A few of my favorite (baby) things...

1. My post-natal/nursing mama vitamins. I use Pure Essence Labs Mother and Child vitamins and love them! They are more expensive than getting the ones from the doctor, but they are so worth it to me. I have so much more energy and they are specially formulated to help mama produce more and better milk. But I'd have to say that extra energy I get from them is what really keeps me coming back for the $35 bottle at iherb.com!

2. My coming home/car seat quilt. Before I made these cute quilts for my babies I was always having trouble keeping the big blankets from falling out of the swing, carseat, stroller and bouncer. Now I can put this blanket on and not worry it will be too heavy and fall off!

3. My wrap. This is simply 6 yards of gauze material ripped in half horizontally. It cost me $6 to make and it's been such a lifesaver. Gideon really likes to be held close all the time. Without my wrap I would be so frustrated trying to get anything done and take care of all my other children. He seems happier in the wrap than in my arms even.

4. My ring sling. Faster to get baby in than the wrap, this carrier makes him just as happy. I was so blessed to receive a maya wrap ring sling from a friend who didn't need it. I can't wait to use this at the store and church. Thank you, Shannon!


5. My aquarium swing. Something about the side to side motion seems to really soothe the babies!

6. My God-given milk makers. Thank you Lord that I've had such an easy time with nursing these little ones! It is such a blessing to have "free" food for the first year.
