the lion sleeps tonight

Which is why I love this quilt: super-soft and intricately detailed (I know because I have one in a different pattern), this gender-neutral spread will last long enough to be a backdrop for your kid’s college bong and bongo drums.

modernartcoloringbook.jpgHaving a kid gives you the opportunity to reclaim certain primordial pleasures, chief among them Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, rubber ducks, and coloring books. Inspired by yesterday’s Everywhere Daily Candy, I present to you the ultimate in cheap fun: color your own Modern Art Masterpieces and Human Anatomy. Throw in a Classic Crayola 64-Pack and a bottle of Two Buck Chuck, and a hot Friday night (after the kids go to sleep, of course) is all yours for under $15. Staying inside the lines optional.
