Diapers are rarely the kind of thing that expectant parents get excited about. They are a practical necessity, though, for anyone expecting a new baby. I usually advise expecting parents to purchase both preemie size and newborn size diapers. There’s always a chance that your baby could come early or be on the small side, and the preemie diapers are a great fit for smaller newborns. In terms of a brand, I recommend Pampers diapers. I find that they are more absorbent, easier to put on, and higher quality than many other brands out there.

Traditional mobs can be challenging to use. You have to get out a bucket and fill it with water, and find the right cleaning solution. You then have to mop your whole floor, probably getting too much water and soap everywhere. You have to wring out the mop, creating a big bucket of soapy, dirty water that needs to be emptied. It’s a pain, and I know it’s a big reason why I rarely mop my floor.

If you’re a parent during the pandemic — and especially if you’re a Californian parent during the pandemic — your kid probably spends a lot of time watching you driving.

The Melissa and Doug Paw Patrol Rescue Dashboard capitalizes on that fascination, allowing your kid to interact with a variety of car-like controls, as well as their favorite Paw Patrol pups.

That’s a bit safer than wood, but with three kids in the house, I still didn’t want any kind of fireplace going in my home. That’s why I turned to the Decanit Fireplace Lantern.
