As a new mom again - and one of young adults and in-betweens, here are some of my top "life-saving" and at least life-changing items for those with babies to toddlers on board. With even one..life can be a blur but with more it can become a daze. This list is for the moms who need convenience + health and safety OR those FTMs who want to know what's worth it and what's not.

From K Brand Beauty to European standards in skincare, make-up, and beauty tools..this list will have a little of everything thats made a difference in my beauty routine whether DAILY convenience, optimizing healthy skin, or luxurious and special occasions.

Local favorites to the Greater STL area - from coffee to groceries or four star meals in unknown rural towns. This list is for anyone visiting the area who wants to know "what makes it worthwhile" and help you find something that meets your fancy.

Apparel brands I love...and my baby too. Why we love them, what they have to offer, and what makes them stand out? A little bit of something for everyone that goes beyond OshKosh, Grandpa's, Carters, or GAP. Wide range in affordability and style...from Old Money and Vintage classics to Modern Neutrals or RAD Tye Dyes. We like it all.

Recommendations for the Book Lovers, book tokkers, and fan favorites. We like hole in the wall bookshops, small business, and unique ideas. This list is for the standout book shops, book subscription boxes, special edition sales, artsy sprayed edge releases, and FANtastic series inspired apparel lovers. Catch a mobile book van in STL or find you a true crime book subscription box to suit your fancy.
