One of my favourite things about Kids & Company is knowing my twins have an early education curriculum.

So many of you have been following our toddler bed sleep saga, so I wanted to share a blog post on how we’ve made the transition a more tolerable one. Trading cribs for twin beds took up a fair amount of space in the room. We had to test out several configurations until we got…
