How many car seats and strollers do you really need? Well, that just depends on your lifestyle. I opted out of getting a full-size stroller with my first child and it's been the best thing I've done. Compact strollers have done the job and saved my back! Literally! The only heavy “stroller” I support is a wagon stroller that can be used for both kids.

Hope you love this list and if you are expecting congratulations!

Everything here has been tested and approved by a busy mom and a very opinionated toddler. Perfect for everyday use, travel, or keeping little hands happy at home.
We love bath time in our house! It’s a great way to let your littles get used to the water and work on independent play, case and effect, hand eye coordination, etc. There are a lot of great toys out there. One piece of advice is to shy from plastic toys that will gather mold quickly toys that spray water and that can’t be properly dried out.
As a SAHM of 6 maternity clothes can be so hard to find! You don’t want to drop a ton of money but you also do want them to be uncomfortable! I love finding fashion pieces that can even be used during postpartum too, cause lets be honest no one is coming home in they’re “normal” clothes after having a baby! These are my must haves that I have worn A LOT! 💋
The summer is hot and humid but we don't let that stop us for enjoying the outdoors. My kids love to play in all types of water and I enjoy a beverage on the patio in the evening.

I didn’t want to go the medication all the time route for teething and searched for more natural or cleaner options for medications. I also had a ton of Teethers that were given or recommended by my son’s physical therapist after we had his tongue tie released at 14 weeks old. She gave me many she uses to encourage tongue movement and exploration, as well as simply helping to relieve some teething pain and discomfort.
I am a boy mom through and through, I have 2 boys and 1 on the way…. AND im the only girl with 7 brothers. These are the toys that get us through all the age stages, the winter, spring, and summer, AND are hard to tear up.
If, like me, you love to give a Christmas gift hamper but get bored with the same old food selections, then making your own gift hamper can be a fun alternative. It works well with all ages and is especially great if you want to gift to a family group or a set of child siblings, as it can often be easier to find several smaller gift items than one large one. You can also tailor boxes to suit interests such as sports, movies or themes such as countries or cooking…the only limit on what you can do with gift hampers is your own imagination!
My spending aligns with my values (faith, family, health) and most of those values are more experience than product driven, but we still need to consume!
