I know how hard it can be to buy for our children sometimes. I mean to find things they actually love can be so hit and miss. Here are my recommendations for things my 6 year old son is currently loving. Hopefully this will help you when it comes to buying something for a 6 year old.
Here are some must haves in our diaper bag as a mom of 3 boys. I have learned a thing or two using the wrong products or not being prepared and having certain things on hand to make traveling with a baby easier on the family and myself.
Being a mom is my most important job and it's also where I spend the most of my "fun money"! When I was making my registry for my baby shower, all my friends copied my list because they knew I had been super thorough and done the most reserch. I'm happy to share all the tools and tricks I've learned so far in motherhood, we're a village for a reason!
Let's get our littles off the screen, and developing those brains! Here are some of our favorite activites to keep our kiddos engaged throughout the day.
If you’re a FTM trying to exclusively pump and don’t know where to start, I’ve got you covered! These products have made my life so much easier! From traveling needs to at home stocking supplies.
This is everything I brought to the hospital and loved, or something I plan to pack next time!
Items to add: birthing plan, ID/insurance card/wallet, toiletries (and makeup if that’s your vibe), favorite snacks, electrolyte drink (Gatorade, liquid IV, etc)
Flying with a little one can be overwhelming for sure but here are things that I used and tested on multiple flights that helped me and mine along our travels!
These are different baby items that are a must, especially my first time moms who don’t know what’s really necessary or not. I hope this list helps moms not spend so much on unnecessary item when these are all you need.
If you are a new breastfeeding mom, this is my list of holy grails! Each of these items helped me so much during my breastfeeding journey. I hope they can help you too!
Each baby, it seems like I bring less and less in my hospital bag. I also now know what my hospital provides and what they don’t, so I know what can just stay at home. I personally don’t need to bring any postpartum care items for myself or any diapers/wipes for baby. I plan on bringing the bare minimum this time!
These are our must haves for bath time! We used to have a baby who hated bath time so we have to fly though it just to get it done. These items have made bath time last longer and so much more fun for her and for us! If you have a little one you need these! 🛁🫧
My boys always need to be busy and doing something with their hands. The older one is always outside building things (forts, fortresses, holes, weapons..etc). The younger is great with fidgets, magic, and baseball. This is all their favorite things.

i’m not going to lie, before my baby was born i was very much in the camp of “i don’t want a lot of baby toys all around”. i still don’t. but my baby loves these and i love my baby so…
5 years ago I was a first-time mom looking up toys and items that were trending, but once my child was diagnosed with autism, I realized I didn't need any of the trendy items I purchased. I needed items that would support my child in his development and sensory needs. We have tried many items, some better than others. Here's my list of must-haves and how they have supported my child. I hope to give you ideas on how you can support your child with items and toys that have a purpose.

I have a tween daughter who is obsessed with Hello Kitty. These are some of her favorite items - a few we have, a few are on her wish list, but all of them are sure to be adored by anyone who is a Hello Kitty fan.
I hated cleaning bottles and then sterilizing them the old fashion way, as a working mama it was just a lot and I felt like I was missing time with my kids. So I found things to make it easier for me and I got to enjoy more time with my kids instead of standing over a pot or sink.
I had my first baby in June of this year (2025). Initial postpartum had me in an absolute chokehold! Here are a few recs that made those first few weeks survivable.
This is my in-depth list of all the baby items you might need for that 1st year or 2 of parenthood. I’ve spent so much time curating this list. Some items you may not need depending on your lifestyle. These are all items I’ve enjoyed using at home or as a nanny to 4 boys.

Things I recommend for twin mamas. Most momfluencers aren’t twin moms so I’m trying to help any pregnant twin mamas with recommendations that I’ve researched and purchased for myself to make taking care of twins a little bit easier.
All items I used, or know people have used that were just amazing and made things so much easier ! All recommendations, as I know everyone's taste is different!
I am a mama of two girls, ages 2 and 5, and they are my little besties! It's an absolute dream come true to dress up my daughters and I plan on matching them until they tell me to stop! As much as we are girl's girls here and love the occasional sparkle & frill, the overall theme of our closet is practical comfort. We're talking cute and easy to wear and affordable because we've all seen a baby blowout and a toddler kid eat a an ice cream cone. My favorite places to shop for my kiddos is Gap & Target but I have included all of my other brands styles and looks. As a new mom it was very overwhelming to be inundated with so many gifted clothing and recommendations, so for my second I was very specific in what was passed down, passed up and repurchased. I hope this list helps!
I’m a mom of four and a former elementary teacher, so I live right in that sweet spot between what kids are obsessed with and what parents actually feel good buying. I’ve shopped for Swiftie birthdays, holidays, and “just because” moments, and I know how tricky preteen tastes can be—too babyish isn’t cool, but too grown-up isn’t right either. These picks are fun, age-appropriate, and genuinely exciting for Swiftie preteens, not just trendy for five minutes. If it made my own kids light up or passed my teacher-mom test, it made the list.
as a first time mom with a 9 month old, i was overwhelmed with all the items everyone says you HAVE to have for baby… but these are the items i ACTUALLY used/still use.
My little one loves cars so of course his room is decorated with cars items! I love going all out for his space, so here are items to help you create the best room for your little one
As a first time mom some recommendations weren’t necessary or my baby didn’t use them. this list are all of my must haves as a mom and i’m sharing them for other first time moms. 🥰
My favorite products I use daily. I'm a 19-year-old first-time mom so I did a ton of research on the best quality products you need. Some of these products you don't need for a newborn but they're convenient for me. I'm still new to this but these have worked for me so far and I think new moms would find this helpful. I wish you the best of luck if you're a new parent!!
These things are what kept me going and sane that first 0-2 yrs of being a mom! Some of these were more to help anxiety, some were practical things I found. But all were and most still used even now!
Being a mother is such a blessing, but it can also feel scary, overwhelming, and new. This list contains just a few things that helped me feel a little more prepared, a little less in pain, and a lot more sane:)
As a new mom, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the baby gear out there. This list includes my top must-haves—practical, helpful items I’d definitely get again to make those early days easier and more manageable.
These are must-haves for pregnant and nursing moms! Making life easier and more tolerable during one of the most beautiful yet tiring times of our lives. These recs are ones I've personally used and will recommend time and time again. Helping everywhere from beginning of your pregnancy journey all the way into the depths od
Being a first-time mom means testing a lot of baby products—some hits, some misses! These are the ones that stuck and are still part of our daily routine. Sharing them here in case they save you a little trial-and-error too and maybe give you some peace of mind that it doesn’t have to be complicated :)
As a first-time mom, finding the right baby products can feel overwhelming. These are my absolute favorites—products I trust, use daily, and genuinely recommend.
Some really great and fun arts and crafts essentials/kits that kids and adults can enjoy doing. A fun way for kids to express themselves and get away from digital devices now and then. We need more arts in kids lives.
