After turning one, I realized how many baby products quietly phase out — and how few things actually stick.

Hey! Unashamed Disney adult here! We went to Walt Disney World in October for my daughter’s first trip and, of course, I had to get Disney pajamas for her for each night of our vacation. Not only do I love to shop, but I really just love to build up anticipation ahead of special memories.

As a new mom I have some things I could absolutely not live without. These are my hands down non-negotiable items
I had so many items on my registry that I didn’t use or had to find an alternative product once our baby actually arrived because they did not work as expected or at all for our baby. After working with an IBCLC I learned so much about bottles, nipples, and pacifiers. I am also a little crunchy so glass bottles were a must for me as were herbal remedies to combat all the toxicity in the world.
I hope you love these things as much as we do!
Let your littles run wild, exolore the outdoors and bounce off the walls with our favorite parks and indoor play places in Denver, Boulder and Noco areas.

Bath time is so important for the little ones, not only because it helps them wind down, there are also cognitive and behavioral benefits to it.
