Back To School Favorites

August 31, 2021 by ashadmin No Comments

I can’t believe it’s the last day of August! This time of year always feels like we’re turning the corner into fall and the holiday season… it goes by so fast! My kids started school last week. It’s so nice to get into a routine again. Today I want to share my must-haves for preschoolers going back to school.

Clothes:

We keep it casual and comfortable. Most days Crosby wants to wear dresses and we stick to easy cotton ones she can play in/get dirty. I also love matching sets for her, Old navy always has cute options.

Wilder wears a t-shirt and shorts everyday.

Both kids love Native shoes – a few of our favorite pairs: here and here. I also have this pair of sneakers for Crosby that looks a lot like Golden Goose + these cute leopard converse. She has these ruffle socks to wear with sneakers. I love Vans shoes as well, Wilder has this pair.

Backpacks/lunch boxes:

I love Pottery Barn Kids for backpacks, they have a huge variety and monogram them. Crosby has this pink and white striped one and Wilder has the blue and green striped version.

Wilder doesn’t eat lunch at school but Crosby does. I use this bentgo box and lunch bag and both kids have contigo water bottles.

Misc:

I got Crosby this rainbow beaded mask lanyard and so far we like Cat and Jack’s pleated masks from Target best. They’re sold out online, hopefully they get more soon. I purchased the digital download for these pendant flags for their first day of school pictures. It was an easy DIY with ribbon and a wooden dowel.

Last Minute Easter Basket Ideas

March 31, 2021 by ashadmin No Comments

This is really the first year I’ve planned Easter baskets for the kids. I remember last year during the start of the pandemic all stores were closed and everything was in such a high demand hardly anything was even shipping. I’m not sure what I put in their baskets, but I’m also confident they’ll never remember. It really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. I wanted to share some last minute Easter basket ideas that will be here before Sunday if you’re scrambling.

Native shoes – these are my favorite summer shoes for toddlers… especially boys. They’re waterproof and basically indestructible.

Toddler boys cute swim trunks – these come in so many different prints/colors. I struggle to find swimsuits for Wilder that aren’t massive… love the length on these.

Cute sunglases – I ordered a 3 pack of these and these daisy beads and made a cute pair for Crosby’s basket. Planning to make the other 2 for her friends birthdays coming up. I think these are cute for little boys.

Color wonder mess free coloring – both kids love these and I love them because they can’t get anything messy… ie I don’t have to stand over their shoulders while they color.

Water bottles/snack cups – a hot item in our house that we’re always replacing and would be cute in a basket.

Bubbles – I got them wands like these, but bubble guns and bubble machines are always a win.

Hair bows – I put a pack of new clips with bows in Crosby’s.

Toddler/Baby 14 Month Favorites

June 23, 2020 by ashadmin No Comments

It seems like just yesterday Wilder was born and I was trying to navigate a toddler and a newborn. Now I’m juggling two toddlers and time is seriously flying. Wilder is 14 months old, but honestly he seems like more of a baby than a toddler. Maybe it’s because he’s the youngest, but I’m not really in a hurry for him to grow up. Today I want to share our favorite toys and things at this age.

Learning Walker – we got this when Crosby was a baby but really didn’t use it that much. All kids are different and since Wilder isn’t walking on his own yet, this has gotten a TON of use, it’s probably his most used toy. He can run with it and can navigate it so well.

Push Car – up until recently this was my favorite way to keep Wilder contained in our backyard. He was perfectly content with being pushed around in it for so long, which was nice for me to have while chasing after Crosby too.

Cozy Coupe Car – this is now Wilder’s favorite car to play with in our backyard. He absolutely loves pushing it around and basically uses it as a walker. Crosby loves to ride in it so it’s a nice way for them to collaborate and play together – she rides, he pushes.

Water Table – this was one of Wilder’s birthday gifts and it’s been used almost every day since April. Both kids love playing with it – Crosby uses it as a baby doll bath and Wilder has so much fun splashing in it. It’s such a great toy for toddlers of all ages.

Mini Scooter – this is another hand-me-down from Crosby that Wilder is just started to get into. It’s the perfect tiny learning scooter that has a seat they can sit on when they’re first using it. Eventually the seat comes off and they can scoot on it.

Ride On Car – another toddler favorite, these cars are a great size and perfect for the baby to toddler transition.

Clothing 

I love little boys in basics; t-shirts and cotton shorts are pretty much what Wilder wears every day. Here are my favorites:

T-shirts – Target has the best selection (and prices). Wilder has so many of these.

Shorts – we have a lot from Target and Old Navy.

Pajamas – I love Burts Bees baby pjs. These two piece sets are perfect for toddlers.

Native Shoes – the perfect toddler boy shoe; indestructible, water proof and protect their feet if they’re still crawling. I’ve found them to run a little small and would recommend sizing up.
