FRIDAY INSPIRATION: TREEHOUSES!

The long weekend is nearly here and I can't think of anything better than hangin' with my sweet family all weekend long. While we live an urban life with the beach a block away, I still dream of wild and free days for my kiddos with a backyard tree big enough for a tree house. Totally inspired by these beauties!

1. The most incredible treehouse in the most incredible tree in Tuscany, Italy.

2. A simple and beautiful boho hangout perfect for sunny day dreaming.

3. Love this one! An adventure just to climb into it!

4. A slide, a sandbox and a climbing wall make this all-day-fun for little kids.

5. Absolutely unreal!!! Forget about letting the kids have the house; I think I'd take it for myself!

6. Love how amazing this one is while still being achievable. The twirly slide is the perfect accessory.

While our kids enjoy lazy afternoons in their playhouse, I'll be dreaming of a vineyard in Italy with a treehouse overlooking it (#1). Which one is your favourite?

Have a great weekend everyone!

8 OF THE BEST PLAY KITCHENS FOR TODDLERS

Purchasing a play kitchen almost feels like a parenting rite of passage. It’s the one toy set you’re guaranteed to find in nearly every home with a toddler, and it’s not without good reason. Play kitchens deliver a perfect outlet for imaginative play, and of course, there’s nothing more adorable than kiddos “cooking” up dinner alongside Mom and Dad.

But before you secretly cringe at the idea of adding another toy set into your thoughtfully designed home, rest assured that play kitchens don’t have to be a total eyesore. In fact, I’ve searched the web and rounded up nine pint-sized kitchens you’ll actually want to show off in any part of your home.

One. | Leave it to Milton & Goose to bridge the gap between style and function with the cutest kitchen featuring all the bells and whistles. Not only is it made from eco-friendly woods, but this kitchen includes a miniature farmhouse sink and a magnetic chalkboard for your little’s weekly menus. 

Two. | Any style-conscious parents will be envious of their little one’s kitchen with this Kid Craft beauty. With its' simple white design, you’ll have the perfect backdrop to add in pops of color through fun accessories like this added shelf pictured below.

Three. | Fit for a little gourmand, this toddler kitchen boasts warm grey cabinetry and gold hardware. The gas switch is rotatable and I love that there is a little clock for kids to learn how to tell time!

Four. | With a solid maple build, the Hape play kitchen is bound to become your toddler's most loved toy. Well made and with a roll out cart, this is a buy that will be past on down the years.

Five. | Tiny chefs rejoice! This retro play kitchen includes a refrigerator, microwave, oven, and sink so kiddos will stay busy with endless hours of pretend. Take your pick from six different colors to match your home’s aesthetic and let the fun begin. 

Six. | Perfectly neutral and with a warm wood tone to match, this West Elm x Pottery Barn play kitchen has you covered. The fridge provides good storage and the little stove top is an addition your little one is sure to love.

Seven. | Keep things sweet and simple with this handcrafted kitchen featuring a detachable sink and faucets and ample toy storage below. You’ll be able to tuck away any play food, pots, or pans for easy cleanup post-play.

Eight. | The ultimate in mid-mod style, this mini kitchen from Scandiborn packs awesome play features into a compact size. Kids will love cooking and baking through active play, while parents will love the eye-catching (and total space-saving!) design.

3. The countdown to school summer break is on at our house (6 weeks!) and I am starting to gather ideas for some fun ways to whittle away the ideas. Do you make a bucket list for summer vacation with your kiddos?

4. I came across this beautiful kaftan for kids and can't get enough. Isn't it gorgeous?

5. This renovation of a 70's airstream is blowing my mind!!! I've dreamt of a caravan for the kids venturing to beautiful spots to explore but this is next level!

OH MONDAY!

1. The weekend flew by! We stayed home, felt the sun warm our faces, watched the Vancouver marathon, hung out with friends and let the kids run amok most of the time. It was wonderful!

2. I've been dying to get our kids a hanging chair. I grew up with one in our house and have vivid memories of whittling away summer afternoons swinging in it. The window view in this dreamy girls room is all sorts of beautiful and that chair is the icing on the cake.

3. Speaking of hanging chairs, these are my three top runners.

4. Keeping life (and our kids toys) organized is a constant battle. I love how simple but totally effective this storage unit is.

5. If you've ever wondered what happens when kids have the run of the house (our house, this weekend) including open access to the art studio...this is where it can end up!

Happy Monday friends!
