Our home is small and we don’t have space or money to purchase ALL the newborn stuff. Here is what we used and loved!

As a new mom I have some things I could absolutely not live without. These are my hands down non-negotiable items I had so many items on my registry that I didn’t use or had to find an alternative product once our baby actually arrived because they did not work as expected or at all for our baby. After working with an IBCLC I learned so much about bottles, nipples, and pacifiers. I am also a little crunchy so glass bottles were a must for me as were herbal remedies to combat all the toxicity in the world. I hope you love these things as much as we do!

I have bought a lot of educational toys that got opened once. These 25 are the ones my kids come back to on their own, and they are genuinely learning while they do it. Ages three to ten. (Note: This list contains affiliate links, and I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.)

Basically, things our 4-year-old has seen and said, “I want that!” Toys, books, clothes, and all the little things she’s currently loving.

Cloth diapering favorites we actually use and love 🤍 I prioritize natural fibers like organic cotton, but I also use microfiber inserts when they make sense for our routine. And on days when cloth just isn’t doable, we reach for eco-conscious disposables like Hiro — designed to break down with fungi instead of sitting in landfills for decades.I’ve used cloth diapers daily and tested what actually works (and what doesn’t). If you’re overwhelmed, this is the exact setup I use that made cloth diapering simple and doable. No fluff — just real products that held up through daily use, leaks, and laundry routines.

Why are fine motor skills important? They're connected to writing, reading, mathematical skills later on. Have you ever seen a child cry because it's taking too long to cut the paper? Have you see a learner frustrated because they can't quite hold the pencil up to write the two words on the paper? Give your learner a little boost and help them build their fine motor skills early. *Fine motor skills are a HUGE factor in the achievement gap come first and second grade.
