The way she says "pasketti" deserves a book of its own, in your own voice.

Grab a divided reusable wine bag from the grocery store and clip it to your stroller with stroller hooks.
The dividers keep every kid's cup upright and separated, so no more sippy cups tipping over in the basket or "that's MY water" meltdowns.
Great for soccer games, farmer's market trips, or just outings at the park.

The Little Stuff You'll Forget
The way she says "pasketti." The dance he does when he eats blueberries. The made-up words. The bedtime stories they make up as they go.
You hope you'll remember all of it.
But the little stuff has a way of fading.
Remento was built for exactly this. A keepsake book of your baby's early years, made from your own voice.
Once a week, you get a simple prompt. Something like "what did he do this week that made you laugh?" You record a quick answer from your phone. No writing. No app.
A year later, a hardcover book shows up at your door. Every page has a QR code. Scan it and hear the story in your own voice.
The kind of thing you'll open together when they're twenty. 🤍

“Dinner is so hard, with extra curricular activities, picky eaters and not feeling up to cooking something new (even old recipes on repeat) each night 😫. If i dont plan on a specific dish I'm lost on what to make”
I hear you, keeping a short list of easy, healthy go-to meals saves me way more than trying to reinvent the wheel every night. But when all else fails, chicken nuggets. -Danielle 😊
