High Chair Activities
High chair activities are a one of my favorite mom hacks. They are, in my opinion, nothing short of genius. High chair activities are exactly what they sound like - activities your infant/toddler can enjoy while strapped into that multipurpose chair. The beauty of high chair activities can be summed up by these three perks:… Continue reading High Chair Activities
