If you just set up a nursery or you're about to, and you want to stop stumbling around in the dark hunting for wipes, diapers, and burp cloths, this is the lineup that took me two kids to figure out. Save yourself the trial and error before the sleep deprivation kicks in.

5 years ago I was a first-time mom looking up toys and items that were trending, but once my child was diagnosed with autism, I realized I didn't need any of the trendy items I purchased. I needed items that would support my child in his development and sensory needs. We have tried many items, some better than others. Here's my list of must-haves and how they have supported my child. I hope to give you ideas on how you can support your child with items and toys that have a purpose.

Everything I love for kids. These are the best quality items that lasted us through two kids and way longer. I only recommend products that enhance our quality of life, get used daily by the kids and used for many years so its worth the investment. With toys I also consider resale value and how easy it would be to resell online later.

Mom of 4 here and I can't recommend these items enough. Most of them have been my go-tos for all of my babies. A couple of them I just recently started using with my most recent baby and I wish I would've found them sooner.
It took me so long to decide on a theme for my baby boys nursery! I was super indecisive. Ultimately the way it was picked was by me sending my husband 3 different comforters and letting him pick which one he liked best! Dino won & I'm glad it did. His nursery turned out so cute and it's so fun seeing him love dinosaurs as a toddler!

With sick 🤧 season upon us and a mom of four I feel pretty confident in my caretaking skills. Here are a few staples in the medicine cabinet.
⚠️ NOT MEDICAL ADVICE ⚠️
We tried M&Ms, gummy bears, and straight-up bribery. Nothing worked for longer than two days. My daughter would sit on the potty, shrug, and walk away. It took me three months of trial and error to find the stickers, charts, and little rewards that actually clicked with her brain. If your toddler has zero interest in using the toilet and you're running out of ideas, scroll through before you waste another week on something that won't stick.
If you're running on two-hour sleep cycles and your baby fights every swaddle you've bought, I get it. I went through a ridiculous number of wraps, sacks, and blankets before my daughter started sleeping real stretches. This list is for the sleep-deprived parent who's about to lose it. Took me four months of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

Every summer my kids would whine about being bored fifteen minutes after going outside — sprinklers alone weren't cutting it. I spent two summers testing different slip and slides, splash pads, and water toys until we had a backyard water park that keeps them racing, sliding, and soaking each other for hours. If you've got kids bouncing off the walls by noon and you need them happily exhausted by dinner, steal this whole setup before the hot weeks hit.
January was a cold one but thankfully we had lots of new gifts to keep us entertained! These are the 10 toys that were on repeat at our house with two boys ages 6 and 4👦🏻👦🏻

This board is sickness remedies that I use or recommend for my baby to keep the ick away. Please understand that I first encourage to seek professional help from a doctor for any sickness and to know that this is what works for my family and may not work for others.
Linking everything I possibly can that I have or purchased for our trip to Disney with a toddler - almost potty training (you’ll see 😉)! This is our second trip with a baby, but she was under 2 last time so I have some new finds!
I recommend choosing baby gear around the days you actually have: walks, car trips, carrying your baby, and play at home. I grouped my picks by those jobs so you can compare options without treating the list as a shopping checklist. I would check fit, age and size limits, cleaning needs, and available storage before choosing. My goal is a useful setup for your family, not the most expensive one.
toys for the house where noise is the hard part, for the kid, the parent, or honestly both. no blaring batteries, no glitter explosions, nothing that ends in a full floor cleanup. just quiet, hands-busy stuff that actually holds attention on a regular afternoon (:

Finding the perfect gift for a baby shower can be a challenge so it's best to hear recommendations from a seasoned parent, like myself!

I've curated a list of must-have items that all new moms will love and I think this will be especially helpful for first time moms that aren't really sure what to ask for.
Dad is also becoming a whole new person too! practical essentials help new dads feel prepared, comfortable, and involved—from hospital day to those first few weeks at home. Because baby prep isn't just for mom. 👶🏻✨
I love this age. Four year olds are not toddlers anymore, but they also aren't quite school-age "kids" yet either. They have interests that range from Barbies to Spider Man to Disney Princesses to Legos to pretend play and more! Gifting for this age is so much fun, but it can also be tricky. By this age, they probably are starting to outgrow some of their "baby" toys and are starting to look at things like Lego sets or pretend make up or even early reading. It's important to cater to their interests and to respect their parents' preferences. Don't gift just another toy that'll get buried and forgotten. My list will help you stand out at the next birthday party for a 4 year old that you attend!
As a Mom of a nearly one year old, I’ve bought so many different brands and want to share the brands & products that have been ABSOLUTELY worth every penny.
Here are all the things you need to get started making your own sensory materials and bins! This is just a start you can really create just about anything and design your own themes. Use what you have around the house and see if you can repurpose anything that isn't getting much use.

Pregnant with our FOURTH baby, as a mother of "advanced maternal age" these are the things I can't live without. Trust me, I've tried almost everything over the years with all my kiddos, these are straight gold.
I have a few kids, all spread apart from adults to a baby. I have learned over the years and researched as much as possible on items. I was trying to stay focused on buying what I need and not just a want because it can be wasted money. I hope this helps anyone with the search! I look for saftey, price, durability, something we would actually use and ratings as much as possible.

the classroom tools occupational therapists tend to reach for when a kid needs to move to learn: wiggle chairs, chair bands for bouncy feet, weighted and compression vests, pencil grips, slant boards, a vibrating pillow and fine motor tools. great for iep and 504 conversations too. every kid's sensory needs are different, so loop in your kid's ot, especially for weighted gear (:
