When it comes to children’s bathroom spaces, there are a few things you want them to be: functional, organized, and clean. There is nothing worse than a bathroom filled with clutter that has no rhythm or purpose and makes getting ready in the mornings frustrating for parents and littles!

With our girls being out of school for the summer we have been on the hunt for fun outdoor activities to keep them entertained and active! Having a few fun outdoor games or a playset on hand is great for when friends and neighbors come over or for when your kids are craving some time […]

Parents Magazine reached out to me a while back, asking me to participate in a challenge with four other bloggers– come up with an IKEA changing table hack and transform it into something with a totally different purpose.  With Ruby’s love of art and craft projects top of mind, I happily signed on!  Here’s what I […]
