I’m all about the rainbow explosion of toys in our house, but when it comes down to the bigger stuff, like where my baby’s going to roll around all day, I lean towards something that doesn’t scream “playroom” in the middle of our living room. It’s not like our little ones are critiquing their lounge spots or fashion choices – but let’s be real, we’re the ones looking at it all day. And if your eyes start to twitch at the sight of a messy room (yep, that’s me too), a play mat that blends in with your vibe at home can be a game-changer. It means you keep your chill, and your baby still gets the joy of that one special, bright toy – the kind that can disappear into a toy box at bedtime. Have you seen @Eeveve - lifestyle brand? They’ve rolled out these play mats that are honestly more like art pieces. They’ve got splat mats and baby plates too that just slide right into your home’s look like they’ve always been there, making clean-up less of a chore. They’ve got a sale happening now, by the way. Worth a peek for a stress-free, stylish space (and a happier you). First-time mom | Nursery | Baby essentials | neutral baby
