Hi readers! I’m Molly from My Favorite Things. Caroline was so sweet to ask me to guest post and I am completely honored. I adore Armelle Jewelry. I actually have on a lovely little necklace as I type.
When Caroline asked me to guest post, she left the topic up to me. Eeep! I hate making decisions. So I put it off, and then put if off some more. And then I realized, I better get to writing or I wouldn’t meet my due date! Seeing as Caroline has already given birth to baby number three, I thought I would share a few thoughts on motherhood.
I am a mom to three, three fantastically wild, completely imaginative, super cuddly boys. Occasionally I wonder what it might be like to mother a girl but I quickly realize that I was made for boys. My first two boys (Tyler + Benjamin) are 19 months apart. The whole first year of Benjamin’s life was a blur. It was super hard and exhausting. So I waited a few years until I knew I wanted one more. Sweet Nicholas Gray was born last year on Halloween and life hasn’t slowed down.
Being a mom to three has made me more confident. Some days I feel like I could conquer the world, where in reality, if I could just conquer the laundry – that would be a small miracle. Motherhood is all encompassing and with each child my heart has grown and stretched in ways I can’t quite describe. Each little guy has woven his tiny spirit into the very essence of who I am. They make me a better person and teach me small things I would never learn, if not for them. But being a mom is hard work and so I thought I would share a few of my favorite newborn essentials that help the transition go a bit smoother. Well, maybe.
Without further ado – my favorite baby gear.

Congrats Caroline! Being a mom to three is exciting. Best of luck on this transition.

I agree, we used all of those products for our second and they were life savers! Great advice.
Oh, the Hanna Andersson sleepers make me miss my babies. They are so perfectly soft~ newborn heaven.
That baby bath tub is the one I wish I had! I have a classic one, and I tell ya, everything cumbersome and awkward about the one I have would be solved with this little one.
Oh, and I love green stripes!
