This list is something I feel super strongly about! Everyone argues about what you do and don’t need but I say if you even think for a second it’ll help you then girl you NEED IT! postpartum is such a trying and sometimes stressful time I think we owe ourselves some grace and we deserve to indulge in a few convenience items 🙌🏼

Being an aunt to both nieces and a nephew is amazing, but being the one who gets to buy the girls' outfits is even better! My sister was so impressed with the outfits I bought and said I can be the go-to for all the girly clothes. I’m excited to keep adding more to my collection.
It's challenging to know what you need for a baby and what is a luxury / a nice to have. I have been crafting my baby registry since well before I got pregnant. I curated a registry based on tons of research, tiktoks, and advice from mamas!
All things baby & toddler, whether it's things you'll need when breastfeeding, things you'll need when the baby arrives, or things you'll need for your toddler, this list is all of my favorite products!
These items were my favorite when my littles were young! Practical, wooden, durable, and mainly Melissa & Doug. They are great quality, and allow for teachable moments in the home!
I have a soft spot for stuffed animals because, deep down, I'm still a big kid at heart. I love looking for cuddly new animal friends to add to my collection! For baby and kids (at heart or not), fluffy stuffed animals are the best present you could offer!
Family-friendly activities in the Houston area. From immersive experiences and outdoor play to hands-on learning, these are spots your kids will love—and you just might enjoy too!

A refined list of FTM baby essentials, including feeding, sleeping, bathing, and things for you: the postpartum new mom. I personally, exclusively pumped, so this list is heavier on the pumping side.

Age appropriate recommendations for toddlers and school going kids
when I was at college, my mom would always send me care packages- usually on holidays, but especially when I was sick. these are some things she would send, and I really appreciated! some items were necessities that I would never personally think to buy, and some were just things to make me smile 🥹 I always loved getting a package from a loved one at college, or just when I live long distance. so if you’re seeing this, its your sign to send someone you love a care package 💌
Helpful items to have on-hand when starting practicum, fieldwork, internship, or your first year full-time! Always check with your placement first to see what materials they provide; many locations stock up on office materials, games, etc.
We've Homeschooled our Son for almost six years. He's currently in 7th Grade. There's been a lot of trial and error along the way, but the biggest success we've had is in following his interests and joy and letting him focus there. He loves gaming, parkour, jiujitsu, cooking and music. Below are some essential items that have supported our homeschool journey.
Social media is great but there are sooo many items people will tell you to buy that you don't need. This list some things we personally cannot live without.
I grew up in a house with 5 brothers and no sisters so I’ve always been surrounded by boy energy. Now, as a mom to two boys of my own, I love sharing toy finds that truly keep them engaged. We keep screen time limited to just twice a week, so anything I recommend has been thoroughly tried and tested to hold their attention for meaningful stretches of time. The more it sparks their creativity and imagination, the better.

If, like me, you love to give a Christmas gift hamper but get bored with the same old food selections, then making your own gift hamper can be a fun alternative. It works well with all ages and is especially great if you want to gift to a family group or a set of child siblings, as it can often be easier to find several smaller gift items than one large one. You can also tailor boxes to suit interests such as sports, movies or themes such as countries or cooking…the only limit on what you can do with gift hampers is your own imagination!
Not sure what will actually be useful for you when your bundle of joy arrives? Follow along and I’ll post my top recommendations for your baby registry!

“Welcome to Toys” has been a long standing joke in our home. For each birthday, we take our kids to have an experience as a family. When my oldest turned three, we went to an aquarium. It was an excellent experience and we had an absolute blast. At the end of the aquarium, there is a gift shop. My sweet three year old walked into the gift shop in amazement, opened her arms, and said “Welcome to Toys”. We all thought it was a hoot.
The items I could NOT live without as a mom of 2 boys 2 and under. You don't need a million items for your babies, but a select few will really make it easier as a new mom!

Breastfeeding comes with its own set of challenges, and finding the right nursing bra shouldn’t be one of them. When I first had my baby, I can't even tell you how many nursing bras I ordered and returned. It was SO hard to find one that fit just right, was comfortable, and that was easy to nurse in. A good nursing bra provides comfort, support, and easy access while preventing common issues like clogged ducts and discomfort. Whether you need something ultra-supportive, budget-friendly, or stylish enough to wear every day, I’ve rounded up the best nursing bras for every need.
