My Favorite Baby Finds: Part 1

Joshua Jr. celebrating his first birthday with cake

I love baby stuff…I mean I really, really love it. When Josh and I were expecting Naleigh I spent months researching everything from the best diaper wipes to the safest car seats and I was no different with Adalaide or Joshua Jr. There’s just something about spending hours online perusing everything baby that amps up the excitement for and soothes some of the anxieties about your little ones arrival. At least it does for me! For those of you who would rather not spend the wee hours of the night online comparing baby wipes and car seats I’ve decided to share my favorite must haves with you. Hopefully my extensive list will save you time you may not have and worry you can not spare. Enjoy!

Joshua Jr's favorite thing about bath time is everything, mine is the sweet smelling Mustela or Noodle and Boo baby wash.

The Uppababy stroller is fantastic for shopping trips as well as mountain hikes around my home.

We were only able to use our mamaRoo for about 4 months cause Mr. Man grew so damn fast!

We've already had to upgrade Joshua Jr to a larger car seat 'cause he's a giant, but I loved the ease and safety of the Uppababy infant car seat.

I had this baby burritoed the moment he came out of the womb. I'm a big believer in the soothing effects of a tight swaddle.

    Thanks for this post. I love reading reviews of baby stuff so that I have the best chance of getting the most useful things. There is so much out there that it would be easy to make mistakes and be wasteful of both money and space. I’d love to know what car seat you graduated Joshua Jr into. (Adorable baby!) My boy is also ready to bust out of his infant carrier.

    Dearest Katherine,
    Thank you for sharing these personal pics and finds! It couldn’t be any better timing for me as my second son was born just 3 weeks ago and we can benefit gravely from your post! I love the swaddles ( all kinds) and do use the ones you posted:) I will have to try the bath and body supplies ( will trust you since you are an experienced mom!), as of now we use organic finds over the counter and organic raw coconut oil ( does wonders for mommy breast as well, specially when pumping).
    Looking forward to your future posts!
    Thank you again!
    Truly yours

    P.S. I wonder what did you do with that gorgeous infant stroller? Any chance you would like to resell it? I would be thrilled to buy it! And any other baby gear that you don’t need for handsome Joshua Jr.! My son is just 3 weeks old now and I am in search of baby gear!
    Thank you regardless!
    Truly yours,
    Syuzanna

    What car seat did you go with after the UppaBaby Mesa? We are just about to convert and we LOVE our Mesa (we are on kid #2 with it). Our oldest has the Britax Advocate Clicktight ARB Convertible Car Seat
