My Most Used Gear 0-3 Months:


Fisher Price Sweet Peace Swing.

Read my Review HERE.



Avent Pacifiers


Read Why I like these HERE.



Fisher Price Soothe and Glow SeaHorse
Think "gloworm" of our generation. It makes pretty sounds and lights up. PB seems to enjoy this more than any other sound maker.








3- 6 Months


Fisher Price Crib Soother.
This is great for helping baby fall asleep on their own in the crib. I would say it is one of my top MUST have items. Great thing to buy at consignment sales too.

Baby DeeDee Sleep Sack. I LOVE this. It was a gift and we have used it TONS. It is easy to get on and off, the glow in the dark zipper is awesome, easy to wash and looks great, wash after wash. It is like a duvet for babies, so its warmer than most other sleep sacks which is great so I don't have to worry about baby getting cold and waking up, or suffocating with blankets.




Sophie the Giraffe Teether
Worth all the hype! Sophie is great for teething babies. Also is a very attractive toy any dogs I know.


Baby Einstein Discovery Center/Exersaucer
Around 17 weeks this became a source of big fun for PB. Gives him a chance to play, learn about using his legs, and keeps him busy while i cook dinner!





Boon Flair HighChair
I love love LOVE this thing. It is totally awesome for so many reasons. You can read my review of it HERE.





 The Boon Spoon "Squirt". Basically anything by the company Boon is awesome. This spoon though is great for travel as well as around the house, because instead of needing baby food, and a spoon you just need this, and it dispenses each bite right into the spoon so there is no spillage or dripping going from bowl to mouth, keeping things very tidy!





These food cubes by Green Sprouts are great for moms who make their own baby food. They stack and store neatly in the cabinet as well as the fridge. They are BPA free and dishwasher safe.  Also great to use in the freezer! $5 a box !

6- 9 Months 


Tadpoles Playmat - This has been a hidden jem! I originally bought it to soften our hardwood floors when he plays, but it is great because he loves to play with it, take it apart and all plus it is very easy to clean when spit up happens. I have the one pictured above, but they come in all sorts of designs and colors.

Toy Organizer - This has been awesome not only for keeping things straight, but also because at 8 mos. they love to "get into things" and its great that he has his own area to plunder and destroy.
Tv Shows -  Still loves Einstein and now really enjoys Yo Gabba Gabba. He smiles so big when DJ Lance comes on and talks. This is also one of the more adult friendly TV shows for kids.




9-12 Months


Glad BPA free Plastic containers for food storage. Cheaper and holds a larger amount for bigger babies.

Charlie Banana Cloth Diapers. By far the best diaper I have used yet! Too bad I did not discover these earlier!

 Blocks! My boy loves to play with wooden blocks these days! The tricky thing about blocks is you have to find some that are big enough they cant choke if they start chewing on them, which they will !


Fisher Price Farm Gate.Provides alot of fun for many months. Makes sounds, has a door you can open and close which babies, LOVE to do, and they can crawl through it and pull up on it.

Books! Specifically : Lullabye Little One" and " Little Blue Truck"

*update** Munchkin just came out with a great travel tray for car seats because it has a built in snack trap! Available in Babies -R-Us.



Diaper Bags
I am a bag connoisseur! I have loved handbags for as long as I can remember, and diaper bags are no different. I am constantly on the look out for the best diaper bag. The one I come back to over and over is Kate Spade. I think they are designed better and look better than any others out there. You will pay for that awesomeness ( which to me is worth it), but you can get them at a Kate Spade outlet cheaper than anywhere!  The Kate Spade diaper clutch is the best changing mat out there because it folds up neatly, is washable and holds diapers and wipes so you can just grab it and the babe when you head to the bathroom. Skip Hop is my runner up  diaper bag designer.

Skip Hop Saddle Bag ( great for strollers or using as a purse insert) Read my full write up on it HERE

Skip Hop Duo Double Deluxe Diaper Bag | BabyAge.com

I consider this one a great airline travel bag. It is big, and attaches to stroller for ease of carry but it is intended for moms of 2 or Twins.
