Absolute Must Haves for Babies

Being a first time mom is scary and brings so much uncertainty. It is definitely a learn as you go process. No child is the same. Below, I am going to share with you some items that I consider "Absolute Must Haves." These items are things I wish I had known about sooner. Read along with me and let me help make your mama life easier. 

1. Toy Straps 

My little one has found her ability to throw things and push things out of her way. It is almost a game to her, or I think it is anyway. These are a LIFE SAVER! It is especially helpful for eating out, grocery shopping, walks in the stroller, and keeping toys and pacifiers connected to the baby and the carseat during car rides. These toy straps also help keeps toys off of the floor and clean for the mouths of babies. Let's be honest, if your little one is anything like mine, everything goes straight for the mouth. EVERYTHING! Click the link below the picture and snag these now!

Introducing...Me!

 Hello all! 

My name is Taylor. I am a wife, mother, teacher, coach, follower of Christ, and true fashionista.

 I have been married to my husband for two years, but we have been together a total of four years. Just to share how small of a world it is, we have known of each other since high school, but never pursued one another until after college. We met the January before Covid hit, and we hit it off instantly. It only took me about three weeks to know this was the man I wanted to spend forever with. It has been a wonderful four years, and I love him more with every passing day. 

We have a daughter who is three months shy of a year old. Man, that went fast! She entered the world in October of 2022. She is the light of our world! She makes every bad day a good day. She has the prettiest blue eyes and a smile that will light up any room. I am not partial or anything! I thank God everyday for allowing me to be her mother. I do not know what we ever did without her. 

Aside from my primary job of being a wife and mother, which I absolutely love, I am a teacher and coach. Teaching and coaching is a passion. It is a calling. Teaching is not for the weak of heart! Days are long...very long. And, not only are they long, but they can be difficult. But, my love for reading and helping kiddos thrive keeps me going! My family and I love attending sporting and family events. I grew up the daughter of a coach and married one, too. So, no chance at not liking sports or sporting events. It keeps us busy and on the go!

As much as I love my chaotic life, I am so thankful for the Lord's mercy and grace. I fall short and fail, daily. More like, ALL of the time. But, the Lord shows me mercy and covers me with his grace. Not only during the hard days, but the easy ones, too. I try to do the same in return for others, having mercy and showing  grace. I know how much I need it, so others deserve it, too.
