Magnetic Chess Set

Charlie and I play chess almost every morning at breakfast, but the magnetic aspect makes easy to move if we don't finish. Would be great for parents, too!

Beat the clock stopwatch set

We bought this “stopwatch challenge” game when the kids were little – and it devoured HOURS. It’s fun, physical challenges around your house, timed.

The Murdle Riddle Book

A great screen free alternative that still feels like a risky game. Charlie LOVED this (and was way better than me - its hard, TBH).

Triangle Activity Center

Both our kids loved activity gyms or blocks (for multiple years). Definitely good for toddlers, too. Busy boards are GREAT.

Glow in the Dark Tape

We love playing Mission Impossible with this around the house! SO FUN, TRUST ME.

Loveys For Babies

Both of our kids were obsessed with these blankies - be prepared for them to have an outsized obsession with this guy and not be able to sleep without it.

Instant Photo Printer

For all the scrapbooks or clip string lights (or for me, too - I LOVE these).

Clip-In Hair Tinsel

Prepare to hear screams of delight.

Walnut Scallop Cutting Board

It's the scalloped edge that does it for me. Very Ballerina Farm (IYKYK)

Original oil painting (this one has sold but there are so many more pieces in her Etsy Shop). I love these colors (and only one!!)

Original Abstract painting

Original painting (sold but the artist has many more). Art is the hardest thing to buy for the home. These pieces are easy to love!
