Pregnancy has been kicking my butt. And thankfully, there are lots of products out that make the process of growing a little human relatively easier. Things I've added here for during pregnancy are things I swear by and use all the time. Things I've added for post pregnancy are things I've researched and have gotten myself for when the baby gets here and I need to get back to being me(ish). I also added a couple of places I like to go to during my pregnancy.

Montessori is hands on, teaches one how to be well-rounded, promotes independence, and freedom. These are different recommendations whether they be educational for the parent or the child.

Breastfeeding and pumping is hard! You always worry if you are making enough milk. If you are worried, here are some products that will help boost your supply so you can create some extra milk for baby to plump them up or to have extra on hand for date night or to go back to work. These are the products I used throughout the years as I breastfed and pumped for my 3 boys.

These are some of my son’s FAV most reached for toys at the moment!

Whether you’re a first time mom or doing it all over again, breastfeeding comes with its own set of challenges, and the right products can make a huge difference.

From nipple care to hands free pumps and must have nursing gear, these items are all about making your feeding experience smoother and more manageable.
