Katey Hicks

Baby girl Hicks is almost here and the nesting stage has officially kicked in! Whether you are a first time mama or are having your second, third, etc. I hope this list is helpful! Honestly, I could make a list that has 100s of items on it, BUT I wanted to keep it short and sweet and try to hit mostly NEWBORN items. I have separated the list into categories for easier browsing. As a mom of a toddler boy, I have used/tried almost everything I recommend. If you have questions about anything, please know my DMs are always open! Being a mama is a beautiful thing, but it can also be overwhelming. If you feel that way and just want someone to vent to, my DMs are also a no judgement zone.

For those who don't know, my husband and I are finishing up a new construction home this August! Thanks to also having a baby at that time (putting us at two kids!!) we have decided to furnish our house with affordable finds from Wayfair. As a Wayfair Creator, this seemed like a non-brainer for a number of reasons. One, commission (of course) and mostly because it is a cost effective option as far as inevitability of it getting destroyed thanks to kids and pets. If you are in a similar boat, I hope you can find these recommendations helpful! Any questions? Just let me know! I'll update the list with pictures inside my home once we get there!

Updated makeup list for the summer months where the sun is shining but we still need our face to stay on. These are my tried and true and ones that I actually reach for on a daily basis!

With so many new makeup drops happening - it's hard to keep track! Here's a list of what i've tried and ones I recommend! And what i'm wearing this spring!

I have naturally wavy hair that I spent most of my life hating. Now I love it and that's all thanks to proper hair care. My favorite brand of all time is Crown Affair which is why you will see most of their lineup in here. I have tried almost all of them! Dae Hair is another great brand. For context, my hair type is wavy and fine though I would say I have a decent amount of hair. I do wash my hair everyday and I apply heat about half the time.

I turned my guest bedroom into my own library room meets creator space meets home office. I painted the walls white and added a gallery wall of some of my favorite Etsy prints. I love reading, retro vibes, and coffee (of course). I did the digital download for most of these prints and had them printed.
