Things I’ve found that make long days in the tractor, on the ranch and at the arena a little easier

A good first aid kit is essential to have on hand for anything that may happen with kids.

Clogged milk ducts HURT and caused me a lot of anxiety at the start of my breastfeeding journey. Not only was I on constant call to feed my little one, sleep deprived, and hangry, I now found myself having to deal with a hot and painful boob. When looking up solutions to the problem, it seemed like the research and people were all over the place - “Put heat on the clog.” // “DON’T put heat on the clog.” I was overwhelmed and still in pain. After much research, trial and error, consulting my Midwife and naturopathic doctor, I have come up with a list of NATURAL products I wish I was recommended even before my first clog happened. (Side note - contrary to popular belief clogged milk ducts are not actually a clog. It’s inflammation and most of the recommendations out their don’t treat inflammation, making the “clog” worse. Depending on the severity of the clog, these products could take a few hours to days to clear it up. Also, it’s important to note that, your baby is fantastic at sucking out clogs.)

Looking back, these are the things that you can live without… but won’t want to. They were worth the money and “clutter” for the sanity they gave me in return

A curated list of gentle, safe, and practical baby products I personally love and recommend — from bath time to bedtime. I have used multiple products before switching to the below recommended ones. My baby has a very dry skin type and I did try a multiple sets of body wash and moisturizers. So here are my recommendations for dry and sensitive skin type. Also, my baby was EBF, but when I had supply issues and wanted to join back work after my maternity I had to give him top feed. He wasn't taking the bottle at all. So I tried multiple bottles and below recommended bottle is the one he easily accepted.

These items help not only my autistic child but me as well. Because having a hard time equals bad behaviors. Less hard time equals harmony for both mother and child.

Preparing for a baby can feel overwhelming, but focusing on the basics makes it a lot easier to get started without overbuying. At the top of the list are feeding essentials, which you’ll use constantly from day one. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, or doing a mix of both, having a good supply of bottles, burp cloths, and bibs makes life much smoother. A bottle brush and drying rack also come in handy for keeping everything clean, especially during those frequent middle-of-the-night feeds. Sleep is another big priority, since newborns spend most of their time resting. A safe sleep space like a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress and fitted sheets is essential. Many parents also rely on swaddles or sleep sacks to help babies feel secure and sleep more comfortably. A baby monitor can give you peace of mind, letting you keep an eye on your little one while they’re in another room. Diapering quickly becomes part of your daily routine, so having everything ready ahead of time is a must. You’ll need diapers in a couple of sizes since babies grow fast, along with wipes and a good diaper cream to help prevent irritation. A changing pad makes diaper changes easier and more hygienic, whether you’re at home or setting up a small changing station. A diaper pail or covered trash bin is also helpful for controlling odor. Bath and hygiene items don’t need to be complicated, but they do need to be gentle. A baby bathtub, soft washcloths, hooded towels, and mild baby soap are usually all you need for the first several months. Tiny nails grow fast too, so baby nail clippers or a file are important to keep scratches under control. Clothing-wise, simple basics like onesies, sleepers, socks, and a few seasonal layers will cover most situations without overfilling the dresser. Finally, a few extras can make daily life a little easier when you need your hands free. An infant car seat is non-negotiable for safe travel, and a stroller or travel system helps when you’re out and about. Items like a baby swing, bouncer, or pacifiers can be helpful for soothing, depending on what your baby likes. You don’t need everything at once, but starting with these essentials helps you feel prepared without going overboard.

Whether you're preparing for a new school year or replacing old supplies, this list includes useful and student-friendly essentials for everyday learning, organization, and productivity.

Tried and true baby products that I have put through the wringer with my kiddos and now gravitate toward when gifting for new moms.
