My Story

Hi! I'm Devon, and like you, I'm a parent who cares deeply about what my children play with. As a Montessori educator and mom, I've spent countless naptimes researching the "perfect" toys – diving down rabbit holes of toy makers and reading developmental guides.

But here's what I discovered: the magic isn't in having ALL the toys – it's in having the RIGHT toys at the RIGHT time.

Enter toy rotation – the game-changing practice of offering fewer, more intentional choices. Suddenly, my kids played longer, more creatively, and independently (hello, hot coffee!). Our home felt calmer. I felt calmer. And those "forgotten" toys? They felt brand new when they reappeared.

Friends started asking: "How do you choose such amazing toys?" "Where did you get that?" "Can you help me pick something for my kid?"

That's when it hit me – what if I could share this joy, this intentionality, this SANITY with other parents navigating the beautiful chaos of early childhood?

Welcome to Borrow and Bloom – where great toys come to play, then go away.
