Ready to build a playroom full of toys that last more than a few months? Here I go over 11 playroom ideas that not only work for multiple ages 0-5 but also work on helping your child grow and build new skills.
With the upcoming holidays and young kids at home, it can become overwhelming to figure out how to navigate this season of giving and receiving with your children. It is easy to get caught up in the idea of more being better and comparing yourself to others and how much they are giving to their children. In our house, we try to live by a “less is more” philosophy and look to get high quality items that will last for years and grow with our little ones or find things second hand to let the item live on and reduce waste. As the holidays approach, we want to begin instilling these values in our daughter, while still letting the fun of making a holiday list be a part of our family tradition.
Trina's husband Cole here back for another "guest post" on the topic of fatherhood. Becoming a dad is a really exciting thing and most dads I know couldn't wait until the baby was finally born. For nine months the mom "hogs" the baby (even though she'd gladly share if it was possible) and gets to feel every turn, punch, and kick. When Trina was pregnant with L I absolutely could not wait for her to be born so that I could hold her and begin to bond with her. After delivery though, and once Trina started breastfeeding, I realized that I'd really have to capitalize on any opportunities for bonding because babies nurse and sleep a lot, which means limited chances for dad to hold the baby. These are the best ways I found that dads can bond with their new baby.
