Why We Bought Another Stroller
I did something I swore that I would never do. I bought a second stroller. If you know me at all you know that this a HUGE deal. We have had our UPPAbaby Vista stroller since 2016 when I bought it. The Black Friday before my daughter was born. I love this stroller with all of my heart. We use it constantly and both of our kids have loved it. I love that the rumble seat goes up to 50 pounds, It folds up really nicely and will stand up on its own and it's easy to take care of. UPPAbaby is also amazing when it comes to warranty and replacing parts or even finding new parts that need to be replaced that aren't under warranty. While this is an expensive stroller, you get the bassinet and the rumble seat with it and it has lasted us seven years, two kids and a lot of traveling.
Our Favorite Inclusive Kids Books
I was going through some of the books that we had the other day, transferring some into my son's stuff because he's getting a little older. After looking through so many of our books, I decided that I was going to share some of our favorite inclusive, empowering, and just all around good children's books.
Favorite Baby Products for the First Year
Baby brother is 1 year old now, can you believe it? After a year of using baby products, I definitely have a list of favorites I wanted to share with you! As a reminder, you do not need any of these things. For us, some of these items were hand-me-downs or gifted to me because of what I do on social media. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using second hand baby items, and I encourage that whenever possible. Let's get started!
Baby Proofing Our House
Baby brother has started rolling and he is working on crawling. So, it's time to baby proof the house. Not only are we doing this now so we're ready when he actually starts crawling, but also prepping things early helps this neurodivergent household get used to all the new things we need to be doing before it's officially necessary. Let's round up the baby proofing items we are using!

Baby Boy Nursery Reveal
Our third floor which has served as our guest room, our playroom, and basically a catch-all is now being turned into the nursery.

Let me walk you through the process of transforming this into the nursery space!
