How to Make a DIY Sensory Kit

How to Make a DIY Sensory Kit

I kept adding sensory kits to my cart on Etsy, only to close out and do it again the following week. I finally decided to just make my own sensory kit to see if it was something my three year old would actually play with before investing in the expensive ones. This is mostly because I wasn't sure how (or if) she would play with it, though I've heard other moms swear by them! I grabbed some Play-Doh from the stash we already have. Because this was a few weeks ago, I decided to go with …

Favorite Non-Electronic Toddler Toys

Favorite Non-Electronic Toddler Toys

Like most moms, I cannot stand toys that make noise. Especially toys that make the same noise over and over and over. When I started to think about all of our favorite toys, I realized that they're all non-electronic toys. They don't need batteries, and they require a toddler to use imagination to play! I remember reading an article about toddler toys (I couldn't find it but will link it here if I do find the link!) that talked about the importance of imaginative play. You want your kids to …

Garage Stroller Organization

Garage Stroller Organization

I posted a photo of our new stroller organization in the garage on my Instagram stories, and you all could not get enough of it. I’ve never had so many DMs about one thing! We originally had a shelving unit in the garage, but it wasn’t a great place to store our strollers. So those were just kind of spread out between the two cars. As you can imagine, it wasn’t a good system: We were frequently moving one out of the way to get to another. We have 4 strollers, including the click in base …

Our Painted Interior Doors

Our Painted Interior Doors

When we were picking out paint during the renovation, I used Pinterest a LOT. (I highly recommend looking on Pinterest to see how various rooms look with a single paint color! Just search for "(paint color) living room" for example. I kept coming across painted interior doors, which I hadn't really considered. But I really liked the look and decided that if we got sick of it, we could just paint them back to white. Easy! I took this ^ photo when I was working on deciding the final colors for …

Planning E’s Big Girl Bedroom

Planning E’s Big Girl Bedroom

We're finishing the process of putting together a big girl bedroom for our little miss, so today I'm sharing the mood board and some of my thoughts about this new big girl room! When we moved back into the house after our big renovation, we thought we would be finishing some inside details in the near future. (Things like window seats, built ins, etc. that weren't able to be completed before our move in.) That turned into waiting until Spring, which obviously turned into waiting indefinitely …
