Sharing my three favorite (and most used) cooler bags for traveling with a toddler, whether you’re gonna be out of your house for a few hours or a few days: LeSportsac Cooler Bag I used this bag the most when Mackenzie was using bottles. We used Dr. Brown bottles & I was able to fit two of them plus a thin ice pack. I still use this bag sometimes to carry Mackenzie’s straw cups &…

Tips for Traveling With Your Little One For the Holidays
Whether you’re traveling with your newborn or toddler for the holidays, I’ve got some helpful tips and check lists to make sure you don’t forget anything important! My favorite way to pack for myself or Mackenzie is to use packing cubes. It helps me feel organized since I feel like I have to travel with so much. For a car trip I like to pack her stuff in her LL Bean Tote, but for air travel we’ve used our medium sized Away suitcase. For her formula or now her snacks and other food related items, I like to use this cooler bag. I’ll start with newborns. It may feel like…

Overrated Baby Products
I asked on instagram a few weeks back for your most overrated baby item and I’m sharing them below! If you’re currently pregnant and looking at baby things you’ll need once baby arrives, check out this list for some things you may NOT need to get: *Before I go into why I think these products are overrated, I should note that some items that are unnecessary to some, may be “must haves” for others. Swing- Some babies love a swing and some babies absolutely hate it. This is definitely a hit-or-miss baby product for sure. Boudreaux’s Butt Paste- I so wanted to love this diaper cream, but it’s so greasy…

Brand Highlight: Why I Love Oxo Tot
I love that oxo tot has such a wide variety of items that you can use for your baby/toddler! Some of the items below are our most used items: On-The-Go Fork and Spoon– I love this set for my diaper bag since it keeps the utensils clean and together in the case.

My Favorite Baby Clothing Brands
There are SO many baby clothing brands out there, it’s kind of hard to know which ones are truly the best! I love Carter’s for good every day outfits or holidays, but I find their sizing to sometimes be so OFF! Also, almost everything is 100% cotton so your little one may grow out of it very quickly because there’s little to no stretch in the fabric. I’ve discovered some brands that should hopefully last you a long time 🙂 In terms of sizing, I can’t be the only person who still has trouble figuring out sizing with all the different brands! Sometimes I order something in her current size…
