Quick Fix for Crayon on Walls
Mom Hack
Little Picasso struck again? Don't panic. And don't scrub.
Grab your hairdryer.
Blast the crayon marks with warm air for about 30 seconds. The wax softens up fast. Then wipe it off with a soft cloth. Gone.
Works on colored pencil too.
Bonus tip: If there's a faint stain left behind, dab a tiny bit of baking soda and water on it. Wipe clean. Good as new. 😊
Together with Platoon Kids
Small Patch, Big Personality
Every kid goes through phases.
Right now mine is fully in his "silly goose" era, and I'm not about to fight it. 😄
Platoon Kids has these adorable iron-on patches that let kids wear whatever phase they're in.
Silly Goose.
Little Stinker.
Lion Roar.
You just iron them onto whatever they already own. A hoodie, a jacket, a backpack.
It takes two minutes and suddenly that plain zip-up is the thing they want to wear every single day.
They pair perfectly with the denim jacket too if you want the full look.
Oh, and Beppie just dropped the music video for "Elevator."
It's so fun. Watch it here. 🎶

“We have a travel trailer that we don’t mind traveling 11 hrs away in. And we’ve had so much fun traveling around trying new places and things. This is my first camper and it’s been a fun learning experience.”
Oh I love this! There’s something so special about camper trips where the journey is half the fun, and all those little “learning as you go” moments turn into the stories your kids will talk about forever. -Danielle 😊
