Easing the mental load of caregivers (especially moms) is one of the chief goals of the founders of Hearth Display—a centralized touchscreen device that helps organize family life. In addition to shared calendars across all members of your crew, Hearth Display also includes routines and to-do’s that children—and partners—can easily follow on their own. Who are the three women—and busy baby moms—behind this tech-savvy, feminist-leaning solution? Below, meet co-founders Susie Harrison, Mei Lin Ng, and Nathalie Stratton, as they spill their Mother Essentials.

Susie Harrison, CGO of Hearth, & Mother to Leo, 10 months

Nanit Baby Monitor. “This gives me total peace of mind. I can peek in on Leo without hovering, and I love seeing his sleep patterns (even if I don’t always do anything with the info).” Nanit Pro Baby Monitor, $299, Nanit.

Solid Starts App. “A total game-changer for introducing new foods. It’s boosted my confidence as we’ve navigated meals and allergens.” Solidstarts.com/app

Shared Calendar on Hearth Display. “It might not sound exciting, but syncing schedules with my partner is everything. It keeps us on the same page and helps avoid the classic ‘wait, you didn’t know about that?’ spiral.” Hearth Display, $599, Hearth.

Group Chats With My Best Friends. “Voice notes, random updates, hearing other life moments from moms in the trenches—it’s like a mix of therapy and comedy hour. It keeps me grounded and laughing.”

Picking Up Leo. “Someone recently told me Leo is the happiest baby they’ve ever seen, and I might be biased, but I agree. 🙂 His smile when I walk in the room is the best part of my day.”

Mei Lin Ng, CEO of Hearth, & Mother to Zaire, 16 months

Doona Liki Trike. “Perfect for our urban adventures, it folds up small and transitions from stroller to trike as my son becomes more independent.” Doona Liki Trike S3, $250, Pottery Barn Kids.

Yoto Player. “This little speaker has been such a win for winding down. Zaire loves the music and story cards.” Yoto Player, $99.99, Amazon.

Montessori-Style Shelf Rotation. “We keep just a few open-ended toys on low shelves and rotate them weekly. It helps Zaire focus and keeps playtime feeling fresh without constantly buying new things.” The Montessori Play Shelf, $400, Lovevery.

Consistent Routines. “We use our Hearth Display to keep Zaire’s daily rhythm visible and predictable. It’s made transitions smoother—especially when multiple caregivers are involved.” Hearth Display, $599, Hearth.

Slow Mornings With No Agenda. “On days without early meetings, I try to let the morning unfold slowly. Those quiet hours are pure magic.”

Nathalie Stratton, CPO of Hearth, & Mother to Blanche, 1 month

Uppababy Vista. “We love our stroller! Now that the weather’s lovely, it gives us the freedom to haul groceries, sit outside with friends, picnic in the park, or go for long nap-time walks to stay connected.” Uppababy Vista V3, $899.99, Bloomingdale’s. 

Owala Water Bottle. “This thing is a lifesaver for staying hydrated. Whether it’s filled with coconut water or a hydration packet, it’s always nearby—usually with a snack or two.” Owala FreeSip Water Bottle, $30, Urban Outfitters.

Bilingual Board Books. “As a multilingual family, I’ve made it a priority to read to Blanche in different languages from day one. My mom has always done this beautifully, and it’s a way to remind my daughter where she comes from. Our current faves: Vámonos a Bogotá and Madeleine.” Vámonos a Bogotá, $9.99, Bookshop. Madeline, $9.29, Bookshop.

A Clean Home. “There’s nothing like the feeling of a tidy space in the early newborn weeks. Our Hearth Display helps my husband and I stay on top of the little things that keep our home feeling calm and cozy—and it’s the perfect way to include family when they ask, ‘What can we do?'” Hearth Display, $599, Hearth.
