Happy Monday, friends. We are starting week 7 of quarantine with no real end date in sight. Our daycares will be closed until at least June 29th, so I don’t foresee going back to work before that’s a viable option for parents here. What I have been doing to take my mind of things?! Busy buying all the things on Amazon. Spending so much time at home, you start to go on a little purging craze and then once you’ve thrown things away, you realize, probably needed that and now here we are reordering it! Here’s a look at my Amazon purchases in April!
- Melissa & Doug – Dust, Sweep, Mop || Actually a purchase from my mom for Sophia and it could not be more of a hit. Sophia started wanting to help us clean up at night and I saw this and thought it was perfect. It has all the “attachments” we adults need, so she thinks she’s getting the real deal!
- OGX Renewing + Argan Oil of Morocco Conditioner || I fly through shampoo, but of course conditioner takes forever. Needed a new one and went to an old favorite of mine.
- Sharpie Gel Pens || I already talked about these in a previous post, but I’m still loving how they write and they really are great for lots of note taking and don’t bleed through paper.
- Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent || This is where I should have read the fine print or looked at the price! I thought I was getting two full size detergent’s but it turns out they are much smaller, but I’ll still get a little over 100 loads from both of them, so not too bad.
- Mrs. Meyers Dish Soap || This is the first time I’ve ever used any Mrs. Meyers cleaning product and I don’t think I’ll go back to anything else. This particular one smells so fresh and came with a pack of 6 – hopefully enough to get us through the quarantine period.
- Blue light blocking glasses || I mentioned these in a previous post and am still loving them. I have found that they have really helped curb how tired my eyes feel after a full day of working on my laptop. Two for the price of one with these!
- Elements of Family Style || It had been a while since my last coffee table book and I was looking for a little home style inspiration. This does such a great job of illustrating the best functionality for different homes and infusing the right thing to keep your place looking stylish even with kids!
- Toddler rain boots || What kid doesn’t love jumping in puddles?! I didn’t have any rain boots for Sophia so when I saw a lot of rain in the forecast, I ordered these right away. They come in a ton of colors and easy to get on and off their feet.
- Spice organizers || I am honestly so in love with our spice cabinet after changing out to these glass jars. I did need to order another set because 12 wasn’t nearly enough, so when the next set comes in I’ll be able to finish this little project.
- Toddler pouches || Rather than putting Sophia’s pouches into our grocery delivery, I realized that I could order these direct from Amazon. There’s a great variety in them and it’s the easiest thing to fill her up with veggies when she’s not into the real thing.
- Push around buggy || This was my personal favorite purchase of April! Sophia is so independent and doesn’t go into her stroller for anything, this was the next best thing, although she’s more interested in pushing her babies around it instead of begin in it on her own! One of those things she’s interested in one day and then not the next, but it does keep her occupied which is nice!
We just started using a Mrs. Myers dish soap too (it was the only thing left at the store, lol), but it smells so so good! Sophia always looks like she's having so much fun in her little buggy and the cleaning kit is such a good idea!
How does your conditioner last forever?! I use mine twice as fast as shampoo!!! I love that little cleaning set. Jacob is OBSESSED with the swiffer wet jet (i.e., he presses the dang button 10000 times!). Hope your Monday is not so "Monday"! XOXO, R
Looks like I will be making another Amazon order off your recommendations. Thank you. Happy Monday.

Isn't it so crazy when you think about how long we've all been home? It all feels like a blur. I have used the coconut oil conditioner by that same brand for years–so so good and hydrating!!

Olivia loves the melissa and doug cleaning set too! It's the cutest set!
Awww some good stuff. That buggy is genius. I have been on an organising spree also.
Great coffee table book. Love that conditioner too. The pink car…..sooo cute! Have a sweet Monday babe!
Hard to believe this is week SEVEN! I have that conditioner in my shower and those blue light glasses sitting next to me 🙂 I can vouch that both are winners!
My planner friend sent me the link to those sharpie pens just the other day! What size are you using? She said the 1.0 is great – I didnt know if it was too thick
Love me some Mrs. Meyers! I love the cleaning set, my niece has the same one and it is so cute to see her help clean! I ordered an office chair and it is life changing!
Love that our girls are twinning with the cutest rain boots! I need to check out that dish soap too <3

Mrs Meyers is my favorite and the only dish soap I will buy. It doesn't dry out my hands like most others. I love love love their Mint scent they have out for spring right now. So good! I use their spray on our counters every day too. Anything that can keep the kiddos entertained for even a few minutes is a win in my book, even if it isn't in the way I intended to use it haha.
Love those rain boots. Visiting from the hello monday link up. laurensparks.net
A .. love that cleaning set for Sophia. How cute!
I need that exact laundry detergent. Maybe I should just buy it from amazon!
A lot of your purchases remind me of mine this month; we bought that same laundry detergent (in pod form).
LOVE seeing what others buy from Amazon! I didn't realize Seventh Generation had a laundry detergent! I use their hand soap and dish soap.
I'm a big fan of Mrs. Meyers hand soap – I just stocked up on some of that! And that coffee table book is going on my wishlist.
We love Mrs. Meyers soap, too! I always get mine from Target! That's all I use in the kitchen now and I may end up switching all of my Bath and Body soaps for those. Peony smells soooo good, too.
I love Mrs. Meyer's dish soap- they have the best scents!
