If we’re walking to the beach, we use our everyday stroller that has a big storage basket underneath to wheel most of our beach baby essentials. As I mentioned above, we just use our everyday stroller when we’re walking from our house (once we get to the beach we carry it to our spot because it’s not great for your stroller to be in a lot of sand with the salt if it’s not meant to be). We have this collapsible wagon to help us wheel whatever we need when the time comes that we need to bring more toys and entertainment for the baby. A wet pouch with diapers and wipes (and another empty wet bag for bathing suit, etc.), burp cloths (an extra goes in the cooler to wipe her down if it’s hot) and a bunch of toys that are easy to wash the sand off of like these stacking cups or this rattle.

Since we’ve been quarantining for well over a month now, my everyday wardrobe hasn’t changed much from what I’ve been wearing all of maternity leave… pajamas on a lazy day and my “nice” leggings and sweatshirts or thermals on a good day. And I’m wearing them with some of the cozy tie dye sweatshirts I actually bought when I was pregnant (nice and oversized still works now!). If you’re looking for something comfortable that will work for days spent in the house that will also work for everyday life, check out my picks for cozy tie dye sweatshirts. Tell me your favorite cozy tie dye sweatshirts or casual athleisure

Right now we use the stroller with our car seat clicked in as the seat via the adapter (easiest when we are already putting her in the car seat or even if we are going to a restaurant where we want her to be sitting more upright in the car seat) or with the bassinet the stroller comes with (mainly for longer walks). We also use the stroller’s bassinet in the house for naps upstairs (you can also buy this stand if you want it to be your primary bassinet Once we get to the second stage of the car seat, the brand recommends you leave it in the car because at that point she will be pretty heavy to lift in and out with the car seat and will be in our regular stroller seat anyway. It’s also a great second seat to have around because it’s so affordable

While Sofia won’t be hunting for eggs or baskets, I wanted to start off the tradition of Easter right with a proper Basket, made easy with easy, affordable Easter gifts on Amazon – perfect for last-minute Prime shopping. especially those like our baby who just started playing with toys and wants to put everything in her mouth – this carrot teether is highly rated and this bunny toy is a fun version of her other favorite toy, the Winkel. You can get board books like Peter Rabbit for under $5 and my friend said her daughter loves these shaker musical eggs still from last year.
