10 Things I Bought & Loved This Week

Here’s what ended up in my cart (and made me happy) this week. This week’s round-up is a mix of little things that made my days better, easier, more organized, more fun, or things that are helping us get ready for some upcoming travels! Maybe you’ll find a new favorite or two, too!!

 

More of my favorite protein powder – I put it in my coffee every day and it’s SO GOOD!!!! 

The book I just finished (loved it!!!!) . and this new one I’m about to start! We’ve been in a reading routine ever since our trip to Bermuda! Kenny and I have been trying to read every night after the kids go to bed (vs just shows – but dont worry we still watch our shows too!) and it’s been SO nice. I felt like I hadn’t cracked open a book in sooo long, but making the time for it feels so good. and relaxing!! even this weekend, while the kids were playing in the sand at the beach I managed to read a few pages! 

A fridge calendar magnet for weekly planning – one week into using this and I’m already LOVING it – it helps my husband feel more in the loop on what’s going on schedule-wise, LOL. There is also just SOMETHING about actually having a written out calendar for the family vs the phone that I love. 

This kids packing solution – to get us ready for a big summer trip coming up, I splurged on one of these garment bags with slots for kids outfits, and had it monogrammed for Hadley. I’m calling it her first birthday present because this thing is not cheap! But I think feeling organized going into a month of travel will be worth it!

This necklace – for my upcoming trip to Sardinia, and I’m obsessssed. Oh my goodness, the quality is SOOO GOOD, and it has a magnetic closure back that I LOVE. Can’t recommend highly enough.

A new pillow – I am a side sleeper and I looove a SOFT down pillow, and mine was just starting to get old on me. So after a LOT of research, I splurged on this one, which is seriously a DREAM. Yes, it’s pricey – but I’m sleeping on it every night!

More of these things that keep my toddler (and now my baby too!) occupied at restaurants, airplanes, etc. with no mess – lifesaver for kids who go screen-free. (Here’s my Amazon list of all our toddler travel essentials and toys we love!)

More electrolytes – we love this brand of electrolytes – they’re great to have for travel days too!

A new active set: I have been loving this sports bra that I bought recently (the fit and fabric is sooo good!)  and needed something to go with it for the South’s heat this summer – so I tried these Target active shorts after seeing them on a friend and they are great!!

This Oat milk brand: If you guys know me you know I don’t eat a lot of processed foods, which means some of the oat milks, almond milks, etc I don’t love because of how many ingredients they have in them! For my everyday coffee, I love this brand of oat milk (I get it at Whole Foods) because it’s creamier than MALK but still has no gums, oils, etc. just three ingredients – oats, salt, and water. It’s delicious – and creamy!! I have been making iced coffees at home and they’re SO GOOD!! I use our espresso machine, mix the espresso with honey (this brand, ALWAYS. – the absolute best honey!) then I put it over ice and oat milk and a little vanilla protein powder + cinnamon. To die for!!!!!!!!

Another one of these adorable baby bibs for Hadley that has a magnetic back – this thing is SO much better than our other bibs. The simplicity of a magnet!!

Linen short set: Ok so I didn’t technically buy these because I MADE them, but we launched the ABSOLUTE BEST white linen short & linen knotted crop top this week and you guys are going to LOVE them
