The dreaded & daunting task of potty training 😣Here are some essentials to help get you through!

As a parent I have tested my fair share of baby products and these are the ones I like the best!

My 18 month old started solids at 6 months with purees and oatmeal, then we moved into baby lead weaning, and now he eats what we eat pretty regularly.

After baby number three, you really get a feel for the things that ACTUALLY help. Granted, every baby is different, but these items would be a safe bet for most babies! Bonus points if you have a baby who is obsessed with their mama!!!

I have 4 kiddos from 1-9 years old. From my first to my last the times have changed and there are so many cool products I have found I would love to share with folks!

Here is to not losing your fashion identity just because you are a mum!! I am a fashion girly at heart and felt a little lost freshly postpartum with so many practical items, but it doesn't have to be just practical!! All of these reccomendations are fun and chic. I love how majority of these pieces are offered in a neutral or colour for which ever type of mum you may be.

Picking a baby shower dress can be difficult, not only do you need to fit the bump but you also need to match the theme! Here I have so many good options for all types of baby showers / events

We follow a lot of MONTESSORI METHODS at home: Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.

Pregnancy is great, but not always fun. These products may just make your journey go by better!

These are my all-time favourite products for the first year of baby’s life, with a few that are useful for even longer! We love longevity ⏰ 🕵️‍♀️ One of my favourite ways to shop for my baby was secondhand, so while I did include a few clothing items, keep in mind that most of her wardrobe came from the thrift store or FB marketplace—which is why a few items have a higher price point. They’re high quality pieces that were worth the investment 100%. Some of them are also from small shops, so you’re supporting an individual or family with your purchase. 💻 I’ve also included some social media resources that were very helpful for me in the trenches of those first couple years. Most are certified in their field and also offer services; many are also authors and podcasters.

This is the gear that makes exploring feel exciting, intentional, and totally magical for kids.
