Let’s Look…At Our Best Amazon Purchases

Hey! It’s “Let’s Look” day! If you’re new here, once a month, two of my favorite blogs host a link-up to share about some small routine aspect of our lives. I always love a good look into someone else’s life, don’t you? Even the mundane, I find fascinating how other people live.

So far this year, I’ve shared:

And today, we’re sharing our best, most favorite Amazon purchases of all time. With such a looooong and robust relationship with Amazon Prime, the task of finding the BEST purchases of all time is BIG.

Ask a former auditor to rank things based on ALL TIME greatness, and you’ll find yourself a very overwhelmed former auditor who will likely make a spreadsheet with tabs by category to evaluate said items. It’s who I am. If anyone needs to check my paper trail behind this list, you can be assured that I will have it.

Favorites for the Kids:

The Hatch alarm clock has been a game changer for both of my kids. I have one child that I used to dread waking up because it was like waking a troll that had been hibernating for the last 50 years and was not ready to get up yet. And one child who thinks that 5:30-6:00 am is the time the day starts. The Hatch now wakes my troll child every morning, and informs my early riser that ‘it ain’t time to start the day’ yet until the light goes off. I love that I can control the Hatch through my phone, and it wakes them with a beautiful simulated sunrise and flute or chimes. You know, whichever you prefer. It also replaced their white noise machines, so pulling double duty!

These cute little boy dress shoes made for a wide foot were perfect for our littlest this winter.

For the Home:

This pillow is worth every last penny. I can’t believe I spent 35 years of my life sleeping on the cheapest Target pillow I could find. That is all.

This cookbook is maybe my most favorite cookbook ever. SO many good recipes! I loved it so much, I gifted a copy of it as my “favorite thing” of the year at our Christmas book club!

For You:

Upgrading my hair dryer was a big moment. Love this new one. Love how quickly it dries my hair, and all of the attachments that it comes with. And it was a fraction of the price of a Dyson hair dryer.

It’s not often that I sing the praises of Amazon fashion. I feel like more often than not, the clothes can feel cheap and poorly made. But I wore this dress on repeat all of last summer. It was super good, durable quality, AND it was so comfortable and cute. Looked put together while being soooo simple. It comes in like….50 different colors too.

This travel toiletry bag is the best one I’ve ever purchased. The quality is so good. That is, the zippers aren’t jankity and hard to close. The space is just the right amount for me, and I love that it hangs up on the back of a hotel bathroom door. I’ve had it three years now, and it’s still very much a favorite.

Those are, I think, my all time favorite Amazon purchases. It was a tough list to come up with, but it seems like a good round-up to me. 🙂

Friday Favorites {01.06.23}

The first Friday of the new year! I hope everyone survived back to work/back to school/back to reality this week. We muddled our way through it. Mostly my 5:00 am alarm was the most shocking after giving myself two weeks to sleep in and lounge around. :). I have a few favorites from the past couple of weeks to share with you!

A few weeks ago I hosted my annual Christmas book club. We had so much fun doing a white elephant gift exchange of our favorite thing from 2022.

I gifted Half Baked Harvest’s latest cookbook “Everyday.”

Amazon & Target Lately

I’m sharing some of the fun things I’ve ordered from Amazon and Target lately!

Magnetic letters || Waffleknit Shorts Jammies || Stroller fan || Portable high chair || Pouch lids || Waffleknit Long Jammies

Harrison’s been working on his letters at school, and we bought magnetic letters to work on them at home! Loved this option because they don’t have that choking hazard small loose magnets on the back like the ones we used to have when we were kids.

Amazon & Target Lately v. II

Before we get to today’s post, I wanted to share a family that I’ve been praying for lately, and want to ask that you pray for them as well. I don’t know this family personally, but for some reason was drawn to them. First, her beautiful pictures and writing, and then eventually, I followed along long enough to know a small bit of their story. Little Luna, Lindsay’s daughter, has undergone a bone marrow transfusion from her sister in hopes of her body reprogramming itself from slipping into leukemia. Lindsay, her mama, explains Luna’s health situation much more eloquently and completely on her Instagram page, but while things were looking good and her numbers were increasing as expected for a long while, about a week ago, her numbers started slipping. The doctors didn’t know why, and while they were talking not that long ago about discharge from the hospital to go home, they slipped so far that she had to be moved to the ICU and intubated. I don’t know why but I feel so connected to this family and little Luna. I feel like this is not the end the story even though they are at such a low point right now. And I’d just ask you to send some prayers for little Luna. And her mama. And daddy + sister. Here’s her Instagram:

In lighter topics, I thought I’d share some of my Amazon and Target purchases lately! You know, just after Prime Day, so perfect timing. 😆. Oh well. Prime Day overwhelms me, quite frankly. Anyone else? I bought nothing on Prime Day, and I feel totally ok about it.

Friday Favorites: Amazon & Target Lately {03.27.20}

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a post about what I’ve been Priming from Amazon lately, and picking up from Target. With quarantine, though, I feel like the Amazon delivery truck has been making a stop at our house almost daily. While most of it is just normal household goods, there’s been a few fun purchases thrown in lately!

Friday Favorites: Best Amazon Buys Lately

The number of Amazon boxes that show up at this house could be considered embarrassing. The ease of two day shipping and literally what seems like anything available, makes it a no-brainer for a working mama. This…

This is me. I am a Prime addict. And Nathan makes fun of me for it – but as long as they keep making my life easier, you bet we are here for it. I Prime what seems like everything these days. Wipes? Two days. Cool toy I see another mama has at the pool? Two days. Granola bars? Two days. Amazon has made so many things in life just so easy. Here’s a few of the things that have been making life better around here lately.

Amazon Echo Show Review

I was in the middle of writing an Amazon product review about the Amazon Echo Show and after writing practically a novel, decided that this was best suited for its own post.

We’ve had this guy for since Mother’s Day. It sits in our kitchen, and Nathan got it for me as a gift. When it showed up, I committed to learn more about what it could do for me. We had the normal Amazon Echo previously, and I honestly primarily used it to play The Greatest Showman soundtrack for Harrison. The Amazon Echo has since been moved to the playroom, but here’s the thing…
