I’m not sure which is my favorite in this amazing selection, but really any of them would do. Willow’s pretty cool (I have always had dreams of rocking a fro), but they all have their own spice. Last spring,…

Snicker-whuut?! SNICKERDOOS. A lovely new little brand that allows your kiddos to dress up - and allows you to still dress them for the day, everyday. Here’s our download on this nifty new brand (and a 20% discount code for your order)…

This feels about right for today. We’re dancing because it is Friday! We’re obsessed with The Happy Self Journal, but until it is available to us in the US (they are currently working on finalizing their American version) we are staying linked with everything The Happy Self provides to get us through our days of parenting. Francesca, the founder of The Happy Self Journal, also shares a lovely Podcast on her site…

A few years back one of my sisters-in-law gifted a pretend cosmetic set to Lucy + Greer. It is a FAVORITE toy! I love it because it takes up literally no room, causes no mess and has given the girls hours of pretend play ideas. They love it because it looks legitimately like real make up, they can create and create and create and they can do it with each other and friends!

I have an 8 year old that loves all things travel, art and culture. She gets inspired easily, just like her mama ✋. Watching this bloom I've done the best I can to find cool, interesting, creative outlets for her. Whether it be learning french with our amazing neighbors (more on this later!), creating and learning her own sense of style, or participating in a fun society like the Mr. Boddington’s Secret Society of Letter Writers I’d like to say I’ve got her covered! Check out what Mr. B’s SSLW is all about….

A few weeks ago our country celebrated National Coloring Book Day (LOL). Yup. It’s a thing. Since we were finishing up our summer vaca, we missed sharing avorite “coloring books” with you on the blog. So, here it goes…

Happy Monday! Today we are excited to start a new series on the blog. The series, “DIY with Me and My Hubs”, will be our way of sharing projects Mike and I have taken on (whether they are projects we have created or projects we have read + learned about that became inspiration for our own household needs|wants). Since Mike and I are DIYers and love to create, there have a been a lot thus far. Some live permanently in our old home, others are movable and some now live in our “new” renovated (by us!) farmhouse. Today’s project share - a mini pretend play retail shop (lemonade stand, puppet show stage, etc) for kiddos….

It’s not a secret that I have a brown thumb. Truthfully anything I attempt to plant, if I’m successful to even get it in the dirt properly, usually ends up dying. However, in our new home I have made a firm commitment to embrace it, make our new yard our own and enjoy it while doing it! Enter my girls…

Five words you want your child/ren to grasp, learn, understand, but mostly have fun while engaging. Bitsy came across an innovative children’s STEM-focused company that is going to blow your mind. We’re sharing KiwiCo. with you today to motivate you and your little ones into learning, fun projects and keeping busy (did we say while learning?!)! Kiwi Co. was created by educators, makers and engineers to bring today’s child an exciting approach to science, technology, engineering, art and math. They neatly and passionately create amazing experiences in all of these categories for children of ages 0-16(+!). Experiences like making and assembling your own light up wire art and a “fun with flight” experience where they are able to create their own funny-face paper kites that really fly! One of the projects that that Bitsy has its eye on and really WOWS us is the one that allows you to build and fire a real, functioning trebuchet that launches a ping-pong ball up to 10 feet. Yup. Mind blown!

Lucy’s birthday is coming up (soon 😁) and we’ve started the planning. So, as we think through our favorite gifts, we decided to motivate you today with another great birthday gift idea. Lu’s birthday wish list is more detailed this year, as she will be turning 8, so the pressure is kind of off to get super creative. However, we always like to surprise our girls with something a little more personal, more special from Mike and myself. We know you know at this point how much Bitsy loves Pinhole Press so bare with us as we share yet another great (inexpensive) gift option for kiddos that will really show you love them. And, best of all, this gift creates imaginative play for hours. Our girls adore them and frequently I will find them on their own playing with them, creating stories and characters and scenarios that would spark an interest in play in even the crankiest kid!
