Stephanie lives in Canada with her two kids, husband, and beloved dog, Oliver. As a longtime Nugget fan, she’s prioritized Nuggets in their home, citing their versatility and practicality for different ages and uses. Join us in a day in the life, as they use their Nuggets for play, creativity, and relaxation.

Welcome to our home! I'm Stephanie, mama to two rambunctious boys with needs and founder of the lifestyle blog, Our Little Chaos. Being an American living in Canada, it was a bit of an adjustment when we moved up north because of how common multi level homes are. Instead of our 1500 square foot home being on one or two levels, it is divided into three, making our shared spaces and bedrooms quite cozy.

I know that it might seem impossible to fit not one but FOUR Nuggets into our space, but let me show you how we make it work in our home.

Four Nuggets are set up as wedges, facing into a square "parkour" course. A child hangs out in the back of the frame and a dog walks towards the camera. Due to the layout and smaller rooms, we can store and play with our Nuggets in three areas: the living room and boys' bedrooms. Our living room is just under 80 sq feet and is where we keep our Nuggets most of the time – it's the perfect couch for the whole family. When not in use, we stack them up high in a tower. The best part about them being kept in this tiny living space is that we can transform the room from a couch to a castle to a parkour training area in a snap.

Storing them like this not only creates a cute and cozy spot for reading bedtime stories, but the perfect step stool to see the world outside.
