Mamas, do you know the book Iggy Peck, Architect? It’s awesome. Not only does the entire family love to read it, but it’s pretty much guaranteed to inspire a spurt of creative block-building in this house.
Raines loves that Iggy builds with dirty diapers (among other things). I love that this book reminds me that passion is everything, and that breaking the rules sometimes is a fabulously important life lesson.
But the other reason I love this book? It has style in spades. Whether you are marveling at the architectural engineering, or the mod, mod decor, or the fabulously dressed characters…there’s plenty to inspire. I particularly loved the little boy style – it hits the right mark between nerd and cool, yet is still so joyfully boy.

I so wish I could have found his striped pants…at least the red cord gives off a similarly cool vibe. And how I love the quirky socks in this book!
