My Faves!
After being in this field for as long as I have been in a variety of homes, you start to pick favorites... but I'm not talking people.
​
After countless walks with different baby gear, jumps in puddles, days at the beach, and toting bottles, diapers, and extra clothes, I started picking favorites! I've linked some recommendations for gear, books, outdoor clothes, diaper bags and even some of my favorite podcasts and creators.

Kiddo Gear
If pushing a stroller with a wonky wheel, struggling to clip a baby carrier while the baby cries, or panicking to find a potty for a toilet-learning toddler makes you feel a twang in your tummy, you're in good company!
​
I have been there! Sometimes, there is no tree or private area for your toddler to go. Sometimes, you're alone and you just want to get that sweet sad little baby snuggled in the carrier, and the stinking shoulder clip won't clip! Sometimes, that stroller you bought recently just pushes like it has a personal agenda to make your life tough.
​
After MUCH frustration and making it work, I've found some things that I just love!

Childrearing Resources
There is SO much advice for parents and caregivers. It can be so difficult to sort out information and see what resonates with you. While my beliefs surrounding childhood and caretaking have changed and developed over time, there are some that remain steadfast and are ingrained in my very being.
I'm an avid reader, and I have a deep and vast love of learning. These are some of my favorite reads that align with my beliefs around childhood and pertain to caretaking and raising precious kiddos!
​
When I'm not reading in my free-time, chances are, I have an AirPod in and I'm plugged into my favorite nanny, birth, and parenting podcasts.

Local Family Resources
After working in Southern Maine for half a decade, I have been so lucky to meet, network, and come across so many individuals and spaces that just love families and children so much!
Here I share amazing resources and spaces in Southern Maine, from mom support groups to kids' play spaces to chiropractic spaces that embrace parents and nannies who need care, but come with additional party members in tow. I hope you are able to find what you're looking for here and love these spaces as much as I have.
