Everyone is talking about money these days, so why not start that conversation with your kids? Or, better yet, start teaching them about money and how to manage their “income”. The Moonjar Moneybox is a fantastic tool that allows your children to put into practice the money management skills you are trying to teach them. (And let’s face it, some of us could us a little refresher course on this stuff ourselves!) [...]

The beginning of a new school year is such an exciting time, but it does come with its challenges. First of all, the kids are back at school during the day giving you time to relax and enjoy some down time, or leaving you a little lonely, or adding another stop on your commute to work. Whichever state you are in, we hope we can help. We have found some products that we think will help make the transition to back to school a little easier and more fun. Also, we want to remind you of a few things in our archives that will benefit you and your family during this crazy busy time! [...] IKEA’s Trofast line is just so smart. Not only can you pick the size of the frame, you can also pick the size and the color of the plastic bin inserts to match your living space. So you can still go cutesy and colourful if it’s going in your tot’s room, or you can go neutral if it’s going in your living room (the white bins shown above were our personal choice). And since the bins are so affordable, you can buy new ones and swap them out if you feel like a change! The Trofast line also comes with additional pieces so that it can adapt depending on your needs – you can create change tables, drawers, and shelves, or you can just use it as a simple storage unit. One of my favourite features is its mobility – you can just pull out a bin full of toys, move it to a different room, and plunk it on the floor for your kids to play with. And as your kids start to outgrow piles of toys, it can easily be used to store crafting and colouring supplies, school supplies, and books or CD’s. You can easily move it from your living room and put it in their bedroom to make a bookshelf or dresser. It’s just so smart and adaptable! [...] Do you have a million and a half thank you cards to write for baby gifts? Are you suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome (or just don’t have time/energy/interest in loads of writing)? Well, Family Labels can help ease the pain. These made-to-order return address labels are useful and cute to boot! [...] |
