Hi friends! We are back sharing some of our FAVORITE Amazon purchases of the year so far. I have a lot on here, and most of it I have shared before, but we just love everything so much.
These are affiliate links! :)
Storage containers- We ordered these to help organize Ella's toys and we are just loving our new system. I break our new system down on my Instagram stories and plan to do a whole post about it too.
Oven Mitts- Our old oven mitts were not super heat resistant (bizarre) and eventually got holes and fell apart. We got these and are loving them so far- very high quality and very resistant to heat. As they should be, right?
Apron- I got this apron because I really wanted to prevent stains from cooking ending up on my clothes. I have never worn one while cooking before, but it just makes sense? This one is on sale right now for less than $10.
White Noise Machine- We got the Hatch white noise machine to help encourage Ella to sleep in later than 5 am. It has worked wonders for us. We now have her sleeping in until 6:30-7 everyday and it is such a game changer for us. The morning is when I do my blogging and have my 'me time' so having her up at 5 am is not an option. I highly recommend this for mothers of early risers.
Blue light glasses- I love my blue light glasses. Honestly not sure how well they work but they're super cute and I love wearing them!
Marble phone case- Super cute and cheap iphone case that protects your phone! I have dropped mine several times since getting this case and we've had no issues.
Cheetah shirt- I am still loving this shirt, although I find it is unflattering if you don't tuck in the front like the model has here. True to size!
Color block shirt- Still loving this one too! Comfortable and casual- perfect for a relaxing summer day.
Knock-off birkenstocks- I am obsessed with these. Ever since I got them, I have worn them almost every single day. They are so comfortable and just easy! They go with almost everything. They were only $25 too, which was a huge plus.
Steam mop- I bought this to steam clean our carpets and our sofa. Little did I know I could use it to steam clean our kitchen and bathroom too. There's a bunch of attachments and it's the easiest machine in the world to use. It heats up in 12 seconds, literally and has just been a great machine to have for our apartment, especially right now with all the virus stuff! The steam helps kill germs without chemicals.
Floor cleaner- I also purchased this great all natural, made in the USA cleaner for our kitchen and bathroom floors. I finally finished up a lot of our stronger chemical cleaners and wanted something that was less chemically with a lighter scent. This one is so great and your home with smell wonderfully clean when you're all done using it.
Herb Garden- I ordered this herb garden starter kit a while back and I am just so happy with it. I have never been able to grow anything that can actually be consumed by human beings, so I am giving all my praise to this herb kit here! We've been enjoying fresh cilantro and basil for the last week or so, and it's so good. We actually have too much cilantro which is amazing. We always would buy it from the grocery store and end up using half a bunch and tossing the rest... heart breaking! We HATE wasting food. This herb garden has been great for us and even Ella likes helping us with it.
We have since transplanted the herbs into larger homes.
Callus Remover- I have never been one to go out and get pedicures. In fact, I have only had one in my entire life. I have a weird thing about people touching my feet and the idea of them possibly re-using tools without sanitizing them properly totally grosses me out. Working in healthcare has made me increasingly more cautious about things like that. While I don't like getting pedicures out, I do like taking care of my feet at home. I love this callus remover as I tend to build them quickly on the sides of my big toe and my heels.
Food storage containers- I shared these before, but I love them so much I had to share them again. We reorganized our food cupboards with these so it feels more 'pantry style' and are just loving them so much. Here's a link to my post about my cupboards if you're curious how we organized them. They are pricier but a great investment for long term organization. They are on sale now!
This is how I organized them in our food cupboard. We are loving them so much. Our food is staying fresh for much longer and we are actually eating everything. It's amazing how much more tempting that granola is when I can see it vs when it's sitting in a cardboard box in the cupboard. I highly recommend these.
Thanks Tanya for hosting today's link up! :)
I would love to have a pantry system like yours. I didn't used to like getting pedicures but now I do! Haven't since December though!
ReplyDeleteOur little pantry system is just our kitchen cupboard. We don't have a separate space for food so we tried to make our cupboard as organized as possible.
DeleteI love your organizing of Ella's toys and the pantry.
ReplyDeleteI love organization so much!
DeleteI have that callous tool and just love it! I wish I had known about white noise when my son was a toddler/preschooler. He often got up at 5am and sometimes even 4am!! Luckily he outgrew that phase and now loves to sleep in as a teen...ha, ha. Thanks for linking up with Prime Purchases! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
ReplyDeleteI feel so fortunate to be raising a baby now, with all the technology we have. I have no clue how my parents did it with 3 and not much 'stuff' to help!
DeleteThe callous tool is great. It totally grosses my fiance out and he wont let me use it on him haha.
I have those storage containers, and I love how the sides lock! I also recently purchased a smaller version of that herb garden for a friend's birthday- glad to hear it's so great! I love that color block shirt- may need to add that one!
ReplyDeleteThe storage containers are great!!! We just love them and Ella actually likes playing with the little handles. The color block shirt is really soft and comfortable too! :)
DeleteThat apron is so cute! Sometimes I wear one if I'm super particular about the clothes I have on.
ReplyDeleteI love my apron! It really makes me feel the part hahaha.
DeleteIt's so hard to keep all the toys corralled isn't it? Glad you found a system that works for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult! I dream of a house with a family room/play room but that's a stretch here given the housing prices. We will have to take our system with us wherever we go haha!
DeleteI need that color block shirt in my life!!! It's so cute
