These toys have helped my daughter with her motor skills, pronunciation and memory skills. I can't express how much I love them for her! 10/10 would recommend for your genius baby!
This is a list of activities I have purchased off Amazon for my kids that help keep them occupied while we are inside on a rainy or a too hot of day, day. I love all the cute activities that Pinterest has, but also, that takes a lot of work so I like to find simple ready to go activities.
Waking up at 3am to change soaked sheets and pajamas was destroying what little sleep I had left. If you're the parent who dreads opening that nursery door because you already know everything is wet — I tested dozens of diapers, overnight solutions, and backup layers so you can actually sleep until morning. Took me eight months of trial and error, so steal my notes.
This is a list of our favorite summer toys. My kids love the water toys the best! They're great for staying cool and keeping the kids preoccupied! I’ve included different options here for kids of all ages.

🍼✨ Welcome to my ultimate baby survival (and joy) kit! From tiny socks that disappear into the void to gadgets that make feeding and naptime almost magical, this list has got you covered. Think of it as a little mix of practicality, comfort, and a sprinkle of chaos-ready essentials—because let’s be honest, life with a baby is equal parts adorable and unpredictable. Whether you’re hunting for must-have toys, lifesaving gear, cozy outfits, or those little luxuries that make parenting feel like less of a circus, I’ve tested, loved, and curated them all. Grab a cup of coffee (or wine, no judgment) and dive in—your future self will thank you! 🍼💖
If you have a baby boy or are expecting one, shop and save this list for the cutest clothes that have I have found and love! I love finding clothes at great prices as he will grow out of it so fast, so I’m not someone that spends too much money on an outfit for a one and done!
I have listed all of my nursery finds! As a first time mom, creating his room has been so special. We went with a mallard duck theme focusing on greens, blacks, tans, and whites.

Filling up everyone's Christmas stockings is fun but can be challenging, especially when trying to stay within a budget. Most of my list are gift ideas under $10.
Spending Sunday nights mashing sweet potatoes into tiny jars while your baby screams from the high chair is a special kind of torture. If you're a parent who wants homemade baby food without the nightly chaos, this is the exact setup I use to batch prep, fill, freeze, and grab pouches all week long. Took me three kids to figure this out, so steal it now.
Finding the right stroller is easier when you compare how it fits your everyday life. I picked 30 options across budgets: everyday full-size strollers, lightweight travel strollers, jogging models, double strollers, expandable designs, and complete travel systems. Compare Graco, Inglesina, CYBEX, UPPAbaby, Stokke, Bugaboo, Silver Cross, Nuna, Joolz, Chicco, Evenflo, BOB, and Thule. My notes highlight weight, fold, seating, storage, newborn setup, and whether an infant car seat or extra seat is included. I love having both practical budget picks and stylish premium options in one shortlist. Check current instructions, child limits, and compatibility before buying; airline cabin rules and jogging readiness vary. Disclosure: These are affiliate links.

Homeschool supplies I love and use with my toddlers, many for introducing new concepts / letters / and practice! This list will always be updated because as my girls grow we modify or add things that we will be using!
Quiet, portable tools that help students reset without leaving the learning space—deep pressure, visual timers, sound dampening, and soft fidgets that stay on the calm shelf.
This is a list of baby registry must-haves that I have compiled, so that you don't have to. Every item is something that I've used over my first year of motherhood and have enjoyed.

Need ideas for what to do to beat the heat or get out of the house in those cold winter months? I've got you covered. These are my favorite places to take my children when we need a fun activity.
Moving with kids is rough. Mine cried for a week about leaving their friends, their old rooms, their favorite tree in the backyard. I needed them to walk into the new house and feel something other than dread. So I set up scavenger hunts, room reveals, and little surprises that turned moving day from tears into the best adventure they'd had all year. If you're about to relocate with reluctant kids, grab these before the moving truck shows up.
With my kids in online charter school, staying organized and prepared is everything. These are our favorite items that help keep school running smoothly at home.

Here are a few mommy- (and kid) approved play-learning apps that my daughter loves to play and I have found to be great with teaching a whole host of topics from letter sounds, reading to STEM type activities, problem solving and emotions. I love that these allow for a safe screen-time environment for my daughter where she can play independently and allow her to explore and become curious about learning (without worrying about inappropriate content or ads). I've included some apps that are free, some paid and some with a free tier or free trial.

Finding a bottle that doesn’t interfere with breastfeeding can feel like a never-ending game of trial and error—so I did the work for you. This list includes bottles that have been triangle test approved and mama-tested for being gentle on breastfed babies who go back and forth between breast and bottle.
These options are great for:
✔️ Preserving baby’s natural latch
✔️ Reducing nipple confusion
✔️ Mimicking breastfeeding flow and pace
✔️ Helping pumped milk feedings feel more natural
Whether you’re combo feeding, exclusive pumping, or just looking for a backup option—these bottles have passed the test in our home and many others.
Before going in for my C-Section I was overwhelmed with what I would need after because influencers, social media, and google will tell you all different things. The things on this list worked best for me!
As a first time mom, I know how overwhelming it can be trying to put together a list of items that you think you might need for a baby. Knowing how many things are out there that aren’t needed and you may never use if you receive it, I’m here to give you my personal list of items that I’ve gotten for my baby and would recommend to my friends! I will try to continually add as things become more relevant and used in my household. Enjoy! 😊

Your kid comes home on a Friday and casually mentions the science fair is in two weeks. You stare at each other. Nobody has a single idea. I've been that parent three times now, and after one spectacular failure involving baking soda everywhere, I finally put together a kit of books, supplies, and tools that make the whole process way less painful. This is for the parent who wants their kid to actually learn something without losing a full weekend to tears. Grab what you need before the next project deadline sneaks up on you.

I’ve come across some heavy hitters while planning my son’s “J turns one with Frog and Toad” party!

Grab these while you're still in the planning phase.
