As a Labor Nurse and Mom of 3 I see/saw real quick how fast mom is forgotten about from the start.

One thing I LOVE to do when my friends have a baby is make them a Mom basket. So they feel loved and still seen.

Here are a few things I like to...
Lip Balm is a must. Sometimes it’s what makes you feel put together even when it’s been days since you’ve slept.

Ok hear me out- EVERYONE deserves the best sleep possible. Even if it is 2hrs at a time. These pillowcases are heaven on earth.
We all know Mascara and Lip Balm can take you from feeling drab to fab real fast. And this is the best mascara out there. I’ve used it for 8 years now.

Hot coffee. Need I say more. We moms know the coffee gets cold REAL FAST. insulated mugs are life savers.
Just some cozy slippy grippy socks. No one wants to slip while holding baby and if you know about mom intrusive thoughts then you know what I’m talking about.

I like to throw in some high protein snacks I’ve made or will find some at the store. Moms are hungry and sleep deprived. Healthy easy snacks are a must. Grab. Eat. Go to baby or go to bed.

Never used night lights until I had babies. Then I needed them all the time. Didn’t want the big lights on but needed to see.

These Ugg blankets are so cozy. I alway left one on the couch for middle of the night feeds. I was always so cold.
