All the baby essentials I truly recommend 🤍 These are the items that made newborn life easier — practical, mom-approved, and perfect for first-time parents building their registry or shopping last minute.

These are the items I used and loved as a first time mom!

When you see that positive test for the first time, your going to have a huge range of emotions! Pregnancy isn't the same for everyone, always remember that. There's alot of things people don't tell you that I wish someone told me. It was full of mostly things that just didn't work for me or I didn't use period. I'm here to show you the things that helped me through all the stages up until preschool! The first advice I have is don't waste your money on a diaper genie!

I've been a mom since 2015 and my youngest was born in 2024. I know a thing or two and I've seen about everything there is to see when it comes to products for mom and baby. Here are all of my favorite things that I not only use(d) and loved, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have survived without them.

As a mom who started homeschooling when my son was in kindergarten, I understand how overwhelming it can be. My son is now in 2nd grade, and I've compiled a list of things that have made this experience much easier, especially when you're just starting out!!

These are just a few suggestions if you’re stumped about Christmas gifts that aren’t JUST toys. Because I don’t know about you, but we have enough toys. 😆

Take the guess work out of must have baby products. These are a cult classic!

Things that make life easier for my son and I 🩵

As a teacher, I have compiled a list of all the items I have at home when working with my children. I wouldn't be able to do much without them.

After living in the Twin Cities for over a decade—five of those as a parent and many before as a teacher—I’ve explored a lot of kid-friendly spots. From cozy coffee shops with play areas to massive playgrounds and hands-on museums, this area is packed with places where kids can burn off energy while parents actually enjoy themselves too. Some spots are perfect for a low-key morning with little ones, while others make for full-blown adventures that even older kids will love. I’ve been on both sides—coordinating field trips as a teacher and now chasing my own kids around—and I’m still finding new gems all the time! What I love most is how many different kinds of outings are possible here. There are spots where kids can climb, run, and explore freely, places designed to spark creativity and curiosity, and even restaurants and breweries that actually welcome families instead of just tolerating them. Whether you’re looking for an easy weekday outing, an indoor option for winter, or a way to make errands more fun, this list is packed with places that make parenting a little easier—and a lot more fun!

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.

My favorite items for parents who don't have $200 for a baby bouncer (no shade, just realism!)

Everything you actually need when you go out with your little one

Everything my toddler adores or makes life simpler!

This list includes everyday items that many first-time moms find helpful in the newborn stage and beyond. These are practical tools for feeding, rest, comfort, and daily routines — things that supported me as I learned on the go. A gentle starting point if you’re building your essentials without the pressure to buy everything at once.

We follow a lot of MONTESSORI METHODS at home: Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.

LOVE. EVERY. ITEM. ON. THIS. LIST. I can’t stress enough how amazing each of these items are. We have used every single one time and time again with both of our kiddos.

I have a very busy 4 year old boy, I do everything I can to utilize screens as little as possible, this is my time (and life) saving list of recs that literally save my day and allow me to actually drink my hot coffee in the morning! We are prepping for Pre-K also and there’s a handful of recs from his stem academy on my list as well!

Because even the sweetest big siblings get a little restless! These simple, screen-free activities keep toddlers engaged and happy during those short stretches when you’re tending to the new baby — giving you both a smoother transition into this new chapter.

As a mom of 2 (a boy and a girl), I quickly learned the things that were frivolous and just taking up space in my home vs. things I actually used for both my first and second children. The extra stuff can be fun, and go ahead and add those to your baby registry, but do not skimp on the must-have items.

[This list is a work in progress. ] A list of the products that I actually used and loved during my son's first year. Plus some of the tips and tricks that were essential for my survival and for my son to thrive.

When I was a child we had a lot of manners and values shown in the cartoons and then I had a child I found they remade all my classics into more modern version.

As a stay at home mom to a two year old and a baby under one I spend a lot of time at home and need to find ways to keep my toddler busy throughout the day. My son is super active so when it's too hot to make it to the park or go out we have to fill our time at home to help him stay busy.

These recommended books have been used to teach my now 5-year-old daughter and will be used to teach my now 11-month-old. They have been my go-to for many activities and help build vocabulary and sensory skills. My daughter has never not wanted to use these books, but found each of them interesting and fun. the colors are bright and the pictures are big and beautiful. Outside of using videos, these have been very helpful in retention/ reading and conversational skills. "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases."
