Erica Domesek is a social media star and the original queen of DIY. P.S. We Made This follows in the footsteps of her first two books, offering creative and colorful at-home projects, but now invites the whole family to join in the fun! It encourages parents (and kids!) to step away from the screens and help their littles learn essential sensory, motor, developmental, and life skills. From self-expression and imaginative play to problem-solving, these projects keep kids entertained, curious, and growing. Each chapter has simple out-of-the-box crafts, recipes, and ideas to engage kids of all ages. This is the perfect book for encouraging your child’s development and self-confidence, while also teaching them to have fun along the way.

Playboxes
We love to foster creative play and that’s why we love the newly launched Playboxes, eco-friendly, life-size coloring playhouses and activity booklets that bring HOURS of fun and joy to little ones. Think of them as 3D coloring books on cardboard forts. The sky’s the limit when it comes to your children’s creativity. Plus, it’s just as much fun to color for the parents as it is for the kids!
Our favorite part about these products is that it gives you a lot of opportunity to engage with your children, but also creates A LOT of those cherished “independent play” moments.
Playboxes offers designs of Santa’s Workshop, The Fairy Tale Castle, The Rocket, The Birthday Cupcake and more!
Here are some pro-tips on how to make the most of the Playboxes:
- color BEFORE you assemble
- if you want it to be “cute,” take over the key pieces like the signs above the doors
- water colors are very fun and provide fast coverage
Give the gift of creativity.

Gifts For Moms
Motherwell Bum Bag
We recently discovered the Motherwell bum bags from Australia. And we’re obsessed! They are chic, simply designed and beautifully crafted.
It’s the ideal companion for the stylish mama who’s on the go and making motherhood look easy. Go hands-free and wear it around your waist or as a stylish crossbody bag. If you’d rather, simply throw it securely over your stroller handlebars (thanks to the ‘anti-slip grip’ on the inner strap). This bag also comes with the longer version of our adjustable, detachable strap which facilitates seamless transition to long crossbody styling. Perfect for anyone who wants to wear the bag as a crossbody purse/hand bag! No matter how you decide to wear it, there’s no question that it will quickly become your favorite bag!
Made with cruelty-free, buttery vegan leather, this is our new to-go everyday bag. With its simple design and appealing colors (we love it in Sand), it‘s the perfect neutral accessory.
Motherwell supports Birthing Kit Foundation Australia (BKFA) to improve maternal and newborn health through their Birthing Kits. BKFA works in partnership with the Australian Community and a number of Global Organizations to pack and supply Clean Birth Kits to pregnant women living in rural communities around the world. Each bum bag purchased allows us to make a donation equivalent to one Clean Birth Kit.
This is not a diaper bag. This is not a bag for your kids. This is a bag for Mom. This is one gift you definitely will want to keep for yourself.

Little Words Project Bracelets
Little Words Project is one of our favorite companies because they promote kindness with their cute stackable, beaded bracelets. We love the inspirational phrases on the bracelets, like “breathe,” “fearless,” “grateful” and too many awesome words to list. You can even customize your own.
These bracelets make the perfect gift for that stylish someone who needs a little encouragement. They look amazing when stacked on a wrist for a powerful message of “remembering who you are!”
They believe that one kind word can change everything for the better. That’s why their bracelets are made to be worn and passed on—paying kindness forward one bracelet at a time. On their website, you can register a bracelet from its charm tag, wear your message of self-love and confidence. When you don’t need that mantra anymore, you can share your bracelet with someone who needs it more and track it.

The Pranamat ECO
Since no one has the time to run out to the masseuse every week, the Pranamat ECO makes a great gift. The Pranamat ECO Massage Set is made up of patented massage elements shaped like lotus flowers, which ease muscle-tension and pain, when used regularly. Using it for 20 minutes a day, this acupressure mat reduces back pain and stimulates the release of endorphins. It can take a little getting used to, but once you do, it’s well worth it.
Right now, they are running their best sale of the year!

Gifts For Dads
Cozy Earth Bedding
Cozy Earth offers bamboo bedding, daytime and nighttime attire and has been a game-changer for getting restful sleep. The sheet and duvet cover are temperature regulating, which is perfect for people who sweat at night.
My husband can attest to this, he tends to run warm and these have allowed him to sleep comfortably at night. He is actually a pretty bad sleeper normally, and since we started using these sheets, he has never slept better. He said it’s the best sleep he ever had in his life. (My 10 year old son said the same thing!)
Both the bedding and clothes are super soft. UNBELIEVABLY soft. Nothing even comes close. You have to feel it to believe it!
What’s even more appealing about Cozy Earth is they don’t use ANY harsh chemicals or dyes.
Give Dad the gift of a good night’s sleep.
Use code CE-MODERNMOM for a whooping 40% off your order. It’s their biggest sale of the year! Now that’s something that would make Dad smile too.

Slate Electric Flosser
Did you know that over 46% of all adults 30 years and older show signs of gum disease? Blech! Just kidding, but seriously it’s a problem. Regular flossing is a pain, and most people don’t do it right. That’s where the Slate Electric Flosser comes in; it is perfectly designed to floss your teeth, stimulate your gums, and clean that gunk off of your tongue. Having a mouth feel that clean is the highest form of self-care.
If flossing is a chore for your family, try out this awesome flosser with code momprobs15 for 15% off your first order.
ButcherBox Subscription
Let’s face it, the one place where your husband shines as a culinary phenom is the grill. My husband famously (in our house) forgot to add sugar to the holiday sugar cookies one year, but give him some tongs and a grill and he becomes Wolfgang Puck.
Make the man in your life happy while simultaneously keeping him out of the house and your actual kitchen, by giving him the gift of monthly meats. We are long time users of Butcher Box and have given it as gifts to family members and it really is top notch. They run great specials like ground beef for life and other stuff that defies logic and the meats are all of the highest quality, 100% Grass-fed and Grass-finished Beef, Heritage Breed Pork, and Free-range Organic Chicken. We are particular fans of their pork sausages which are absolute Italian butcher quality.
