I originally bought this play mat thinking it was going to go in our garage, but it ended up being the perfect fit for our living room instead. It’s much thicker than I expected, which has actually been amazing now that Ollie is sitting, rolling, and launching himself around all day. If you’re in this stage too, this has been one of my favorite recent finds.

Here’s everything I used to make Ollie’s handprint shadowbox last month! The background is leftover wallpaper from his room and the blue paint I had on hand

I love this adorable elephant ring holder on my dresser! Perfect for displaying my rings. So sweet and practical.

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKWedding

A must-read for all the mommies out there. This book has been a guiding light for me during my motherhood journey. Highly recommend!

The silicone baby fruit feeder has been a lifesaver! It's perfect for making fresh, healthy popsicles for teething relief. Easy to use and clean, it's a must-have for any parent.

#LTKBaby #LTKmomlife

I finally found the perfect baby plates to make feeding easier! These suction plates are a game changer - they stay put on the table, and the divided sections help control portion sizes. They’re super easy to clean and safe for the microwave and dishwasher too. It’s made meal times so much smoother and less messy. Highly recommend for every busy parent!

Our sweetest neighbors are letting us borrow this wooden Montessori activity cube right now, and I got a bunch of questions asking what kind of toy it was. It’s such a cool little activity toy for this stage, so I went ahead and rounded up a bunch of similar ones on Amazon at a few different price points and linked them here.

There are so many tiny decisions in this stage that I’ve really appreciated anything that doesn’t make me think too hard. This has been such a good starter solids setup for us, and I can definitely see why it’s won awards.

Starting solids has made me realize how many little decisions there are, and this felt like a really easy one for us. I liked that this cup gives a little flexibility depending on what route you want to take, and for us, we’re starting with the straw option.

This has become way more fun now that Ollie’s actually at the stage where he wants to engage and play a little more. And if something is holding his attention long enough to get five full minutes of tummy time, I’m calling that a win.

Such an easy little keepsake craft and way less messy than I expected. It says it makes two, but I actually had enough extra clay to make two smaller ones too, which was a nice surprise. If you want a simple no-bake, no-mess way to make something special to save, this is a really good one.

Trying to be better about the little things lately, and these have made it feel a lot easier. The daily vitamin packs are way more realistic for me than another bottle I’ll forget about, and the hydration powder has been such an easy add-in too.

I’ve been really bad about taking vitamins ever since I finished my bottle of prenatals and just never replaced them 🙃 so these have been perfect for me lately. The little individual packets make them way easier to remember, and it just feels a lot more realistic for this season than trying to stay on top of another bottle I’ll forget about.

A couple things Ollie is really into right now. He just learned how to throw everything, so those little bungee straps are suddenly very important in our house 😂 and this chicken teether has also been getting a lot of love lately.

Can’t believe I just built Ollie’s high chair!!

#LTKmomlife #LTKBaby #LTKKids

Summer baby items from @nuby - can’t wait to use these!! especially the bungees since Ollie just learned to throw things 😂

#LTKmomlife #LTKBaby

Leveled up the playmat and tried out the sitting piano mode… it was so cool to see him really play!

#LTKmomlife #LTKBaby

Ollie’s new little chair that’s going to be great for this summer and beach days! It comes with a travel bag and also hooks onto a regular chair - thanks @nuby

Wore this on my trip this past weekend and was really happy with it. I’d never ordered from Commense before, but this dress turned out so cute and was actually really comfortable too. Definitely one of those pieces you could dress up or dress down depending on where you’re wearing it. Wearing a large in the dress.

Ollie has been loving his play mat lately … and we also have started using these funny socks and bracelets. We call them his “fun socks” 😂

#LTKmomlife

And it wouldn’t be a good target run without some grabs for Ollie man…and I couldn’t resist with Memorial Day and the 4th coming up!!

#LTKmomlife #LTKBaby #LTKSwim

Trying to find new swim coverups that feel comfortable and cute with my postpartum body and these were great target finds! I got a large in both the shorts and the dress.

I have a bachelorette in Vegas next week, and since we’re doing a pool party and a club, I needed a clear bag that was actually cute and not just purely functional. This one is such a good option if you have concerts, festivals, sporting events, or any big summer events coming up where you need a clear bag.

Sam told me to wait until he got home to build this, which obviously did not happen 😂 I could not resist, and honestly it ended up being super easy to put together. Such a cute little bookshelf and I love the wave detail for Ollie’s room.

This bookshelf is so cute in Ollie’s room, and I love the little wave detail on it. It was also super easy to build, which always feels like a win. Such a good little piece if you want something functional but still cute for a nursery or kid room.

A new baby phase unlocked over here: drool 😂 I grabbed a couple different bib packs because Ollie has really started going through them, and I quickly realized we were going to need more than just a few. Sharing the ones I got in case anyone else is in the suddenly-soaked-all-day stage too.
