The MVP of Baby Gifts

Saturday night I was heading to a special baby shower and I posted a picture of my gift bag on Facebook and Instagram.  I said the MVP of baby gifts was inside the bag and to check out the blog on Monday to see what’s inside.  Well, here is what I believe to be the Mother of all necessary baby gear:

It’s the Marpac Dohm Sound Conditioner, a.k.a. The SleepMate.  This sound conditioner is better than the rest because the Dohm’s sound is real, made by a fan inside.  So there’s no electronic loop of sounds I always end up putting words to, torture!  The Dohm is also loud and soothing.  The reason this is the MVP of all baby gifts is because the instant we started using this I saw a huge improvement in our baby girl’s sleep.  We had it rough when it came to sleep and the Dohm was the sound machine that kept her asleep and could mask all the other noises that had been waking her throughout the day and night.

There is a single speed version and a dual speed version of the Dohm.  I set ours (we have 3) as loud as they will go so we only need the single speed (it costs less), no need for a quiet model!  If you’re in need of this miracle worker, I just checked Drugstore.com and their price is better than Amazon Prime, tell it to your neighbor!  The Dohm Single Speed from Drugstore.com is $44.95, free shipping and no tax.

The other item in the bag was not around when I had infants in car carriers.  It’s the My Baby SoundSpa On-The-Go, genius!  A clip on sound machine!  Why didn’t I think of this?!

Lastly, we were asked to bring a book for the baby girl.  You Are My Cupcake by Joyce Wan is still a favorite, so sweet!

While we were in Cabo we got a call from home that While we were in Cabo we got a call from home that our garage door broke and wouldn’t close. This can be a dangerous situation because it’s a heavy piece of woodwork, the cord can snap and the door can fall! @mygoodsmith was our hero, came over early Saturday to assess the situation and make sure our kids were safe by staying away from it. 🙏🏼 Then their Garage Door Partner was out a few hours later and fixed it! 😅 All of this happened while we were relaxing on a beach 1,000 miles away from home! Thank you @mygoodsmith and Morgan Booth for coming to the rescue! 😃

I like to save my Nordstrom Notes and use them tow I like to save my Nordstrom Notes and use them towards a bag. I’m not sure when this tradition started but I like it! 😃 This time I needed a new bag for travel and this tote has been perfect! Everything fits in here, even my laptop! It’s so squishy and soft, I could take a nap on it. 😴 And it has a removable pouch big enough to hold a change of clothes and flip flops just in case. I appreciate all the details, you’ll have to check them out in the next photos: the red on the edge of the leather, the yellow stitching and the hot pink interior. 😍 If you’re needing a new tote, check this one out through the link in my profile 👉 @tellittoyourneighbor. And if you’re not in the market, check out my aerial photos I took from the airplanes. It’s my in-flight entertainment! 📸 Let me know if you spot your office building, your favorite hotel, your local elementary or maybe your house! 👀 Thank you!!
