With Halloween over and done with, my home design naturally shifts to winter vibes. I’ve partner with The Brick to style their beautiful rustic Colby table into the perfect holiday place setting that is sure to wow your guests this season. I wanted to play off the natural wood material of the Colby table by adding accessories like this greenery garland, antlers and artichokes. Keeping the room neutral with whites, woods, and pops of metallic made it easy to work in greens as the stunning touch of holiday magic. Add some candle light and you’ve got yourself a dinner party!

But, did you know that cognitive, physical and emotional development can be managed in your home’s play space?

Free play is so important and toys like the Fisher-Price® Think & Learn Smart Scan Color Chameleon make it so easy for Alastair to work on colour recognition, numbers, counting, and following directions. Press the button on the Chameleon’s tail to scan one of the 10 paint splats and Chameleon will identify that colour! Or, spread the paint splats on the floor, pick a play mode and be prompted to follow directions, sing, count, play games and more. He loves playing with his Color Chameleon. Continue reading →
