Playrooms can be a huge value add for a vacation rental, but they can also add stress if furnished with too many messy toys.

These toys are some of our favorites in our vacation homes!

Let me help build your registry from a mom of 1 pregnant with her 2nd. These are my MUST HAVES. Organized by categories such as feeding, nursery, gear, etc.

Let's be honest: there are way too many "must have" baby items being shoved in our faces. By the time we were pregnant with our first, I was determined not to take on the unnecessary junk that would just take more precious room in our already too-small dwelling.
To start, I made a strategic registry... Like there was not a single onesie to be found. Let me tell you, if there's a onesie on the registry, some Great Aunt Ruth is going to get it. Even if it isn't on the registry, trust me, there will be at least five onesies gifted. That's why I only put the essentials. We even had cloth diapers, and someone BOUGHT THEM. Honestly that alone saved us thousands.
So take a look at my list. Now as a mom of three, I stand firm in this decision. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
This is baby #3 for me and all things on my actual registry from an experienced mom:) I hope this helps! You donโt always need the more expensive things especially when quality is the same or the pricier things wonโt be used like you think they will. They definitely look cool though!
