At the end of the day, my stairs are littered with jackets, stray crayons, and abandoned toys. I need some stair baskets to corral the chaos.
These woven baskets are designed to slot right onto your stairs. They’re roomy enough to fill with everything that needs to go upstairs or downstairs in one trip — they even have handles for easy carrying. Woven from rattan and seagrass, they’re both attractive and durable (and opaque enough to hide the clutter).
These baskets from Pottery Barn are $129. Here’s another option from Amazon with a different handle style.

My three year old is doing this thing on weekends where he doesn’t want to do an activity we suggest (like, going to the park) so we decide to move on and do something else, but then hours later he’ll insist it’s time to go to the park now, but by that point it’s dinner time or bedtime so we can’t go. Is this just something we need to work through? Any tips?
Funny kid stories for the weekend?
We’ve been trying to work with our newly 5 year old on reading, and it’s very reminiscent of the Friends episode where Joey tries to speak French. She knows the individual sounds just fine, but when she trys to put it all together it becomes complete gibberish, a la “Jeh…muh…pell… jeh muh pell… je m’appelle!… me poo poo!” We’re not concerned or anything, reading is not at all expected at the start of K here, but it is very hilarious.
