Ergobaby 360 Carrier
"This is my lifeline! This carrier allows me to be hands-free. It’s durable and holds up for years after what seems like hundreds of washes. I nurse in the carrier, I hike with the carrier...I never leave home without it. It allows me to carry my baby all the time without back pain (yes please!). Plus, it allows baby to be forward facing inward and outward, hip wearing and back carrying I love that it has an attached cover that is UPF 50+.

Baby Dream Machine
"We cannot live without our Baby Dream Machine. It functions as a nightlight, but more importantly red light therapy which aids in staying asleep (yes please!), cool mist, aromatherapy and my favorite pink noise which is a mix of high and low frequencies to keep me and the baby asleep all night. Huge fan!"

Tonies
"I'm a huge fan of the Toniebox (cute kids speaker box) for listening to fun stories by placing a super figurine from the story on the box. It’s fun and screen-free. We just got the Go Noodle x Tonies Mindfullness Set and are loving the that my 10 year old will take a moment to mediate to fun tales and tunes."$99.99 at Amazon -
TalkTools Honey Bear Cup
"This is an amazon favorite. The TalkTools Honey Bear Cup helped my 8 month old who was struggling with drinking from a straw master it within minutes. It has a leak proof lid, squeezable body and teaches lip rounding, tongue retraction and other oral-motor skills.
