What a busy month we’ve had! We were surrounded by sickness for a lot of the month before and after Mother’s Day, but we still had some special family moments as well! We’ve been enjoying the warmer weather and spending time in our backyard, our front porch, and walks around the blocks near our house. A lot of these favorite finds will be reflected in the time we spent cleaning up around the house when we were sick, and the time we have been spending outside in the gorgeous summer weather!
Keep reading to see my favorite finds for women, kids, and our home that we were loving this month!
Amazon Finds from May 2023
Inkless Label Printer
This little label maker has been so much fun to use and label any and everything around the house! I just added some labels to our herbs (even though we know what they are) and I’ve also been labeling some of the containers in the pantry. I even added the kids’ names to their water bottles (in case they ever get lost somewhere). It doesn’t use any ink and you just use an app to type out whatever you want the label to say and it connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to print it out on the sticker.
Pizza Oven Grill Conversion Kit
We are a big pizza fam over here and ordering pizza or making it homemade is nothing new for us… but we decided to level-up our pizza nights with this Pizza Oven conversion kit for our Weber grill. I got this for my husband for Christmas and with these warmer days, we will be using this a LOT! It’s a bit of a learning curve to learn how to build the fires just right and time out the cook of the pizzas, but the flavor is so worth it! Pro Tip: make sure you invest in a temperature gun so you can track the inside temp and know when it’s ready for your pizza!
This conversion kit is easy to install and transforms your Weber grill into a fully functional pizza oven within minutes.
Miss Mouth’s Stain Treater
This stuff is the absolute GOAT (greatest of all time!) and I can’t stop recommending it to everyone! Especially if you have young kids, but it has been hands-down the best stain remover that I have ever used! It gets out those nasty yellow blowout stains, red and purple berry stains, dirt streaks and grass stains… it’s just the best. It even comes in a refillable size now, so you don’t have to keep buying new little bottles - just keep them and refill them as you need!
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater is a revolutionary product that has changed the game of household cleaning. This powerful little spray bottle can take on even the toughest and most stubborn of stains, whether they be from food, ink, or even blood. Its specially formulated cleaning solution is tough on stains, yet gentle on fabrics and surfaces, leaving no residue or discoloration. Gone are the days of scrubbing and washing for hours on end, thanks to Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater.
Daily Grace Co Devotionals
Eric gave me this devotional for Mother’s Day and I have really been enjoying going through it. They are great simple reminders that are filled with deep truths and are some really great resets for me in the throws of motherhood.
This devotional is all about reminding yourself of the good news of the gospel and how it applies to your life. Whether you're new to the faith or have been a Christian for years, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to grow in their understanding of the gospel and how it can transform their life.
Wooden Toy Workbench
We were lucky enough to be gifted this wooden toy workbench from some friends at church and we have been getting SO much use out of it on our front porch! Both kids love using the tools and putting things together and hammering EVERYthing. This is a great gift for indoors or outdoors (if you can keep it covered) and is definitely worth the money! It would make a great “big” gift for kids’ birthdays.
Step2 Red Wagon
Now that the weather is warmer and the baby is a little bit bigger, it’s been much easier to take our red wagon for walks around the city! We were gifted this wagon when our son was little (before our second kid came along), but we’ve been using it so much more now that we have two! Our son still loves to hop out and in when we go on walks. The only downside is that they can both start to feel pretty heavy when pulling them for a long time! It’s an arm and leg workout for sure.
Bamboo Soap Dispenser Set
I’ve shared these soap dispensers before, and they are not new to me, but as I was deep-cleaning some areas of my kitchen, they just stood out to me again and I was reminded of how much I love them, so I wanted to share them again! They are plastic with a bamboo pump top and a bamboo tray that really makes these look high-end!
Waterproof Blanket Mat
We were surrounded with sickness before and after Mother’s Day this month, and this waterproof blanket/mat came in clutch several times. It’s easy to lay down on our toddler’s bed in between sheet and mattress cover changes, but we also took it to the couch for some of his naps in case of sickness or messes. Bonus: it’s also great to keep on the couch during potty-training!
Terrazzo Car Coasters
I’ve had stone car coasters before that I picked up randomly when on vacation at the beach, but one of my kiddos found them and broke them by accident… with warm weather approaching (and more cups that happen to drip in the warm weather), I decided to search for some that weren’t so “vacation-mode” and came across these fabulous terrazzo styles!
Hues & Cues Game
This is a game that I have had since Christmas (it was given to me as a gift), but I actually ONLY opened it this past weekend to play with some family once the kids were in bed! I’m a big fan of the strategy/puzzle aspect - it’s like one big guessing game with a few clues given to try and get as close to the chosen color square as possible. Somewhat low-competitive factor, which makes it a nice group game, especially if you don’t want to get too invested in a long game.
Self-Watering Plastic Hanging Planters
It’s my goal this year to keep some plants alive (for longer than a few months) and I love the look of these Boston ferns on our front porch, especially since we have so much shade out front. I don’t usually know what to do with plants or what planters to get for them, but I knew I didn’t want to keep the ferns in their original plastic planters because they had big holes on the bottom and would leak all over the porch when I watered them. Then I found these $10 plastic self-watering hanging planters at Target and they are perfect!!
Carpuride Portable CarPlay System
CarPlay has been a “want” for a long time now! And since we’re not buying a brand new car anytime soon, and I didn’t feel like changing out the entire dashboard infotainment system, this portable carplay system has been the perfect solution to adding CarPlay features to my car! Eric gave this to me as a Mother’s Day gift and it has been absolutely clutch! It was super easy to install and connects so easily to my phone anytime I get in and out of the car. I highly recommend it! We went with the 7-inch size and it’s just right for our needs.
