How is it May?! We had a great trip to Florida last month and got a little taste of summer that’s making me so excited for the official kickoff. April was also a great month for Amazon finds, and I have a feeling a handful of these products are going to make it on my favorites list for 2024.
Here’s what I bought on Amazon in April:
Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator // This sunscreen applicator is genius and makes the process so smooth, especially for toddlers who just want to get out there and play. I couldn’t believe how much easier it was to apply, and the coverage was fantastic. 10/10 recommend.
Pipette Mineral Sunscreen – SPF 50 // I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve repurchased this sunscreen. It’s my favorite sunscreen for the boys because it’s lightweight, not sticky, and rubs in easily—crucial for on-the-move toddlers! I just did a restock for summer and sent in a fresh bottle to Jack’s daycare too.
Floafers Kids’ Water Shoes // These are Jack’s favorite summer shoes! I repurchased a pair for our Florida trip since he’s growing so fast.
Stroller Cup Holder with Phone Holder // I finally found a stroller cup holder that holds a drink and my phone! The cup holder easily clips onto your stroller handle and is sturdy enough to hold a 40 oz Stanley. The section for your phone is so handy and best of all, it’s under $10.
Sewing Clips // I love these sewing clips. I got them after watching several sewing videos where they use them, and I’m never going back to straight pins! These stay in place, never poke me, and are easy to apply and remove. Purchased to try to spur my inspiration to pull out the sewing machine again….
2 Pack Cordless Table Lamps // These little lamps are fun. I originally purchased a couple for my office space, and I loved them so much that I bought another set for my house. The particular set has three light settings for different vibes (warm light, warm white light, and white light) and is dimmable from 10% to 100% so you can control the intensity of the light. I’m excited to use them for dining al fresco this summer!
Matrescence Book // I just finished reading an ARC of this book and promptly preordered a copy of it for one of my friends who I know is going to love it. (I’ll share more in my monthly reading recap… but just trust me on this and order it!)
Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray // This stuff is magical! I forgot to pack it with us on our trip to Florida and ended up overnighting it. It’s a lifesaver for removing tough stains and a toddler essential.
Shoe Stretcher // I’m determined to wear my favorite Chanel flats again, that sadly are a little too tight after pregnancy. Hoping these shoe stretchers do the trick!
Slip-On Heels // I needed a new pair of heels for a wedding we have coming up, so I ordered this cute pair under $100. I love their simplicity and think they’ll be great dress shoes this summer. I haven’t been able to wear heels for a while due to foot pain, so I’m hoping I’m able to again soon.
Ready to Rise Children’s Sleep Trainer // We are testing out this new alarm clock for Jack. It turns green to let him know it’s ok to get out of bed. I’ll keep you posted. Fingers crossed!
I keep seeing those lights everywhere and may need to give them a try!

Sewing Clip link for the win! Thanks Carly
Is Jack having a sleep regression and getting out of bed too early? What does the sleep clock help with? Would love to. know more as we are having sleep issues too and were wondering what strategies you’re trying!
He’s just in a big boy bed now!
A sneaker head trick for shoe stretching is to stick a water balloon in the shoe and freeze it.
