We live in Oakland, CA, but much of our family is in Rockford, IL. When my daughter turned two, I knew I wanted to celebrate with family. So we packed up, hopped on a plane, and gave ourselves two days execute her little soiree.

Name: Lily (2.5) & Oli (1.5)
Location: Montreal, QC, Canada

We're pregnant with our third child, so we decided to do a quick, affordable re-design to our nursery in anticipation. Our nursery is already home to Lily (2.5) and her brother Oli (1.5), so regardless of the sex of our third baby, it has to be a gender neutral space where everyone's comfortable.  

If your child wants to play doctor (or if you're trying to give them a little career nudge!), you'll probably want to invest in a play doctor's kit. But a doctor's kit can only hold so many tools, so you may want to supplement with some of these cute additions I've rounded up.

Summertime is just around the bend, and my first thought is thank the heavens above! Then, my second thought: what are we doing with our summer? As my daughter grows older - she's the ripe old age of 4 now - I'm realizing we have to think more serously about summer camps and programs. Swim classes? Soccer? Day camp?

For my daughter's first birthday I wanted a simple party that didn't require a lot of food preparation so I could focus on the decorations. I decided on a Milk & Cookies party as a result.

Name: Layla Kate (2 months)
Location: Kansas City

My daughter asked me to design a room for her new daughter using raspberry and linen. Layla’s room is a mix of repurposed vintage furniture, bold fabrics and hand-made details.  

My bathroom is ridiculously tiny. A very pregnant visitor once asked if she could use the bathroom. "You can try." We do have a full bath, but no room to house a baby bathtub. When my son was born 5 years ago and now with my daughter, we made do with other products suited to small homes. Here they are...

Yes, you read that right. Netflix for LEGO. I swear, we must have at least 10,000 Lego in our house. Wait, maybe 20,000. The desire for new sets never ends, but of course, the old sets are still around. Enter Pleygo, where you can rent Lego sets and then return them for new ones. Would you consider it?
