some of the items we acquire as new parents are genuinely useful, while some are disappointments. Some have a long shelf-life. (Ask me how long my kids slept with the white noise maker running at night. eight years.) While some are for only a three-month phase before they’re outgrown.
Here are a few inspiring images of projects by parents that have taken advancement into their own hands.
