Books are a huge building block to a child’s development, but as moms, it can be hard to always stay on top of purchasing new and interesting books for our kids. This rings especially true with new mothers who can find it hard to have time for the most basic of activities and book shopping is definitely not on the top of your list.

It’s a messy world out there… especially for moms. I don’t think a second passes by without some sort of mess being created in my home; with young kids it’s only natural, what isn’t natural is all the products made to help take care of those messes.
