Yurt Camping Tips:
1. Most yurts come with furniture–bunk beds with mattresses and sometimes a small couch and/or a small table. For some, you bring your own bedding and other camping accessories.

2. Yurts often have a door that locks, which is great for stashing your goods while you’re out exploring and keeping your food tucked away from curious wildlife.

3. Depending on the yurt location, some are hooked up to electricity. Every parent realizes the value in this–even hardcore camping parents!

11. Meaningful Merchandise

KAZI

How many times have we put all the toys away, again, and thought that maybe the kids have a bit too much? While it’s hard to encourage little ones to part with their toys (though we talked to pro organizing moms who can help with that), we can certainly incorporate global awareness into their room design. KAZI’s new line of floor baskets and hampers were woven by hand by artisans in Rwanda. Through play and pick-up, we can support weavers halfway around the world and show the kids how we are all connected.

Available at: kazigoods.com, $48 for a set of 3 Palm Nesting Floor Baskets.
