I know there are a lot of people wanting to home-school these days, so I have come up with a list of online resources, free curriculum's, cheap curriculum's, workbooks, and educational toys. Most of the lists are for Pre-K and Kinder but some of the online resources go up to grade 12.
I have five kids of my own ranging in ages from 27 down to 10. So I have experienced a variety of kid products through the years and now I have my first grand baby to spoil. Here's a list of some of our favorite baby things that we would love to share with you!
My essentials for a new baby. I am a mom of an autistic 3 year old and a 20 month old (both boys). This is everything that got me through the hard parts. Also, it really does get better! So from one mom to another, hang in there! Sleep WILL come eventually.

Like adults, babies' skin must also be cared for from an early age, by using appropriate and hypoallergenic lotion, so that mothers don't regret it later.
Having a baby is so fun, but these have made it even more fun (and easier!!) These are baby products I have used the most (most of them everyday) in the first four months of motherhood.

Using a mix of interactive toys, songs, books, and apps made learning Spanish feel fun and natural for my kids instead of like a chore. The engaging songs and playlists helped them absorb vocabulary through repetition, while board books and flashcards reinforced everyday words with bright pictures they loved. Interactive toys and games — especially those that speak Spanish or turn learning into play — gave them confidence to repeat new words and phrases, and digital apps added an extra layer of excitement with colorful characters and simple lessons. Together, these tools created an immersive yet playful environment that kept them curious and excited about learning Spanish .
Different things baby related that I have used and loved throughout the stages of "baby"; starting at conception and going until toddlerhood.

I currently have a newborn and these are some of the things that I wish I would’ve had with my first son 10 years ago too! A lot of these things really help me minimize stress and be more present for my little one.
Its not over achieving! Its definitely doable and sets you up for success in potty training later on even if you are not able to ditch diapers just yet. Potty training under age two is all about elimination communication - that means parents watch the child’s cues and jump in with the potty! While you are at home you put the child in training underwear (not pull ups) watch and time them and put them on the potty. When you catch a pee or a poo in the potty make a big deal say good job, yay, you went pee pee in the potty etc and eventually it will click! After training both boys and girls - girls are a little easier because they talk sooner. That gives you an edge. However you can start before your child starts talking. It is not serious and it is not a flex but it is definitely possible to potty train your child before age 2! Try it and let me know how it goes
