As a mom, I always look for baby clothes that are soft, safe, and easy to wash. These are my favorite picks for baby girls and boys — comfy for daily wear and still super cute for photos!

Trendy and cute clothing any little girl would love to wear. These are my fave trendy but still neutral and classic finds at my most shopped stores:) I don't see a need to buy expensive clothing because my girls DESTROY their clothing when they play hard. These options are cheap and adorable. FYI: Always check reviews for sizing tips but I have found that Walmart's clothing usually runs a little big. Target is TTS. Old Navy & Gap is pretty TTS. H&M definitely runs big.

My niece has recently been put in a Spica Cast and after research and trial and error, here are the things we have found that has helped the most!

Everything I’m using to remineralize my baby’s teeth and reverse decay. I went down a deep rabbit hole on this, so this is THE line up!

This is what I’ve been using consistently, and have seen great results with!

Being a mom is my most important job and it's also where I spend the most of my "fun money"!

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.

Practical, affordable daycare essentials that have been tried, tested and loved by both my boys.

I don't have kids but loads of my friends do - buying for Christmas and Birthdays used to terrify me but I soon worked out what works, hopefully someone who buys for kids but doesn't have any themselves might find this useful for ideas. I try and stick away from the things that parents and family members usually but for their own kids, like branded toys and usually stick to educational gifts and kits. I also buy gifts that hopefully my friends appreciate too - activity based kits can be very helpful for school holidays.

A few years ago, we threw the twins a Peter Rabbit themed party. These are some of the amazing decor pieces we bought! We focused on turning the house into Mr. McGregor's garden.

The Samaritan's Purse mission is for every child to know that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Your shoebox will be an expression of God's love to a child and may be the only gift he or she receives. So plan to pack quality items that will last. Be sure to make them FUN, adding a “wow” item and new toys a child will love; FULL, with no empty space; and PERSONALIZED so that each is unique and prayed over and includes a note of encouragement.

We've added to the collection over the years & our kids each have their own collections to pass down to their kids.
