For the kids with the “do it myself” attitudes. Fiercely seeking independence, but still in need of our arms to gently fall back into. I have two of them. Eight years in, I’ve realized setting them up for full household participation has played a huge role in building their self confidence, sense of self in the family, essential life skills; and has helped take take off my personal mental load.

I have 3 kids. These are my favorite, baby essentials I have in my house.

I rounded up the most adorable and stylish, swim and summer outfit picks for baby boys, toddler girls and little boys (6/7).

My child is very smart which makes it hard to find gifts that they will enjoy but also age appropriate. I'd done a lot of searching to make sure the gifts wow and get played with.

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 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.

Its important to have a variety of toys and items for them to play with so that they don't get board or over stimulated.

🪀🧩 this is a good mixture of fidgets + slimes + sensory items that are on, my own wishlist and things that I do have/have tried.

From squishy and soothing to clicky and satisfying, these toys are perfect for calming nerves, boosting concentration, or just adding a bit of fun sensory play into any moment.

My favorite things are the little essentials that bring simplicity and joy to my daily routines.

They remind me that sometimes, small comforts and smart solutions are the keys to making every day smoother, more enjoyable, and truly special.
