☆ My Top 5 Nursery Must Haves ☆
I was thinking back to the time when we were preparing for our first baby. I was so stressed and nervous I wouldn’t have what we needed in our nursery when the baby was born. Also I might add, when we were expecting our first babe we lived in a 600sq ft apartment and didn’t have a ton of space anyway. So I thought I’d share my top 5 items that really followed us from our apartment and the 2 homes we’ve lived in since.
1. White Noise Machine - We have one of these in all the bedrooms of our house, even in our master bedroom. 😂 They block out sounds of creaky floors, cars driving by, dogs barking, etc. I think they help our kids stay asleep and relax too!
2. Diaper Genie - I may catch some flack for this one, but I’ve absolutely loved our diaper genie! I like that there is a designated pail for the stinky diapers and it really does a good job of containing the smell. I found mine 2nd hand on Facebook Marketplace for around $10.
3. Wiper Warmer - I know this item sounds “extra ridiculous “ 🤣 but I’ve seriously loved this thing! It provides easy access to the wipes and also comes with a caddy to store diapers, creams, clippers, etc on the changing table.
4. Changing Pad - Since we lived in such a small space we used a tall dresser to double as a changing table so we’ve used this changing pad on top ever since. Even when we moved and had more room, it was the most practical option for us. The pad has a strap underneath that you drill into the back of the dresser so it doesn’t slip off. You can buy cute covers for it too to match your color scheme.
5 Blackout/Room Darkening Curtains - These curtains are seriously a life saver! Having a dark room helps babies (and adults) stay asleep.
So there you have it! My top 5 nursery must haves. I know they aren’t glamorous items or magazine worthy, but you can select neutral colors for all of these items so they aren’t “IN YOUR FACE” ... I’m a bucket that holds poopy diapers in the corner. 😂 I hope this list helps you or feel free to tag an expecting momma below. http://liketk.it/2TiOD liketkit @liketoknow.it
