It gives you more space between double hangers and it's a snap (no pun intended!) to use.


Hook-less hangers!

It's such a clever product!





Traveling? Take these little ones with you. They sleep through the night. Promise!

Creating Pockets of Quiet Time.

For parents who stay home with kids full-time, summer can become a longstring of very active, busy days. Create pockets of quiet time at home to cool down and get some rest. Books, movies or just some Play-doh for the kids to squeeze (and release!) can do the trick!

Here are some affordable ideas on where to store your painting, coloring and other materials in a way that is easy for you to reach when you need them.

Also, a suggestion on having an area with materials, games and not "so dangerous to your couch" items, will allow the kids to self-serve when they are looking for something new.

A great idea is to create "quiet time bins". See-through shoe bins with snaps on the side are a great option for getting some "kits" together: building blocks, small play-doh jars and some tools, coloring pages with markers or pencils or a small book and beads to put a bracelet together. Every day bring a new bin out and you have it all solved.

Now, get yourself a lemonade, a magazine and enjoy your summer.

Life can be Simpler!

Create an easy access "quiet time activity" storage unit.
Kids like to practice independence and this is a good way to offer them just that!

Before: an ottoman, coffee-table and extra -seating.

After: All your arts & crafts are tucked away! But at easy reach when is time to use them.

Quiet time with friends!
