BabyGearMama

I'm a mom of three littles who’s obsessed with babygear. I know that being a new parent is overwhelming. This blog walks you through the babygear choices and helps you sort out what's needed and what's not. Not just gear info but also staying afloat with baby or dealing with a crazy toddler! Motherhood is the hardest job on the planet and this is a beginner's handbook from a "Mom of Three Littles" point of view.

Ideas on Registry Items

Over the years I have compiled a list of things that I would have registered for and also things for which I WOULD NOT have registered. They are listed below. In this blog, I touch on most categories found on major registry check-lists. I decide if it was a good purchase for us.... why we bought it, would we buy it again, would I recommend it. Some items were not out when I first started "baby shopping" back in 2006, so there are some items that I have "just discovered" with the addition of my second and now my third bambino.

TODDLERS - A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME

Toddlers. They are absolutely impossible to understand. I have a former toddler and a current one and a future one. My head is about to explode. The attention they require (and the gear) is totally different. With some of these entries, I can provide some useful tips on dealing with that stage. I found myself going to Target or Babies R Us just wandering the aisles looking for something that I knew I needed for my toddlekin but I just couldn't figure it out. I'm a big online shopper so I also found some great things for her there. Basically, I know the moms and dads are just trying to cope and keep everyone alive. Hopefully, with this info, it might be a little easier!!!
