I have been a professional photographer for more than a decade, and I help style families for their photo sessions all the time - advising what color palettes, textures, and accessories to consider for the best family photos. Items that photograph well and items to stay away from. The items on this list fit into my personal aesthetic recommendations, and are all available for purchase on Amazon. These items may contain Amazon affiliate links that earn commissions.

As a mama who gave birth via c-section 3 times (including just recently!), I've compiled a list of things I recommend you bring with you to the hospital! After way over-packing with my first baby, I learned there are actually a lot of things the hospital will provide for you (any essential care items needed for you and baby) - so you don't need to bring any of them with you! And you'll actually use less than you think while you're there!

As a mom of three young kiddos, we do a lot of coloring at our house! So I decided to start making my own coloring books for my kids!

As a mom of 3, I've used a lot of different baby products with each of my kids, and these are the things I've loved and used again and again. I've learned a lot about what items you need and don't need when having a new baby in the house. These are some of my favorite items to have for baby!
