and cousin), diapers, Penaten, wipes, Humble Pie burping cloths and a few soft toys and teethers for distraction. With a three story house, having a traveling diaper tote to bring with us from floor to floor is a necessity.
Goddess
Goddess in the Doorway is one of my favourite solo albums of all time. It reminds me of listening to The Rolling Stones with my parents as a little girl. I'm curious what music our son will remember from his childhood when he is in his late twenties.
