Wishlist Wednesday: Bike Horn Edition

Woo hoo! Froot Loop has finally learned how to ride a bike without training wheels! We told him that he could trick out his new bike with a new horn, license plate, etc. once he learned, and he's picked out a few things! 

Fun Ways to "Help" the Tooth Fairy

Well, we've hit another big step in our parenting (and childhood) journeys: Froot Loop lost his first TWO teeth! The first one came out about a week after he turned 6 1/2 and the second one was exactly 3 weeks after the first. Then, we had our first tooth fairy visits! We decided we didn't want to go the "normal" money route and we have been going with LEGOS instead. Here are a bunch of other ideas y'all can use for the tooth fairy!

Easter Sensory Bin

My kids love sensory bins! I don't make a TON of them, but I do enjoy putting them together for the holidays throughout the year, and then I love watching them discover the things I've put in them when I randomly leave them out for them to find. This one is a springy Easter themed one, and it's been a big hit so far!

I've found a bunch of fun toys and games that can help young kids learn to spell (which also helps them on their reading journey!)
