5 Things We Love Right Now

Hand-powered food chopper

This is honestly one of my favorite kitchen ‘appliances’. It gets the job done. We’re on our second one in 10 years as we wore the first one out! It’s fun to use. I daresay it’s easy to clean, too! The more you pull, the finer it chops. The best part is I can easily invite my family in – no matter the age – for help with a meal prep task. #momwin Amazon.com

Rabbit hOle

I have been anxiously awaiting the culmination of the Rabbit hOle for years. Our first encounter was a pop-up in Downtown in 2016. My family walked and climbed through The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau and we were enthralled. I can hardly wait to embrace my favorite storybooks in a new way. Plan to get your timed tickets now! You can also win some at KCParent.com! The Rabbit hOle will open March 12, 2024. RabbitHoleKC.org

Mamas and Babies book

In anticipation of my baby sister having a baby I have been reviewing some of our favorite as well as some new children’s stories. This tender book captured my heart as it reflects the fierce love and natural connection between fourteen pairs of animal mothers and their babies. The watercolor renderings are beautiful. Snuggle up and read this to someone you love. Penguin.com

ZipOns Adaptive Pants

With zippers spanning from waist to hem instead of traditional pull-on pant sleeves, befree zipOns make it so kids and parents don’t have to take their shoes off first, or even be standing to zip their pants completely on and off from the sides. We found them to be very fun during basketball season. Great anytime you need to quickly layer up without a place to change! https://befreeco.com

Table Topics      

When we want some help creating more engaging conversation than “How was your day?” we reach for the Table Topics. We have had some lively conversation at the dinner table, in the car, waiting at a restaurant, and more with these handy conversation starters. Highly recommend for game night or relationship building. Amazon.com
