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

Walmart Finds (daughters room)💕 Getting back into Walmart Finds (daughters room)💕

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!

Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room When baby boy ar Space Saving Ideas for Kids 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!

Summer break is where memories are made! #ad   He Summer break is where memories are made! #ad  

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. 🍓☀️ 

Ready to have a fun summer with your kids?! Now go out and create your own #MothersCookies inspired activity! #StopandTastetheFrosting
