Every since I discovered crooked cakes (topsy turvy cakes) while planning my wedding, I have been absolutely obsessed with Alice In Wonderland themed anything. If my husband hadn't stopped me, we probably would of had a Mad Hatter themed wedding. My one year old son on the other hand *insert evil laugh here* didn't stand a chance on his first birthday or when it came to furnishing and decorating his room.

Even though I got my chance at whimsical decorating and party planning, I still get such a kick out of furniture and decor like this! While yes it is on pricey side, these crooked pieces of furniture from Dust Furniture are amazing and inspiring.

I'm not sure why red and white stripes have been catching my attention so much lately. I may be in a Dr. Seuss slash Where's Waldo phase or possibly the combo is just catchy and fun! How funky yet sweet are these red and white striped I Heart Mom Leggings from Okutani? 

Who says A has to be for Apple? Delight.Com, One of my fav online shops for modern gifts and gadgets, says it's for Afro! With amazing illustrations from Christian Northeast, these alternative alphabet blocks will be a amusing conversation piece for parents & friends and of course traditional stacking fun for the kids!

Cutting the cake doesn't have to be a dreaded task anymore! Make it fun with the and a little bit of a show with this table saw shaped cake cutter from Fred.

I spotted this handy kitchen tool at a recent Bob The Builder themed birthday party and though it was such a cute an clever tool. It really caught all the boys attention and quickly cut the huge cake.

Let your photo's or walls speak for themselves! The chalkboard thought bubble from Red Velvet Art would be a fantastic photo prop that you can tack up to your wall when the photo shoot has ended. A great way to leave yourself or family members important notes or words of wisdom. $28 @ RedVelvetArt.Com

Make the morning a little more fun, sweet or sassy with these interchangeable grill plates and hip looking toasters from Pop Art Toasters. Additional toaster grill plates can be ordered and if your not feeling up to the happy face or Luv U, just remove the plates and toast as usual (for the 1963 toast).

There is one good thing about a cord. It will keep certain items in place. Unlike my cell and cordless phones, I will always know where my corded (yes they still exist) landline phone is. But letting go a little control in return for saving on energy costs as well as using an eco-friendly product is well worth it.

The Greenman lamp, which is made from eco-friendly bio-plastic corn and trimmed off with bamboo, is a fun and modern looking lamp that's cordless. It's solar powered so you power the lamp by flipping it over during the day. This has been a very tricky item to chase down a place to buy it. While I couldn't find a US distributor, I did find one that ships internationally. $54 (approx) @ MadeInDesign.Co.Uk

Here's a trick to make dinner time a little more exciting or add a fun kick to encourage picky eaters: Chopsticks!

Headphones for kids! It's funny how even with simpler and sleeker options, we return to what's comfortable for us from our youth. While modern earbuds are great for jogging and being a little more discreet, smaller ears may not find them as accessible or comfortable.

Any toy that comes in it's own container gets an extra thumbs up from this mom. It gives it it's own special home and keeps it in better condition. Pack this 12" inflatable beach ball in it's can, keep it in your beach bag and your always ready for the coast. $8 @ FredFlare.Com
