Unsung Hero Baby Products
If you have children or are currently expecting, you know that the best baby products are often the workhorses that you don't even think about when you are telling a friend about your favorite baby products. Despite rarely giving them out as recommendations, you would not have survived parenthood without them.
If you're a new or soon-to-be parent you might be wondering what these "unsung hero" baby products are that people love but don't always think to recommend, so I listed out a few of my favorites below. I will update this when I think about all of the items I missed because it's REALLY hard to think about the things that make a huge difference but we don't think about much every day!

Summer Activities
It's finally summer! The days of warm weather, vacations, swimming, and grilling are finally here!
For some parts of the country, the summer is when you hibernate (looking at you Florida and Arizona), but for the majority of us summer is when we try to maximize our time outside to prepare for colder temps in just a few short months! For parents, especially new parents, summer activities look a bit different than they did in the past.
There are a TON of ways to enjoy the outdoors, but for sleep-deprived parents who want to spend more time outdoors this summer without having to think about it, this list is a good place to start!
