How to Make a DIY Sensory Kit

December 23, 2020

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 …

Gift Guide: Best Gifts for Guys

One of the most asked-for gift guides every year is one for the guys! I asked T to help me put together a gift guide for the "everyguy" and he came up with quite a few different ideas of the best gifts for guys. Shop the post: Gifts for guys If he (normally) travels a lot and loves music, you could also get him a waterproof speaker - great to take to the pool, on the boat, or just have in the house. This one (from Bose) links to your phone so you can take calls directly through it on …

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 …

Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers + Gifts Under $25

December 3, 2019

Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers + Gifts Under $25

I don't know why, but I always stress over the "smaller" gifts - like when you have to get a gift under $25 for an office party swap. I usually do gift cards for my mailman and the UPS man (bless him, he comes here so often), but gift cards just feel so impersonal in some cases.

Everything here is under $25 and appropriate as a stocking stuffer OR …
