Life as a toddler mom can feel like being a ringleader in a never ending circus! Here are some of my must haves that make life easier- toddler approved!
As a mom to 3 kiddos. I know what works, what doesn't, what you need and what you don't. I have a 7.5 year old son and 4 year old twin daughters. This list will give you everything I used and loved to get my kids from 0-7+years. If you haven't checked out my Amazon list yet, that's also another great tip on what I get my kids and what THEY love and use.
Listen, I’ve nursed three babies—around the clock, through growth spurts, clogged ducts, and those “is this normal?!” moments. These are the real-deal essentials that actually help. No fluff. Just the stuff that makes nursing doable (and sometimes even kinda cozy). Whether you’re a first-time mama or on baby number three like me, this list has your back… 🤍

Baby Shower Must Haves! Items worth buying in baby’s first year that will last. Certain things we should buy cheaper, but this list has items that will last for the long haul and I think are worth the investment. My daughter is about to turn 1 and these are all the things I would buy again.
Baby girl outfits for all seasons and all styles. Some from amazon, target, walmart and various other places. Dresses,rompers,sleepers and plain onsies. A little bit of everything here for baby girls.
Mom, baby, birth, breastfeeding. Allll of my recs in one place. I try to use mostly non-toxic ingredients, and high quality products but also keep budget in mind. Some items are worth splurging on while others are not—and the ones listed here are the ones I prefer!
I breastfed my first baby for a year and the second baby going strong almost 6 months now. With my first I was working full time so my recs include those of the working mom too!
Both my babies had tongue, lip, and buccal oral ties and released at 10 days old. The bottles and pacifiers are what we found to be most beneficial for them in dealing with that.
I hope this list can offer you some cute, fun and useful ideas for you and your babies!
