About

Parent, renter, and cat guardian who stress-tests quiet, modular toys in small spaces. Helps readers cut waste without cutting engagement.

Core Beliefs

Fewer, better, quieter objects create more play and less waste.

Background

Living in a one-bedroom with a light-sleeping newborn and two cats, I trimmed the toy bin to five pieces and tracked replacements. Switching to wand heads with spare parts cut waste and noise, and a quiet kicker saved our sanity. My budget learned: durability beats novelty every month.
