first year favorites.

We have had the ultimate week of being snowed in. Well, iced in really, but who cares?! A week of no school, no ball games, and nothing on the schedule but breakfast, lunch, and dinner together in OUR house! It is has really been the best of breaks.

With all this new found time at home, I have cleaned closest, rested quite a bit, and then cleaned a little more.  My cleaning venture lead me to Cambell's closet, and I must say I have to tread lightly when packing up her sweet clothes, shoes, and some toys she has outgrown.  I just can't help but tear up as a box it away because she is growing, and way to fast if I might add.  

I just love her baby things and items that help us survive the first year! And these are must have items.

In no particular order :


1. Blooming Bath - this little gem is a bath time must have. This was perfect for the sink, and we used it in the tub to lay and sit on before she began to move around on her own. It is an infant must have and so much better than those awkward infant tubs.  Well worth $40. (Colors: yellow, pink, blue, & cream)

2. Littehipsqueaks organic cotton blanket. So soft and sweet and comes in a variety of colors. Stumbled upon this etsy shop and LOVE them. Cambell always naps with a blanket up around her face.

3. Paul Mitchell Baby Shampoo my sweet friend and very perfect gift giver (if I might add) Taylor included a bottle of baby heaven. Cambell never had cradle cap or lost any hair as an infant. This stuff smells wonderful and has lasted over an entire year!

4. Graco aspiratorNumerous screaming encounters lead us to this lifesaver. I started out with a suction bulb, but after reading an article about it trapping mold tossed it out and replaced it with this less tearful battery power snot genie!

5. Sound machine.  Perfect for naps and at night. I designated a sound for napping and sound for at night. I hit repeat long after Cambell is dreaming and just can't part with putting it away just yet.
