When baby boy arrived I knew bunk beds would be a great option. When he’s a little older, both boys will share the room. I’ve simplified their room and found ways to save space so it doesn’t look cluttered. I use under bed storage bins for toys and extra blankets. The 6 tier rolling cart is perfect for papers and art supplies. We limit toys in this house so this medium size basket is perfect. Also love adding these bins on the self for small toys.

We’re soaking up the last bits of summer break. Our summer was filled with pool days, water parks, popsicles and riding our bikes outside in the sun. We made so many memories this summer. I’ll miss the relaxing days and staying up late. Our school year starts on Monday and I’m excited to get back into our routine. 

Cheers to all the memories we made this summer!

Michaels Kids Club Winter Workshop

One thing that keeps my kids busy is crafts! The winter months are almost here so we’ll be staying in the house a lot more often. I’m always looking for fun activities for my kids. From December 1st until December 12th, Michaels will be offering a FREE kids winter workshop online! Each day your kids will have the opportunity to create a holiday inspired project. The recommended age is 3+ . You can stop by Michaels or you can go online to pick up the instructions booklet and supply list. You can click here to register for the free workshop.  

The 12 craft projects are:

Wednesday, December 1 – Craft Stick Truck Ornament

Quick Tips for the Workshop

1. Give your child enough space to be able to move around and create their craft. 

2. If your child is doing the craft on a table, lay out a tablecloth so it’s easy to clean up any mess.

3. Double check to make sure your child has all their supplies so they can keep up with the instructions during the project.

3. Offer encouragement and praise after your child has completed their project. 

4. Save the instructions booklet and supplies list so you can do these projects again with your child.


I’m so excited for my kids to create some fun holiday inspired crafts. If you’re like me, be sure to have a list of go-to activities that you can do inside with your children during the winter months! Check out more of my holiday focused content!
