I Made a DIY Play Tunnel From Laundry Baskets

I finally cut the bottoms out of our old college laundry baskets so Clark could use them as a tunnel. He LOVED them. Mostly as chimneys to climb in and out of and pop his head out of :) I think I might have to attach them to emphasize the tunnel. As you can see, he also loved putting toys inside them.

Our Experience Foregoing the Swaddle

 A lot of Montessori parents avoid swaddling their newborns in the name of allowing freedom of movement. This idea makes me incredibly nervous but I have been trying it and it hasn’t been too bad. I do use white noise liberally however, and that does work wonders. I see Howie calm immediately when I put it on. I also feel like he doesn’t startle as easily as Clark did. I kept Clark swaddled even when he wasn’t sleeping. I also want to get one of those Nested Bean Zen sacks and try it out because Howie is getting more restless as he is no longer a sleepy newborn.

A play enclosure covered with vines This photo and instructions are from  bettyhallphotography.com 3. 4 Cozy Coupe Cars for the cousins to play traffic 4. Water Table I actually just found this water table at the thrift store last week! Yes! 5. A Simple Mud Kitchen that doesn’t require any tools tools to make Above is one from rhubarbandwrenh.co.uk And here is one from KC Davis on TikTok 6. A Slide big enough for adults to use I haven’t found anywhere to buy one so for now I’m just putting this picture of a really big one that I took in a park.

Eco-Minimalist, Useful Bulk Stocking Stuffers for Adults for $1-$7 Each

(No affiliate links) Many of us moms need to buy stocking stuffers not only for children, but for adults as well, at least for ourselves and/or our partners, if not others. This year my mom asked her adult children to help out with stocking stuffers for everyone. I had a lot of fun finding inexpensive, quality and useful stocking stuffers that I could buy in bulk for my siblings and parents! I had fun thinking of things that almost any adult would find to be a helpful addition to their life. These are gift ideas that work for anyone. They are generic, yet meaningful in their usefulness. I thought I might as well share the fun with all of you and make double use of the time spent. I can save other moms some time! I only bought a couple of these things, but I thought of a lot of ideas. These are real, useful things that happen to be so small that you can buy a lot for not much money. I also tried to find things that are eco friendly because they make other things last longer or keep you ...
