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!

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. 🍓☀️

I love the flexibility of being able to homeschool in different places. Usually 2-3 times per week we are homeschooling at the library, museums, and with a co-op! So that’s means I need the school supplies packed and ready to go. I’ve had Lands End backpacks and lunch bags for my kids for several years. The quality is 10/10! Also excited for my son to use the his new Blue Sky academic planner that’s specifically for elementary age kids.

Valentines Day Snack Boards for Kids

Valentine’s Day is a day to express love and gratitude toward our loved ones. It’s been a tradition in our family to do love themed activities for a week leading up to February 14th. This year, we focused on fun snack boards. My kids are at the age where they are always asking me for snacks. So I figured I would start creating themed snack boards for my kids. The snack boards that I create are typically simple with minimal snacks. So here are some fun Valentine’s Day themed snack boards for kids. 

  • Tic Tac Toe SnackBoard
  • Fruits and Chocolate Snack Board
  • Movie Night Snack Board
  • Heart Cupcakes Snack Board
  • Heart Waffles Snackboard

Tic Tac Toe Snack Board

Tic Tac Toe was probably one of the first games I taught my kids. It’s a simple way to bond with your kids while playing a game and eating a snack. I thought it would be so cute to create this tic tac toe snack board for my kids. 

What You Need

Graham Crackers

Conversation Hearts 

Icing Writing Gel 

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


Fruit and Chocolate Snack Board 

Anytime I make a snack board for my kids, I try to get healthier options. I like to add fruit to their snack boards with a little chocolate. Strawberries are easy to cut into hearts and they go so well with chocolate. For the apples, you can easily use a cookie cutter to cut it into a heart shape. 

What You Need

Strawberries

Apples

Valentine’s Day Sprinkles 

Chocolate Melts 

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


Movie Night Snack Board

We love doing movie nights on Fridays at the house. So a simple snack board with popcorn and M&M cupid mix is everything they need for a fun night.

What You Need 

Popcorn 

M&M Cupid Mix

Heart Shaped Cupcake Liners (Silicone)


Heart Cupcakes Snack Board

I found the cutest heart shaped pan from Target. This would be a big hit for my kids because they absolutely love cupcakes. I added the white icing on top of the cupcakes. Then I dipped them in sprinkles. Perfect!

What You Need

Heart Shaped Cupcake Pan

Icing

Valentine’s Day Sprinkles

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


Heart Waffles Snack Board

I love that the brand Dash comes out with themed waffle makers throughout the year. This heart shaped waffle maker is just so cute. Instead of syrup I drizzled icing on top. Then I added the cute X and O cookies. The waffles are pretty small so it’s the perfect size for a snack for your kids 

What You Need

Waffle Mix

Dash Heart Shaped Waffle Maker

Icing

X and O cookies

Heart Shaped Charcuterie board (Target Bullseye)


I hope you were inspired to create some of these snack boards for your kids. Also, check out my blog post February Love Baskets for Kids.
