I started my baby registry when I was 3 months pregnant. As it's my first pregnancy, I want to make sure I get everything right. What started out as a list for myself turned into a HUGE list that (thankfully) I'm blessed to have help with. All these items are extensively researched and things I've actually purchased and tried out (to the best of my ability since baby boy is not here yet!) Hopefully, they help you build your registry!
Going from an 11 year old to now 8 month old twins! If you are so overwhelmed with where to start on what to buy for baby, iv got you covered! Bought and tested 😌
BACK TO SCHOOL supplies that I love to restock our homeschool classroom with, but would be great for any teacher to use! most of these are supplies in bulk to stock up for the school year.
All of my tried and true favorites from my own experience being a first time mom and taking care of babies as a nanny! All Target links to make adding to your registry easy!
These are my top baby recs for you and baby from a physical therapist perspective. Let’s save your back while also encouraging baby’s proper motor development
Your baby rips off every hat within 30 seconds. You've bought four already and they're all sitting in a drawer. These are the ones my daughter actually kept on through park trips, beach days, and backyard chaos. Grab them before summer hits full force.
These are the items I ended up loving most as a first-time mom who was completely overwhelmed trying to build a registry. There’s so much out there, but these are the products that actually became part of our everyday routine and made life with a newborn feel so much easier.
If you're tired of pulling a fresh onesie on your baby only to have it soaked in drool or sweet potato within 30 seconds, I feel you. I went through so many flimsy bibs that did absolutely nothing before I started hunting for handmade ones that actually work. This list is for parents who are done doing four loads of baby laundry a day and want bibs that catch everything without looking like a plastic tarp. Took me months of trial and error so you can skip straight to the ones worth buying.
My kids were zombies by Wednesday, glued to tablets and arguing over whose turn it was on the Switch. I started a strict weekend-only video game rule and had to fill the void with stuff that actually kept them busy. If you're drowning in screen time guilt and your kids act like you're punishing them when you say go outside, here's everything I bought that made the transition way less painful than I expected.
Products for breastfeeding mommas, exclusive pumpers, and everything in between! These are my favorite products for making feeding and pumping a bit easier. It’s a full time job in itself, so anything to make it better on us Mommas is worth every penny!
Gift ideas for your little one(s) that will be fun, but also educational! Many of these toys are also on sale for Black Friday!
#blackfriday #giftideas #toddlertoys
I made a list of some toys we love and use in our home. These are also great for gift ideas as many are budget friendly! My favorite toys are ones that that encourage creative play and last throughout the years!
These baby toys will help entertain your little one as they start getting more mobile. Perfect for the living room so that you can do the dishes or cook dinner really quick!
BLW can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! These products really helped our journey. My final recommendation: get a dog. Clean up is 100 times easier. 🐾🤍
We always try and think outside of the box for trick-or-treaters and offer non-candy and even non-edible options. Partially for fun, and partially (or completely!) so every kid feels included.
Every weekday morning used to feel like a hostage negotiation — cereal too soggy, banana slices too thick, toast cut wrong. If you're a parent running on four hours of sleep trying to get food on the table before the school bus arrives, this is the lineup that finally made mornings survivable. Took me two years of burned toast and crying fits to figure this out so you don't have to.
As moms, we often forget to take care of ourselves. This list is not only for postpartum physical needs, but mental and emotional as well. Take care of yourself Queen. 🫶🏻

My 4-year-old was dragging dining chairs across the kitchen to reach the sink, and I kept waiting for the crash. Regular step stools were too bulky, too wobbly, or too heavy for little hands to move.

My first baby's milestones flew by and I barely documented anything. Blurry phone photos with no context, no record of when she rolled over or said her first word.

I personally like to buy my grandbabies “educational” toys. Growing up I had to use my imagination and pretend a lot. Outside play, riding bikes, playing in the sandbox, playing on the swing set, jump rope, board games and hop scotch. Electronics have taken over and I am seeing more gamers and couch potatoes. Here I'm recommending and reminiscing popular toys today and popular toys from back in the day.
