Welcome

What started as a digital diary to document a newfound journey as a stay at home mom / wife has quickly evolved into my own little corner on the internet where I share all that life brings my way -- the good, the bad, and everything in between. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you stay awhile!

1929 Living Room from Karpen Furniture

hello my dears! 

it's been a minute. I took a little spring break to decompress because having a post (or sometimes two) go live each week is not for the faint of heart especially when you're a homemaking + homeschooling mom. Truthfully, I felt a little burned out, so I thought it would be okay to miss two weeks of posting, but I'm back! 

I'm posting on thursday this week because it's been a week full of planning a garden and figuring out a few home things, but that's okay. being so around the home focused inspired this post -- today I'm sharing  my favorite amazon home items that I have personally purchased! I know a lot of bloggers (myself included) love a good round up, but in all honesty, I don't have all the money to purchase everything I round up. that's not sustainable in the long run and we all know it. 

I mostly curate round ups for the look book because I love looking at them myself, but I am always curious about things that people actually purchased. so that's what today is all about! today's post is a little different because under each linked item, I wrote how I use it and why I love it. so without further ado, here's the list of amazon home items that I love.

*but first, a little disclaimer, all links below are affiliate!

 


summer blanket 

one of my favorite blankets. every bed in the house gets the comforters switched out with this waffle blanket in the summer because it keeps you so cool. it's also a wonderful gift. we have the colors taupe, white, sage green, sky blue and terracotta.

ribbed glasses

the perfect glass for pretty iced lattes. it's a thicker glass and feels expensive! the ribbed looks gives it that vintage vibe that I love. I opted for the 14 ounce version and love it.

chinese scissors 

love using these to cut herbs from the garden. they're sharp and antique looking, which is exactly what I wanted.

checkered blanket

I bought these for my children's bedroom in the colors caramel, dark olive and navy. they are well-loved due to how soft they are. they also wash so well, which is perfect for kiddos who may still have accidents at night. my kids loved these so much that they started dragging them out of the bedroom, so I bought three more of these in the smaller personal size in the colors coffee, black and light blue.

shelf baskets

a personal favorite for this type A mama. I love storing our wooden calendar pieces in them, as well as our yoto cards in the schoolroom. I loved these so much that I found a larger size and use them for our grapat pieces and other wooden loose parts!

juicer

somedays, I want a quick glass of fresh squeezed juice, but I can't afford the price tag of a lot of them on the market. this little juicer is the perfect compromise. it's small, but mighty. a great size for storage, easy to put together and clean.

candle stick holder

they're a little light, but they're affordable and cute! I love the little tray that catches drips of melted beeswax.

olive tree

I bought this while it was on sale, and I am obsessed with how good it looks. it's really a great deal on sale. all you need is a basket or pot to place it in, and it's a stunning addition to any room.

face cloth set

this past year, I've made it a goal of mine to have separate towels for my hands and face. It's been a game changer for my skin routine. I love the material of these -- it's not rough, but still has an exfoliating feel if you choose to use them as a washcloth. I love using them as a fresh cloth to dry my face with after I wash my face.

satin pillowcase

I bought this because it's better for curly hair, but in all honestly, I mostly love it for it's cooling effect. not to mention that it has a zipper and looks so much more put together than a regular pillowcase.

tabby kitten statue

my kids love kittens, so I bought this little guy to sit on a shelf in our family room. he's so sweet and almost looks real!

glass soap dispenser

I bought this to elevate and simplify the look of my dish soap! I'm always washing dishes and I hate seeing logos and labels everywhere. In the grand scale of things, I know that this is such a first world problem, but having my soap in a pretty little dispenser makes the area look so put together.

hand held milk frother

my sweet cream cold foam obsession has found its match in this little hand held milk frother. it's a powerful little gadget that makes coffee shop style foam in minutes!

travel cosmetic bags

these bags are my favorite for road trips and I loved them so much, that I bought all the available colors. the fact that they are clear is perfect because you can see what you put in the case without actually opening them -- perfect for an over packer like myself. the larger cases are great for shampoo, soap, hairstyling products, toothbrushes, and make up. I use the smaller ones in my purse to store lip gloss, hair accessories, small lotions, band aids, and pens. both sizes of the case carry so much and I really can't recommend these cases enough. 

vintage style blue glass jar

I bought these jars to use as little vases for wildflower centerpieces for a birthday party, and they are so pretty. I love the light blue color of the glass and the vintage, farmhouse style it gives off.

cotton duvet cover

I've been searching for the perfect duvet cover and finally found it. It's 100% jersey knit cotton and it's so cozy. not only is it soft, but it has corner ties, which really helps the comforter staying in place. 

small letter pie cutters

small but, mighty cutters and the best part, these aren't just for pie! I love using these to cute little messages with fruit or cut out fondant for a cake. it comes with a case, which makes it great to store and keep them all together.

floor pouf

I bought these (in different colors) for the homeschool room to have during reading time. the boys are dragging them everywhere because they're so cozy and comfy to sit on. I love that the covers are washable too. that's always a mom win.

brass sugar spoon

this dainty little bee spoon is what I use to mix my coffee. beautifully made and sparks so much joy!

rotary grater and shredder

this is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets because it cuts prep time and for a busy mom, that's always a win. I use this to grate cheese, shred carrots, and it has a slicer blade part, so it's good for other veggies too.

wide mouth glass jars (12 oz)

these are perfect for pickling, storing homemade syrups and jams! my family likes to use them as drinking glasses too.

candle wick trimmer

self-explanatory, but I really do love it.

faux poppy stems

nothing brings me joy like fresh flowers do, so these beautiful flower stems are all kinds of lovely.


aaaaaaaaaand that's a wrap! 

those are all of my favorite amazon home items that are in my house! I went down my purchase history since 2020 and to my surprise, I didn't buy that much! I mostly buy books on Amazon, so I was pleaseantly pleased at the list. until next time, xoxo
