It seems like hooded towels only come adorned with zoo animals and licensed characters, and considering my daughter isn’t into monkeys anymore and I’m not so into Dora, our options are pretty limited. That’s not the case, however, since finding the...
I’ve tried several ways to manage the ever growing load of water toys that seem to be overtaking our bathroom. None of them have worked as well or looked as sleek as the Kuster Bath Toy Store. (Which is not actually a toy store, but a way to store toys. A little...
