Inside POPSUGAR Must Have Box: November 2016

The month of November kicks off holiday entertaining season for a lot of us and the latest POPSUGAR Must Have Box was packed with a few fun items to help with your home decor or your style.

Renting a Stroller During Your Disney Trip

Paper Stationary Makes Celebrations Extra Special

By

When it comes to parties or events I’m planning I prefer to use paper invitations. Mostly, because I like to design the cards and because whether people will admit it or not, I think they still feel special receiving mail. My 5-year-old daughter LOVES getting mail.

Is it weird that the most exciting thing in this month’s POPSUGAR #MustHaveBox for me was the travel-ready underarm deodorant wipes?! ? Coming in second was the “pressels.” #Priorities

DIY: Potty Basket and Privacy Door Hanger

By

Whether kids know it or not, they all have an opinion on potty training. I think as the parents, we should try to choose a training method that may work with their personality. My son is an active fella. So, I created a Potty Time basket that includes some busy items, as well as, everything he would need while he tries to potty.
