It is one of my favourite things to do; designing and putting together kid's rooms! Always make it super accessible to them, make it fun and get them involved! Don't be afraid to use colour and messes are not a "bad thing"!!

What item should moms splurge on?

island girl

It really depends on what is important to her...what is the value of it to her... A Kindle Fire, running shoes, a dvd movie, makeup, is she a foodie? perhaps a special kichen gadget (or fabulous pan). So, moms need to ask themselves...what is FUN for me? What do I get the most enjoyment out of???

Pots and Pans! No need to spend any money for hours and hours of FUN!! For toddlers, get out the pots, pans, wooden spoons, pastry roller (this is great fun) and don't forget the colander! Get the camera and watch them have fun. If the kiddos are older...COOK, teach them to cook simple, healthy but fun recipes! Make ice lollies! You will teach them something that affects their health and wonderful appropriate independence! Enjoy!
