My Top Ten Must Have Baby Items!

Here's a list of my top ten baby items that I wouldn't be able to live without!

1. Orbit travel system: I find this extremely easy to use and I adore the sidekick skateboard that attaches onto the side of the stroller for my older child! It has an easy attachment to turn it into a double stroller as well. There is nothing that this travel system doesn’t offer…and we travel ALOT!

2. Medela Free Style Pump: This made it possible for me to pump any and everywhere, all while texting, emailing, cooking, eating, in design meetings, answering the door for room service, getting a manicure…you name it, I was doing it with this thing on.

3. Beaba Babycook:  This device is a must if you plan to make homemade baby food. It steam cooks and blends the food all in one. They also have wonderful silicone storage containers to keep the food in and the most amazing silicone spoons perfect for babies first meal. 

4. Books:  I read to my children from the moment we came home from the hospital. Reading is a big part of our daily routine and one of my favorite times of the day. On the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman is my absolute favorite baby book. It is so sweet and brings me back to those perfectly innocent moments when my children were infants.

5. Earth Mama Angel Baby products: I have an obsession for these products because they are all natural, zero toxins, herbal organic baby products. My favorites are the Bottom Balm, Shampoo & Body Wash and Lotion.

6. Ubbi Diaper Pail: Made of powder coated steel so it does not absorb odors like plastic ones can.

7. Sleepyhead: This is a special pillow like bed that goes inside of your bed for safe co-sleeping. I used this with both of my children and found it essential for traveling. My kids could sleep anywhere as long as I had this pod with me.

8. Nook crib mattress and changing pad: I never thought I would be excited to get a crib mattress or a changing table pad. Not only do they look chic, but they have a breathability that allows babies to sleep longer and deeper

9. Lots of cozy blankets: From Barefoot Dreams to Kardashian Kids, you really cannot have enough soft and cozy blankies.

10. Prada Diaper Bag –  The best diaper bag I have ever used so far is my Prada diaper bag that my sister Kim bought for me. It’s simple, has lots of amazing compartments and is made of the perfect fabric which can be easily wiped down. It’s all about having lots of different compartments when it comes to a diaper bag!

Breastmilk Lotion

One thing I have always done for all of my children is to make breastmilk lotion. I know it sounds creepy but it's extremely helpful against eczema, psoriasis, sunburns, and itchy dry skin. Below I've written the recipe if anyone would like to give it a try!

Breast Milk Lotion:

3 ounces of breastmilk

3 ounces of oil (grape seed oil for sensitive skin)

1 tablespoon of beeswax

A few drops of Vitamin E oil

Optional; add essential oils for therapy/scent.

Microwave the oil and beeswax slowly just until the beeswax melts, approximately 3 minutes.

Add the Vitamin E oil and slowly pour in the room temperature breastmilk while whisking rapidly until it thickens.

Pour into shallow jars or lotion tubes. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Refrigerate and use for up to 3 months. 

And that is all. Super easy and super affordable. Happy lathering up dolls!

How Do I Do It?

Last week I was out and about running errands when a young woman came up to me and said "May I ask you a question?" My first thought was Oh, she wants a picture or autograph. So you can imagine my shock when she looked at me and instead said "How do you do it? How do you mother 3 children and still work and have a successful business?" I wanted to answer her, I really did but I didn't even know the answer to the question myself. All I could say was I just do it... Granted my answer was disappointing but since meeting that young lady, I have thought long and hard about my answer and this is what I've come down too... Balance. 

Everyday I balance 3 kids and a work load most people could not even begin to imagine. From wiping noses, to answering business calls, to feeding mouths, to attending design meetings. 

When I had Mason, I constantly had "Mommy Guilt". Ladies, you HAVE to let the Mommy Guilt go. As a mother, you are doing the best you can and as long as you know that, that's everything. Worrying about whether you should have done this instead of that won't help you when you're sitting at work in a meeting.

A desire for a career does not make you a bad mother. In fact, it's quite the opposite. You should be proud that you're showing your child that moms can be CEO's too. 

Find other moms who also work outside of the home too. The support you get from Mommy Groups can never be turned down.

Don't be afraid to ask for help. You are not super woman, needing help doesn't make you incapable or a bad mom. Everyone needs help. Ask your significant other, family, friends, ect for support and help.

And lastly; Take "Me" Time. Even if it's just taking a cooking class or getting to take a hot bubble bath for an hour. Don't forget you!
