# Well-Made, Practical, Design Forward Registry

Hi! I’m a mom to two little ones and even as someone who enjoys the researching of products and preparing for the “stuff” part of baby, it can be a lot! There are a lot of unique home/family/baby situations making everyone’s “must-have” lists a little different. Allow this time to give you more parenthood practice in discerning, “is this really a must for me?”

Personally, I strive to buy products that are well-made, practical and design forward because I buy with intention to use for multiple children and am conscious of the way I create a tidy and calm home even if life with kids is anything but that! For more perspective I exclusively breastfeed, try avoiding plastics, and am sharing items that have been useful for both of my babies. If that sounds anything like you/your values, I hope this guide helps!
