“What’s your favorite cookware?”
“What cutting board is that?”
“Where did you get your bar spatula?”
This is the spot for it all!
The goal of the Everything List is to provide a singular place for organizing links to the cookware, kitchen appliances, kitchen tools, tableware, beauty products, and even kids and baby supplies that I get asked about most frequently, use most regularly, and recommend most enthusiastically.
None of these recommendations are sponsored, and this page will remain unsponsored! I am hand-selecting these products based on what I like and love and use all the time in real life! ♡

Baby and Kid Stuff
Baby & Nursery
- SNOO Bassinet: We used this with both girls – with Solvi I felt like it really helped her get longer stretches of sleep early on! And then Lena was a bit more tricky. 😂 But it’s beautiful and the great thing about it is that now you can either rent them or just sell yours when you’re done with it!
- Babyletto Crib: Cute little convertible crib to toddler bed that both girls have!
- West Elm x PBT Dresser: We have one of these for both girls! Hoping this is a piece that grows with them for all 18 years.
- Carter’s by DaVinci Glider: We have this glider for Lena and it is perfect for a small nursery!
Sleep and Diapers
- Dyper Diapers: We used this subscription diaper service for both girls – love that these diapers are unscented, made from bamboo, and have no other yucky extras! Big fan.
- HALO Swaddles: Our go-to for swaddles!
- Kyte Baby Sleep Sacks: My absolute favorite sleep sack of all time! They are supremely soft and cozy even after tons of washes. When the girls got older we just bought them the ones with the little feetsies. SO stinking cute!
Baby Gear
- UPPABaby Vista V2 Stroller: Really loved this stroller! Great for multiple configurations with multiple kids.
- Thule Double Jogger Stroller: Could not live without this jogger for warm-weather walks and runs! It is an absolute beast – we bought ours used and it’s still 10/10.

- Solly Baby Baby Wrap: Really love this for a fabric wrap! So comfy and cute!

Baby and Big Kid Eating

- EZPZ Training Cup: Nice little intro-to-drinking cup!
- LuckyZone Cups: Used daily for the last 3 years with kids with beautiful muted colors!
- Bumkins Plates: Also used daily for the last 3 years! Love, love, love. Just make sure you use non-scented soap with these or they will absorb the flavor of the soap (as with all silicone)!
Baby and Big Kid Favorite Toys
- Lovevery Play Gym: Great little play gym for newborns / babies!

- Ten Little Shoes: Favorite for shoes, sandals, and boots!
- Patagonia Infant / Toddler Jacket: We have Patagonia coats for the girls – many of their options are carseat safe which makes traveling around in carseats in the winter so much better.
