I'm on my second baby and this time around I have more opinions and experience. Everything I recommend has either lasted 2 kids, or was an automatic repurchase. I also have a smaller home so it really has to be a high quality item for me to click 'buy' as The last thing I want to is buy something I need to declutter later.

In here i have my favorite products both owned and what im saving up for that make my life easier or more fun in the case of the consoles. I do limit screen use for myself and then for my children but I don't believe in denying children access to modern tools if I expect them to live in the modern world.

I don't make it my entire personality but my oldest child is neurodivergent, autistic and I am ADHD. that combo of different brains takes a lot of coordination and energy form me to keep us both level headed and feeling loved. so prioritising myself is as important as convincing my son there are foods outside foo\ cheese puffs and pizza.

Home goods that have been life savers its a bot if a combination of tools sand furniture, art and things that made my little desert house a home.

My almost-5-year-old is autistic and that presents a lot of challenges for his ADHD mom. These are the toys and things in my sons room that make his room a personal oasis.

I love crafting it's a bit tricky lately but these are the things I love when I can get my hands on the time to indulge.
