This is a list of activities I have purchased off Amazon for my kids that help keep them occupied while we are inside on a rainy or a too hot of day, day. I love all the cute activities that Pinterest has, but also, that takes a lot of work so I like to find simple ready to go activities.

After 18 years of pregnancy and child rearing these have been my favorite baby items. Some things are more expensive than others. However, these items have lasted YEARS in comparison to other items. I believe I have tried most items on the market wasting unnecessary amounts of money on things that were never used or lasted. Plus, they resell very well, excluding bottles.

My tried and true items! Being a new mom there are so many items you actually will never use

This is my no fluff list of Amazon finds I use in real life as an elementary school mom. Think school drop off mornings, lunch packing chaos, carpool messes, homework time, and the little things that make mom life easier. Everything here is something I have personally bought, use regularly, or would repurchase. No random viral junk and no aesthetic only picks. If I find a better version, I update the list. I will keep adding and swapping items as our routines change, so if you are an elementary school mom trying to make everyday life a little smoother, this list is for you.

After watching my son struggle to focus at school I decided to withdraw him and jump into homeschool. I knew he understood The curriculum they were doing at school because he was also doing it at home with no problem. So when I had multiple conferences with his teacher about him not being able to do his school work I decided it was time to do it myself. We are now a year into homeschooling and he is thriving. Sometimes school can be overwhelming for kids and it's not natural for them to sit down for 7 to 8 hours. I focus on a lot of interactive learning and it works well for my 2-year-old and my 6-year-old. I have listed some products that have really been key opponents to thriving in our homeschool experience.

In this list you will find educational toys for toddlers that encourage learning through play. Let’s face it, we all learn better through play.

Toys and gadgets that my kids (ranging 8-15) actually use or play with

We went into parenthood committed to having limited toys, and trying to find ones that would grow and find new utility as our babe grows. It turns out that actual life has different ideas, so we definitely have more toys than we meant to, but we have found a few bangers that are getting great airtime throughout the months (and hopefully years)! Most of these have been used for 10-12 months.

Those first few weeks with a squishy amazing newborn - (that you just gave birth to you bad ass mom) - are rough! These things definitely helped me feel better during a time I truly didn’t know what I would need. It is a whirlwind right after giving birth and anything you can do to ease your (mother)load is worth investing in!

These are all the things that make my baby's nursery my favorite room in the house. I truly have fun organizing and decorating the nursery and these items help me get everything just right.

I toss my diapers into the bathroom garbages right away and if it is a poopie one I tie up the bag and throw it into the outside bin. I hate having dirty diapers in the house the best thing to do is get them out asap.
