Amazon Lately

It’s been a while since I’ve shared my favorite Amazon purchases lately, so here we go! I’ve found so many random fun things lately!

Kids Sketch Book

I picked up two of these after getting soooo tired of stray artwork papers all over our house. And I immediately ordered one more for Belle, who threw a mini fit over not having one too (oops!). My kids love to draw and color…and these sketch books are perfect to contain all their work.

Silicone Dish Sponges

I keep hearing that dish sponges are super gross and knew it was time to find a different solution. I’m pretty happy with this three pack of silicone dish sponges. I’m still keeping a fresh regular sponge around for really hard to scrub pans, but these do great for normal dish washing.

A Thought A Day Journal

This is my second copy of this journal because I LOVE it! it’s a five year journal where you write just a few sentences or a quick thought to sum up your day, or something special/cute that happened that day. As each year passes, you’ll be able to see what you were thinking or doing on the same day in previous years. It’s so fun to look back and see what was happening that day 3 or 4 years ago.

Super-Brella

I scored this giant umbrella on major sale and can’t wait to use it for soccer games. It’s huge so we all can fit under it and keep the sun away!

Bike Parking

Finally, a solution to our bike storage problem! I’m keeping this in our basement in our “parking area” where we keep the kid’s bikes and stuff during the winter.

Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Spray

I just picked up my second bottle of this miracle spray. It cuts my blow drying time in half and smells good!

Baby Shark

I picked this up for Belle for Valentine’s Day. It plays the baby shark song, which is her absolute favorite! She’s going to flip out.

Shrinky Dinks

I LOVED these when I was little, so on a whim I picked these up for Hudson and Sadie and they quickly became obsessed. Such a fun rainy day activity.

 

Charging Station

I was getting sick of charging cords all over the place so I picked up this charging station and some 7 inch usb cables. It saves soooo much space and seeing all our devices lined up makes me secretly happy inside.

Boys Socks

Not super exciting, but Hudson needed some new socks and I grabbed these….and they turned out to be awesome! They are thick and comfortable…and the only socks he wants to wear now.

Collagen Peptides Powder

I’ve been using this collagen powder for about a year now and love it! My nails and hair were a mess after having Belle and I really think this has helped me get back to normal!

    Those silicone sponges are also great for tactile play. We had bought some and discovered everyone likes to play with them. We even gave one to my son’s therapist. She uses them as busy hand items for kids.

It’s her comfort position. And I’ve found myself documenting it with a picture or a note on my phone every chance I get, just in case it’s the last time. Babies don’t keep. But I will keep this memory forever.
