The new Bloom Alma crib is a bit deceiving in its form and function. It looks like a beautifully built stationary crib, but is cleverly designed to easily fold up for space-challenged living situations. While I’m not sure of the benefit of folding and storing a bassinet/crib for a new baby that’s always sleeping, I see the Alma as a nice solution for travel and visiting guests. The Alma is made with birch from sustainable sources, uses low VOC finishes, comes with lockable caster wheels, and is adjustable to two mattress heights.

As an occasional fan of the world music category, I’m more than a little intrigued with Ziggy Marley newest CD, Family Time
"Growing up music was an important part of my childhood, Marley says. I see it being just as important in my children and all children growth and development. Music helps children to grow with open minds and open hearts and this is my message. This record represents my daily family life and is inspired by my three-year-old daughter Judah and baby Gideon. It was a joy to make and opened up new avenues in my creativity. Family Time is for all families and especially the world family."
Read an interview with Ziggy Marley from the LA Times, and check out a photo gallery of the young audience that showed up for Ziggy’s recent concert in Los Angeles.

Last weekend, Ford lent us a Flex for our 5-hour road trip from Los Angeles to Bass Lake near Yosemite National Park. We’d be “cabin camping,” which is one step below car camping in terms of roughing it: a bare-bones cabin was provided, so no need for a tent, and meals were served in the dining hall, so no need for the umpteen-million cooking and cleaning supplies. Still, with a lake in which to frolic and two little boys to outfit for the four-day trip, I knew we’d need some serious cargo room. The Flex proved itself worthy not only with its ample space, but also with many other perks.
