This list includes everything in my hospital bag, focused on natural, nontoxic, and genuinely useful items. I organized everything in packing cubes to make it easy to grab what I needed in the moment: one for labor and delivery, one for postpartum, one for snacks, and one for filming gear and chargers. Take what resonates for your own birth experience and skip what doesn’t. Hopefully this helps you pack your own bag with a little more ease and a lot more intention.

Montessori toys aren’t just wooden toys or neutral aesthetics—they’re thoughtfully designed tools that introduce one new skill at a time. A true Montessori material “isolates the difficulty,” meaning it limits frustration, builds confidence, and helps a child master a specific concept before moving on to the next. When a toy is designed this way, kids learn naturally through repetition, problem-solving, and joyful independence. Both of my kids attend Montessori school, and it has completely shaped the way I look at toys and learning at home. When you choose Montessori-aligned toys, you’re choosing items that meet your child exactly where they are developmentally—supporting real concentration, real skill-building, and real confidence. This guide highlights toys and materials that follow those principles, spark curiosity and actually get used day after day.
I nanny for two baby boys (as well as some older kids here and there) and they have some sick toys! I think I enjoy playing with these more than they do. If you have a baby or toddler in your life, you can definitely find something for them here.

We've Homeschooled our Son for almost six years. He's currently in 7th Grade.
