Here’s the link for…
This peel-and-stick wallpaper made my daughter’s room look like a dreamy scene from a Renaissance painting. (Here’s a similar unpasted version, too.) —Kelsey
This label maker (paired with a bunch of these $5 clear storage bins) gave me a much-needed boost to get my playroom organized. (And yes, I’m sorry to report that the rumors are true: I’ve found that my kids play longer and more happily when they have a clutter-free playspace.) —K
This soft, travel-friendly busy board (featuring zips, buckles, buttons, and puzzles) keeps small toddlers occupied on the go.
This postpartum course — co-led by leading experts like Emily Oster, @psychedmommy, and @thevaginawhisperer — is everything we wish existed when we were first pregnant. #partner
This “take off your shoes” sign perfectly conveys how I feel when people try to wear shoes in my home (a home where small children regularly eat off the floor!). —K
This sparkly “unicorn” toothpaste will make preschoolers genuinely excited to brush their teeth twice a day. Pair it with this rainbow-bristled bamboo toothbrush.
This brand new book about the human body intended for kids 1 to 3 from pediatrician and friend of this newsletter, Krupa Playforth, M.D. (a.k.a. @thepediatricianmom).
These $8 sticks for chapped lips or skin with vitamin E; we use them for kids and grow-ups. —Cassie
This travel diaper bag from a parent-founded travel bag company with a cult-like following. (I recently included it as the top pick in a piece I penned for Condé Nast Traveler). The code twotruths gets you $20 off an order of $200+. —C
These $19 kids Easter cardigans that I had to order three of. —C

The Stuff You Loved Most
A look back at the top three links from the last issue…
These $8 tank tops are the best I’ve ever owned. Hally Seminara and Lauren Vreeland, the duo behind fashion account @omgyouneedthat (Lauren was a former boss at Glamour), turned me onto them. —C
This quilted, floral jacket gets me stopped and interrogated for where-to-buy details by approximately 60% of the women I encounter while wearing it. Good news: It’s currently on sale and under $200. —K
These glass baby bottles make me wonder why it took me three babies to switch from plastic to glass. —C
