On a Roll
Inspired by the vintage VW bus, this cool stroller wagon is as practical as it is stylish. The retro ride has functioning headlights, all-terrain wheels, flexible seats and a front zipper door for easy access. The adjustable vegan handlebar accommodates various heights, and there’s a detachable canopy for sun protection. Plus, it’s easy to fold, stands upright, and has room for up to four passengers, so friends can ride along. One of my favorite wagons for our Florida kids. potterybarnkids.com

This elegant gift, ideal for children aged 6-18 months, is one new parents will cherish and pass down through generations. hermes.com

Baby Blues
One of the struggles we mothers face during pregnancy is how to be fashionable yet comfortable. While pregnant, I chose to invest in staple, feminine pieces that I could keep wearing long after the babies came. This Temptation Positano dress, from Marissa Collections, is the perfect investment. The breezy cotton dress can be worn multiple ways—class it up with heels or layer over a swimsuit as a casual cover-up. This little blue dress will be with you throughout your entire motherhood journey. marissacollections.com

Sun-Kissed
I recently discovered Noodle, a Cape Coral brand specializing in sun-safe gear for active kids. Living in Florida, I constantly worry about my children’s fair skin and eyes. And boy, do I wish I would have known about Noodle’s Shady Babies when my boys first started venturing into the sun. These bendy sunglasses offer UV400 safety lenses to shield sensitive eyes and a removable, adjustable cotton strap that ensures a secure fit without snagging your little one’s hair. Bonus—the shades fit our furry friends, too. noodlethelabel.com
