If you are celebrating one of your child's first Easters, I love to stuff their Easter basket with a mix of practical items they will need for spring and summer, along with some fun sensory toys that will get good use as they continue to develop and explore the world around them!

You all know by now I love building a book collection for my kids for every holiday! There are so many great Easter books out there for kids of all ages that both celebrate the meaning of the holiday and also the change of seasons welcoming Spring! I have broken down my recommendations into two categories. First, board books that are great for younger kids, many of which include lift-a-flaps and interactive pages. And secondly, story books for kids who are a little older and love to sit through and understand the meaning of a story or perhaps read one themselves!

Flying with a child ages 9-24 months old is the hardest age, in my opinion! They want to move and be active and don't have the attention span for many activities or watching a tablet yet.

All 3 of our kids have gone to daycare since they were infants and here are the must haves that we have used throughout the years!

I had a planned C-Section with my third child due to placenta previa. I am not going to sugar coat that it was easy, but like anything the challenges of it seem so distant as time goes on. There were a handful of essentials that were a game changer for my comfort and healing in the first few weeks after delivery.

Here is my list of essentials I have packed and ready to go!
