I love writing this post every year. I keep a list of products all year long and then whittle them down to include here. This year's list is disorganized and all over the place (#pregnantandalso2020) but it's full of a lot of great things that have made my life better in 2020.
I'm sure I'm missing some as I have not been on my A-game lately but if I think of more I'll add them to the list.
A few weeks ago, I received a gift from a local female-owned New England-based brand that made me cry. Pregnancy hormones are real!
Over a year ago, Haverhill had asked me if I wanted one of their custom birthstones necklaces and I told them at the time that I'd like to wait until I got pregnant so I could fill it with birthstones for the entire family.
My friend Liz wrote a post a few years ago when she was pregnant with her second boy (she's now on her third!) about her fears around having a second baby and I remember tearing up while reading it at the time. The Everymom posted a similar article earlier this year. I've reread both posts recently since this topic has been on my own mind a lot lately and they resonated a whole lot more now that I'm on my way to becoming a mom of two.
I think that every mother's fantasy is to have someone else clean her home and pick up after her children. It's a nonstop ongoing battle that can never be won!
In one of my very favorite partnerships of all time (seriously), last week Merry Maids of Fairfield came over to clean my entire house for me.
