Today I thought I’d share our favorite toddler boys’ Amazon finds so far this year. I sorted it into a clothing and toys section to make it super easy. If you’re looking for a few clothing staples for your toddler son (think polos, jeans, athletic shorts) - you’ve come to the right place. I have a hard time finding non-cheesy clothing for little boys - and I usually try to buy something I think my husband would wear - so keep that in mind as you peruse this list :)
I also went back through our Amazon order history this year and evaluated what our favorite toy / book / play purchases have been so far and compiled them below. Trust me, we’ve had to be strategic since we want him as engaged as possible being home so much. Not an easy task for a two year old!

The funny part is, once I had the physical pajamas in my hands I assumed that the hard part was over. Lesson 9,076 in entrepreneurship - it is never over and stuff is just always going to come up that you have to figure out and push through. Amazon was / is a beast - and I didn’t quite realize what I was getting myself into.

As I prepare to expand and integrate COO BABY into a new platform called Motherhood for Me, I find myself reflecting back on the journey so far and all of the steps it’s taken to get to this place. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing a four part series that gives deeper insight into the background and inspiration for both COO BABY and Motherhood for Me, why I feel so passionately about them both, and my vision for how things will look in the future. If you’re interested, please follow along!

Before having my son, I found myself constantly searching online for all of the things I needed to do to prepare for the baby. I’d then feel overwhelmed and nervous that I would forget something and be unprepared after reading lists that gave me 35 things (35 THINGS! WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT?!) I needed to be doing that instant or all hell would break loose. I’m here to tell ya - don’t stress mama. Most of those things are extra and unnecessary. Below I’ve compiled a list of 5 things I shouldn’t have wasted my time and energy on, and then 5 things I should’ve actually been spending my time and energy on. Let us know in the comments below if you have anything you’d add to either list!

We were on week 40, day 6 of pregnancy. It was a Friday morning and my husband and I had woken up for the day just like every other day. I was still working (I work remotely) so I just had to drag my (what felt like huge) body into the kitchen to turn on my laptop, check my emails, and make sure everything was still set and organized for whenever maternity leave would officially start (aka whenever the baby decided to make his debut). My induction was set for 40+10 (my OB wouldn’t let me go longer than that) - so I knew I’d be having him within the week if he didn’t come on his own sooner. My OB also insisted that I head in for a non-stress test that day - just to make sure his heart rate was in a healthy range and that he didn’t seem to be under any stress. The well-meaning texts from friends and family were still coming in - “IS HE HERE YET?!” and “Are you STILL pregnant?”...”YES,” I wanted to scream. “I am still pregnant.”
