life with two sets of twins
Since I am a second time twin mom I really knew what I actually NEEDED in my diaper bag this time. I am the type of person who hates to even carry around a purse so less is more to me! However, “less is more” doesn’t always apply when you have two little ones. Double the babies, double the shit stuff. I’m going to share what I think are the most important items to keep in your diaper bag. Please note: what you’ll want to pack will vary depending on your child’s age.
SIX MONTHS. HALF A YEAR. Yep, Harper and Mason are (well since I’m late posting their update 😉 ) now over six months old. That seems like pure craziness to me. Shouldn’t I still be swaddling my newborns? Weren’t we just putting them in the car seats for the first time and carrying them out of the hospital? Oh no, cue all the ugly mama bear tears. It goes by WAY to fast. Okay, I won’t get too emotional here. Lets move on before I wake them up from their naps just to hold them tight…
It can be really hard to buy for a newborn-6 month old baby. They’re at an age where they are just discovering new things, not very mobile and they honestly aren’t going to care what you get them. Since my little babes are 5 months old now and lots of people are asking me what they should get them for the holidays, I wanted to put together a little gift guide. I also like to shop small whenever possible so all items featured are from small shops! I’m ALWAYS stalking Instagram or Etsy for the cutest baby items. When you shop small you are going to find handmade (aka WELL made) items that most likely your recipient doesn’t already have. Here is a list of useful gifts that both mom and baby will appreciate. 🙂
