The Starter Essentials You Need To Create A Conscious Nursery

I’m still taken aback every morning that I wake up to our three-month-old daughter. I’ve dreamed of baby Noa for so long and now that she’s here, I want to show her all the beauty this Earth has to offer and give her the best for her growing body, soul, and mind. 

This means filling her home environment with furniture, toys, clothing, and baby care products that I support 100 percent and fully believe in: safe and sustainable pieces that help her grow up healthy, balanced, and well-nurtured.

My entire aesthetic is a clean, minimal look. It encourages creativity and positive energy. I applied the same sense of decor and belonging to Noa’s nursery with pieces like the Micuna Harmony Crib, which is made with solid beechwood from sustainable forests. I’m a big supporter of companies that are committed to using fully-recycled and eco-friendly materials for changing tables and rocking chairs; for crib mattresses and blankets, non-toxic materials are key.

Your baby’s skin is delicate, so I look for products that are certified natural. The Weleda skincare line for babies—formulated from the brand’s extensive plant knowledge—is an absolute dream. They use only the purest ingredients for a baby’s sensitive skin.

As a mom, I try my best to fuel my little babes with creative energy and challenge their thinking constantly. Food-wise, we’re constantly paying attention to what we’re feeding our kids to give them the nutrients their bodies need, so to me it makes sense to also give them toys that will fuel them intelligently.

Right now, I’m currently obsessed with Lovevery’s play kits. The brand makes it their mission to help moms bring an end to “empty calorie” choices when it comes to toys for your kid. Currently Noa is obsessed with the play gym: She’ll stay under it entranced for hours.

The easiest thing we can do as moms with a newborn is to go sustainable with our diaper choices. There are a ton of options for reusable cloth diapers and reusable wipes. Yes, it can be tough at first, but it feels so good to do our part to help Mother Earth. Luludew makes the process super simple, and their diapers are freaking adorable. I get so many compliments!
