Life unfolds for me in the enchanting world of spreadsheets - be it for Christmas, spending, vacation plans, or the intricacies of gardening. The endless lists find their sanctuary in the well-orchestrated symphony of Excel and Google Sheets, providing the structure I crave for a peaceful existence. Surprisingly, I can be nimble and easygoing if a solid foundation is laid by these, my trusty digital companions.

Today's love letter is written in the language of a spreadsheet dedicated to all working parents and moms out there. Cast back to the tumultuous year of 2020, as the world faced unprecedented changes due to COVID-19, I found myself navigating the unknown territory of pregnancy. Privilege allowed me to transition to remote work and social distancing to safeguard my unborn baby. Even when chosen, parenthood remains overwhelming, catching you off guard. While my appointments were being canceled amid the chaos, contemplating strollers and car seat systems was the last thing I wanted to do.

Enter my savior, Emily Lalone Ianuario, fellow mom-entrepreneur of Lalone Marketing and Events, a force of rainbow energy 🌈 and determination. Wife and partner to my college bestie (hi Douglass!) and fellow boy mom, Emily's meticulous research during her firstborn's arrival, right amidst the world's chaos, became my salvation. A mastermind spreadsheet was born, a collaborative effort with input from her various mom friends, myself included. You will see my very specific must-haves in the tab labeled, “Sport Mode." And voila! There you have it. Your Google Sheet of parenting essentials has emerged. Keep in mind that we link to products or services we love using affiliate links. This means that we may receive a small percentage or fee for referring you to any product you may purchase from one of those sites. These small fees help sustain our small business. We genuinely appreciate your support.

Ready to start your registry? We strongly recommend Amazon. While the others were pretty, I had to do a lot of returns, and products were delivered extremely slowly. The process is seamless with Amazon, including sending your thank you notes. Score!

Emily and I present to you a curated selection of products that empower us to navigate the beautiful chaos of parenthood. Now, with two kids, under two information! Enjoy the journey, for parenting is undoubtedly challenging. As I shared yesterday, your community is your vitality, and let this spreadsheet be the beginning of crafting the perfect life for your little ones on the way. 🌟
