Family Homes

Now the space is functional and aesthetically pleasing!

Everything is sooo cute.

I have good news for anyone who, like me, has been side-eyeing the hideous and gross toddler toilet parked in their bathroom. Lalo — the baby gear brand behind the neutral-hued, cult-favorite high chair — is bringing a design-forward approach to potty training. (As much as potty training can be, you know, elevated.

It's so clever too!

Curate the chaos.

It makes so much sense.

After my husband and I got married during college and started our family young, we were happy to accept any and all gently used household products — including a seemingly ancient, donated washing machine and dryer set that had been stashed in a family member’s barn. That washer and dryer served us and our laundry well for many years, but when it came time to buy a new set, I wanted a “fancy” version.

The brand known for invites is now planning the whole party.

It’s giving cottagecore!

Your home state is your family’s first playground: the backdrop for weekend adventuring, after-school activities, and every “Mom, what are we doing today?” question. Where you live can level up — or seriously limit — your options for family fun.

“The bench is both functional and pretty,” the DIYer says.

From everyday essentials to emergency provisions.

My kids are 2 and 4 years old, and they’ve quickly become travel champs, keeping themselves entertained on road trips all around the West Coast, and flying both cross-country and to Hawaii.As such, my husband and I have gotten our packing routine down to a near science, learning to load luggage into the trunk like pieces in Tetris. Though it’s a lesson we learned the hard way — i.e., running late to the airport and unable to close the overfull car.

Brilliant!

It’s so customizable, too!
