So, here’s the dealio. I’m a pretty simple person. I don’t need fancy clothes or expensive bags. I only know a few designer names, and own even less designer items. But I will always stand by products that are a great quality, for a great price. Being alive is expensive as it is already, adding a child into the mix makes things even MORE expensive. I promise you really don’t need that super expensive stroller, it’s okay to accept the hand-me downs (they’ll probably only wear each item once for the first year anyways)
Here are some lists of thing’s that either helped me through my first year as a Mom, or that I just love and think you’ll enjoy as well!

My favorite everyday Items
My Stanley Quencher 😍 My biggest craving during pregnancy was drink being ICE cold. Still to this day, I want more ice than liquid. Make it hurt my face or it’s not cold enough. The straw is also handy because I can drink easier in the car (and my daughter shares, haha)! I also HAD to get the Cowboy Ken Barbie Collab. I LOVED that movie and I LOVE Cowboy things in general. So it was a win win!
PINK cotton tshirts. I’m pretty sure I have them in every design. They’re soft and a little “oversized”, so they are super comfortable chasing baby or running errands!
Birkenstocks. Look, I know they’re expensive. But I promise they’re worth it. I wear mine year round….yeah even if it’s snowing. (I’m a little crazy it’s FINE) But the comfort is unmatched and they last for basically forever. If you want Birkenstocks but for a lower price, the EVA sandles are also amazing. (And Trendy ..I think…idk ask a Gen Z).
Caffeine. Any and all of it. From Red Bulls, to Monster to ice coffee. (I ONLY drink cold beverages!) I even buy drink packets to make my own energy drinks at home to save some money!
