I found out that one of the items on my last post's wishlist totally sucks. Score. That way, I don't feel like I'm missing out....because, let's face it, I'm not going to spend $600 on a highchair (no matter how great it would look in our kitchen). I found a page chock full o' bad reviews on The Mozzee Nest highchair.

Quote from a dissatisfied customer: "We just received our Nest chair and are sending it back. It was such a disappointment. The design and style are beautiful but the chair lacks functionality. My rather large 8 month old kept sliding down into a slumped position because of the shape of the seat. By the time he had finished his second meal in the chair he had figured out how to remove the food tray, sending it crashing to the floor. The chair definitely needs some modifications before it is actually functional in real life."
If I spent $600 on a piece of baby furniture, I would expect more than that.

Now I have shifted my lust for that pretty orange hunk of modern plastic on a wobbly base to something that looks a little more solid and no less aesthetically pleasing.

The Svan High Chair is $240, which is still way more than I feel right about spending on a highchair, but seems very versatile.



Not only is it an infant high chair, but can be used during each stage of the child's development....even as an adult sized chair.

I will, however, keep the Britax Marathon on my list of wants. Fellow blogger Heidi assured me that it is totally worth the money. She owns the Marathon in the sweet "Camooflage" print. Yes, that would look so awesome in my car.

BTW, my car is a piece of crap '94 Taurus that I have pimped out a la trailer trash couture.


The car was given to us. It runs great and AC works like a champ, but it's not all that pleasing to the eye. The material and foam on the ceiling was peeling off and hanging down, so I decided to cover it with white faux fur.

I found some of my old childhood toys while visiting my parents this spring. It seemed only right to superglue them to my dashboard. I'm also collecting Homies figurings from those vending machines you find in all the Mexican restaurants 'round these parts. I eventually want to have so many plastic figurines that the dashboard becomes invisible.

I love the back window, although the fringe is starting to droop and needs to be re-glued. Between the fringes and the fur I probably used 856 hot glue sticks. Apparently, I should've used 857.

We bought cheesy flame decals from Autozone and plastic "spinner" wheelcovers from Wal-Mart. Somewhere along the way, the ones on the driver's side of the car have fallen off, which makes my ride extra ghetto.

The car came with some sort of mystery tar/paint substance all over the trunk and back bumper. I just can't figure out a way to make it look cool, but I thought silver flames might help.

I will have to drive this car until it is junkyard worthy because I'm not sure that anyone shares my taste in car interiors. My poor husband is embarrased to drive the thing.
