White Elephant Gift Guide
I was shocked at how many requests I had last year for white elephant gift ideas. While I am personally not a huge fan of these gifts that don't always get good use, it is always an overwhelming request to include it in gift guides! I asked the community last year to weigh in on gifts they have given or have received that would be perfect for white elephant gifts. A mix of silly, stupid and useful!

Last year I polled you all on the best gifts for essential workers. We have thousands of essential workers in this community who showed up with recommendations!
Daycare and Preschool Essentials
Daycare + Preschool Essentials: Sending your little one to daycare or preschool for the first time can be overwhelming! It is enough to manage the emotions of dropping them off in the hands of others, let alone knowing all the essentials you will need for the baby through toddler stage.

Birthday Gifts for Kids You Don't Know Well
When your kids start daycare or school, they are often invited to several birthday parties of classmates.

If you really want to be prepared, stock up on a few of these so when the time comes you aren't scrambling to get a gift the day of!

Father's Day falls early this year on June 16th! Men are hard to shop for, but when you find quality products they like, many times I find myself buying multiple pairs of things for my husband.

C-Section Recovery Essentials
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. While everyone has different experiences, these were the must have items for me that I would recommend and why!
