“My son got an A-minus on his chemistry test. An A-minus is an Asian F.”

So cool! I think Boomer would actually be pretty good at this.

Clay and I just got home after spending 5 days with his family in Minneapolis and Moose Lake, Minnesota. Fisher family visits always consist of great food, plenty of laughing, and loud, late-night games. This trip was no exception.

The weather was a nice break from the Arizona desert. We took full advantage by renting bicycles at Minnehaha Falls, pontooning on Sand Lake, tubing down the Cannon River Valley, and watching the Twins play at Target Field. We also took a little trip to look at some adorable shih tzu, poodle mix puppies. It was plenty difficult to not take one home.

We had a blast, but it’s great to be home in mosquito-free Phoenix with the pups.

Way back in 2010, I posted Kid Stuff for Adults showcasing some neat home items from Crate and Barrel’s online kids store, Land of Nod.

They’ve really stepped up their game, offering beautiful and functional pieces for children. Some of their products are so stylish they could easily fit into an adult’s home as well. Here are a few of my favorites.
