Family Homes

They’re Mom-approved.

It has a high-end look without the high-end price.

I had no idea it was so dangerous.

It comes in great, kid-friendly colors, too.

I only wish I’d gotten it sooner.

All it takes is one thing you probably already own.

I’m adding everything to my cart.

It’s surprisingly useful — and whimsical, too!

Without much floor space, this apartment’s entryway was lacking storage. A vertical IKEA solution changed that.

Plus more organizing gems, starting at $9!

This DIY was totally beginner-friendly.

A real-life pantry is made over with real-life solutions.

Those tiny little packs of dessicant that come in your new pack of shoes or your vitamins have many uses around your home.

I’m kind of shocked.

Meet your new night-light.

It's a glow-up that must be seen to be believed.

It's especially great for hiding outlets in nurseries and playrooms.

If you get a thrill out of organizing tools doing double duty in different areas of the home, you’ll enjoy this.

As a parent of two kids under 5, I’m no stranger to traveling with a pack and play for safe sleeping. I rely on one we’ve owned since my oldest was born. And not just for vacation. It’s also served as a second bed for afternoon naps at Grandma’s house and a safe place to play while I tackle household chores. But with so much use, it’s crucial to maintain one properly.

Spring has sprung, and along with that first “throw the windows open” warm day often comes the beginning of spring cleaning. The endless crumbs, missing socks, and lone water cups (why so many used glasses?!) can build up in the winter season, so spring cleaning feels like a fresh start.  Eighty percent of American families plan on spring cleaning, according to the American Cleaning Institute.

I’ve moved a lot — five times in just as many years. And the one thing that continues to move with and terrify me is an enormous, 180-pound aluminium coffee table that creates an equally enormous level of anxiety whenever one of my toddlers goes near it. Every time we’ve moved, I’ve sworn I’d replace it — and the other pointy, heavy, precarious pieces of furniture like it that haunt the living room like a gaggle of sharp-edged ghosts.

Now my accessories aren’t hidden!

It's a bit springy.

These tricks are next level.

There's nothing better than an indoor slide.

Learn exactly what to wash and what to spot clean.

My kitchen was stuck in the worst version of the '70s, but I gutted, refinished, and rebuilt it with vintage design in mind.

Hobbyists and crafters need to grab this lamp ASAP.

It’s the perfect time to make the switch.

And they won’t be around forever.

It's unrecognizable!

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. It’s also why Family Fun was one of the five key components used by WalletHub to rank the Best & Worst States to Raise a Family in 2026.

I keep a few around all the time.

You already know what we’re talking about!

The sales are still going strong!

And so simple.

It’s a smart space-saving solution.

Act fast, it's selling out!

And it’s so cushioned, my downstairs neighbors approve.

Low-tech, low-pressure, and kind of genius.

It’s all about zones!

It’s like a “restart” button.

These don’t require perfection (or a ton of supplies).

Surprisingly, no K-Pop Demon Hunters on this list!

It was so much easier than I thought it'd be.

This is what would happen if kids designed home decor (complimentary!).

This handcrafted gem is under $30. I’m obsessed!

Lavender and coconut and chamomile, oh my!

They’re worth the hype.

Here’s how you can offer your support.

Some are great for adults, too!

No more piles (and piles) of sneakers!

It's a colorful, joyful oasis.

With DIY stone walls!

Spotlight your kids’ art AND keep clutter at bay.

I'm obsessed!

The prettiest car seat, period.

It has a clever bonus feature!

It's a huge difference, for a small investment.

And you definitely already have everything you need.

It’s giving the ‘90s!

And it’s renter-friendly!

The outside of the home is an extension of the colorful palette on the inside.
