I wanted to post a review of these amazing books from Habbi Habbi that I picked up for my little one. They are available in Mandarin and Spanish, but I’m using Mandarin so I will focus on that aspect. However, I’m sure the Spanish versions are just as great.

No stranger to Kickstarter, I wasn’t surprised when when the project I backed by NIID back in January turned out to be months behind schedule. I’ve backed a few Kickstarter projects now, and only two delivered on time and at the promised quality (Minaal Carry On 2.0 and Wandrd Duo Daypack). So I expect when I put in my backer pledge to basically forget about the project for half a year or so, and I laugh at any projected production timelines that are less than at least 4 months. NIID also had the unfortunate timing of being affected by Covid as well. I was pretty surprised when I actually received the Radiant Sling Bag last week at how well-made it is! Read on for my first impressions and initial review, and to see what fits inside the bag.

Who knew that choosing a baby bathtub would be so much trial and error? In my search for a baby bathtub that worked for our space and our family, I have literally purchased…let’s see 5 of them? I’ll describe the final winner here and review a bunch of other tubs just didn’t work that well for us.

I’ve been meaning to do this review for almost 9 months! I came across Defy Bags almost a year ago. They are a workshop out of Chicago specializing in rugged, stylish, handmade backpacks, duffels, briefcases, and accessories. They are handmade in the USA and everything they make has a unique rugged aesthetic. Their target audience seems to be pretty masculine, but I love me a good masculine bag sometimes too! I’m also a sucker for waxed canvas, and they do a lot of waxed canvas bags. When I saw their Verbockel Backpack, I was instantly smitten by its good looks and its versatility.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted but I wanted to throw up a quick first impressions of this gorgeous bag from Jemma – the Emma Traveler 39. I’m always in search of the perfect work bag so I was really excited when I came across this option.
