One of my favorite books as a child was a book of nursery rhymes. My favorite being little boy blue. There was something so comforting about not wanting to disturb a peacefully sleeping child. Hopefully when my kids are grown, I’ll have the opportunity to use this list to plan a baby shower for a new baby boy. 🥰
My daughter is a Thanksgiving baby, and is turning 3. My husband's birthday is 2 days before hers. To beat the hectic season, we threw her a birthday 2 weeks early. All she asked for was an Elsa birthday. I needed to keep it easy and festive, so we chose cupcakes at the park. I also served juice, uncrustables, applesauce packets, and an array of cracker/chip options. All the kids had a good time.
Here you can find the items I purchased to make sure this simple celebration still had sparkle!

If you're looking for dependable ways to keep your household active and entertained all year round, these are my top tried-and-tested recommendations!
As a mother of 2.5, these are the things I’ve found essential. Diapers can go in the trash, wipes don’t need to be warmed (you wont be having warm wipes in town on the changing table), babies like different nipples and binkys (its a trial and error thing), everyone and their dog will bring you blankets, you car seat and stroller depend on your life style.. and everything else is take it or leave it.
When I first found out I was going to be a mum I was sooo overwhelmed with everything you have to buy. I had no idea what was worth it and what wasn’t necessary. I have definitely learned newborns don’t need as much as people say! So I’ve put together this list everything that I recommend for the first 3 months!
Mom, baby, birth, breastfeeding. Allll of my recs in one place. I try to use mostly non-toxic ingredients, and high quality products but also keep budget in mind. Some items are worth splurging on while others are not—and the ones listed here are the ones I prefer!
I breastfed my first baby for a year and the second baby going strong almost 6 months now. With my first I was working full time so my recs include those of the working mom too!
Both my babies had tongue, lip, and buccal oral ties and released at 10 days old. The bottles and pacifiers are what we found to be most beneficial for them in dealing with that.
I hope this list can offer you some cute, fun and useful ideas for you and your babies!
