4 months with our sweet miss Nyah girl & 4 months 4 months with our sweet miss Nyah girl & 4 months with our new couch #sponsored and let me just say you can keep our ex (couch) we love our @thefutonshop organic Modular sofa! Everyone always says the kitchen is the heart of the home but I’m starting to think it’s the couch💁🏽‍♀️. Newborn life has made me realize how much life happens on the couch- the breastfeeding, contact naps, movies, play time, fort building, mom+dad date nights in, working from home…so many hours on this couch snuggling these babies and doing life. 

We got the sofa within days of bringing Nyah home and it was perfect timing because we have been consciously making sustainable swaps to make our home safer for these babes! The Futon Shop is a small family owned business that uses environmentally friendly organic fibers to alleviate any negative health effects! Each piece of furniture is handmade in San Francisco since 1976 with no toxic chemicals or hazardous substances. 

So aside from being non-toxic, locally made, & family owned it is perfect for families!! Each cushion is removable so the kids use then to build forts and all sorts of creative play, each cushion cover is removable so I can wash everything EASILY🙌🏽🙌🏽, and it is modular so you can arrange it easily to fit any activity (or if your just like me and you need to rearrange your house every week). Save to say we love our new couch! Check out this amazing small business if you’re in the market for a new couch, mattress, bedding or so much more!  @the_futon_shop 🙌🏽💕

A day in the life The most tedious motherhood tas A day in the life 
The most tedious motherhood task for me was meal clean up-but then I got a wet vac (linked on my Amazon finds) and now it no longer is annoying. I enjoy it. Now it’s the getting called 80 x the first 15 minutes after bedtime😅 crazy how things just rotate. What phase are you in that is your patience pusher?? #motherhood #tedioustasks #somuchfun

5ish years ago I was just a 22 year old who found 5ish years ago I was just a 22 year old who found out I was 5 months pregnant with this sweet little boy. Today we watched our sweet little surprise angel boy graduate preschool and in just a few months he’ll be off to kindergarten!! Life is so wild 🤯 
We have a way of planning out all these things for our life but sometimes while you’re busy making plans life just happens to you. Watching our first baby be the best big brother to his two baby sisters is the best thing ever and I just can’t believe our first baby is about to start a whole new chapter of independence!! We are going to continue to celebrating life’s surprises with our sweetest boy because this sweet boy has literally changed our life and brought us so much immeasurable joy, love and growth over these last 5 years!! We couldn’t be prouder of our sweet, sensitive, curious, evie king!!

DIY Sensory Toys for Babies: Sensory Blocks

This post is all about how to create your own sensory toys for your babies & toddlers, at home, on a budget. These diy sensory blocks will not disappoint.

A Fun & Easy Sensory Toy for Babies

This is one or my favorite and easiest toy DIYs ever. It is so great for babies of all ages and gives them great exposure to different textures during playtime. Blocks are also a great learning tool for babies, to practice stacking & building. They are small and easy to store and cost under 10$ to make & look so cool. This is also fun because it gives you and your child the opportunity to get creative on which textures you choose! So pick something unique that your child enjoys.



Supply List:

1. Wooden Blocks – I got mine from Home Depot. I linked a 50 pack from amazon that is under $15 which is a great deal!

2. Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks – I have had this one for years and love that it comes in a pack!

3. Anything with texture! This is where you get creative. A lot of mine were made up of free flooring samples from Home Depot and the others were just things my child enjoyed playing with around the house like a sponge, leaves, clothes, pompoms, wooden sticks, button from old jeans..and so on (it could be anything that is not dangerous for the baby)

These pictures are just a couple of examples of the variations we put together and then a close up of all the sides of one of the blocks.

The clothing block is one of my son’s favorites it has like a old cut pair of jeans, leather and a t-shirt material. I love this one because of all of the details of the jeans that are so interesting for the babies. It has the whole roughness of the jean, a loop, a button and a zipper to feel.

Some of the other textures we added were pom-poms, hot glue (literally just hot glue- you cannot really tell in the picture but it is cool because they can feel the difference of that and the wood), a sponge, a dish towel, sample of carpet, turf & garage flooring and literally anything you can think of or have around the house! So ultimately you are just paying for the blocks & hot glue/hot glue gun if you don’t already have one, everything else is samples or something you already have it laying around your house!

Hope you and your babies enjoy! Tag us on instagram if you and your babies try this! We would love to see what you come up with!
