Bliss & Miscellaneous

So it’s been a minute since I’ve posted any new fonts but I found this beauty when searching for…hmm, can’t remember but it was something work-related for sure then I got distracted by the pretty.

When my brother and I were little we had a tape of Chinese children’s songs – that is, American children’s songs, sung in Chinese – and since we don’t actually speak Chinese it drove my parents absolutely crazy! Keeping that in mind I’ve been looking for some (non-obnoxious) baby music.

First up I found Rockabye Baby which offers lullaby renditions of rock songs.

The covers of the CD’s are awesome renditions of the originals with cartoon bears replacing the original images (seriously, how cute are these?!)

Journey, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith & Weezer

When I was little I loved to read, I think mostly it was because my mom would always read to us when we were little. So with that in mind I’ve started picking out some books for the nursery library.

Normally I don’t buy books – because then what’s the point of my free library card? However, most kids like to hear the same stories over and over so I figure they’re worth the investment. I’ve found a lot of good deals in Amazon.com’s used book section where you can buy hardback books for a penny (!!) but shipping is $3-4 (so I’ll probably stick to our local bookstores). So here are some of the picks:
