DIY Easter Basket for Babies
This is my daughter’s first Easter. She will be 9 months at Easter and getting stuff for a little baby is usually hard to find one pre-made. Making one yourself is not only easy, it is also much better since you can control what goes in it. Shoot, I will likely do this for every Easter versus buying the pre-made ones (we will see though). Our family is religious and celebrate that aspect of it, but a little Easter bunny fun is always appreciated / enjoyable.

I have a ton of friends that have had babies over the years and learned from their mistakes as well. These products I am sharing with you are products that I personally own, use frequently and LOVE. I have a huge Amazon obsession – who doesn’t love getting products delivered to their door within a couple of days (or day)? I wanted to put together a consolidated list of my favorite ‘new mom’ items to help future mommies out. I consider these an absolute must (or should haves) for new moms – trust me, I’ve done a TON of research on my end for each and every product I buy.
