In case you were wondering what we use in our home…
…I’ve put these items to the test. Trust me. My toddlers are hard on everything and these items are totally worth the money. Most things are super budget friendly, while others are 1000% worth the splurge (or should be on your Christmas list). Is there something I have to have that isn’t here? Let me know!!
