The Best Things I Bought on Amazon This Year

Since E started walking, I have found myself buying more and more on Amazon and going to the store less and less. There have been a lot of hits and a lot of misses. Today I’m sharing the best things I bought on Amazon this year. No surprise, a lot of it is house stuff…. Like the shower curtain hooks I bought on a whim and LOVE. They make taking off your inner curtain so much easier (we wash ours frequently). And the headbands I bought – I’ve been living in them!

My best Amazon purchases of the year

The clear bags are amazing for travel. In this post you can see how I made an activity bag for our flight to Orlando. And the two navy dresses I bought in the summertime, and I wore them ALL summer long. Below I posted a few images from Instagram with the navy maxi dress, the navy short dress, and the toddler sun hat. Both dresses come in a bunch of other colors! P.S. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can sign up for a 30 day free trial.

Checked in on the house! We just need some walls, paint, appliances… 😂 I have a bunch of videos saved under my highlights so I can track the progress of our #homereno – October can’t come soon enough! 🤞🏻 #renovationproject P.S. If you have any recommendations for lighting or tile, let me know! Those are next on my list.

Boating babes ⛵️💕 . One thing I’m very much looking forward to this month is the arrival of a new baby on my side of the family- my first niece on my side! My husband’s side of the family has 3 other grandkids, but E was the first on my side. I can’t wait to see how E reacts to a newborn, but also I can’t wait for the relationship I hope they will develop over the years. They’ll be only slightly farther apart than my sister and I are! While we don’t plan for E to be an only child, it is wonderful to know she will have family close in age 💕 . I’ve been loving these knotted headbands lately, and especially this striped navy and white one! Perfect for a day at the beach or on the boat ⛵️ https://liketk.it/2D9Ce @liketoknow.it
