and we're nailin' it!
Over the last few years, we have tried out lots of fun toys and activities for summer. Here are our current favorites: Water Tables: This is the one Lu has. And Brooks has this one! They both spend a lot of time playing with these. We even bring Lucian’s into our shower for the winter! […]

Now that we’ve had Brooks it’s even more fun exploring and finding new places to go with him, seeing and experiencing it all through his eyes! Some of our favorites […]
This idea came about because Brooks LOVES the Tic Tac Toe spinners at the playgrounds that have them in their tot lots around us! I wanted to do a spin on the original and do something different than the Xs and Os, so I went with two of Brooks’ favorite things right now: dogs and […]
