Here are some of my top recommendations for toys for kids aged 2-10 ( or maybe a little older depending on your kids interests). My kids are 10, 8, 2, and 6 months so I'm basing my recommendations off their wants this year. Happy shopping!

I've covered all the basics using the white and black checkered race car flag as the main theme with elements of red, green and yellow for traffic lights mixed in. On your mark, get set, GO!

My baby was born in January 2025🩷 These are the things I used ALL THE TIME during her first year!

Our go-to sensory play essentials! These open-ended tools encourage curiosity, strengthen fine motor skills, and make playtime fun and purposeful. Great for kids who love to explore, scoop, pour, and create!

The best teacher appreciation gifts are heartfelt and practical, and generally fall into one of two categories: something that can be used in the classroom to enhance students’ experiences, or something that expresses gratitude for a job well done. And don’t underestimate the power of a note of thanks paired with cash in the form of a gift card. After all, teachers often spend their own money on supplies for their classrooms, and there’s a limit to the number of coffee mugs or candles one person can use. Our advice: Avoid items that a teacher may already own or things that are over-the-top expensive, which can fall into an against-school-policy gray area unless you pool resources from multiple parents or families.

With such a wide variety of baby items, it can be hard to choose what to buy. Here is a list from a first-time mom of items I love that have made parenting easier!

Transform your car for spooky season. With being a working mom, I want to make my kids holidays as magical as possible with ease

My top recommendation for Disney with young kids. Park days are long and can be hard with littles, here are some practical things to help keep the magic alive on those long days.

Tired of kids spending countless hours on the screen? These board games can engage the whole family and help get the kids off the screens and interacting with the family. We love these games for their simplicity but can be fun for all ages.

Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on. I can’t wait for her to get her own and girly tonies 🥹 so worth the investment 🫶🏼

Every baby is different, and every baby is going to love or hate something. These are somethings we found that worked for us. Some of these were suggestions from people, others we were what we stumbled upon, some we were gifted. Babies are so unique and their needs will also be that way, thats the beauty in them

The must-have items that have made my journey as a new mom so much easier and enjoyable.

As a first-time mom, I’ve done my fair share of research (and plenty of trial and error!). 💕 I’m excited to share my go-to favorites that truly make a difference. With so many products out there, I prioritize quality, convenience, and effectiveness!

After living in the Twin Cities for over a decade—five of those as a parent and many before as a teacher—I’ve explored a lot of kid-friendly spots. From cozy coffee shops with play areas to massive playgrounds and hands-on museums, this area is packed with places where kids can burn off energy while parents actually enjoy themselves too. Some spots are perfect for a low-key morning with little ones, while others make for full-blown adventures that even older kids will love. I’ve been on both sides—coordinating field trips as a teacher and now chasing my own kids around—and I’m still finding new gems all the time! What I love most is how many different kinds of outings are possible here. There are spots where kids can climb, run, and explore freely, places designed to spark creativity and curiosity, and even restaurants and breweries that actually welcome families instead of just tolerating them. Whether you’re looking for an easy weekday outing, an indoor option for winter, or a way to make errands more fun, this list is packed with places that make parenting a little easier—and a lot more fun!
