The toddler box is for ages 2-3. … curated on LTK

This is our second Learning with Kelsey toddler activity box, and Luca was SO excited when he saw this on our porch! It’s filled with pre-made toddler activities - supplies and instructions - so you pretty much always have something to do with your kiddos. It gives them something to look forward to, and it gives you something to do with them without having to plan or prep. As someone who hates clutter, I love that you get just what you need - you’re not left with a bunch of extra craft supplies that you stuff somewhere because you feel bad throwing them away. You can get one-off boxes, or you can sign up for a subscription to save. Click to shop! LTKKids LTKBaby LTKFamily

It’s crazy to think that my boy turns 3 next month! 🥹 Since his birthday is so close to Christmas, I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone and get all of his gifts for both checked off my list now! Lord knows the rest of the year is going to FLY by! 😅 Anyways, I figured I’d share here for those looking for fun, screen free gift ideas for a 3 year old boy or girl. I found these all at Target and they’re super affordable! 🖤

Got lots of questions about our family picture outfits, so I’m linking them here for you all! These would work well for fall family pictures or even Christmas family pictures, which is why we went with this color scheme. If I get to sending out cards this year, these will be the pics we use. 😜

I’m obsessed with this burgundy dress from Baltic Born and can’t get over the details. The kid’s outfits are both from Gap, and Dane’s sweater is actually Amazon.

We’re all in our true sizes. My dress is a maxi length because I’m short (5’1), but I most people it’ll fit midi style. Drop questions in the comments! 🖤

This hair tinsel kit is such a great gift for little girls - and it’s low clutter! 🙌🏼 I saw it today while doing some early Christmas shopping and had to share. It’s only $12 today! 🙌🏼 Click to shop.

I splurged on this Evereve ribbed tank back in April, and I can honestly say I’ve worn it at least every other week since then! It’s double layered, well made, super flattering, and can be worn with a regular bra (I’m not a strapless girly😅). It has washed very well, too. Definitely a splurge, but worth it IMO for a classic top I know I’ll use for years. Linking here along with the rest of my look! 🖤

This one’s for parents looking to baby proof or child proof their home! 🏠 We’ve tried lots of child proofing gadgets the past 2 years, and these have been the best for us! Our nearly 3 year old son still can’t undo them, although he’s made it very clear he knows how they work, lol.

I know there are different types of doorknobs and such, but I just wanted to highlight our tried and true products in this post. If you need help childproofing a specific area of your home, just DM! I’m more than happy to help and send recs used by my friends and fam!

I’ve linked everything here including a gate we own that’s not shown. We had to buy two different types for two different spaces.

I got sick of the small organizers in our junk drawer and bathroom drawers constantly shifting, so I searched for a solution and stumbled upon this! 👏🏼 Technically it’s designed to keep knick knacks on shelves and tables during an earthquake, but it works perfectly for this too!

🚨 FYI: I ended up putting a large glob of this stuff in the middle of each of my bins. There was a bit of trial and error involved to figure out the right size. You can also put smaller globs on all 4 corners. Just be sure to press down into the drawer for a solid 30 seconds, and note that it can take up to 24 hours for the gel to fully grip.

Here’s a cleaning tip for a clean garbage can - equal parts simple green and water works wonders!! Use an extendable brush, like a Clorox brush, so you can reach all the nooks and crannies. You’ll garbage cans will smell good and look great. Click to shop!

Here’s a nursery storage tip for you - if you’re going to buy a diaper caddy, get one with dividers on the inside and pockets on the outside! It allows you to separate big items and little items, so you can find things faster and put them away more quickly. It also keeps the bin from becoming cluttered when you’re in a hurry.

I found this trapezoid bin on Amazon and I love it for storing little blankets, toys, towels, etc. in Wesley’s room. Organizing closets with wire shelving can be tough, but these help to contain items and ensure things do not fall through the cracks. These would be great for clothing, too, so the lines from the wire shelving do not embed into them.

Spend a ton of time in the car running to activities? Never know how to entertain your kiddos at a restaurant without a screen? These acrylic games from Etsy are the perfect solution! I love that they’re compact, low clutter, reusable, and they come with everything you need to take them on the go (bag, marker, and eraser). Click to shop! 👏🏼

#LTKFamily #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKKids

Here’s a nursery storage idea straight from Wesley’s closet: clear stacked drawers! I bought these at Target and they’re super sturdy. I love that they’re clear so we can easily see what’s inside and find things. We use them for her basic onesies, jeans, leggings, headbands, and shoes. Things that are not worthy of hanger space.

I’ve shared this nursery organization idea before, but ICYMI we love these over the door organizers for the kids outfit planning. Every Sunday I put the outfits for the week ahead in the coordinating cubby. Planning makes sure we keep up with laundry (it all has to be done by Sunday!), and it makes the morning routine run a bit more smoothly. Highly recommend, mamas! Click to shop!

We’ve tried several baby hangers, and so far we like these adjustable baby hangers from Amazon best! They actually grow with your child - so you can stretch them to fit toddler clothes and even adult clothes. They also have a hook on the front, so you can stack them and save space. Click to shop!

FINALLY found a cozy pajama set that feels just like my favorite pajamas from Abercrombie. I’ve been searching like 5 years, no joke! These are from Gap and they come in other colors and prints. Petite sizing is also available. I got a size small top and size small petite bottom, which is true to size for me. Click to shop and see all the different colors and prints! Some are on sale today.

This is your reminder to clean your garbage cans before summer ends! Especially if you live in a colder climate like me. It’s a stinky job, but a satisfying one! 😅🙃

FYI: You’re supposed to use an equal parts mixture of Simple Green and water for this. I was eyeballing it and ended up using a little extra water and it still worked. All the gunk lifted great!

How to Clean Your Garbage Can:
1. Initial rinse of the inside
2. Scrub inside sides + rinse
3. Turn sideways + drain
4. Scrub bottom, inside lid, + anything on sides that didn’t initially come off
5. Rinse inside + flip upside down
6. Scrub outside sides + lid
7. Rinse + air dry

Halloween pajama season activated! 🧡 One thing about me is that I will be festive pajamas, like these bat pajamas, for every holiday. But we will USE them! 👏🏼 I have a feeling these are going to be heavily requested. ☺️ PS: They come in toddler and infant sizes!! We bought them for Wesley, too, so they could have matching Halloween pajamas.

It took me nearly 6 years to find a floor cleaner that actually made my hardwood floors feel clean. Turns out, I was looking in the wrong aisle! 😅

I stumbled upon these multi-purpose floor cleaners by Bissell when I was roaming around Target earlier this year. They were over by the wet/dry vacs, because technically that’s what they’re for. BUT turns out you don’t HAVE to have a wet/dry vac to use them. You can use them with a good old fashioned mop and bucket! Who knew? I didn’t, lol! 🙃

Obviously, I bought and love, so I had to share this little cleaning hack in case y’all didn’t know. 👏🏼

If your floors just never feel completely clean, give one of these a try. We’ve tried so many options over the years, and both @dane25z and I agree they’re the best we’ve tried yet.

PS: There are two types, regular and natural. I’ve tried both with just a mop and bucket, and they’re both equally effective. I’ve tested on both sealed hardwood and ceramic tile, too.

PPS: Yes, I did eventually cave and buy one of the Bissell wet/dry vacs as I’ve shared. But the machine *is not* necessary for achieving clean floors. It does help, though, and it cut the time I spend cleaning my floors in half (at least!).

Decluttering kids’ clothes can be super emotional. 🥹 But even if you plan on having more kids, the chance of the season, gender, and sizing all aligning is so slim.

That said, I highly recommend just keeping some gender neutral newborn/infant items (like sleepers and onesies) and passing on the rest. These items can likely be used, at least for a little bit, no matter what season your baby is born in.

To make getting rid of these items a bit easier and systematic (helps to take the emotion out of it), this is what I do! Watch the video in full, and drop any questions you have in the comments. I’m happy to help. ☺️

What’s an organization idea you’ve seen that you can’t fully get behind?! For me it’s these memory boxes! But only because the ones I’ve seen are not designed to keep the valuables inside safe! So if you’re going to make these, know that they ARE a great idea. BUT consider opting for a file box that’s fireproof 🔥 and ideally waterproof 💧!

There are so many benefits to outfit planning, but these are my top ones!

1️⃣ Everyone is on the same page, so anyone can help get the kids appropriately dressed for what the day has in store. And they can do so quickly.

2️⃣ You’re forced to stay on top of laundry during the week, so everything can be ready to go on Sunday by outfit planning time. And if you don’t, when you go to plan you’ll be quickly reminded that you have to throw on a few loads. Better to know then than to find out on a busy weekday morning.

3️⃣ Instead of having to think through outfits 7 times, you only have to think through them once! With everything on our mama minds at all times, it’s nice to have one less thing to worry about 6 days a week.

Over the charging cord chaos?! SAME! 🙃 This corner of our kitchen counter has become the unofficial charging station for all of our devices, and I honestly don’t mind other than the mess of cords that’s constantly sitting there.

Enter these 3-in-1, retractable charging cords - what a simple, effective solution. 👏🏼 They can charge USB-C, Lightning, and Micro USB devices while keeping charging areas neat and tidy. They’re great for cars and travel, too!

My New Balance 550 sneakers are on sale for $72 right now! They have memory foam inserts and are SO comfy. I got my true size, a size 6, and they fit perfectly. Excited to style these so many ways. The color scheme is so versatile.

This Amazon athleisure set is buttery soft and SO comfortable! And it’s under $75 TOTAL. 🤯 The oversized crewneck sweatshirt fits perfectly oversized in my opinion, and I got it in my true size small. I sized up to a medium in the drawstring shorts because I wanted them to have more of an oversized look. The small just fit too perfectly on me (I’m curvier in the hip area). I figured I could always pull them tighter on the waist, which I did. Anyways, I’m wearing the charcoal color, but there are so many pretty options - it was hard to choose! Click to shop this full look, including my New Balance 550 sneakers which are currently on sale for $72!

Saw this wet dry vacuum on sale at Target, so I finally snagged it! It’s a 3-in-1 floor cleaner, so you can vacuum, mop, and steam/sanitize all at the same time!! Plus you can use it on hard floors AND area rugs. With little kids, my floors need cleaned so often, and this makes the process SOOOO much easier and less time consuming. I read the instructions throughly, and it worked like a charm on my first go-around. I even did my area rug that Wesley is constantly spitting up on and it looks and smells so fresh and clean! This is only on sale for Target Circle Week, and I’ve already been notified it’s low in stock. Click to shop before they’re all gone!
