Crib Mobiles for Baby Sports Fans

Babies spend a lot of time in their cribs staring up at the ceiling, which is why mobiles were created. You'd get bored with that view, too! There are literally thousands of different kinds of mobiles for every taste and decor, but these team-themed mobiles are simply adorable! Whether you're new parents or looking for a memorable baby gift, a crib mobile in the family's favorite sports team will be a total home run, slam dunk, touchdown...you get the point!

Here are a few of my favorites that are currently in stock online:

San Diego Padres   |   New York Knicks   |   UCF Knights  

Detroit Pistons   |  Ole Miss Rebels   |   Washington Redskins

Which crib mobile do you like best?

Style Rivalry: USF Bulls vs. UCF Knights

If you didn't go to college in Florida nor have any friends, relatives or acquaintances who did either, you're probably not familiar with the relatively new rivalry between the University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida. How did it begin? It's a simple matter of geographical coincidence. These bustling universities are a mere 85 miles apart and naturally, proximity breeds disdain. The rivalry, which USF currently leads 4-2 (Go Bulls!), even has a name -- The War on I-4 -- an homage to the busy highway that runs between Tampa and Orlando.

Sports Fan Friday: Danielle, Fun in the Sun

No matter who wins or loses, one thing is certain: sports fans are everywhere. Sports connect and bond people together in a way that nothing else does. Even bitter rivals have something in common -- they both love their teams. In the spirit of celebrating all kinds of sports fans, The Style Ref will occasionally profile fellow bloggers who can't help but love their teams in a fun feature called Sports Fan Friday. While they may devote their time to writing about topics other than sports, we're all fans on gameday.

Gift Ideas for College Freshmen

A close friend and TSR reader recently asked for advice about what to get her cousin, who was starting college at the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) this fall. She wanted to get her favorite freshman a few fun gifts to kick off the school year and celebrate the start of this new life chapter. It's definitely not easy to shop for a college freshman or even begin to know what they like, need or really want, but The Style Ref has some ideas to help you score cool points.
