The LO has a new spot! She has her own little nook tucked in our bedroom. It has a mattress on the floor, "Baba" the bear and some books. To complete the space, I decorated the wall behind it with houses using washi tape. Yes! washi tape...

The LO can now enjoy playing with Legos and I am so excited. I love Legos, I think they're one of the best toys ever made. At this time, she can't build yet. She is at the pretend play stage and the model that she has allows her to play with farm animals. I am teaching her to feed the animals, put the animals to sleep and open or close the barn doors. I am also teaching...

It's community helpers month. I set-up the kitchen area as a post office pretend play for the kids. I made a post office sign and a price list. I wrapped a box with blue construction paper to make the the mail box. I made some letters out of carton boxes and even got small boxes from the post offices.

The LO's kitchen got an upgrade. It now has a sink for her to wash her hands. We were at Marshalls and the LO spent 30 minutes washing her hands in a play kitchen. The grandparents wanted to buy her the kitchen but it was way too colorful. We want to buy her the Ikea kitchen when she grows a little taller so it doesn't make sense to buy one now and then buy another one....

Lately, I have been in love with the Scandinavian decor -- clean lines, open spaces, white walls and black accents. Can it be any more be my style? I am all about the neutrals. I shy away from color because it just does not work for me. But Scandinavian? I like. Actually, I LOVE. One of the things I love about Scandinavian design is its simplicity. I love love their...

children concentrate and focus on a tasks. Task boxes are very
structured. They have one goal in mind -- transferring one object from a
container to another container, sorting objects by color or completing a
pattern. They could also be easily made using a shoe box. Though I...

The
story revolves about a mom and her daughter who is about to be married.
The daughter wanted her real dad to walk her down the aisle so she
invited 3 men who were part of her mother's past hoping to find out who
her real dad is. Here is our mandatory selfie in front of the theater prior the show...
Does your toddler get frustrated when playing with a shape a sorter toy? Mine does. Shape sorter toys are great for toddlers. It helps them with their eye hand coordination, pincer and palmar grasps and problem solving skills. Introducing a shape sorter toy is a little bit tricky. The LO is only 16 months and she gets frustrated that she can't fit a shape into a hole. So,...
It is common knowledge among my friends that when I travel, I travel
light. I once traveled with a back pack for a 3 day weekend. Now,
however, that we have a toddler, packing has taken a new meaning. It
now means check in baggage, mixed up clothing and looking for things in a
haystack. On our first family trip, I over packed. Half
of our check in luggage was LO's;...
