Hi!
During this week’s episode of WITH WHIT, my younger sister and guest, Paige, shared all of the details of being a new mom during Covid-19. We are back with some of her must-have product recommendations: things to have in the house and nursery, diaper bag and other mom essentials!
If some of you new moms or soon-to-be moms are experiencing new anxiety during quarantine, I suggest you listen to Paige’s full episode! You definitely are not alone in the emotions you are feeling. Below are links to Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
