I started my baby registry when I was 3 months pregnant. As it's my first pregnancy, I want to make sure I get everything right. What started out as a list for myself turned into a HUGE list that (thankfully) I'm blessed to have help with. All these items are extensively researched and things I've actually purchased and tried out (to the best of my ability since baby boy is not here yet!) Hopefully, they help you build your registry!
Why not start being inclusive with books, and toys, things that children will naturally play with, and include in their everyday life. Before you know it, they'll be building Lego ramps and looking for elevators in doll houses!
These are some of my favorite products that I used before, after and during my pregnancy. I tried to stay the more natural route and found these products to be so helpful!
Everything you need to survive (and even enjoy) the newborn stage. Practical, comforting, and mom-approved essentials that make a big difference in those early days.

Trust me, as a 2-time c-section mom of Irish twins, these are the items you’re going to want on your bedside cart after your c-section. Whether you’re preparing for a scheduled section or you can out of birth with an unexpected c-section, these items will help make the recovery process so much easier 🤍
Carters is always my favorite for kids. Their clothing doesn’t fade and withstands the mess toddlers make. They do not have tags on their clothes which helps comfort for sensory seeking children and they’re always sending coupons and promos to my email
Making the a little more special with the little things. Easy downtime activities that keep kids entertained and helps rest their bodies during the busy time.
For the pregnant mamas who are struggling, no matter which trimester (they're all rough and special) here are some things that helped me during my first pregnancy.
Why is it so hard to stick to a budget at Christmas? Every year I set one, and every year I blow right past it 🙃.

Everything is from Walmart + Target (so no endless scrolling a dozen websites), and I update this list each season to keep it fresh. Think of it as your shortcut to thoughtful, affordable gifting without the budget hangover.

We don't let our kid have lots of screen time but also, she's a very outdoors kid naturally and refuses to be inside if she can :) when we're inside, we try to put on things that we can possibly all engage in or where we are singing/learning songs together. We also don't want to see uncomfortable subject matters if possible and focus on learning matter, like language or pre-school learning. Hope any of this helps when you need!

These are my all-time favourite products for the first year of baby’s life, with a few that are useful for even longer! We love longevity ⏰
🕵️♀️ One of my favourite ways to shop for my baby was secondhand, so while I did include a few clothing items, keep in mind that most of her wardrobe came from the thrift store or FB marketplace—which is why a few items have a higher price point. They’re high quality pieces that were worth the investment 100%. Some of them are also from small shops, so you’re supporting an individual or family with your purchase.
💻 I’ve also included some social media resources that were very helpful for me in the trenches of those first couple years. Most are certified in their field and also offer services; many are also authors and podcasters.
This is what lives in my car at all times—for blowouts, meltdowns, snack emergencies, and general chaos. It’s not glamorous, but it's saved me more times than I can count.

As the saying goes there is no manual, no book, no follow along tutorial to raise healthy little humans. We all make mistakes as we go along this journey called parenthood. The important part of the journey is as long as we can learn from our mistakes and aim to bring out the best version of ourselves as parents, we will bring out the best version in our little humans. I believe it is possible. A little love goes a long way. Here is what I have learned along the way and still keep on learning.
when I was at college, my mom would always send me care packages- usually on holidays, but especially when I was sick. these are some things she would send, and I really appreciated! some items were necessities that I would never personally think to buy, and some were just things to make me smile 🥹 I always loved getting a package from a loved one at college, or just when I live long distance. so if you’re seeing this, its your sign to send someone you love a care package 💌

Our daughter and nieces and nephews are older now, 21 of course :) so it was fun to try and celebrate with them but we also know they'll be out testing the water with friends and later after the birthday, they'll slowly go out if they aren't already. With these gifts, it wasn't only ‘fun props’ that I wanted to give but other items for them to be safe during these times, some for comfort and some for play. All these are good for any age and for anyone with older goods, good luck! Happy 21st 😍
