I've hosted quite a few birthday parties for my son, and goodie bags are an important part of the fun! If they are really good, you can give them out an hour before parents pick up their kids and they have time to play with the stuff. Birthday Favor bags don't have to be full of junk… they can be really good and full of stuff for the kids to do, things for the kids to trade, and stuff to munch on. Here is a list of some of the ideas I've had over the years that turned out to be a hit! Birthday loot for an older girl's or boy's birthday party. I will add to this list if I remember anything!!

Some of my ride or die products that are making recovery smoother

When I was pregnant with my son and building my registry, I remember thinking to myself “what do I actually need? What will the hospital give that I can take home?”. Here are some of my all-time favorites that I will have on stock during my next postpartum experience!

Yes, you need to add toys to your registry! Often forgotten but you will be using toys and trying to entertain baby before you can blink! Not only is it fun but it’s great for their growth and development.

I know, I know the baby stuff is adorable!!! But it will soon take over your house and leave you feeling overwhelmed- save your sanity and your money- these are my TRIED and TRUE baby must haves after experiencing the newborn + baby stage 5 times in 13 years.

When I made my registry, I added so many things I never actually used. This list is the baby gear that truly made life easier — no fluff, just the affordable essentials I’d recommend to any new mom. Think of it as the registry I wish I had the first time around!

This list is great for ideas for a little one's first birthday! It consists of items that will grow with your toddler and can be used year after year. Their first birthday all the way to their 2nd birthday comes with LOTS of learning and growth. The difference from that first birthday to their second birthday is huge and bittersweet. I hope this list makes it a little easier to decide what to get them.

These are items my family loves to play with outside in the Summer that I hope yours will too!

All the cute, girly finds that we love to add to my daughter's closet. As a mom of three, I look for quality, items that are affordable or have coupons available and still trendy!!

Back-to-school season sneaks up on me every single year, so I built the one list I wish I'd had: 100 finds that knock out the whole checklist in one sitting. I organized it the way you actually shop — backpacks first, then leakproof lunchboxes and water bottles, the classroom supply list, locker and desk organization, and the study and tech gear that makes homework time so much smoother. There's something here for every stage from kindergarten to college move-in, and most picks are budget-friendly enough to stock up for more than one kid. Save this list before the supply-list emails start rolling in — future you will thank you.

As a new mom I have some things I could absolutely not live without. These are my hands down non-negotiable items I had so many items on my registry that I didn’t use or had to find an alternative product once our baby actually arrived because they did not work as expected or at all for our baby. After working with an IBCLC I learned so much about bottles, nipples, and pacifiers. I am also a little crunchy so glass bottles were a must for me as were herbal remedies to combat all the toxicity in the world. I hope you love these things as much as we do!

as always, a lot of unnecessary items are pushed on new moms. these are the things i loved and would actually recommend to a friend who didn't want to waste money.
