Baby + Toddler Favorites ⭐️
I research everything before I buy it, so this collection is full of products that have truly been worth it. These are our everyday toddler essentials that I’d recommend to any parent.
If you’re on the fence about getting one, I’d absolutely recommend it—it’s one of the few baby items we’ve used consistently from infancy through the toddler years.
Hatch Baby Sound Machine & Night Light
Easy to clean, dishwasher safe, and they catch so much food before it ends up on the floor. We use these every single day.
Silicone Bibs
Since we didn’t always want to go upstairs for every diaper change, this became our mobile changing station. It kept everything organized and was one of those purchases that made everyday life just a little easier.
Portable Diaper Changing Station
This has become our go-to spot for everything from tummy time to toddler play. It’s held up really well, wipes clean easily, and has made our play area feel much cozier.
Huloo Sleep: Baby Play Mat
We absolutely loved this travel system. The stroller is easy to maneuver, the ride is smooth, and having the infant car seat click right into the stroller made errands and appointments so much easier during the baby stage.
Evenflo Omni Plus Modular Travel System
If you’re planning to breastfeed, I’d absolutely recommend this pillow. It stays securely in place instead of sliding around, and the wraparound design made feedings so much more comfortable.
My Brest Friend Super Deluxe Nursing Pillow
This quickly became part of our bedtime routine. It kept my little one warm without worrying about loose blankets and helped create a cozy, consistent sleep environment
Weighted Sleep Sacks, Swaddles and Blankets
This gave me so much peace of mind while driving. Being able to see my baby clearly without turning around made car rides feel so much safer, and the picture quality was better than I expected.
Baby Car Monitor
If I could recommend just one baby health product, this would be it. It’s an absolute must-have during cold and flu season and works so much better than the traditional bulb syringe. I won’t go without one!
The Ultimate Snot Sucker!
If there’s one baby item I’d buy over and over again, it’s muslin blankets. We use ours for everything—snuggles, stroller rides, car naps, tummy time, nursing cover, burp cloth in a pinch, and even as a light blanket now that my toddler is older. The...

🧸 All Things Montessori
We love keeping play simple. This collection is filled with our favorite Montessori-inspired toys, books, furniture, and learning tools that encourage creativity, independence, and hands-on learning. Around here, we like to call them “toys without no...
I love that this toy doesn’t light up or make noise—it encourages focus, problem-solving, and independent play. It’s amazing how long toddlers will stay engaged with something so simple.
Adena Montessori Wooden Toy
A classic Montessori favorite! This simple toy helps build fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, color and shape recognition, and problem-solving—all through hands-on play
Wooden Sorting & Stacking Toys
These are such a fun little learning toy! I love that they encourage hands-on play while helping with letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and early vocabulary. Simple, educational, and another one of our favorite “toys without noise.”
Ms. Rachel Wooden Learning Blocks
Such a great first puzzle for little hands! The chunky wooden pieces are easy for toddlers to grab and help with fine motor skills, matching, and animal recognition. Simple, sturdy, and another “toy without noise” that actually keeps them engaged.
Farm Animals Chunky Puzzle
This one is just FUN. 🦄 The colorful unicorn pieces make putting the puzzle together exciting, and they’re chunky enough to play with on their own too. Perfect for toddlers who are starting to get into imaginative play.
Melissa & Doug Chunky Wooden Unicorn Puzzle
love anything that makes it easier for little ones to be independent, and this bookshelf does exactly that. Books and toys stay within reach, it keeps the play space looking organized, and it makes it easy for toddlers to choose what they want on the...
Kids Bookshelf and Toy Storage
Such a pretty way to create a cozy, defined play space without all the bright, overstimulating colors. 🌸 I love the soft vintage floral design for a Montessori-inspired room—and being washable is a huge bonus with little ones!
Floral Washable Rug 5x7
Proof that a toy doesn’t have to be wooden to fit into simple, intentional play! I love the softer colors, and little ones can sort, stack, dump, and start all over again. Such an easy “toy without noise” for introducing shapes, colors, and problem-s...
Fisher-Price Baby’s First Shape Sorter
This is exactly what I mean when I say “toys without noise.” 🙌 There’s no right way to play—sort them, stack them, match colors and shapes, or let your little one figure it out on their own. Simple enough for independent play but challenging enough ...
Wooden Montessori Sensory Learning Set
One of my favorite pieces for creating an intentional Montessori play space. The mirror is so fun for little ones to explore, and the bar gives them a place to practice pulling up, standing, and finding their balance—all at their own pace. 🤍
