Just when I had gotten rid of all of my baby/child stuff, I got pregnant with my daughter, 15 years after my son. This list is a compilation of things we have purchased and used with her. This list is being added to often.
My son is obsessed with his Dad--as most boys are. Always slipping into his work boots, and playing with his tools. Old Navy did a run of workwear for this fall and we are so into it. Durable Carhartt dupes and classics for my 3 year old son for the fall and winter.
I’ve officially graduated from the 'buy everything on the registry' phase to the 'only give me what actually works' phase. With four tiny humans under my belt, I’ve done the trial and error so you don’t have to. Whether you're a first-time parent or adding to your crew, here is the gear that survived the chaos of a big family.
These are items that we could not have lived without for our newborn baby girl. These products have all been used and worked wonders for our little family.
Those first few weeks with a squishy amazing newborn - (that you just gave birth to you bad ass mom) - are rough! These things definitely helped me feel better during a time I truly didn’t know what I would need. It is a whirlwind right after giving birth and anything you can do to ease your (mother)load is worth investing in!
I know how overwhelming it can be finding products babies actually use and need. I just want to share the items that truly bring me comfort, save time, and help both baby and I feel more at ease. These are items I & Willow reach for daily (products, toys, etc) I’m sharing them here in hopes they’ll make your journey a little smoother, too 💛

I want to make things easier for new mamas, so I have compiled this list of essential items that helped me so much throughout the newborn trenches and beyond. I hope you find this helpful!
This list contains everything I used for my son during his first year! I love all of these products, and they just enriched my entry to motherhood! Ahh, the memories! It's bittersweet!
