My biggest takeaway when it comes to what you need for the baby years is to keep it simple. The mental load of motherhood starts even before baby arrives and I remember trying to make these decisions was fun and overwhelming at the same time. I’ve made it easy with just the essentials and a checklist to keep you organized.
Here are the essential nursery items I recommend. Head to the blog for a full list of items and a free downloadable checklist of registry essentials.
