I've never claimed to be an expert at this stuff... that will come with time. But I do claim to have some pretty great friends with some pretty great advice. 

As a new mom-to-be, I'm preparing myself with must-have essentials from trusted brands that have been highly recommended to me by parents who have done all the trial and error product purchasing...and re-purchasing... so we don't have to!

I've compiled a gift guide of anything and everything I'd suggest buying for a first-time mom, from my absolute favorite new infant baby carrier in this wild and funky print, to a bebe girl's first (faux) fur coat, to this "bouncy thing" that every mom swears by for some peace and quiet around the house. 

I'm excited to try each of these products out (I've tried many out already, and that's why I've included them), and the rest are on my very own registry list. If it's good enough for my little mini-me, well then...

;)
