When preparing for your baby's arrival, creating a well-stocked and organized changing table is essential for smooth and stress-free diaper changes. In this post, part of our Nesting Series, we’ll be covering all the must-have items for a changing table, with a twist—since we're keeping ours in the bathroom, we'll also include some baby bathing essentials and medications that will come in handy. If your changing table is in the baby's bedroom, feel free to adjust the list to suit your needs, but we hope this gives you some ideas on how to create a convenient, functional space for your little one.

After moving into our home five years ago, our dining room quickly and naturally turned into the craft room. So many memories and so much creativity being made in there on the daily. I love how my wooden farm table has paint splattered on it. These are some of the things we currently have or have used in there and really enjoyed or was really useful. I highly recommend a designated craft area for your kids without worrying about things possibly getting painted on or some marker or glue. Things can always be replaced, but the memories and fun will last forever!

Here are my top picks for educational shows and channels for toddlers, available on YouTube, Prime, and Netflix. These recommendations are based on what has worked best for me and my daughter, but there are always other great options out there too. Comment below to add your two cents. My primary focus was to help her develop speech, phonemic awareness, and counting skills. I've organized the sections from 18 months to 3 years old, as I believe it's important not to overstimulate kids with TV before 18 months.

A space where creativity is messy, mistakes are welcome, and imagination gets to run wild. From bold colors to simple tools, it’s not about perfection—it’s about expression, confidence, and letting kids create freely 💛🖌️

Back-to-school season sneaks up on me every single year, so I built the one list I wish I'd had: 100 finds that knock out the whole checklist in one sitting, organized in the order you actually shop it. Backpacks is the biggest section and the right place to start, because it is the decision everything else gets sized around. It runs from the Simple Modern Disney toddler and kids packs — Mickey, Cars, Buzz and Woody, Princess — for the preschool and early-elementary crowd, through the BIOWORLD Lilo & Stitch and Moana Tropica five-piece sets that arrive with the lunch bag and pencil case already matched, up to real laptop-carrying packs for middle and high school: the LOVEVOOK teen styles that fit a 15.6-inch laptop, the OKKID middle-school pack, and a Swissdigital with a built-in USB port for the kid who runs their phone dead by lunch. There are sport-themed 17- and 18-inch packs for boys and GeeWin four-piece sets if you would rather buy the whole kit in one order than hunt for a matching lunch box later. Lunchboxes and Bottles is the section where leakproof matters more than the print, which is why the Bentgo five-compartment boxes are the backbone of it, including the Bluey and unicorn versions kids actually ask for. Alongside them are bento sets that come with a thermos and utensils, which is the answer for a kid who will not eat another cold sandwich. School Supplies is the boring section that saves the most money, because it is where the bulk buys live — the 100-packs of retractable ballpoint pens and the rest of the classroom list you will be asked for twice before October. Organization and Desk covers the locker and the homework spot at home, which is the part that decides whether the supplies survive past September. Study and Tech Gear is the short last section for the upper grades. There is something here for every stage from kindergarten through college move-in, and most picks are budget-friendly enough to stock up for more than one kid. Made for parents shopping two or three kids at once, anyone replacing a backpack that did not survive last year, teachers stocking a classroom, or a first-time kindergarten parent staring at a supply list that makes no sense. If you are searching for kids backpacks, a leakproof lunch box, school supplies in bulk, locker organization, or a teen laptop backpack on Amazon, start here. Save it before the supply-list emails start rolling in, because the character backpacks and the popular lunch box colors are the first things to sell through in August.
