thank you ! some great discoveries for baby number 2
We have a similar rocking stand for our Moses basket and love it. Getting ready to use it r our third baby!
Such a useful list – looking forward to see your additions.
Hi Lena,
Super great list. Did you find the moby wrap difficult to put on? I’m debating whether or not to get it because it seems rather complicated.
Thank you for this. I’m expecting a baby boy in just a few months and am starting to look for natural, organic options to add to my registry. This is a huge help!
Thank you so much for this list. For a first time mom with a baby on the way, it’s nice to have recommendations that are tasteful, eco-conscious, and useful.
This is such a great list! Thanks!
i was wondering where you got your linens from for your little one’s crib? i love them from your design sponge feature!
thanks! the polka dot crib sheet was from the Garnet Hill outlet store in New Hampshire.
