The products I share are designed to support this positive behavior approach, aiding parents and caregivers in nurturing good behavior and personal development in an effective manner.

Preparing for a baby is daunting, there are so many options and you don't know where to start. Start with this list because these are things I used and I don't regret a single one.

From island sunshine to Disney days, l've compiled a list of stroller items that have been life savers for us particularly as we've travelled from the Caribbean to Orlando several times🌴🏰. Everything on this list is something I’ve actually used during our Disney trips with little ones. My stroller of choice is the GB Pockit compact stroller because it is the easiest to fold when you're getting on the bus to Magic Kingdom! All the items here work with the pockit stroller. I recommend them from personal experience. Hope it helps your family enjoy the magic without the stress! ✨

Surviving Toddlerhood Starter Pack

As a mom to neurodivergent kids, I have learned they sometimes like toys that are a little less traditional. One of my boys is on the spectrum and another has ADHD.

These toys are seriously cool and everyone that comes to play at our house is amazed at these fun toys!
