Personalize Your Baby's Nursery with Kraftmatics Design No-Stress Decals! #DIY

Designing our baby's nursery has been such a special time for our family, but I will be the first to admit I don't have the creative touch. When it comes to home decorating, I hunt for manageable, beginner level DIY projects with an upscale look and Kraftmatics Design had exactly that. We chose an adorable large decal that matched our jungle theme and even allowed us to customize it with our son's name. The entire process took no longer than twenty minutes and it makes the whole room feel cozy and inviting. We have received so many compliments on it and few of our friends even thought we had it professionally done! At such an affordable price and incredibly easy application, we highly recommend Kraftmatics Design.

Gear Up for Fun in the Sun with Green Sprouts! #sunprotection #kidsswimwear #naturalbabyproducts

School is ending and summer plans are in full swing! As you get ready to take the kids out for long days in the sun, the proper protection is crucial. Whether we're hanging out at the pool or making a day of it at the beach, rashguards are a must for everyone in our family. I turned to Green Sprouts this season for high quality swimsuits for our little ones. If you aren't familiar, I highly recommend their kids' collection for the UPF 50+ protection, quick dry material, seams that are designed for extra comfort and, most especially, how easy they are to get on and off throughout the day. They have a wide selection of pieces to order as a set or mix and match with the full collection of i play® by green sprouts® swim and sun wear. I chose the Navy Aqua Color Block Pocket Trunks with Built-in Reusable Absorbent Swim Diaper and Long Sleeve Zip Rashguard Shirt and am really impressed!

How to Introduce Cultural Diversity and Embrace Inclusivity in the Early Years #MinilandEducational #multiculturaltoys

Instilling inclusivity in your children is best started from birth. The books we read, toys we choose, shows we watch and songs we sing can all have a deep, subconscious effect on the ideals our kids develop and cultivate as they grow. Often times, families instinctively select toys, books and shows that reflect the physical traits and culture found within the walls of their own home. While there's certainly nothing wrong with that, expanding your collection to include a wide variety of races and ethnicities is an easy way to teach children about differences and begin laying the foundation for acceptance and inclusivity. As we provide toy recommendations throughout the month, we're starting with one of our top picks, the Miniland Family Diversity Block set. Check it out below!
