I Buy Modern: My Recent Purchases
One of the hazards of this blogging game is that I’m always shopping online for you, and every so often, I find things that I can’t resist myself. These are a few of my most recent purchases.

1- Once I spotted this I Will Never Lego print on swiss-miss, I knew I had to have it. Not sure which of my two boys will get this one, but it’s got to be in my household. I have a few days to decide before it arrives.
2- We purchased a Mini Kanken when my youngest started preschool a few months ago, and while it was the perfect size for him, the only thing that fits into it is his lunchbox. There’s no room to stuff anything else like a jacket, so I’ve just upgraded him to this Classic Fjällräven Kanken backpack in Ox Red, his color of choice.
3- Beaba’s Pixie Night Light and Lantern now sits on my son’s nightstand. It’s the perfect thing for him to grab on trips to the bathroom in the night. I just wonder how long we’ll be able to go before the Pixie gets a little smile added to his face. For now I’m hiding all the permanent markers in the house!
4- I finally purchased a Boon Stash for myself. I’ve got it hanging at my desk to store little odds and ends without taking up space on the table top. I’m very pleased!
5- Finally, speaking of my son’s nightstand, this was a recent addition as well! We needed a place for his alarm clock, books, a glass of water and of course, the nightlight, so I purchase the Ayres Nightstand from Argington to go with his Ayres bed. So far so good! And he loves the little drawer on the bottom for storing all his “valuables.”

Let me know if you have questions about any of the products!
