Now that my daughter is a year old, I’ve been reflecting on our baby shower and the gifts she got from the baby registry! Every gift was loved and cherished, but I’ve compiled the ones that I found most useful - new parents need all the guidance we can get!

My kids love to get into the craft supplies it gives me anxiety but its great to see them working their creativity to bring their vision to life. Here are some of the things I would recomend to get as supplies or kits to have activity to do together.
I recently had my second child, so you could say I know my way around newborn and baby products. Plus, as a shopping writer and editor for Today's Parent, U.S. News & World Report's 360 Reviews, Us Weekly, Business Insider, and many other sites, I know how to analyze quality baby and parenting buys.
Only sharing absolutely must-have products I SWEAR by. There are other must-have items that won’t make this list and that’s because I haven’t purchased a brand/product I liked enough to cosign and refer people to.
My twin boys are turning 2! Gift ideas can be hard. They are curious, running around, and need constant entertainment. I want to get a good variety of gifts for them to play with. Here are some things I think they will love that are developmentally on par!

I hope this helps one family starting potty training. We are just potty training our fist kiddo and it was a little scary when trying to find what we needed and what would work for our family. I am hear to say that when they are ready it is so much easier and smoother of a process!
One thing we love to do together is play board games and my oldest is getting to be the best age for that. My middle son is 4, and he needs some help sometimes but he still enjoys them all!
We've Homeschooled our Son for almost six years. He's currently in 7th Grade.

These are my favorite art supplies to keep on hand to keep the creativity flowing. Plus, you'll always have supplies on hand for those last minute school projects!

It is time for the kids to go back to school, why not send them in style! There are some really great clothes in this list that your kids are sure to love. They are at a great price and I always feel that it is important to send them off feeling as confident as possible!

I wish your babies the best school year and a safe one most importantly !

It can be overwhelming to see all of the homeschool supply hauls online, and figure out what you actually need for a successful school year.
