Potty training for boys

I do love weird holidays, and the World Toilet Day came in handy because I've been wanting to write about urinals for a long time. I know, weirdo...but what can you do.

You see, as soon as I got my first flat, if only space allowed for it I was going to have a urinal. So we got it. When we moved to a bigger flat we couldn't imagine a bathroom without one anymore, so we got it again...
And now my kid is 3.5 and he started to 'pee like a big boy'...and although I learned today that '2.5 billion people do not have a clean toilet I am really wishing for this...

And with possibility to even clip it to your regular toilet bowl, even space is not a problem.

Calendars you will want

It is very hard for me to comprehend, but it really is that time of year already. Time to talk about holiday gifts, calendars and planners.

This year, for the first time, Két Egér (Two Mice) bookstore (Budapest) decided to have 2013. planners printed. But not just your regular planners. They gathered 7 designers, to create a limited edition of 70 planners (10 each) - hard covered, hand bound 112 pages printed on recycled paper.

Deskhouse by ninetonine

Have you ever noticed how kids struggle to reach the top of the paper they are drawing on, so they end up turning the paper.
Madrid based designer and architect Alberto Marcos designed this Deskhouse for ninetonine - table and a playhouse in one.

It even has a chimney to store pencils in.

This is a perfect position for drawing, reading, even playing with puzzles with some non slip mat of a sort. Many of us, including me, can not afford to have this, for both money and space reasons, but it is great design and it is on sale on fab now, so check it out if you love it and want it:)
