Caboodle Supply Caddies

Kids & Learning

11 Aug

For the last couple of years, I used open shower caddies for our supplies and it worked out pretty great! Easy to access for our homeschool.  However, now that we have a 10 month old who is into everything, I wanted the big girls to have supply caddies that could close up and keep everything out of ...

The coffee bar! If you followed along in my storie The coffee bar! If you followed along in my stories, this was a last-minute change that was only made possible because the original cabinets we ordered were missing a part for installation. When I saw the open space, I knew we needed to install open shelves instead. We brought the backsplash up which was a nice upgrade. I love this little nook so much. No regrets (even though the original cabinets are still sitting in a box in my dining room 😆). More before and afters to come!

Our baby is headed off to preschool in two weeks! Our baby is headed off to preschool in two weeks! She was so excited to get this lunch bag from @parkerkids_co ~ it’s so unique and functional! We chose from dozens of Velcro patches to personalize it (that’s right, they stick straight on and can be moved around!) It’s the perfect size for a bento box and has two straps for a water bottle and to attach to a backpack. What more could we ask for? 

Head to their website to shop for fun and unique kids items, including backpacks!

Chloe turned 10! Ten whole years of being her mom Chloe turned 10! Ten whole years of being her mom and watching her become the person she is 🩷 I can still remember how it felt to have the doctors place her in my arms for the first time, but I never could’ve imagined how fast a decade could go by 🥹

Chloe Elizabeth, you are full of life and always up for a fun adventure (especially if it involves a treat). You are kind and generous to your friends, and have a strong sense of right and wrong, always calling things out when you see them (like whenever you see dogs in dog-free zones 🤣). You’re a great big sis even when you’re exasperated 😄 You are artistic and creative, and I love watching you play the piano and dance on stage. You are sweet and sassy and still love little girl things, but I’m seeing so much maturity in you lately. 

Can’t wait for the next stage with you. I love singing to Taylor Swift and Forrest Frank with you in the car and exchanging jokes and riddles. I’m so lucky to be your mom and have you as a bestie for life 🥰

We still do arts and crafts every week (hello homeschool mom 🙋‍♀️), but I don’t share nearly as much in this space. This was a fun egg carton craft 🥚 ➡️ 🍄 we did recently.

We headed back to the Bay Area this year, but stayed outside the city for the first time. We absolutely loved San Anselmo. We visited Muir Woods, Point Reyes and spent a day in SF and Sauselito for our fav adventures/spots. 
Exploring and enjoying our beautiful state of California never gets old for us 🙌🏻
