  The orange wasn't really my style either. Bummer.

  Can't figure out the signature thing, so here's the short, short version.....first daughter born on November 10, 2013. She was conceived through the magic of IVF after 2+ years of TTC.

  I got an email from Land of Nod saying they are having $4.95 shipping on their teepees. Because they are trying to force me into a purchase.

  I love the teepees, too, but I'm worried about cultural appropriation. It's weird, and a little racist, for a white/Asian family to have a teepee, no?

  @sv917 I don't think it's weird at all! I personally like them just a a play piece, but I suppose you could use it as a means to exposing your LO to other cultures. I think early exposures to different ways of life (current or historical) is great.
  
  BTW I am Native American, tribal affiliation and all, and this doesn't bother me in the least.

  Thanks for your opinion, @VegasGal1978‌. We have no room for one in our current place, but I'll reevaluate next year when we move. If we had one, I would definitely use it as a teaching tool as well as a cool place to read books.
