Briana's Baby Registry

After 15 years, a high school romance, and a lifelong habit of just winging it, we're finally taking on our biggest project yet: becoming parents! We're definitely a bit goofy and can be pretty gullible, but we've actually been surprised at how smoothly everything is coming together. We're feeling pretty relaxed about the whole thing which, considering how much we usually overthink life, is a bit of a miracle for both of us!

When it came time to get ready, our shopping styles clashed in the best way. I've been on the hunt for the absolute best, most high-utility gear, while Chris-who looks at a diaper pail with the same fiscal intensity he uses for our long-term retirement planning-has been obsessively vetting everything to make sure it's a "smart investment"...

Turns out that high quality and frugality actually overlap more than we thought! We managed to reach a consensus, and this registry is a result. It's a list that satisfies my need for the 'good stuff' and his non negotiable rule that we aren't being totally reckless with our money.

We're just so lucky to have you guys in our lives. Your love is really the only thing that matters, but if you're looking to help us get a head start, these are the few items that survived our very rigorous (and sometimes ridiculous) process. Thank you for being such an important part of our story.

Love,
