The joy of bins
With three kids running circles around me, I've made some concessions when it comes to cleaning up. And one of them is that I'm not going to be doing all of it. My philosophy has always been that if my kids can make a mess, then they can most certainly help pick it up afterwards. One way to make that happen more easily are bins - particularly cute ones, like the elephant storage bin from 3 Sprouts. We're already huge fans of 3 Sprouts baby products (their adorable bath towels made our Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide) and these are no exception. Made from organic cotton and eco-felt spun from recycled plastic bottles, the soft structured bins are big and sturdy enough to hold toys, books, or in my daughter's case, a mountain of dress up clothes. all without a licensed character staring back at us. -Kristen Visit Lou Lou's Corner for unique baby clothes and kids' gifts.
