Putting together a baby registry (especially if it’s your first!) is one of the most exciting parts of a pregnancy. You can really start to visualize your baby being with you!
There are tons and tons and tons of things to add to your registry – and you’ll still get a ton of stuff not on your registry – but you really don’t need (or necessarily want) all of those things. So here are the things you definitely DO want!

Christmas for your 3-year old is a BIG deal. In many ways, it’s almost like their first Christmas because they’re finally old enough to understand everything and get excited! Which means you obviously don’t want to leave out any detail – including the stocking! Stockings are a ton of fun to shop for, but obviously you don’t want to spend too much money. All of these ideas are relatively cheap, but don’t forget about the easy wins, like their favorite snacks! Those will help to fill up the stocking so you can mix it up with other nice things.
Shopping for 1-year olds can be so much fun. Everything is brand new to them! But it can still be tough because they haven’t quite grown into full-blown toys and there’s just so much out there to choose from.
My son was fortunate to be showered with gifts as a 1-year old and there were definite, obvious winners. Luckily, you don’t need to spend a lot for these little guys, which is especially the case when you’re looking to fill up their first little stocking! All of these gifts are inexpensive and small, so they’re perfect for little stocking stuffers!

My son is obsessed with trains. And leading the pack of all-things-trains is, of course, the one and only Thomas the Train. I don’t know what it is, but something about that show has him completely mesmerized…so I’m always on the hunt for Thomas the Train gifts.
Luckily, from that little boy obsession has sprouted an entire industry of Thomas the Train accessories and toys. And while I’d love to say that my (not) crafty-self has discovered a way to make the equivalent of Thomas from scratch, the reality is that nothing makes me happier than discovering a new Thomas gift that sends my little guy over the moon. He’s just too cute!
So if you’re in need of a new Thomas friend or accessory for your little one, check out these winners in our house:
I’m a total subscription club addict for a ton of reasons. Primarily, the experts picking stuff out always seems to be a better hit than anything I could come up with! But also, who doesn’t love a gift that keeps on giving?
Men can be especially hard to shop for, so in my opinion subscription clubs for men are BRILLIANT. And with the holidays coming up, I figured it would be the perfect time to share some of the best that I’ve come across!
The key is to find ones that are actually worth the money…because the last thing you want is to spend your money on a monthly disappointment. So give these a shot and become the best gift-giver this season:
It’s that time of year again! The Easter Bunny is on his way and more importantly, spring will soon be here! Easter can be a really fun day, especially with little ones. This will be the first year that my son will understand what’s going on (kind of), so I can’t wait to pull out all of the stops! We’re going to be decorating eggs ahead of time, hiding them, and of course opening up an Easter basket from the Easter Bunny!
In my excitement, I’ve already ordered the fixings for my son’s Easter basket this year and I know how tough that can be when you don’t want to spend a lot and you just don’t really know what a toddler would like. So here are some great Easter basket ideas for 2-year old boys! Happy Easter 🙂

Whether you find out ahead of time or at the moment of delivery, hearing that you’re having a boy is an amazing feeling. You’re life’s about to change! Amidst the excitement though, you are bound to experience one tiny twinge of disappointment – no bows, glitter, tutus, or accessories. But it’s ok, you tell yourself, because having a boy will be more fun anyways. And trust me, IT IS. And best of all? You will be blown away by the cute baby boy clothes that you will come across if you look in the right places.
What you don’t know yet is that baby boy clothes can actually be way, way cuter than anything you can find for a girl! Not only do boys have their own adorable accessories, but they can pull off being dressed like mini versions of their dads, something little girls just can’t seem to do (or maybe it’s that yoga pants and an oversized T-shirt just don’t pack a punch ;-)).
Here are some of the cutest places to get baby boy clothes (and accessories) that you may not have thought of:
