Let’s tell it like it is: motherhood is quite a demanding job;  Little conveniences and pleasures can go a long way to making #momlife easier and sweeter – especially if you are a new mom or first-time mom!

The following is a listing of services, products and must-have tips that help keep me organized and make my life as a busy, first-time mom AND Mompreneur easier – including all that I use within my own online business (#4!)

 1. Amazon Prime:

Not surprisingly, Amazon Prime is first on my list. That’s because it’s an absolute mom must-have! I do about 90% of my shopping through Amazon.com if you hadn’t picked up on that from this blog. Not only is FREE 2-day shipping nice, but you can also stream tons of kiddo shows from Amazon video (i.e. Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger, etc.), which comes with the yearly Prime membership. I think Amazon Prime is definitely worth the investment – $99 per year or $10.99 per month. The first 30 days of the annual subscription are free, and you can cancel anytime!

2. Packed To Perfection Series:

The intention of this series of posts is to help reduce the mental loadof motherhood through organization and checklists. You’ll find tips and tricks for packing essential kits and bags for every occasion (diaper bag, pumping bag, daycare bag, carry-on bag, suitcases, etc.) for babies, toddlers and their mamas to make mommin’ just a little easier and more organized. Two of the most popular posts in the series are about what to pack in a pumping bag, and what to pack in a carry-on bag to entertain a toddler on an airplane! Make sure to download the free printables within these posts to laminate and keep in your bags and/or kits – take the stress off of having to make a packing list (mental or otherwise) again and Get out the door with a little less stress.

3.Affordable Non-Toxic Household Products:

Our family has made the switch to all things clean and nontoxic when it comes to our household cleaning products and many of our personal care items. I started using the Think Dirty app, and it opened my eyes to ALL the chemicals I don’t want myself or my family ingesting! Fortunately, I found the Amazon Prime of all things non-toxic and clean living: Easy shopping experience, 3 Day shipping, amazing scents (without the use of fragrance!), and a large variety of items to replace your chemical-filled versions (the Room Spray, Laundry Packs, and EWG approved Toothpaste are amongst our family favorites)!  I’m also a total sucker for packaging, and this line is modern, clean and GORGEOUS. Annnnd they also happen to carry Liquid Collagen which is essential lyTHE Fountain of Youth in a bottle. You’re welcome ; )

4.For My Fellow or Aspiring #Mompreneurs: 

Below are links to many of the products, resources, equipment, etc. I use in business, blogging, photography, organization, live video, etc.  as I am often asked,  “what do you use/recommend and where do you get it?”. If there is ever something you’re wondering, “what does she use?” – just reach out via email (ashley@taylor-mademama.com)! I’m happy to share.

5. Trifecta Meal Delivery Service:

I used this meal delivery service for 5 months post-partum and it was key to shedding the “baby weight” and taking off some of the mental load of being a new mama. I now use them as we’re in a very busy season where it’s tempting to grab takeout more often than we would like to – having these meals in the fridge makes making the healthy choice convenient + simple!!

There are meal options for paleo, keto, clean, classic, and a la carte! All of the ingredients are organic, delivered every Friday, and you can keep the meals in the fridge for up to 10 days (they come fresh, not frozen, in an insulated box). My favorite are the paleo meals – so tasty!!
