30 Things I’m Loving Lately: New Mom Edition

March 7, 2025 By Melanie No Comments

Hi friends! I’m back with another round of “what I’m loving lately” featuring some of my favorite things that have been helpful during this new chapter of life. As a new mom, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what products I actually use for my baby girl and I’m excited to dive into our essentials!

Along with all things baby related, I’ve also shared some of the usual categories like what I’m watching, reading, and wearing, as well as the two postpartum workout programs I HIGHLY recommend.

So whether you’re also navigating motherhood or are just looking for some fun inspo, I hope you enjoy this roundup of 30 things I’m Loving Lately.

Lovevery Playmat in our nursery

Baby Essentials: 

Ergobaby Bouncer: We use this bouncer daily and it’s a must have for any new mom. I love how the infant insert is so easily washable (as it tends to be Lily’s favorite spot to go number 2).

Coterie Diapers: I know these diapers are so boujee but we’ve tried several brands and they easily are the best ones. They’re super soft, made with clean ingredients, absorb very well and have prevented many a blowout

Uppababy Cruz V2 stroller: This stroller folds up so easily and handles different terrain really well! We love the different attachments and have been using the bassinet feature on most of our neighborhood walks and the car seat when we take her somewhere new

Baby Delight Heirloom Bassinet: We wanted a safe space that wasn’t on the floor that could serve as a little playtime area in our family room. This bassinet is spacious, easy to move around and very aesthetic! We attach a toy bar to the top and the infant lounger fits perfectly inside when she needs some more coziness

Momcozy 2-in-1 Nasal Aspirator : This has been SO helpful for clearing her nose daily! The bulb syringe was useless on her small nostrils and she hated the Frida sucker (I found it hard to control the level of suction each time with that). This tool is a mister and has a battery powered aspirator with a very low level suction that our baby finds amusing while also still getting the snot out!

Rubber Duck Bath Thermometer : A must have for baby baths! And it’s a cute accessory to have in the tub

Magnetic Me Onsies: These are pricey but make diaper changes, especially in the middle of the night, SO easy. The material is also super soft and stretchy compared to other baby sleepers

Mabe Carrier: I didn’t love the solly wrap as much as I thought it would (it just feels too thin and flimsy) but this carrier has been SO handy for wearing her around the house or out and about! Another must have for any new mom.

Lovevery Playmat: It’s a bestseller for a reason! This has captivated her attention the longest while not overstimulating her like some of the other toy bars we have.

Baby Brezza: We use both the sterilizer and the formula pro advance every single day! Both are amazing and so worth it if you’re formula or combo feeding!

Uppa Baby Pack and Play: We used this for the first time during our weekend getaway in the mountains and it worked perfectly as a bedside bassinet! It’s also super lightweight so was easy to bring into the living room to set her in while we cooked.

Tubby Todd Ointment: This cream has been a miracle worker for Lily’s cradle cap! I love that it absorbs really well, you can use it on their face and all over their body, and it doesn’t leave any sort of greasy residue

Astoria Activewear and Stakt Mat

Fitness: 

Astoria Activewear: I think one of the best ways to motivate yourself to workout is to wear a fun matching activewear set that you genuinely feel good in. I loved both of these designs and they fit really well on my postpartum body!

Pilates grip socks : These are a must have for reformer pilates or lagree/megaformer classes! There are lots of cute designs to choose from and the quality is great

Oura Ring: This has been on my wish list for so long and I finally splurged. Tracking sleep, vitals and activity has been really helpful during this phase of life as I’m trying to be more active again

Stakt Mat: The cushion on this mat makes it super comfortable and I love that it folds up rather than rolls for easy storage and portability!

Fourth Wing (first of trilogy)

Books: 

Fourth Wing Series: I flew through the first book and will admit the second book is a bit more of a slow burn (no pun intended). If you’re a fan of fantasy and romance this is for you! But I’ve heard great things about Onyx Storm so I’m excited to finish up Iron Flame and get to the 3rd book soon!

Workouts: 

Sculpt Society Postpartum Program: Megan Roup really has the best sculpt classes around and I love that she has an entire postnatal program focused on restoring your core and pelvic floor muscles while building back up strength and mobility. She even has classes where you can wear your baby!

Form Post Natal Program: If you’re a mom looking for postpartum safe strength training exercises, this program by my friend Calyn is perfect for you. I especially am loving the deep core and pelvic floor series which features very short workouts that you can stack.

Moon Nude Tote Bag with Love Shack Fancy x Stanley Cup

Style & Self Care: 

Moon Nude Tote Bag : I’m obsessed with this quilted peony print tote bag and use it when I need to bring a change of clothes after a fitness class or as a less fussy diaper bag

KIP Sleepwear Pajamas: The luxe stretch cotton pjs are some of the softest pajamas I own! I love the different colors they offer and the custom monogramming. They’d make a perfect gift.

Madewell wide leg jeans : Since I can’t fit into any of my pre-pregnancy jeans I decided to buy a few pairs at Madewell. I got a straight leg, dark wash pair a month ago and recently bought two of the wide leg jeans. They are so chic and comfy!

Patchology Eye Patches: These feel incredible in the morning, especially when you put them in the fridge! They’re honestly a life saver for looking a bit more refreshed when sleep deprived.

Skincare Fridge : I had one of these years ago when I was in NYC and it didn’t make the move with us. I finally decided to get another one and am not regretting it. It’s a great place to store your eye patches & creams, face masks, toners and hydrating mists.

Towel Warmer: You’ve probably seen these in my self care shower videos! It was a christmas gift and I absolutely love it. It does take a little while for the towel to heat up but there’s something very luxurious about coming out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a warm towel. Plus there are multiple timer settings which is a nice reminder to slow down and take your time.

Biossance Squalane Body Scrub : I still have a pretty prominent Linea Nigra line from pregnancy but noticed that exfoliation has helped to remove some of the top layers of skin that were ready to shed the color. I know the line is hormone driven but this scrub really has made a difference for mine!

Golden Glaze Body Oil : The sheen on this body oil is so lovely and adds a nice hydrating glow. I apply it directly after a shower before completely toweling off as I found it absorbs much better that way

TV Shows: 

Shrinking: This is such a heartwarming show about a grieving therapist and his relationships with coworkers, patients and his daughter. It’s a “dramady” with lots of quick humor and the 30 min episodes make it an easy watch when you have a newborn

From Scratch: We absolutely loved this show about an artist who meets the love of her life (a chef) in Florence and builds a life together back in LA. We also haven’t cried this much in a show in a long time so definitely prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions

White Lotus: Back for season 3 and even though it’s a slow burn, we’ve been enjoying it so far and are looking forward to seeing how the rest of the show unfolds

Survivor Season 48: Obviously. 😉

I hope you enjoyed this roundup and that it’s helpful for any new moms out there! Of course feel free to shoot me a message or leave a comment if you’d like me to share anything else.

Finishing up 12 wonderful days in Florida and our very first beach vacation with our 5 month old ☀️🌊🌴 

It was so incredibly special to show Lily the beach where I grew up and spend time with lots of family and friends 🥹

We were really nervous about traveling with such a young baby but honestly it was so much more seamless than expected and I think it helped that we were a bit over prepared 😅 (yes I did pack her @babybrezza in our luggage and the @doonausa travel stroller 100% lives up to the hype lol) 

Other things we brought for her that made things easier and I highly recommend: 

✨ @uppababy pack and play (just check this as another piece of luggage) 
✨ @hatchforbabysleep rest and go sound machines 
✨ mini fan for stroller 
✨ @babymoov_usa baby tent for beach 
✨ over the door shoe organizer to hold/organize all baby clothes 
✨ a couple baby carriers (we love @mabecarriers @babytula and @wildbird) 
✨ @magicsleepsuit of course 
✨ @get_nanit baby monitor (packed in travel case) 

Of course you don’t need all/any of the above!! I’m just sharing what worked for us ☺️

Our mornings looked like some variation of what you see here with a few sunrise walks and coffee runs mixed in. And now it’s time to head back home with a luggage full of dirty laundry and a camera full of 10,000 pictures & videos 💕

I’m back with another way to #romanticizeroutines and this time I invited my mom over for a wholesome #crafternoon just in time for Mother’s Day! 

I made the most scrumptious snack plate using my favorite cookies and crackers by @snackbacktonature! They’re basically better-for-you versions of your childhood classic snacks and I love that they don’t have any artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. (Look for their new packaging at a retailer near you!) 

My mom is now officially hooked on the PB Creme cookies and I know you will be too

My baby girl joined us to create handprints so that we could add them to our painted wooden frames and they turned out sooo cute!!

My mom and I haven’t crafted together since I was a little girl so this was such a wholesome moment and the perfect way to celebrate our first Mother’s Day as a mom and grandma.

#TidePartner With my first Mother’s Day around the corner as a new mom, I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the key home care tips my own Korean mother passed down to me. 🧹

She taught me the value of bringing nature indoors, reusing and recycling as much as possible, removing your shoes when you walk inside, and always wearing gloves when doing dishes. ✨🫧

Most of all, she taught me not to fear life’s little messes, because there’s always a way to tackle them. That’s why I love using Tide evo—especially for food stains! These innovative laundry tiles from @TideLaundry dissolve fast and leave our clothes super clean and fresh. 🫧

Looking for the perfect way to prepare for the week ahead? I swear by this 3 step #SundayReset because it always makes me feel so much more refreshed, productive and recharged before kicking off a new week ~ and it’s been especially helpful as a new mom 💕

1️⃣ Freshen up your space: this is the time to give your home a fresh start by doing a load of laundry, decluttering and/or buying yourself flowers to display 💐 

2️⃣ Prep for the week: you all know I’m a planner so I love taking a few moments to map out the week ahead, plan workouts (and pencil them in or book them) and go grocery shopping 

3️⃣ Rest & recharge: Sundays should also be a time of relaxation so check in with your body and mind to see what you’re craving! Maybe it’s a walk in a park, cozying up with a good book, taking a nap or meeting up with a friend for coffee.

#FordAmbassador You all know how much I love catching the sunrise and this morning’s solo date was just what I needed. ​🌅

I drove my 2025 @ford Explorer® SUV to one of my favorite local parks and got there just in time to watch the sun come up over the reservoir. It was so quiet and peaceful – definitely worth the drive and the perfect way to start the day. ​

Now that the weather is warming up I’m excited to do this more often and bring my family with me for the next one! ​☀️✨

Since it’s been SO long since I’ve shared some fun facts about myself, here are 🔟 things you may not know about me: 

✨ I moved to Denver from NYC but before that I’ve lived in Florida, Germany, Korea, Oklahoma and Utah! (airforce brat over here 🙋🏻‍♀️) 

✨ I’m half Korean, a quarter Ecuadorian and Swedish ~ but sadly I only speak English 

✨ I started practicing yoga over a decade ago after a really traumatic breakup. It was the catalyst to adopting a healthy lifestyle and the reason I started my blog 

✨ I’m obsessed with houseplants and currently have 30 different plants in my home 🌿

✨ I’ve always had way too many hobbies and love to try new things! But it also means I’m not particularly amazing at one thing 😅  Jill of all trades kinda vibes 

✨ I rescued my pup Nina 12 years ago in Florida and my pup Chip in NYC 6 years ago! Advocating for pet adoption is super important to me and I follow/support a lot of rescue groups 🐶 

✨ I’m a big dessert gal and baked goods (especially chocolate chip cookies) are my weakness

✨ June is my fav month, Fall is my fav season and Christmas is my fav holiday! 

✨ I am a new mama to a beautiful baby girl after experiencing pregnancy loss a little over a year ago. She has brought so much joy into my life and I’ve never known a love quite like this ❤️

✨ I’m an ENFJ to a tee: energized by social interactions, an empath who makes decisions based on my values and emotions, organized and value structure/routines, and am always drawn to the “big picture”. Life is full of endless possibilities in my eyes 

Let me know if we have anything in common!

Part 8 of Romanticizing Routines ~ a mini series where I’m sharing simple ways to make everyday moments just a little more intentional and special 💕

Now that Spring is in full bloom, one of the easiest ways to #romanticizeyourlife is to take pieces of your normal routine outdoors ~ because literally nothing feels more beautiful than brushing your teeth in the morning sunlight or drinking a matcha while surrounded by blooms 🌷🦋☀️ 

It’s not all about aesthetics either because getting outside for some fresh air and morning sunlight have been proven to do wonders for your mental wellbeing! 

So even if all you do is step out for a few minutes of peace while you sip your morning beverage of choice, I highly encourage you to try this for yourself 🌼 

{ps thank you for those who voted on my poll yesterday! I saw that this series is def a fan fav so I’ll be continuing it for awhile}

So even if all you do is step out for a few minutes of peace while you sip your morning beverage of choice, I highly encourage you to try this for yourself 🌼 

{ps thank you for those who voted on my poll yesterday! I saw that this series is def a fan fav so I’ll be continuing it for awhile}
