Yoto Player for Kids Daily Routine The @yotoplay Yoto Player for Kids Daily Routine 

The @yotoplay_us is a screen-free audio player. It can play stories, music, podcasts, and activities. My son has had the Yoto Player for a couple years now and we decided to get my daughter one too. They both love it! The Yoto Player can also be used for a night light, wake up clock, room thermometer, and customizable timers. We homeschool so I love the variety of educational Yoto cards for phonics, math, and science. I control all the settings and content through the app in my phone. 

Add the Yoto Player to your kids daily routine this fall season! #yoto #yotoplayer #kidsroutine

Getting back into our daily school routine is one of my favorite things about the fall season. We homeschool, so we thrive best when our home is clean and organized. I’ve been focusing on decluttering and organizing the kids rooms. Walmart has been my go to place for finding affordable things for their rooms. This rolling cart, storage ottomans, baskets, and bookshelves are some of my favorite Walmart finds for my daughter’s room!

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!

Here’s a simple summer treat recipe and activity inspired by @motherscookiesus Sparkling Strawberry Mythical Creatures Cookies. These strawberry parfaits were delicious and topped with our favorite strawberry-flavored red and lavender frosted cookies! Then we took our strawberry treats outside and the kids painted strawberries on their new clay pots. 🍓☀️

Simple Holiday Crafts with Cricut

Thank you to Cricut for sponsoring this post. As always, all views and recommendations are 100% my own.

  • Before
  • After Using my Cricut

The holiday season is here! Some of my favorite memories growing up was doing holiday crafts with my mom! I’m so excited that I am continuing the holiday craft tradition with my family. I love using my Cricut Explore 3 to make simple holiday crafts with my kids. A Cricut is a cutting machine that can cut designs from materials like paper, vinyl, card stocks, and iron on transfers. Using my Cricut has made designing so simple and fun! During the holiday and winter season I love having a list of go-to crafts that I can do with my kids. With my Cricut, the craft ideas are endless which means I can create so many memories with my kids. Here are simple holiday crafts with Cricut. 


Christmas Cups

During the winter months I love sipping on coffee and/or hot chocolate. I bought this reusable plastic coffee cup from Micheals. Then I used my Cricut Explore 3 and designed a fun holiday picture in the Cricut Design space. If you want your kids to join in on the fun you can easily have them help you pick out a fun holiday design for their own cup. You can also personalize the cup by adding your child’s name!

Clear Ornaments

I absolutely love clear plastic ornaments for my kids. My kids both have small Christmas trees in their room so they love having personalized ornaments. I used my Cricut to design the ornaments! I added a Christmas tree on one side and the words snow day on the other side of the ornament. Then I allowed my kids to add some fake snow and glitter for the inside of the ornament! 

Snowflake Ornaments

The first snow day is aways so exciting for my family. My daughter helped paint the snowflake ornament and then I added the snow day word design in gold. Also, adding the year with a Cricut is a great idea 

Cloche Holiday Scene 

You may or may not know what a cloche is, but it has a dome shaped top that’s usually clear and a bottom. I love using these to add a holiday scene inside. This is a great way to add personalized home decor throughout your home during the holidays. I had my daughter paint a little holiday themed house and she added fake snow inside. Then I added my Cricut design on the cloche to match the decor colors in my home for the holidays.
