Products I recommend

This playard of my favorite products that we have in my house for my toddler! When we have outside chores to do it's so hard to try and contain them and focus on whatever it is we're trying to do. This has been an absolute life saver when we're out doing things like mowing or feeding our chickens - it's also nice for when we're just enjoying time outside because my toddler HATES the feeling of grass. Definitely worth the buy! Link: https://amzn.to/3qLezxA 

We got this jumperoo from gigi and grandpa! It was SUCH a fun activity until we grew out of it 😒. I personally loved this jumper it was very easy to set up kept my little on entertained and it's very compact which has made storing it so easy! Link: https://amzn.to/448snkd

I really like this chair. We've been using it since my little one could first sit up to eat, the back can recline and has multiple settings. The tray has two different pieces so you can choose to have the little compartments for separating food or the more traditional one big tray. As for the seat covers it is SO easy to clean, and let me tell you that was one of my biggest concerns. It has clips that slide on and off making it easy and mess free to slide off the chair for an easy clean up. Also the material allows you to be able to just do a quick wipe down if it's not messy enough for a wash cycle. The last thing i LOVE about this chair is how easy it is to pack up and take with you. As of now my little one is the only baby on my side of the family so a few times for family functions I've had to pack it up and take it with us. I would highly recommend this chair.

This Vick's warm mist air humidifier has been such a life saver when my little is sick. Personally I like the option between putting the Vick's vapo pads in or the Vick's solution in a medicine cup I've also used the medicine cup to put a lavender essential oil to help try and promote sleep when my little one was struggling to sleep through the night. The warm mist also helps keep the room more comfortable for my little one when they aren't feeling good. Link: https://amzn.to/3qJZa0h

Let's talk sound machines. I have noticed such a difference in my child's sleeping pattern when we use a sound machine and when we don't. At this point I'd say a sound machine is a must. Personally I think you definitely get the most bang for your buck with this one. You get 6 different sound options (ocean is our personal fav), you have the option to set the sound on a timer or let it run all night, and it has the option to project images. The project option cycles through 3 different images. The project was a feature we didn't start using until recently but its been a great help as my little one has been more upset with laying down in the recent weeks. All that being said this was one of the more cost effective ones that I found at $29.34 definitely worth it! Link: https://amzn.to/43ZfclC

Going on a family trip soon? Did you know that they make mattresses for a pack n play now! This one has amazing reviews on amazon, it's rated highly for comfort and the fact that it is the perfect mattress to travel with! This is a must have for our travels. Link: https://amzn.to/3NBCk47

This packnplay is the perfect traveling companion. It's perfect for all ages. A bassinet and changing table - with diaper and wipe storage. But also all of that comes off leaving space for when your kiddo exceeds those weight limits. I also appreciate that it comes with a portable sound machine. Link: https://amzn.to/43MfdJG 

My little one and I love a good target run! With this toy you can bring target to you to help teach your little one how to do it right. The price for this adorable set is only $5.99, a pretty good steal! Link: https://amzn.to/3PpDrp0

I found the perfect summer activity. Who doesn't like a water activity in this insane summer heat? Water balloons are a true staple in childhood memories. However they are insanely messy and leave pieces of rubber all over the yard. These re-usable water balloons are perfect. Link: https://amzn.to/3qUtFkj

I found this splash pad on the popular items page and I just had to share it! It has great reviews for value, durability and it's easy to assemble. It is the perfect outside activity. Link: https://amzn.to/3NHoQDU

These bibs are really like the best thing since sliced bread - and I'm really not joking. The pouch is really just a genius idea that helps make clean up after snack or meals WAY easier. The silicone material makes washing them out so easy. My little one even loves to pick the pieces out of the pocket. 10/10 would recommend a real must baby must have! Link: https://amzn.to/3JRDlTx

Another mealtime mom hack are these suction cup bowls. My little one loves to throw things around but these? These make sure that I'm not cleaning up his dinner off the floor - or rather that the dog doesn't eat the food instead. Another amazing product to make meal times easier.

Let's be real for a minute. It's hard to entertain a newborn right? As a first time mom I had no idea what activities would be beneficial for development and also something for my baby to do that isn't sitting in moms arms. These are perfect and will entertain your baby for a while, it also promotes self discovery which is so important to a baby's development. Link: https://amzn.to/3qXeK9c

Cradle cap problems? No worries! A lot of babies get cradle cap. My little one had very mild cases of it from time to time up until recently. Fridababy has come up with a 3 step process to help safely get the dry skin out.
Step 1: Lather your baby's head with either some cradle cap shampoo or baby oil.
Step 2: Loosen the flakes on the scalp by using the brush and brushing on your baby's scalp in circular motions.
Step 3: go through your baby's hair lifting the comb away from the scalp and bringing the flakes up with it.
I loved this 3 step process, when we needed to do it I did it right there in the bath. My baby was happy and distracted while I got rid of all the annoying flakes! Link: https://amzn.to/3NMuIfi

As much as it makes me sad to admit - my little one has officially hit the toddler stage. And he's definitely ready to start learning some more toddler skills. This week we've started using these cups to try and get him to drink out of normal cup. Now admittedly it's taking him awhile to catch on but it all comes in due time! I personally think these cups are a great stepping stone. Link: https://amzn.to/3XvIwOw
