As a first time mum and interior designer, I have had so much fun designing my first child's nursery. After a lot of research, mood boards and discussions, we have decided to opt for a sky themed nursery for our little boy. It's fun, sparks the imagination, should be something he still loves in a few years and it's also super peaceful - somewhere that I'll enjoy hanging out myself for those night time feedings. If you're looking for some nursery inspiration, here are the items we bought for our beautiful vintage sky-themed nursery

Here is my shppping list this Christmas for my 3 kiddos! We have a 6 month old girl, and two boys, 7 and 9 so a wide range in ages! Christmas has been hard this year for me to come up with ideas so I wanted to share what I found in case anyone else is struggling like I am to find the perfect gifts! 🎁
Preparing for a baby can feel overwhelming, but focusing on the basics makes it a lot easier to get started without overbuying. At the top of the list are feeding essentials, which you’ll use constantly from day one. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, or doing a mix of both, having a good supply of bottles, burp cloths, and bibs makes life much smoother. A bottle brush and drying rack also come in handy for keeping everything clean, especially during those frequent middle-of-the-night feeds.
Sleep is another big priority, since newborns spend most of their time resting. A safe sleep space like a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress and fitted sheets is essential. Many parents also rely on swaddles or sleep sacks to help babies feel secure and sleep more comfortably. A baby monitor can give you peace of mind, letting you keep an eye on your little one while they’re in another room.
Diapering quickly becomes part of your daily routine, so having everything ready ahead of time is a must. You’ll need diapers in a couple of sizes since babies grow fast, along with wipes and a good diaper cream to help prevent irritation. A changing pad makes diaper changes easier and more hygienic, whether you’re at home or setting up a small changing station. A diaper pail or covered trash bin is also helpful for controlling odor.
Bath and hygiene items don’t need to be complicated, but they do need to be gentle. A baby bathtub, soft washcloths, hooded towels, and mild baby soap are usually all you need for the first several months. Tiny nails grow fast too, so baby nail clippers or a file are important to keep scratches under control. Clothing-wise, simple basics like onesies, sleepers, socks, and a few seasonal layers will cover most situations without overfilling the dresser.
Finally, a few extras can make daily life a little easier when you need your hands free. An infant car seat is non-negotiable for safe travel, and a stroller or travel system helps when you’re out and about. Items like a baby swing, bouncer, or pacifiers can be helpful for soothing, depending on what your baby likes. You don’t need everything at once, but starting with these essentials helps you feel prepared without going overboard.
Motherhood can be overwhelming, especially as a ftm trying to figure out what to buy and what not to buy. After some trial and error I have finally found items that I love and use daily!
These are my tried and true baby items. I’m a mom of three who has gone through more than enough strollers, car seats and baby items! 🫣 These are my favorites that I’d buy over and over again.
I was shocked too when I found out Home Depot sells toys. I love that most of their toys are interactive, spark learning and help with fine motor skills.
These items have made our BLW journey so wonderful! Especially for those mamas out there that want to batch cook & freeze some things, or pack some on-the-go foods.

As a mom of 3 boys. I have had 3 completely different births! So I learned a thing or two the hard way. These are my must haves if I were to ever have another baby for the hospital and after birth care.
We live in a small house and have two littles so we have to be smart about what we buy. This is my personal list of the all-time favorites products and gear I’ve actually used, loved, and would recommend to any new parent. From the gear that saved my sanity during midnight feedings to the soothing must-haves my babies adored, these are the items I’d buy again without hesitation. Many are nontoxic and organic!
As a second-time mom, I’ve learned what actually matters, but I still love being prepared for every scenario (so yes, I overpacked just a little). This list includes everything in my hospital bag, focused on natural, nontoxic, and genuinely useful items. I organized everything in packing cubes to make it easy to grab what I needed in the moment: one for labor and delivery, one for postpartum, one for snacks, and one for filming gear and chargers. Take what resonates for your own birth experience and skip what doesn’t. Hopefully this helps you pack your own bag with a little more ease and a lot more intention.
Babies need so many with things and with so much on the market, it can feel overwhelming. These are some of my favorite items that I’ve used within the last year with my newest baby. Some are new finds and some I used 4 years ago with my first baby & loved so much that I used them again.
