Momma Must Haves

My Favourite Things For Raising My Wild Ones

I often get asked about what I recommend for clothing, toys, health, and fun for my kids. Scroll down to see my top "must haves".

OUTDOOR GEAR & CLOTHING

We are a family that prioritizing A LOT of outdoor time. I'm a big believer in the saying "Children cannot bounce off of the walls if you take away the walls." I have noticed that my boys and I are much happier if we spend time in nature each day. But in order to enjoy our time outside we need to be dressed accordingly, after all "there is no such thing as bad weather, just poor clothing". Below you will find my favourite clothing, and gear for making outside time fun and fulfilling.

MEC

A one stop shop for great quality outdoor gear. We love their bibbed rain pants, and their rain jackets, especially! Plus if you have toddlers, their Toaster Booties are a MUST for warm and flexible feet in the winter's cold.

Helly Hansen

By far, the warmest and most rugged outdoor gear. They have stood up to hours of abuse by my wild guys and after they outgrew their HH gear we've put it away to save for grandkids someday.

Give'r

The best mittens we've ever used. They are waterproof, warm, and most importantly they aren't flammable -- we have lost MANY pairs of other brand waterproof mittens due to working around the campfire, but Give'R mittens have lasted!

Splay Shoes

Our favourite, affordable, summertime barefoot shoes. Like keds but with room for toes to grow and spread, and with flexible, zero-drop soles.

Ice Breaker

The best pure wool clothing for layering under outdoor gear. So warm, so cosy, and so good for you and the environment.

Mountain Warehouse

Their 2-in-1 Jackets have been a staple in our home for years! Perfect for those cold November/April rainy days. Waterproof, warm, and rugged.

Health & Wellness for Kids

I have been blessed to use natural health & wellness products with my boys since they were born. We choose to take a preventative-measures approach, and here are some of my top picks for keeping kids healthy, naturally.

doTERRA's kids roller collection

The perfect, all-in-one, pack for kids to be empowered with their own wellness. With 7 different blends, specifically formulated for kids emotional and physical needs this collection is a great one to have on hand throughout childhood (and honestly I use them too!)

Kids Pack - Amare

Three incredible, all natural, products that are designed to support kids' gut-brain axis, mood, stress resilience, cognitive performance, feelings of calm, focus & positivity. It also combines over 50 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phytonutrients to give their growing bodies what they need despite pick eaters' diets.

Earthley's Goodnight Lotion

Did you know that magnesium performs over 300 essential functions in your body – including promoting healthy sleep, natural detox, healthy blood sugar levels, and gut health?

Good Night Lotion is safe for the whole family. Made with the cleanest, most recognizable ingredients, like apricot oil, mango butter, and plant-based candelilla wax, with absolutely no compromises, and contains 100 mg magnesium per teaspoon!
