5 Gifts You Need to Get Your Toddler This Christmas

Day 3 of Blogmas 2019! That’s right. I plan on posting every day (or at least trying to) until Christmas like I did last year. I have a ton of fun Christmas content for you guys and I’m pumped that you’re here. I love this little community. I can’t believe I started this journey over a year ago! Now settle in for a quick list of 5 gifts you need to get your toddler this Christmas!

DIY Toy Box – Tons of Storage!

Heidi-ho, Neighbor! (Anyone else watch old re-runs of Home Improvement and miss the 90s?).

I haven’t had time to build anything in a while to share with you guys. I’ve been helping my mom redo her kitchen, taking a little break from blogging, Isla had a health scare in April and I haven’t felt like writing anything, if i’m being honest. But I thought I’d tell you about Isla’s toy box that I built for her first birthday! This DIY Toy Box offers tons of storage, which makes cleaning her room a breeze!

She turned one in October and I really needed a practical way to store her toys and books. We were having to get creative and stuff toys all over the place to put them away.

I had been wanting to build her a toy box but I knew it would have to have a built in bookshelf as well as storage for bigger items. I have been following Ana White for years and I had seen these plans before.

The Little Free Library

I’ve been rambling in this little slice of the internet for a little over 2 months now. It is a blast. I love all the lovely comments and social media support from everyone. I have readers in 41 countries so far! Thank you to each and every one of you.

I know this blog is kind of all over the place. I have several topics that I write about but thanks for sticking around. It means so much. I have goals set for myself and this blog and I’m well on my way to meeting them, thanks to you guys. Be sure and subscribe -> Over there, if you haven’t yet.

Today I’m here to tell you about a little project that I helped with a couple of weeks ago.

Christmas Books to Read to your Toddler

Isla Rose LOVES books. Not as much as she loves pushing the buttons on the remote control but we’re working on it. She loves to sit and pretend to read. It’s the cutest thing ever. She will come sit in our lap with a book before bed time and we read to her most nights. Her all time favorite is Goodnight Moon and my husband has it memorized and it’s pretty much falling apart. A tell tale sign of a well loved book.
