Sara's Favorites - Mama with a Plan

Sara's Favorites

I will do my best to NOT list the usual suspects here, but some items are favorites by every new mom on the planet for a reason. Trust. With that is mind, with no order of importance, my favs.

One item I am not going to list a link to is a DSLR camera. Buy a good camera, Nikon or Cannon and learn to use it. I mean, take it off Auto and take beautiful pictures of your children. You are the only person who sees them in all of their beauty...daily.

Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse

NO nap or bedtime will happen in my house without this little gem. It\'s the upgraded version of the Glow Worm we grew up with.

Lotus Everywhere Crib

It\'s light, it\'s compact (carry-on size) and set\'s up in about 30 sec. This play-yard sits on the ground so it has no weight limit. Also has a side zipper \"door.\"

lululemon Groove Pant II

Not cheap, but worth the money especially post-partum. The waist is high-rise (or can be rolled) for the baby pooch and the fabric does not loose its shape.

Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy

Some evil genius came up with this toy at Baby Einstein and I could kiss them. It is the ultimate baby \"husher\".

Kinsa Smart Thermometer

We live by our phones. Truth. I can keep up with the whole family and log temps/make notes of when I gave medicine.

Covered Goods Nursing Cover

It’s a nursing cover, infinity scarf and infant car seat cover all rolled into one. What more could you want?

Lillebaby Complete Airflow

Structured carrier that can be used from birth to toddler without any inserts. It also has four carrying positions. I couldn\'t live without this carrier.

Babiators

Babiators are super cute, come in multiple colors and are sized for babies and kids. These are the only sunglasses that will fit Grady’s little noggin.

Peggy Li Nameplate Necklace

Mom\'s love personalized jewelry. I saw this on Hart of Dixie and researched until I found it. Comes in multiple lengths and finishes.

Hanna Andersson Sleepers

The best sleepers ever. Organic cotton, fun patterns and they zip (for late night changes). Grady is a long baby and these fit him beautifully.

Fisher-Price 2-in-1 Sensory Stages Bouncer

I currently have a love/hate relationship with this one (more on this later). Grady loves it, so that is all that matters.

LEKA Play mat

This play mat from IKEA is a staple for us. We take it everywhere. Grady loves tummy time on it and trying to pick the little dots off. You can actually order this one online.

DOHM Sound Machine

Babies love white noise. This little machine is compact and can be adjusted. I love that is produces a good amount of noise and is small enough to travel with.

Aden + Anais Muslin Lovey

Everything by Aden + Anais is great. Grady loves this little lovey. I like that it is muslin so I don\'t worry about him sleeping with it.

WubbaNub

At first I thought these were crazy, boy was I wrong. It is a great soother and companion for my little one. Ours is named Mr. Nubbles

O'Baby App

What a great app for adding text to all of your little one\'s milestones. I used it to date my bump pictures and now for pictures of Grady.
