After 18 years of pregnancy and child rearing these have been my favorite baby items. Some things are more expensive than others. However, these items have lasted YEARS in comparison to other items. I believe I have tried most items on the market wasting unnecessary amounts of money on things that were never used or lasted. Plus, they resell very well, excluding bottles.

Out here where life moves a little slower, I’ve learned to lean into toddlerhood with intention, patience, and a few trusty tools. These are the things that help me raise secure, joyful littles—products I actually use and love as a country mama. From soothing teething remedies to open-ended toys and parenting books that shift your whole mindset, here’s what we keep close.
As a mom of two, I have noticed that Christmas of all the holidays is the most commercialized, with cheap plastic crap that often gets discarded or broken before we are back to school.
So, I began to think about classic ways to make Christmas more meaningful by shopping small, shopping slow, and being more intentional. Here are my top recommendations. Share yours in the comments.
Being pregnant in a larger body brings some challenges that no one really talks about. Here are some of the things that got me through pregnancy and post-partum!
As a mother of a toddler girl, and teenage son, with nieces and nephews of all ages… I picked up a thing or two to find out what worked for me. Take a look!
Practical, gentle guidance for keeping your home safe and comfortable with a newborn—without the pressure of perfection. From simple resets to decluttering tips all while prioritizing rest and sanity in early stages of motherhood.
If, like me, you love to give a Christmas gift hamper but get bored with the same old food selections, then making your own gift hamper can be a fun alternative. It works well with all ages and is especially great if you want to gift to a family group or a set of child siblings, as it can often be easier to find several smaller gift items than one large one. You can also tailor boxes to suit interests such as sports, movies or themes such as countries or cooking…the only limit on what you can do with gift hampers is your own imagination!
Each year, this list feels like more than just supplies—it feels like preparation for another season of growth. Two sets of shoes a little bigger than last year, two backpacks ready to carry not just books, but big feelings, hard lessons, and sweet victories.

Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on. I can’t wait for her to get her own and girly tonies 🥹 so worth the investment 🫶🏼
