I know it’s only April but I’m starting to gear up for summer and think about what my little girl crew is going to want to DO all day every day (arts and crafts). We usually swim as much as possible but if I’m being honest there are only so many swimming-with-four-kids-days I can handle each week since they aren’t all able to swim by themselves yet

My girls always really love when I draw them something seasonal to color. They loved a little bunny drawing that was part of a custom coloring page order so I turned that bunny into this free Easter Coloring Page printable! If you need an adorable spring bunny book the one pictured above, Hop, is so perfect! Each page has a single word and takes you through the daily life of a little bunny family

It is not secret that our family adores special dolls and handmade details (remember when I spent 900 hours making the girls all cloth bunny dolls? Each Ellie and Fern doll can have their own personality and their own wardrobe thanks to the cutest simple garments and accessories that can be mixed and matched. Ellie and Fern even had an amazing curly haired doll design and can add things like cochlear implants as a custom addition. That’s so sad really because it’s such a comfort to kids like Grace to see their own unique traits reflected in a special toy or gift.

I personally LOVE picking out the best board books for new parents who are having a book baby shower. However even though I love all of that, selecting the best board books can also bring on some anxiety because you run the risk of giving something the family already owns or has seen or duplicating a book someone else at the shower will bring. I love love love when one author or illustrator has a really special collection of books- baby can become familiar with characters and colors but still have quite a few different stories and ideas to grow into. Christmas Book collection (I’ve got quite a few of my best board books to give for Christmas listed in this post).
