A nice piece of grass.

Since we've started our son on solids, feeding him and the maintenance of all of the gear that comes with the territory takes up a pretty large collective chunk of my day. I actually prefer paying three times as much for the WeeGo glass baby bottles because they have fewer parts than the Dr. Brown's bottles, which means they take less time to wash (plus, they're so pretty!).

I'm always on the lookout for any products that make "have-to's" feel more like "want-to's" and the latest addition to this genre is the Grass Countertop Drying Rack from Boon. It's way easier on the eyes than its white plastic counterparts (pun intended). And I actually look forward to washing Jed's bottles and spoons because it's fun to plant them into the grass like croquet wickets.



I found mine at Target but you can buy it online through Land of Nod (one of my all-time favorite site for kids' stuff) or directly from the Boon Inc. website ($19.99 at all three places). It also makes a great shower gift. The recipient might not realize right away that it's a drying rack, but that's pretty much the whole point, isn't it?
