Kind of "basic" but we love Port A. The ease of hopping in the golf cart and cruising around is so fun. We love the little town and my daughter was 2 when we first went and she still remembers that trip (she's 5 next month). It's a great little getaway in under 3 hours from Austin.

With the ages of our kids, we opt for easy and convenient. We've done Cancun (all inclusive at Fiesta Americana through a Costco deal that included transportation) and that was another great spot! When they're older, we'll go to places with better restaurants or excursions, but for now, being able to stay on a property and have zero itinerary is the way to go.

I have two kids and have been giving them raw milk since they turned 1. They do great with it!

I used to do Richardson's but they've had a shortage for so long and getting to the FM isn't always convenient so I started ordering from Kettler's and picking up at Local Pastures off Oltorf.

Ten Littles has a hassle-free return policy so I usually order a couple sizes and either keep the bigger one to grow into or just return if it doesn't fit well.

Cute styles and gives the best support and allows them to have space for their growing feet.

Solid wood boards. Unfortunately, even wooden boards you'd find at Home Goods or Target are glued together. Here's one I recently bought that's on sale and I love: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PMF383O?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

It does need to be oiled regularly. But the upkeep isn't too bad! Def worth it

ALL OF THE ABOVE! But what really helped do it for me is realize that these influencers are basically Amazon commercials. I’ve never seen an Amazon ad while watching Hulu but my entire social media feed were “must have items for your home”. I actually deleted IG because that was the root of where I’d find all these items. Like you said, they get used but it’s not something you went searching for.

I kept my Amazon but without IG, I literally don’t see any of those items when I’m shopping for what I actually need.

Especially with prime day this week — prob best to stay off socials!
