CHAPTER 6: Katie Sands Bochner

"Evenings in our house are equal parts energy and wind-down. After dinner and a bath, we give Benny full freedom to play with whatever he’s gravitating toward that night. Right now, that usually looks like a full-on concert moment with his little guitar or some quiet time listening to his Toniebox."

Shop Benny's toy basket that is chic enough to keep in Katie's living room.

Mom's can get in on the fun too! The adorable bunny basket and basketball hoop in muted colors are all available on the site. 

"Benny has a lot of energy at 19 months, so letting him get it out in his own way feels really important. Some nights it’s cars zooming along his train track toy from Little Room Supply, other nights it’s pure chaos in the best way."

"Once we start shifting into bedtime mode, we slow things down with a “bookie” (his word for books, which I refuse to correct). It’s my favorite part of the day and such a sweet way to reconnect before bed."

"We’re pretty consistent with a 7pm bedtime, which has been a game changer for all of us."

"After he’s down, it’s our time to reset. We’ll usually wrap up a bit of work, then finally cook dinner and get into bed to watch our shows. It’s not glamorous, but it’s our little routine and honestly one of my favorite parts of the day."
