Today’s Friday Favorite is our new toy chest!  Even though Maxwell is only 4 months old we’re already amassing quite a collection of brightly colored plastic toys.  He’s got plenty of storage in his room, but we needed a place to keep a bunch of them in the den where he usually plays.  I found this great toy chest at Pottery Barn Kids.  It blends right in with our furniture so you really don’t even notice it.  I also like that it doesn’t have a lid – no little fingers will be smashed and hopefully no lid will encourage Maxwell to put away  his toys someday!  I can dream, right?!

Maxwell likes how it keeps all of his toys contained…toys like the keys to his boat, plane and car!

Don’t tell him he can’t drive yet!  🙂

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!  Thanks to our awesome nanny, Robert and I are going out to brunch to celebrate 3 years of wedded bliss!!  Can’t wait!

Today’s Friday Favorite was given to me by my best friends at my shower.  They clearly know the best baby gear because this thing is great!  It’s a collapsible storage bin by Scout.  It is perfect for hauling all of Maxwell’s stuff when we travel in the car and then can be folded up completely flat when we’re not using it.  I’m sure someday it will make a fantastic toy box too!

I have the “Junque Trunk” in the blue color:

and here it is folded down flat:

I can’t think of an easier way to pack of all Maxwell’s stuff.  Our bin has been to Arkansas, Texas and all over Alabama already!  You might remember this photo from one of our trips:

We love our Scout Bin!

I’m not going to lie, it’s been a rough week at our house.  Maxwell’s reflux is back with a vengeance and there has been a lot of crying, a lot of fussing and very little sleep.  We’ve increased his Zantac dosage to keep up with his weight so let’s all just hope it makes a difference.  My sweet boy needs some relief!  Needless to say, I am beyond ready for the weekend to have Robert home all day to help out!  While we’re all hanging out at home, I think we might…

Dance to some Christmas tunes…

sing some Christmas carols…

See you Monday!
