In the ongoing effort to keep kids' stuff organized it is easy to focus on boxes and crates so much so that certain things become buried or forgotten. A big part of engaging kids in activities is keeping them fresh in their minds. This obviously presents something of a catch-22. But here is a solution for an art corner that keeps things visible, organized, and toddler-safe to boot. More

Ahoy, me hearties! While we're just a tad late to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day, we're still head over heels for this DIY pirate ship from Kate's Creative Space. More

We're having a bit of a playroom crisis in our home. I adore my daughter's endless creativity and imagination, but her "club house" is overtaking her entire bedroom and morphing into one big pile of mess. Perhaps it's time for me to turn that currently catch-all junk room into an actual functioning playroom, huh? But how to entice her to choose to play elsewhere?
