3 Tips for Starting A Baby Registry

3 Tips For Starting A Baby Registry

I am a member of the buybuy BABY babyhood influencer network, however all opinions expressed in this post are my own. #babyhood #rockyourbabyregistry
2015-08-28 16.23.50

Your laying bed. It’s 3 am. You can’t sleep. Your mind is racing. About your baby. I know this feeling all too well. I experienced it a lot during my pregnancy. What will their personality be like? Will they like this swing or that playard? Will this bottle work best, or this one? A million questions came in my mind and it was overwhelming. I read tons of posts about top registry items and talked with friends, but it was hard to shake the feeling of being unprepared especially when it came to what to put on our baby registry. Everything seemed foreign. Because of this, today I am going to share 3 Tips For Starting A Baby Registry:
 
2015-08-28 16.25.16

1. Register at buybuy BABY

buybuy BABY is my absolute favorite baby store. I was blown away from the second I stepped in the door. Everything is well organized and labeled. Plus, they have different sections that are very well laid out and have the best brands! You can find unique brands with fantastic quality at their stores. Plus, their customer service is on point. When I am in there, not only do their employees ask if they can help you find anything, but they are knowledgeable to inform you about different brands, etc. It is amazing! It will put your mama mind at ease.  Their mission is to ensure that new and expectant parents have everything they need to confidently welcome their baby and navigate the transitions of life as a family.

 

In the journey of parenthood there are fun parts and messy parts, celebrations and challenges, dreamy snuggles and sleepless nights. And they are thrilled to be there for you every step of the way, with helpful guidance and an amazing selection of everything from the best of the best baby gear along with everybody’s favorites – all at everyday low prices.

 

They are doing things right. You can shop online or in store where their expert associates can help you prepare for pregnancy, parenthood, toddler transitions, and everything in between.

 

2. Use their guides and personnel

Like I mentioned above, their employees are amazing. Use their knowledge. At buybuy BABY, their product experts understand your needs, explain the options, and help you make the best choices for you and your family. Also, take advantage of their Registry Consultants. They will take you through every step of the process and help you determine which products best suit your needs. You will also receive a free good bag filled with samples and coupons. With their registry KickStarters, you can see top picks from their experts and explore different recommendations. They also have a registry completion discount and a refer a friend reward.

 

2015-08-28 16.26.44 3. Relax 

The most important thing is to relax. Go with your instinct. You don’t realize it yet, but I promise, it will just come to you once your baby is born and you will be surprised how well your decisions were while you were pregnant. Your baby is a mixture of you two. It’s amazing how you will just know what to do. You will learn things along the way and it is easy to return things (keep your tags on and receipts to make it easy). Try not to stress to much over which bottle brand to use or which blankets to register for. It will all be okay. You will find products you love and products that don’t work for you. It is all a learning process so sit back and enjoy it.

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?

I turned @helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, a pound of ground beef and simple toppings into a Loaded Cheeseburger Bar with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Helper helps you feed your family for less while making it easy to create a delicious, comforting dinner in under 20 minutes. I love that everyone can make it their way and build their own bowl!

  • No gatekeeping here… this is my #1 planner tip for middle school. ✏️📓

I’m teaching my daughter how to actually use a planner this year, and @pilotpenusa FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens are the MUST HAVE. Because assignments, tests, activities and plans are going to change and I don’t want her planner covered in confusing, crossed-out dates. 😂

I also love that she can choose her colors based on her vibe. We’re using ZenFocus for schoolwork and assignments and DreamGlow for goals, creative ideas and the things she’s excited about this year. 💚💙💗💜

Middle school is a big enough adjustment. If I can help her feel a little more organized and prepared going into it, I’m calling that a win.

  • Save this for your next couples getaway near Houston 🤍✨

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️

📍 The San Luis Resort | Galveston, TX

Save this for your next couples trip from Houston!

  • If you’re heading to @homedepot anytime soon… SAVE THIS! 👀🧡 I found SO many good home finds on my trip to Atlanta for Home Depot Unmatched, and these made the list!

✨ My favorite: this fan! Our old one was putting out basically ZERO air, and this one has completely changed the game. It’s functional AND so chic… now I want to replace every bedroom fan in our house 😂

🔥 Kevin’s favorite: the grill — and yes, it has a SEAR ZONE!

The RYOBI detail scrubber kit is another must-have (seriously, cleaning just got a whole lot easier), plus the clamp fan kit and so many other smart home finds you’ll want to see.

🧡 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links!
