Today I wanted to share something that we set up at our house about a year ago that has been fantastic for us. It’s the IKEA RASKOG Utility Cart, which we have been using to house art supplies. Initially, I ordered two as a nightstands for the boys’ room. It fit perfectly next to Ben’s bed, but just didn’t look right next to Max’s.

You probably have gathered I love books based on the amount of posts… Read more »

And this getaway fits the bill. We love creating shared experiences with our kids. We all benefit and learn from being together. And now that they are a little older, we don’t dread extended time in the car with them anymore. Especially after the Christmas hustle and bustle, we… Read more »
