Post date September 13, 2019

I am sad to see Summer go, but I am so excited to start transitioning into Fall. The weather, the fashion and the home decor are my favorite in the Fall. As the seasons change, I love to update my home decor to fit the season and feel festive. I have found some great Amazon Home Decor Finds that are a quick (hello prime!) and easy way to add touches of Fall to my home and make the transition from Summer to Fall more seamless.

Check out my top 10 Amazon Home Decor Finds to help you transition into Fall below!

Transition into Fall with these 10 Amazon Home Decor Finds

#1 Faux Fur Decorative Pillow Covers (Set of 2)

Throw pillows are a simple and instant way to update a space. These pillow covers can go right over pillows you already have and have a fun faux fur texture that feels cozy for cooler weather.

#2 Capri Blue Pumpkin Dolce Candle

I am all about scented candles and Fall candles are simply the best. This pumpkin candle smells amazing and comes in a cute gold container.

#3 KAF Home Black and White Kitchen Towels (Set of 6)

Kitchen towels are another small thing I change per season as it’s just a simple detail that can really change the tone of the room. These black and white printed towels are so pretty and I love that they go with everything.

#4 Pumpkin Spice Mug

A simple festive mug can bring all of the Fall feels! Get multiple so your guests can sip from one when they come over too.

#5 Rustic Ottoman Tray with Handles

I love entertaining and as the cooler temps come in, it’s so fun to entertain inside and outside. A great tray like this is great for those nights or even would look cute on your coffee table with some coffee table books and candles on top.

#6 Valery Madelyn Fall Harvest Wreath

Instantly amp up your exterior with a pretty Fall wreath. I love that this one mixes in the white pumpkins and could be left up even through Thanksgiving.

#7 Gold Metal Lantern

Another great item for those chilly outdoor entertaining nights! Just get some battery operated candles to put inside and set the mood!

#8 Glass Pumpkin Jar

This glass pumpkin jar is so cute! I know my daughters will love seeing this filled with treats in our kitchen.

#9 Textured Cozy Throw Blanket

A good throw blanket is a Fall essential. I love all of the texture that this one has that really makes your home feel cozy and warm.

#10 Black and White Plaid Rug

This rug is so cute and another quick fix to get your home Fall ready. I think this would make a great welcome mat for the season.

I’d love to know how you are getting your home ready for Fall! Comment below.

It’s that time of year again where Summer is sadly coming to an end, but it’s not quite Fall weather just yet.

As a busy mom, I use Amazon for EVERYTHING, even great affordable fashion finds. Check out my top picks of items you need to transition into Fall, all from Amazon!

Organizing for the New Year with these 10 Amazon Finds

Baby & Kids Must Haves for Amazon Prime Day 2019

Post author By tiffany
Post date July 15, 2019

What would we do without Amazon? Seriously! I buy things there weekly and have been looking forward to Prime Day to get some great deals. And let’s be real here, as a mom, I tend to buy almost everything for my baby there.

I wanted to share some items that we use on a daily basis that are on sale for the next two days. You don’t want to miss these deals as all of these items rarely go on sale, except for on Amazon Prime Day!

Sign into your Amazon Prime account to see all the deals

In order to get the Prime Day deals you must be an Amazon Prime member (and remember to sign into your account to see the deals!) If you are not a member yet, click the button below to get your free 30 day trial

Best baby deals for Amazon Prime Day 2019

Lillebaby Carrier || 35%-45% off

We love our Lillebaby baby carrier! It’s currently on sale for 35% off! I love this one in particular because you can carry your baby in 6 different positions! It’s a must have for travel too! If you want to save even more, this one is $30 less AND you 45% off!

Amazon Echo and Dot || 50% off

I’ve written about the Amazon Echo several times. It’s truly one of my favorite items in our house and even helps both my daughters sleep! We love music in our family and it’s so nice to be able to play basically any song and have a dance party in any of our rooms! We subscribe to Amazon Music Unlimited so it makes it so easy! We all have so much fun playing music and Layla has grown up knowing “Alexa” so she knows that she can ask Alexa to play songs, turn on/off lights, we even use her as a timer.

We have an older version of the Echo and as you can see below, I like that it’s small enough that can blend into your decor.

For the baby, we also have a Dot in her bedroom and we play lullabies or white noise to help her sleep.

Try Amazon Music Unlimited Free Trial – I highly recommend it for all parents as you can basically play any song from lullabies to disney favorites and once the kids are asleep you can play all your favorite music too!

Merlin’s Magic Suit (help your baby fall asleep and stay asleep!) || 25% off

The Merlin Magic suit was a lifesaver for us! It’s 25% off and something that I highly recommend to parents of babies who are transitioning to the crib. I transitioned Edie to her room pretty early due to the fact that both of us are light sleepers and were spending all night just waking each other up so neither of us got sleep! We transitioned at around 3 months and I got her the Magic Suit and the transition was seamless. It was actually better for us! The second we put her in her room, she started sleeping 10-12 hours a night!

Newton Baby Crib Mattress (Great for babies that sleep on their bellies) || 30% off

The Newton Baby Crib Mattress is 30% off! This is hands down one of the best baby purchases for me. Edie started sleeping on her stomach as soon as she could roll over. If not for the Newton Baby mattress, I would have been so stressed about her not being able to breathe when she slept. It’s a 100% breathable mattress and you can take the entire cover off to wash it. Note: This is a “lightning deal” so it will expire soon so make sure to shop it now!

Aden & Anais Swaddle Blankets || 20% off

Aden & Anais swaddle blankets are my favorite baby swaddles. I used them with Layla and she still to this day, sleeps with them. They are so soft and lightweight, yet keeps your baby warm. Save 20% on the swaddles packs!

Skip Hop Activity Center || 20% off

We got this activity center for Edie when she was 4 months old and she still loves it! It keeps her occupied and I love watching her play with it as she grows as she discovers new ways to play with the toys on it all the time. It’s kind of pricey so grab it now for 20% off!

Make sure to also check out all my Amazon baby recommendations and essentials! I update that list regularly and only add things that I truly love and use all the time.

Moon & Back by Hanna Andersson

This is not a prime day deal but I had to mention Moon & Back by Hanna Andersson, which is a collaboration with Amazon. If you know Hanna Andersson, you will not be disappointed by this line! The clothes are so soft and great quality, but the prices are so much more affordable. I’ve been putting Edie in these outfits and I just love how soft and comfortable they feel.

7 Amazon Prime Buys for your Preschool Child to make your life easier

Post author By tiffany
Post date June 13, 2019

I’m all about getting things that make my life easier with kids and these Amazon buys are ones that I rely on a daily basis! There’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Amazon Prime, the free 2 day shipping is amazing. Just saving myself the trip to the store to buy these alone makes me love it! But, Amazon carries so many products that you can’t just go into any store and buy.

Don’t miss out on these must have Amazon Prime picks for your preschool aged kids. These will make life easier for you and even more fun for them! Most of these even go beyond the preschool age.

1. Bubble Machine

I had to start out with the bubble machine only because the weather is getting warmer and we are spending so much time outside.

It’s seriously hours of entertainment and very little effort. I like that it plugs into an outlet and not just on batteries (but you have the option of both) It’s nice to not have to be replacing batteries all the time.

My review and tips: The machine works great. TONS of bubbles and it’s easy to clean. I recommend to clean it after every use so that the bubble residue doesn’t build up and gum up the machine. I just fill the bubble reservoir with water (just water from the faucet is fine) and let the machine run for 5 minutes. After that it will be clean and ready for your next use!

2. Car Seat Protector

I know very few parents who can keep the backseats of their cars clean with two little ones. The car seats just tend to collect so much crumbs, dust, dirt, etc… These protectors not only help protect the interior of your car but it makes it SO much easier to clean. Just pull it out and wipe down the protector. You will thank me for this tip after your next road trip. 🙂

My review and tips: Super easy to install and works great for both rear facing and front facing seats. Use the pockets below to store wipes or toys. Pull it out once a month to sweep out all the crumbs.

3. Dental Floss Holder

My daughter is 5 and we have been teaching her how to take care of her own teeth, which includes flossing. It was so hard for me to get my hands into her tiny little mouth and this holder was exactly what we needed.

Now she actually enjoys flossing her teeth and loves to show me that she can do it all by herself.

My review and tips: It does take an adult to thread this, so be prepared to do it each night. However it doesn’t take that long and just make sure that you wind it around tight enough so that the floss is taut.

Our other bathroom essentials for my daughter are the Hello Kids Rinse (mouthwash), Kids Sonicare toothbrush, and the best unicorn detangling brush (works so well!)

4. Car Seat Buckle Release

Ever since the baby arrived, we’ve been trying to teach Layla to do small things to make life easier for all us and teaching her some independence. Getting out of the car was always a chore with two kids and took us forever.

Once I got this car seat buckle release and taught Layla how to use it (it’s super easy) she has been able to get out of the car seat herself and it makes our outings a lot easier. Bonus, it’s also great for older caregivers like grandparents who have a hard time pushing the carseat buckle with their hands.

My review and tips: Keep it in the cup holder (my daughter’s car seat has two so we store this in one of them) and teach your child how to put it on herself and how to use it. Make sure they know NOT to use it while the car is moving.

5. Kid’s timer

We have a pretty set nightime routine and my daughter has certain responsibilities that she has to do before bed. But if you know kids, if you don’t give them a time limit they will take their darn time and it will be 11pm before she’s in bed! I love these sand timers as it’s a great visual for her and it really works!

We use the 5 minute timer for her to clean up her toys and the 30 minutes timer for how long she can stay up to play in her room. It takes her awhile to wind down at night, so instead of forcing her to go to sleep right away, we allow her to spend some quiet time in her room to play with her toys or read. After the sand timer is done she knows to stay in her room and go to sleep.

My child gets stressed by alarms and countdowns. The sand is a very easy and calming way to use a timer so that she doesn’t feel stress. I highly recommend it if your child is the same.

My review and tips: Use it every day and be consistent with it. For the first few times using it, watch it yourself so that you can let your child now when the time is up and then you can show them that there is no more sand in the top so they can really make the connection with how to use the timer.

6. Kid’s Clock

This is a great clock for kids to help them know when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. We don’t really have an early morning issue, both my girls will sleep in past 8am, even 9am is pretty normal for us. But if you have an early riser, this would help them know to stay in bed just a little longer.

I love that the face changes and the lights change colors so the child is aware of what should be happening (should I be asleep or awake?) Along with the sand time mentioned above, we use the clock as another visual cue of when she should be in bed sleeping.

My review and tips: This needs to be plugged in and the nightlight can be a little bright. Not too bright, but I’d still keep it at a good distance from the bed. You can also use this as a timer as well!

7. Hairbow Holder

I just bought this but when I saw it I knew we needed to have it. Layla’s bathroom is overflowing with bows. Sometimes when I’m looking for a specific one I have to sift through so many. This unicorn hairbow holder will be great to hang in the bathroom and help us both choose what bows she will wear that day. My daughter never goes a day without wearing a bow so this is a must have for us!

Essential Travel Items for Moms and Kids from Amazon

Post date May 16, 2019

If you follow along with me on instagram (@tiffanyish) you know that we are currently on a family trip to Hawaii! This is our first big trip with both Layla and Edie so I wanted to be extra prepared when it came to what we packed for our 6 hour flight. I ended up making two lists, one for myself and one for the girls to make sure that we had everything we needed during travel. Today I am sharing all of the essential travel items for moms and kids and the best part is they are ALL from Amazon! Plus don’t miss the FREE Travel Essentials Printable Checklist below!

Essential Travel items for Mom:

When it comes to packing a carry-on for myself I like to keep it simple and organized. I really wanted to pack light for myself and include just the essentials I would need to get myself through the flight and to focus on taking care of

#1 Passport Wallet

This passport wallet is amazing! It has so many pockets to hold my cash, credit cards, passport and travel documents and is under $15! In Washington state we are now required to show our passports now to travel, even within the US so having something like this helps me remember to pack them!

#2 Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones are a lifesaver when your hands are full on a flight.

#3 Packing Cubes

These packing cubes help keep everything organized. I used some in my carry-on and some in our luggage. This comes as a set of 6 for under $20.

#4 Carry-on Tote

I am obsessed with this carry-on tote! It is cute and large enough to hold all of my stuff, as well as my girls things. Plus it has a slit in the back that can slide onto the handle of your luggage so that it sits perfectly right on top.

#5 Travel Tissues

These go without explanation, a travel essential for everyone!

#6 Honest Hand Sanitizer

This is my favorite hand sanitizer and it’s also safe for kids.

#7 Jet-Lag Face Mask

If I happen to get a minute to myself on the flight, this is my favorite in-flight mask to do!

#8 Aquaphor Healing Ointment

My skin and lips tend to get really dry on flights. This aquaphor healing ointment works on everything and keeps my moisturized.

#9 Stainless Steel Water Bottle

After we get through security, I like to grab a drink to take with me on the flight. This stainless steel water bottle keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours.

#10 Luggage Set

This luggage set is great and comes with a set of 3 for under $150.

#11 Portable Charger

Another serious travel essential, this portable charger works for phones and iPads.

#12 Nike Sneakers

Comfortable shoes are key when traveling and I love these cute nikes.

Essential Travel items for Kids and Baby:

When it comes to packing for my daughters, I tried to think of anything and everything we could possibly need that would keep them happy and entertained during such a long flight. Here is what I packed for my girls:

#1 Diapers

No brainer when traveling with a baby!

#2 Wipes

Of course you need for babies but also great to wipe off sticky hands and tray tables.

#3 Carters Baby Girls Clothing Set

An extra set of clothes (or 2) for baby is a must!

#4 Changing Pad

I take a changing pad with me wherever we go! I love that this one folds up as a clutch too.

#5 Plush Rattle

A plush rattle is great entertainment for infants and this unicorn one is so cute.

#6 Pacifier with animal

A pacifier is essential on flights! They actually help so that infants ears don’t pop from the air pressure and Edie loves this one with the stuffed animal attached.

#7 Nibbly Fingers Oat Bars

Oat bars are perfect on the go snacks so we made sure to pack some of these.

#8 Fresh Food Feeder

I saw this and thought it was genius! If you are in the stage of introducing solids this is a must-have and so easy to take on the go.

#9 Plum Organics Snack Pouches

These snack pouches are another favorite for on the go snacking.

#10 Kids Water Bottle

A water bottle for my older daughter is perfect for travel, and although they are not pictured above, of course bottles for Edie were in our bag as well.

#11 Snack Catcher Bowls

These snack catcher bowls are awesome! You can fill them up with your childs favorite snacks and the soft flap lids make snack time mess free.

#12 Portable Crib

A portable crib is a lifesaver when traveling and this one is so great as when it is folded up it has straps like a backpack to easily carry!

#13 Crayola Color Wonder Coloring Kit

My daughter loves coloring and these color wonder kits are mess free and perfect for the plane.

#14 Time for a Trip Book

A book is great in-flight entertainment and I love that this one is about taking a trip!

#15 Kids Headphones

For my older daughter, these headphones are so cute and perfect when using her tablet mid-flight.

#16 Toddler Travel Bag

Layla loves to have her own bag and this rolling unicorn luggage was perfect to put all of her travel essentials in and still small enough to use as a carry on.

#17 Toddler Travel Pillow

A travel pillow is great and I am hoping will help Layla to lay down or take a nap during the flight!

#18 Kids Tablet

We try to limit screen time but when it comes to a long flight, this tablet is perfect. We downloaded some of her favorite movies and games so it was ready for her to use when needed.

Shopping Haul: What I bought at Nordstrom and Amazon

Post author By tiffany
Post date February 26, 2019

During the two weeks we were stuck in the snow, I did a lot of online shopping. It was my only escape to the outside world. Haha! My two favorite places to shop are Amazon and Nordstrom and found some great tops to transition from this cold weather to spring.

AMAZON SPRING SHOPPING HAUL

Short Sleeve Lace Inset Blouse

I love the details of this blouse and the quality is fab for only $25! I wore it to dinner the other day when I just wanted something a bit more fancy.

Lace Shoulder Polka Dot Top

So cute and only $13! The only thing I don’t love is that it’s a bit short length wise so it looks better tucked in. If you are taller or have a longer torso, it might not work.

Long Sleeve Ruffle Sleeve Tunic Top

The ruffle sleeve is what got me but I love the stars too! This tunic comes in so many colors and prints and is so warm and comfy. And for $20, I’m getting a few more colors!

I love the tunic length to wear with leggings but it looks cute tucked in or tied up like this as well.
