After 18 years of pregnancy and child rearing these have been my favorite baby items. Some things are more expensive than others. However, these items have lasted YEARS in comparison to other items.

After watching my son struggle to focus at school I decided to withdraw him and jump into homeschool. I knew he understood The curriculum they were doing at school because he was also doing it at home with no problem. So when I had multiple conferences with his teacher about him not being able to do his school work I decided it was time to do it myself. We are now a year into homeschooling and he is thriving. Sometimes school can be overwhelming for kids and it's not natural for them to sit down for 7 to 8 hours. I focus on a lot of interactive learning and it works well for my 2-year-old and my 6-year-old. I have listed some products that have really been key opponents to thriving in our homeschool experience.

We have lived in a few areas in the region and have explored many playgrounds. It’s the best thing to do for our littles on good weather days right?? Truly LIVE for playground season. We’re willing to travel too so some spots may be a little further out but WORTH it.
We went into parenthood committed to having limited toys, and trying to find ones that would grow and find new utility as our babe grows. It turns out that actual life has different ideas, so we definitely have more toys than we meant to, but we have found a few bangers that are getting great airtime throughout the months (and hopefully years)! Most of these have been used for 10-12 months.
Those first few weeks with a squishy amazing newborn - (that you just gave birth to you bad ass mom) - are rough!
