First time mom or just needing a baby shower gift idea, these items were essential for me as a first time mom and I would buy them all again if I had to!

These are things my kids absolutely love to the things I use in my own home to keep my kids safe and happy

A compiled list of my favorite children's toys, games and brands! Giving a bit of insight to toys and companies that you are wondering about, but unsure with the hands off process of online purchasing.

It's so hard to know what you will and won't use at the beginning of your baby's life. These are things that I couldn't live without for the first 3 months!

If, like me, you love to give a Christmas gift hamper but get bored with the same old food selections, then making your own gift hamper can be a fun alternative. It works well with all ages and is especially great if you want to gift to a family group or a set of child siblings, as it can often be easier to find several smaller gift items than one large one. You can also tailor boxes to suit interests such as sports, movies or themes such as countries or cooking…the only limit on what you can do with gift hampers is your own imagination!

There's tired, there's mom tired, and then there's homeschool mom tired. It's a whole ‘nother level! Setting realistic expectations helps. Make sure you're being realistic for yourself and your kids. Also, remember to give yourself grace! Your kids are getting so much more than just reading, writing, and math from staying home.

A list of tried and true toy recommendations that this paediatric Occupational Therapist uses in practice to support the development of pincer grip. I've tried to include various resources for different age ranges and different interests. Those with “Older” or “Younger” in the title are specifically for older/younger learners, and those that don't specify are appropriate for a wider age range. Some of these items are designed specifically for developing fine motor skills, and others are regular household items or games that can also be used to build on pincer grasp. If you have any questions about how to use any of the resources, please let me know and I'd be happy to help out!

Cloth diapering favorites we actually use and love 🤍 I prioritize natural fibers like organic cotton, but I also use microfiber inserts when they make sense for our routine. And on days when cloth just isn’t doable, we reach for eco-conscious disposables like Hiro — designed to break down with fungi instead of sitting in landfills for decades.I’ve used cloth diapers daily and tested what actually works (and what doesn’t). If you’re overwhelmed, this is the exact setup I use that made cloth diapering simple and doable. No fluff — just real products that held up through daily use, leaks, and laundry routines.

These are all great items to have to make sure your child is ready for their first class!

Homeschool, playroom inspo, the learning resource company items have never let me down. There are so many ways to play with these toys!

If you are in the same stage of life that I am in with 2 toddlers, the amount of toys you accumulate on birthdays and holidays can be very overwhelming! In my house, we have started to be more selective about what toys we have for a toddlers – often the criteria is: 1) they have to have more than 1 purpose (can be used in many ways to encourage creativity); 2) they have to promote development of a motor skill or cognitive/problem solving skill; 3) they have to be FUN so that my kids will actually play with them! Check out my list of favorite toddler toys below – each description states the age range I would use this and what it promotes developmentally speaking!

This list includes engaging toys that help toddlers stay occupied while building important skills like fine motor, problem solving, and independent play. As a BCBA and a parent, I look for toys that keep toddlers engaged while encouraging independence and meaningful play.

I really do think it's better to keep them strapped in as much as you can. All these items are ideas and inspiration - you can choose what works best for you. Don't forget to repurpose and reuse what you have or what your friends are giving away.
