A few months ago I reached out to my friends on Facebook and asked them the following question:

"Mommy friends, I'm wanting to write a blog post on newborn/baby/nursery items you couldn't live without. Please pop me a comment below with those things you loved/found so useful/couldn't live without <3

Please include the brand names you liked!"

Here is a list of items/tips/recommendations & advice that my wonderful (and experienced!) mommy friends shared with me. I hope you find their thoughts as helpful as I did, and if there is anything else you'd like to add please feel free to leave a comment below:

My Winter Skincare Routine - Combating Winter Dryness & Pregnancy Eczema

Hi Friend!

I’m Roxy & I’m so excited that you’re here. Welcome to my {pretty} little corner of the world wide web.

CGS is a lifestyle blog, where I share all sorts of posts from pregnancy, to life with (3) babies on a dairy farm, to makeup & skincare reviews. I’m also a #clothnappy addict, and always love sharing tips and advice on how to start using cloth for your babes. I’m also very into making my own Kombucha and yoghurt, and I swear by a strict routine and no sugar or processed carbs in your little one’s diet…I share tips & recipes for how you can do the same. Finally, I also love sharing more about blogging & tips for running a creative business.

So get comfy, grab a cup of tea and & make yourself at home.
