This is a list of my most used items and items I could NOT imagine myself not having as a new first time mom!

These items are some of the ones I used/use now on my sweet baby girls. There are also some similar items, and some good suggested ones as well. I have used them on both of my girls who have eczema and sensitive skin and I never had any issues so far. I am a minimalist, especially after my first daughter, we bought so many products that we never used or rarely used. We quickly adjusted with our second and only purchased the most important things to us and our baby girl. These are my recommends but in no way takes from the experience and excitement of a newborn baby. "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases."

Home Items I use everyday with a baby

Resources and products that I've used with children to develop their social-emotional development. These can help introduce children to mindfulness and benefit their overall mental health and wellbeing.

Finding toys that reflect the full spectrum of human experiences has gotten so much easier in recent years, and it makes me ridiculously happy to see it! As a former teacher and now a parent, I know how powerful it is for kids to see themselves—and their friends—represented in the toys they play with. From dolls with cochlear implants, limb differences, and vitiligo to playsets that feature characters with disabilities, these toys help normalize diversity in a way that feels natural and joyful. Kids don’t just learn through books; they learn through play, and having options that reflect real people is such a game-changer. What’s exciting is that these aren’t just niche products anymore—they’re showing up in mainstream toy aisles and big-name brands, making them easier to find than ever. Whether it’s a wheelchair for a favorite doll, a figurine with a visible disability, or a playset that includes a character with a mobility aid, these small details can make a huge impact. And honestly, I’m still discovering new ones right alongside you! If you’ve come across a favorite disability-inclusive toy, I’d love to hear about it. The more representation out there, the better!

These are every day things I use to make our life easier! As a mom of 4, having these available has helped tremendously.

All kids are different but here’s what mine likes (he’s a 1-yr-old toddler who loves to move, play with cars, and get cozy)

I'm basically the go-to person in my friend group for baby gifts because I'm OBSESSED with making personalized stuff for new moms.

This list has all the designs and blanks that get the best reactions, whether I'm making something for a friend's baby shower or creating listings for my shop.
