Products

There is an overwhelming amount of products out there for babies and toddlers, and I was paralyzed just trying to navigate the endless choices of stuff you “need” when you get pregnant. So, I compiled this list of my personal favorites (as I wish someone would have done for me!). Please note that I am not getting paid to share this information. These are items that made my life a lot easier during the first 18 months of my sons life, so please enjoy these products that I love and couldn’t live without!
