A Minimalist Approach to Toy Clutter

By Tiffany 22 Comments

How many times have you been frustrated with your child for allowing their toys to be strewn all over the household? How many times have you found your child’s toys in your way when you were in a hurry or trying to accomplish some household task? How many times this month have you had to argue with a child about the disaster area that is their bedroom? Toy clutter is a big problem in the typical American household.

Greener Christmas Ornaments

By Tiffany 1 Comment

Most of the ornaments you see in big box stores are made of plastic. The shelf life of plastic (uh, forever) makes it a poor choice for those who want to keep the holidays green. Plus there is just something so cold and unholiday-like about plastic.

TV is encouraging a sedentary lifestyle that is seeing our kids developing habits that foster obesity.
