my little corner of organized crafty chaos
I wanted to find a way to help make the newborn haze a little simpler, enter my big sibling busy basket! Full of ideas to help your big kid feel special and loved, and to keep their big hands busy while you are busy with little hands!
Books are quite possibly my favorite resource for teaching kids about the world around them and welcoming a new baby to the family is no different! We have found a bunch of big sister books that cover everything from pregnancy to what it’s going to be like to have a tiny baby in the house to what becoming a big sister will actually look like.
I am a Type A kinda lady, but also a bit of a collector…so organization is kinda a big deal for me. Our toy storage for our out or rotation toys is one area of my life that has had to evolve over time, but I definitely have a few items that are my tried and true tools for keeping our toy storage organized!
I have two widely active kids running around my living room every day all day, it just makes more sense to have a living room playroom that suits all our needs!
When I say my toddler reads these board books on repeat I should clarify, that I read them on repeat at her request, which is a lot. The best thing about these board books though is that they are so much fun to read or feature such beautiful art that you won’t mind rereading even if it is the sixth time this morning…
We have been through our fair share of Preschool Space Books. Bitty has been obsessed for months now and we check them out on the regular, not just for homeschool. So I feel like I have a few solid recommendations for preschool space books your little astronaut is going to adore!
As I was getting ready to start our homeschool journey last year I was glad that we had a fairly robust collection of preschool and homeschool supplies already in our closet, but it got me wondering…what are we missing?!!
Ah the dreaded end of nap time…but it doesn’t have to be dreaded!!! Enter quiet time and the magic of quiet time bins!
