5 Things Worth the $$ (Motherhood Edition)
1.) Rotating Car Seats : we’ve had both & when we switched our toddler to the rotating one, our lives changed. Especially for an SUV or for grandparents!
(we love our Evenflow Revolve 360, but there are so many options)
2.) Snap Shades for your Vehicle : They are ordered by make & model of your vehicle & fit perfectly! No more suction cups and hard to use shades! Easy to pull in & out also!
3.) Bugaboo Butterfly Stroller : the most incredible stroller. The easiest to pop up & down. Perfectly compact for travel. High quality & worth every $$! Buy the travel backpack to store it in too!
4.) Coterie Diapers & Wipes : We didn’t start with these, but our girls have sensitive skin and immediately upon switching to these, their skin was sooo happy! Well worth it for me! And also the wipes! The size & thickness -you will never want to use anything else!
5.) A Good Baby Carrier : I make Velcro babies & because I’m not an octopus - a good carrier is a must. My favs (not for newborns) are the Wildbird Aerial & the Artipoppe. I’ve used a baby carrier almost every day for the last 3 years. It is worth it to invest into one that is comfortable. (And bonus if you don’t hate how it looks because so many photos of me & my babies are with them in carriers).
Bonus : a doula. A good doula can honestly make your labor & delivery (& even parts of your pregnancy) so much less stressful & honestly, better! The best $$ you can spend - especially if you are nervous about labor! And if you are close to me - Birth Doula + Birth Photography Team is the best in the business!
