    So many great ideas on here!!! Thanks for all the great tips!!

  2. Jennette says:

    This is such a good gift guide! I literally ordered three of the items for my kids.

  3. Patricia says:

    Flash light tag? Once your house is not a construction zone, that could be amazing inside (cold weather) or outside in better weather.
    Those building blocks, where were they when I was a kid?
    My always favorite gift; the dress up box full of old slips and tutus and costumes and scarves.
    And books. Lots and lots of books.

  4. Bethany says:

    Flashlights are genius! Every preschooler loves them.

  5. Danielle says:

    I have loved your guides for many years now-but this one is by far my favorite! So many unique and fun ideas! Thank you!!

  6. katerose says:

    Love this guide! I remember you mentioning a doll for your littlest. My babe is super into dolls right now — any favorite brands? Thanks!

    • Julia says:

      I got the minikane baby doll–it’s soooo cute but HARD to track down. I hear they ship to the US but their site is in french. I found one through a small US boutique but they are sold out now!

      • Angela says:

        Try searching for “Paola Reina dolls”. Minikane imports and distributes them under their name, but they are actually handmade in Spain. I believe they add the clothes, but if you want the dolls and don’t mind shopping for the clothes separately, that might give you more shopping options. :)

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
