these black out Amazon pinch pleat curtains is one of my favorite finds/purchases and … they’re so affordable ✨

curtain details:

— color: Natural (how beautiful is this linen blend material/texture?)
— pinch pleat
— I purchased two sets of the 40W x 102L
— full black out (under my curtains, I have these beautiful black out Roman shades but the light would still shine through the sides. Adding an extra layer of these curtains really did the trick and blocked out all of the light)

My all-time favorite baby gates are currently on sale! 🤍

We’ve tried quite a few baby products over the last couple of years, and these are one of the few I’d buy again without hesitation. They’re sturdy, easy to use, auto-close behind you, and don’t have that annoying bottom bar to trip over.

We loved ours so much we ended up buying more for other areas of our home. If baby-proofing is on your to-do list, now’s a great time to grab them while they’re discounted!

We actually replaced our Hatch with this… and I wasn’t expecting to like it more!

We use it for every nap and every bedtime, and after taking it with us on a recent trip, it’s become one of those products I wouldn’t want to be without

What I love most is that everything can be controlled directly on the machine. No app. No Bluetooth. No monthly subscription!! It so simple and easy to use

It also comes with:
• 30 soothing sounds
• 12 night light colors
• 5 timer options
• 36 volume levels
• Travel-friendly size
• A more affordable price point than many popular alternatives

It helps block everyday household noise, keeps sleep routines consistent, and just works without any extra hassle

We’re one step closer to turning this little hallway into a functional mini mudroom!!

It took months of searching to find “cabinets” that were affordable, the right depth, and actually fit this narrow space. I originally considered IKEA’s PAX system, but it was too deep for our hallway. (Can you believe these are bookcases?!) Now that they’re finally here, the fun part begins 🥳

Still on the to-do list: • Add shelving to the bottom cabinets for everyday storage • Find baskets that fit perfectly on the shelves • Install hooks in the upper section for backpacks, bags, and jackets • Frost the glass to help hide visual clutter while still letting light through

Storage is limited in our home, so I’m always looking for ways to make every inch work harder for our family!

This bed rail has been one of my favorite purchases. We originally got it for co-sleeping and will use it when my son transitions to his own toddler bed. It has given me so much more peace of mind at night

This is one of those small changes that made a bigger difference than I expected
The hanging cord on our digital calendar wasn’t a huge deal, but it was one of those things that I kept looking at when I walked by (and something my son kept tugging on 😭). Adding a cord cover made the whole setup look more finished and put together

The best part? You can use these anywhere you have visible cords:
 • TVs • Digital calendars • Desks • Lamps • Entertainment centers • Home offices

It’s such a simple and affordable fix!

I’ve owned another digital calendar before this one, so I wanted to share what I like and don’t like about the Winnovo after using it. Overall, I’ve found it really easy to use, responsive, and helpful for keeping everything in one place.

One of my favorite things is that there’s no monthly subscription, and I love being able to manage our calendar, meal plans, grocery lists, and to-dos from either the screen or my phone.

If you’re considering one, hopefully this helps you decide whether it’s a good fit for your family.

These are my favorite aesthetic baskets for storing toys, and I currently have four of them throughout our home!

This is how I use them:

Living Room
• Large basket: toys
• Small basket: diapers + wipes for quick changes downstairs

Bedroom
• Large basket (budget-friendly option): toys
• Small basket (budget-friendly option): books

I love that they blend in with our decor, hold a surprising amount of toys, books, etc, and help keep the toy clutter contained without sacrificing the look of our home

I recently received this digital calendar and have been testing it out over the last few weeks to see how it compares to the one we’ve been using

As a mom, I feel like I’m constantly trying to keep track of appointments, meal plans, grocery lists, chores, and everything in between. Having one place for it all has been really helpful!

Some features I like:

• Shared family calendar
• Syncs with Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars
• Two way syncing (updates from your phone or the screen)
• Meal planning
• Grocery lists
• Chore tracking
• Reward system for kids
• Custom lists and to dos
• No monthly subscription (!!!!)

I also love that I can make changes from my phone when I’m out and about, and everything updates automatically

I’ll keep sharing my thoughts as I continue testing it, but so far it’s been a really useful tool for keeping our family organize

✨ this is the 21.5” in Teak wood!

How we prep for swim lessons 🏊‍♂️

Before swim:

1. Quick bath rinse before swim lessons.
2. Apply coconut oil all over his body. We usually use Costco’s coconut oil, but the one linked here is a great affordable alternative.
3. Spray Rowe Casa Vitamin C Spray on his skin (not linked). Vitamin C is commonly used to help neutralize chlorine and chloramines on the skin after pool exposure.
4. Coterie disposable diaper (not linked).
5. Reusable swim diaper.
6. Swimsuit + water shoes.

After swim:

7. Wash his hair and body with Babo Botanicals shampoo + wash.
8. Give Dr. Green Mom Vitamin C drops (not linked. We do this because there’s a chance some pool water may be swallowed during swim lessons, and vitamin C is often used to help support the body after chlorine exposure.)

Just sharing what works for our family and our swim routine!

🤍follow @neutralsbydanee for more realistic motherhood, toddler finds, and home inspo

lately, we’ve been using this bed rail every single night, and it has given me so much more peace of mind while co-sleeping

i love that it folds down when we don’t need it, and that we’ll be able to use it again when it’s time to transition to a toddler bed!

few things to note: if you have a lower bed frame like ours, the rail won’t fold all the way down. it doesn’t bother us, but it’s something to be aware of before purchasing!

also, we only have one rail installed because my son consistently sleeps on the same side of the bed

and before anyone says it… yes, it kind of makes our bed look like a hospital bed 😅 but safety comes first, and the extra peace of mind is 100% worth it

after we set up this gate at the bottom of our stairs, I realized it wouldn’t be very easy to take down since it’s drilled in. and every time I take photos of this part of our home, the gate will be seen in the background

At first, i was a little worried. Then I asked myself.. why would I need to worry about something like this? this is just the season of life we’re in right now- safety gates everywhere. and I don’t need to hide it

And tbh, I love this season more than I care about having a “perfect” picture. sooo here’s a moment for my baby gates + shady lady tree ✨

i almost didn’t buy this gate… now we have 2 more 😅

after trying bulky gates with bars at the bottom that everyone tripped over, this one has honestly been such a good find. it feels super secure, closes automatically behind you, and somehow was one of the most affordable ones i found too.

I never used to make my bed. Tbh, I hated it.

But lately, I’ve realized that slowing down, making the bed before getting the day started, tidying corners here and there, and caring for our home in small ways has changed how it feels more than anything else ever has

My home isn’t big, perfect, or always clean .. but it’s taken such good care of me. And caring for it back in these small, everyday ways has completely changed how I feel inside it

Sometimes the smallest routines really do matter the most!
