As a busy mom of 3 plus being a night owl, these are few of my favorites that keep going throughout the day!

There's some new momma's out there that might not know what they may need for their toddler, here are some things I used that were MUST haves and/or game changing for me as a first time mom 🥰

Great recommendations from my experience as a parent of two small children- I had to learn much on the fly, so you don’t have to!

These are my go to items and places for back to school shopping!

My little dude won’t be wearing any of this because it’s still 90 degrees here in Miami, but if we were still living in Chicago, here are all of the things I’d buy him for fall from my favorite stores. I do love me some boutique clothes, but this one is for the mamas who are on a budget and want to save some coin while still dressing their boys well.

These are toys we either want or own that we use everyday! I look for things that are fairly open ended and will last us through the years. It’s especially important to me that the boys have access to toys that spark their imagination and creativity.

If your toddler loses interest in every toy after three minutes and you're running out of ways to keep them entertained without screens — this is the stuff I actually use. Shaving cream, food coloring, painting trays, and a few clever supplies turned our kitchen table into a sensory station that buys me a full cup of coffee. Took me six months of Pinterest fails to land on what actually works, so steal this list and skip the trial and error.

Carrying the chaos one oversized neon pool bag at a time. Any mom knows packing for a pool day is like an Olympic sport that you feel the need to pack everything but the kitchen sink. These are my go to things to let the tiny toes and you have some fun in the sun. ☀️

This list is packed with toys and items that have helped make having a toddler moee fun for her, and easier for me.

Every single evening turned into a negotiation with my 7-year-old about turning off the iPad — tears, bargaining, slamming doors. If you're tired of being the bad guy who manually shuts down devices while your kid acts like you cancelled Christmas, these are the products that quietly took over that job. Took me a full year of chaos before I landed on this setup, so steal it now before school starts back up.

Anything toddler or boy related. Perfect idea for anyone looking to buy for someone in the family or stuck on what to get your little boy for Christmas. These toys are fun, educational, and will keep them entertained.

Better choice options to beat the heat and protect your little one's skin!

As a mom to 3 under 3, these are my tried and true must haves for survival!

These board games engage the whole family and help get my kids off the screen and interacting with their family. We love these games for their simplicity but they are fun for everyone in our family.

Some of our favorite baby finds that we used with almost all three babies

Dressing a toddler for summer is less about outfits and more about laundry math: everything has to survive a playground, a splash pad and a food situation, then go straight into the wash. These are the pieces that do that, organized by category so you can restock the one thing you are short on instead of scrolling all of it. Tops and Bottoms lean on Simple Joys by Carter's multipacks, because the sizing runs consistent and buying in threes costs less per piece than replacing one at a time. Shorts is the Hanes pull-on jersey pair with no buttons or snaps, which matters a lot once a toddler is potty training. Swimwear is the Carter's rashguard set for sun coverage that stays on. Shoes is the Stride Rite Phibian, the one that goes from the splash pad to the car without squelching. Accessories is the reversible bucket sun hat with a back flap for necks that always burn first. Most picks run $12 to $30, and the multipacks bring the per-item cost down when you are dressing more than one kid. Made for first toddler summers, daycare packing lists, and grandparents keeping a spare set at their house. Save it before summer sizes sell out.

Okay, real talk: I am the dentist who feels completely out of his depth when a little one is poorly at 2am. In clinic I know exactly what to do, but at home, with a hot forehead and a blocked nose in front of me, I have googled the same thing three times and still panicked. So this is the calm, ready-to-grab kit I wish I had sorted before cold and flu season hit — gentle checks, soothing sips, soft comforts, and a few things for the tired grown-up on sofa duty too. Nothing here replaces a call to your own doctor or dentist if you are worried; this is just general guidance, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.

I love toys that stimulate brain development. Nothing is better to me than a toy that is STEM approved or serves a dual purpose for our kiddos. I also adore toys that keep their attention with minimal stimulation in the ways of lights and music… it’s what keeps my sanity in tact.

I love family time with my younger grandchildren . One of our favorite times together is making art projects. Here’s just a few of art things we love to do. I have also added art supplies as well. I love to see their smiling faces when their cute art projects are done. Priceless!!

As a first time mom, I love seeing all the cute clothes that I can put my baby and future kids in! I am absolutely obsessed with how cute the little clothes are!

Every night at 2am I was a zombie shuffling to the nursery, warming bottles with one eye open, wondering if I'd ever sleep again. If you're a new parent running on caffeine and desperation, these are the exact bottles, swaddles, sound machines, and sneaky little helpers that turned our 10pm dream feed into a full stretch of sleep. Took me four months of trial and error so you can skip straight to the good stuff.

As a first-time mom, putting together my daughter’s first birthday wishlist was surprisingly harder than I expected!

Do you have kids between the ages of 5 and 12? These are some items that help our family! I've curated a list from the toys, organization and cleaning supplies we use the most! My kids have a lot of energy so we have some energy busters in the toys. It took me awhile to figure out our household organization but the tools I've listed have really helped create a place for everything in our house, cutting down on clutter.

All the things that help when the kids are home 24/7 during summer and you're all just trying to make it to fall alive.

We were blessed with a sunroom when we moved into our home and it’s currently the kids playroom. I wanted to share all the things my kids have enjoyed over the years and are currently still using on the daily. These are great to keep them occupied and get their energy out, especially when going outdoors isn’t an option. I have a 4,6 and 8 year old but they have been using some of these things from 2 years.

I am all about supporting small businesses, and these handmade toys are not only created by talented small business owners…they are also absolutely adorable!

Every parent with a tablet-obsessed little artist has the same problem — hundreds of digital drawings saved in a cloud folder nobody ever opens. I wanted her art displayed like it mattered, not buried in a device. After months of trial and error with bad prints and flimsy binders, I finally nailed a system that makes her scribbles look like they belong on a coffee table. If you've got a kid who draws constantly and you're drowning in digital files, save yourself the headaches I went through.

I have a 12 year old daughter and she is a major girly girl!! She’s at the age where she wants clothes, makeup, hair products and accessories and we are just trying to keep up 🩷😂 young girls can be hard to figure out so this list might help make things a little easier for you in terms of what to buy and what she may want/like!

Screen free? Phone free? Trying to preserve childhood? I got you because.. me too! This is EVERYTHING I got my 9 year old for Christmas.

One day you're holding a tiny hospital bracelet and the next it's buried under junk mail in a kitchen drawer. If you're the parent who keeps finding precious little socks and ultrasound photos scattered everywhere with zero system — I spent way too long hunting down boxes that actually hold up and look beautiful. Grab one before the newborn fog makes you forget where you put everything.

I am a married single mother. IYKYK. This list is full of things that have helped me get through these first 7 months with my baby and 8 year old. Some of them are NEEDS. Some of them were WANTS. Regardless of the cost, cheap or expensive, these were the things that helped me the most to survive. When you read my list think minimal yet quality. I have the least amount of baby stuff but it will last and I can probably sell or donate most of it when I’m done with it because I bought/was gifted good quality items.

Every week my son came home missing a jacket, a lunchbox lid, or a water bottle. I was replacing the same things over and over and losing my mind. This is everything I use now to label his gear so it actually comes back home. If you're tired of writing your kid's name in Sharpie only for it to wash off by Tuesday, save yourself the headache.

If you're spending more time wiping sweet potato off the dog than actually eating dinner, this list is for you. I have a toddler who treats every meal like a food fight, and I was losing my mind scrubbing highchairs and mopping floors three times a day. These are the exact products that cut my cleanup time in half and let me actually sit down during meals. Took me a full year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

These are my tried and true finds that actually keep my toddler engaged for longer than 10 minutes. I am usually looking for easy clean up and things I can store easily as well as throw in my on-the-go toy bag. As a teacher I am also looking for educational toys. Many of these are used my early childhood educators and therapists in their sessions.

We love bath time in our house! It’s a great way to let your littles get used to the water and work on independent play, case and effect, hand eye coordination, etc. There are a lot of great toys out there. One piece of advice is to shy from plastic toys that will gather mold quickly toys that spray water and that can’t be properly dried out.

I put together this list of the best math toys and games for kids because learning math doesn’t have to feel like homework! These fun, hands-on educational toys turn skills like counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, fractions, money, and problem-solving into play. I looked for engaging math games, STEM toys, puzzles, and learning activities that kids will actually want to use—whether you’re helping a child practice math at home, looking for homeschool resources, or searching for a fun educational gift.
