"With the new baby coming you might be focused on what he/she will need or want, and sometimes we tend to neglect the sweet mama! I love robes and wear one pretty much everyday, so think about gifting a robe at the next shower you attend."

"For my daughter Isla’s second birthday one of her friends gifted her a puzzle with the letters of her name (ISLA ROSE) and I thought it was one of the most thoughtful gifts ever! If they have a name picked out and have shared it, a personalized gift of some sort is always a good idea and very creative."

"I swear by this stuff! I know it may sound strange, but I actually put this on my lips after I wash my face at night and before I put lipstick on. If my lips are feeling especially dry, I will put it on over my lipstick, like gloss. But it also serves a great purpose as nipple cream!"

"For both of my baby showers, I received a lot of books. And I’m honestly so glad I did. We love to read books to our kids before bedtime and we are constantly adding new books to their collection. I didn’t think to register for books, but they make for the perfect gift that will be used over and over."

"We love Bumbos in our home and get a lot of use out of them! It’s super soft but durable, helping your child learn to sit upright on their own. Both of my kids loved their Bumbos when they were younger."
