As a first time, Mama, when you are reading about things that you need through your postpartum journey, you will be recommended so many different products and it could be overwhelming. I curated this list here that are perfect for what you will need or what you will find more useful than others through this journey.

My top items as a first time and new mama to a baby girl!

When I wear makeup, these are the products I’m reaching for! Natural looks - I have combination skin too! Skincare is also a time of day that I truly look forward to, especially my evening routine! The retinol and gel moisturizer are my favorite parts!

Things you NEED for your Disney Park Bag! As a travel agent and annual passholder I have so much experience with what you actually need. I visit the parks 2-3 times a year so I know what I’m talking about!

You know all of those light up toys your little ones will see when at Disney World or Disneyland? Do yourself a favor and purchase prior to traveling to save you money, time, and meltdowns in the parks!

These are my top products that I use for cleaning and organizing my home! With a little one I really want to make sure that the house is clean for both my family and our dog. Never want them to get into anything that could harm them!

These are must haves for any water fun whether it’s a pool, beach, or even at home in a sprinkler or bath time!

If you have a baby girl, check out this list for the cutest clothes that have we have found and love! I love finding clothes at great prices as she will grow out of it so fast, so I’m not someone that spends soo much money on an outfit for a one and done!

If you want to minimize screen time like I do…grab some of these activities for your next trip to keep your kids occupied!

As a travel agent specializing in Disney Vacations and an out of state annual passholder, I venture to the parks multiple times a year. These are the best recommendations you’ll find!
