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. 🍓☀️

Winter Snack Board Ideas for Kids

My kids are always asking for snacks. I think most moms can relate to their kids constantly asking for snacks throughout the day. Recently, I started creating fun snack boards for my kids and it was a big hit. My kids loved it. Then I started to incorporate a fun activity along with the snack boards. The winter season is here so we’ll be spending a lot of time inside. Here are some fun snack board ideas for kids during the winter months. 


Hot Cocoa and Cookie Bar

My kids love hot cocoa and cookies. So I decided to have them decorate their own gingerbread cookies and then make their own hot cocoa. I bought everything from Target, Tj Maxx, and Walmart.

What You Need

Gingerbread man cookies

Sprinkles

Assortment of marshmallows

Hot cocoa spoons 

Kid friendly mugs

Chocolate spoons 

Peppermint and chocolate stirrer sticks

Sistema containers to store everything 


Cookies and Coloring

I found this winter coloring tablecloth and I knew the kids would love it. Also, I love using coloring tablecloths anytime I do snack boards because that’s an easy activity the kids can do while they eat their snacks. I bought everything from Target and Walmart.

What you Need

Winter themed cookies

Marshmallows

Sprinkles

Crayons

Coloring tablecloth

Sistema containers to store everything 


Fruit Santa Hats

Sometimes I like to add in some healthy snack options for my kids. For the activity my kids made santa hats out of fruit and wrote letters to Santa. I bought everything from Target, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx.

What you need

Strawberries

Bananas

Small marshmallow

Rice krispy treats

Macaroons

Toothpicks

snowflake plates

Letters to santa kit

Marshmallows

White chocolate pretzels


Winter Wonderland Snowmen 

My kids and I love ice cream cake so we created a winter wonderland. The Oreo Ice cream cake from I Love Ice Cream was perfect. For the activity we created marshmallow snowmen and added snow sprinkles to the ice cream cake.

What you Need

Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Big size marshmallows

Toothpicks

Snowflake Sprinkles

Small chocolate kisses

Pretzels
