The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
If I had a wishlist, these Helvetica Cookie Cutters by Beverly Hsu would be the number one thing on it. Williams-Sonoma, are you reading? Please produce these so that I can buy them. Thanks in advance.

I have a lot (understatement) of cookie cutters. Some part of me is convinced cookies taste better in shapes. Tho' there are few cookies I have turned away because they were juuust cookie shaped.
Seriously, I need these mass-produced posthaste!

I got these for Christmas and they’re so cute! http://www.cookiecutters4less.com/deluxealphabetcookiecutters

I love knowing there are so many other design / font geeks out there that appreciate how great these would be!
