Lego Storage Solution

If your household has a love/hate relationship with Legos, consider investing in a storage cart with drawers.

Use one for the playroom to keep Legos neatly organized.

For hassle-free playtime, let the kids build on a sheet or blanket; this makes clean-up a breeze.

Plus, designate a spot for displaying their Lego masterpieces—like shelving in their rooms.

“My 18 month old and I read for about an hour every day, between naptime, bedtime, and random books he brings me! We looked at baby books together since he was 4 months old, so we both love that time together!”

That’s the sweetest routine—there’s just something so cozy about snuggling up with books, especially when it’s been your thing since he was tiny! - Danielle 😊
