- You wanna do like, all kind of dance.
You wanna do the fish, right.
You wanna do the fish or whatever.
I cannot even do that one guys.
I think I'm a little too old for that.
(uptempo music)
Hi, I'm Karolina Kurkova
and I wanna show you inside our favorite room
which is Noah's who is my four-year-old.
So come in and I'll show you how it looks.
(uptempo music)
So first and foremost,
I think showing your little one's art is so important
and I love this one which is very special.
We were able to go in to Rita Romero Studio
who's an incredible artist
and he's really amazing with kids.
I like to display all their artwork.
I think it's just so important
and it really makes the room personal,
it makes it theirs, it makes it special.
Instead of just putting any type of work,
why not put your kid's art work?
(upbeat music)
So, this is it guys.
I wanted the space to be really light and airy and cozy.
I love that we have this cozy rug.
His little bed which I, a lot of time,
actually spend sleeping on.
A lot of beds for kids I find they're bulky, they're big,
so I really like this bed from DucDuc.
It's modern, it's clean,
and the cool thing here,
if you have a sibling,
you can put them down here on the bottom.
You know, just like little things that makes it theirs
and things they like.
We're learning to count
so old school counting.
And then I want to show you here.
This is really cool and fun.
I highly recommend this.
Click and grow.
This is your little indoor garden
and right now we're growing our tomatoes.
I don't have a house.
I don't have a big land to do it on,
so why not do it inside your house.
This is a great system.
He gets to see how plants grow.
And look we're gonna have little tomatoes soon.
(upbeat music)
Then, a super fun item.
The lollipop.
You know when we have kids over we always make
a little bit of fun,
we say, "Look we have a giant lollipop.
"Go and lick it."
But then we of course stop them and say,
"No, don't lick it".
It's a lamp.
I love this.
This toy, it's super fun.
This is from Cybex.
It's a little plastic pig that you can sit on,
play on, be silly on,
but it also adds as a storage.
Anything to keep things organized.
I love these carts on wheels.
Again, to organize things.
So right now I have books in here
but you can put Lego's, you can put balls.
Anything to keep things kind of organized but moveable.
You need to clean the floor,
you know I can just wheel it.
I don't have to pick it up, it's not heavy.
Then Sonos, I love Sonos.
I'm someone who loves music
and a lot of times I talk about with families
doing freakazoid dance.
Can I show you what freakazoid dance is?
You're probably like, "What is she talking about?"
Okay, let me show you guys, we need space.
You need to be silly.
Kids need to see the parent being funny, goofy, silly,
and how better way to be silly
and goofy when you're playing music.
With freakazoid dance, all you wanna be,
you want it to be fun.
You wanna be silly.
You wanna do like, all kind of dance.
You wanna do the fish, right.
You wanna do the fish or whatever.
I cannot even do that one guys.
I think I'm a little too old for that
but you want to do, like, the running man.
Anything that's silly and goofy
and then it's their turn and they go,
and do the freakazoid dance.
Whoa, it's a full house party
so don't forget, do freakazoids.
This is where we like to read sometimes
and take it easy.
And this is where I take my nappies sometimes too.
One of my favorite things to do with the kids
is actually bedtime.
You know, I feel like that's the time
where everybody's a little bit more relaxed and quiet.
And you get more insights,
like, how are they feeling.
They open up more.
They feel more vulnerable.
We love to read books.
I try to pick books that focuses on
maybe what's going on in his life.
"Braving Bedtime" talks about how do you get over it
or how you become brave to deal with bedtime.
So this is a really beautiful book.
I also love "Mommy Please Don't Go to Work".
I am a working mom and yes, I do travel for work.
Noah really loves it because he can identify with this book.
And then "The Lost Elephant" that Gryph and IvyRose
collaborated with Dr. Cowan, who is an incredible
pediatrician, using animals to explain the different
personalities of children
and that we all need each other
and that we all need to work together.
(gentle music)
Thank you so much everyone for watching
and remember, when you go back home today cuddle
and connect with your loved ones,
with your friend, with your wife,
with your husband, with your kids,
and maybe do a freakazoid dance.
Or maybe, read a book at bedtime
because those are the moments we'll never get back
but we will always remember.
(gentle music)
