I have three kids and I can tell you now skip the diaper pail. I toss my diapers into the bathroom garbages right away and if it is a poopie one I tie up the bag and throw it into the outside bin. I hate having dirty diapers in the house the best thing to do is get them out asap.

Homework at our house happens at the kitchen table, not at some cute desk in a bedroom, so this is a station that packs itself up before dinner. Two elementary kids, one who cannot sit still and one who loses every pencil, and this is what finally made the four o'clock hour survivable. Most of it is under fifteen dollars. If you are in Rochester, Springdale, West Fargo, Watertown, or anywhere school just started, start with the cart and the timer.
I switch up my baby’s toys the 1st of every month. I leave out a few big toys (his picklr climbing toy) and he gets 4-6 toys to play with throughout the month. + I change his books out as well. We usually we go to the library and get corresponding books to the toys for that month.
