For the House
What I use specifically related to the kids around the house.
We absolutely adore our Hearth Display! We have routines set up for the kids and celebrate them completing their routines everyday. 🎊 Plus, my husband no longer has an excuse for not knowing my or the kids' schedules! 😉
The Best Digital Family Calendar & Routine Builder
I was looking for a steam cleaner for SO many things in our house. I was going to get the Bissel stand-up one, but then I saw a picture of someone using this in their car and I knew I had to get the portable one! It works great!
Portable Carpet Cleaner for Pets & Upholstery
We have a combined vaccuum/mop pet version and it is so amazing. I just hit start on it whenever we need it and off it goes collecting all the legos while mopping the floor. :-)
A Robot that Vacuums & Mops!
This thing stands up to all the kid abuse! We use it multiple times a day and it has never once given us issues. Now that's saying something.
Dyson Humdinger™ Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
We bought this for pet urine originally and now it has become a staple in the house not only for pet urine, but also human urine, pet/human feces, and all the gross things that somehow end up in one's house when they have young children.
Stain & Odor Eliminator for Strong Odors
For the Kids
The kids may think it's “for them”, but it's really for my own sanity.
Ok, look. Kids grow and they grow fast. I despise spending a ton of money on clothes they grow out of in mere months. So when I discovered FabKids (I don't even remember how…Facebook ad, maybe?) I haven't unsubscribed! My kids LOVE picking out the shoes and clothes on the website, there are always crazy sales on last month's styles, and you get a steep discount when you subscribe. Think a membership where you NEVER have to buy, points roll o...
An Easy Subscription for Kids Clothes & Shoes
Full disclosure, we don't have the phone…yet…My kids are still a bit too young, in my opinion. But we got our 7-year old daughter the smart watch for her birthday and it was the best decision ever! We can track her, she can text and call in an emerge...
Kid-Friendly Technology - Smart Watch Tracker & Phones
We bought this originally for our autistic son, but every kid loves it! It's the most used “toy” in our house by far and helps not only wth sensory needs, but fun time!
Swivel Swing for Sensory Needs in Children
Our kids love this! They have so much fun sliding down the stairs and it's a huge hit with friends who come over! Use this link for a 10% off coupon.
StairSlide | The best way to get down the stairs!
The greatest outdoor summer activity this year! Cut the cleanup, cut down on the mess, and let the kids refill the water balloons themselves. It's been wonderful! (Plus, no one has cried yet after being hit by one…so they must not hurt!)
Reusable Water Balloons | Silicone Water Bombs
These are amazing! We use them at home next to our bed when a kid wants to be close, and also while camping or on the road. Easy to put together and sturdy enough for kid wear-and-tear. Plus they are comfy enough that I have never heard the kids comp...
Youth Kid-O-Bunk Cots
Household Organization
Everything we use to try to keep the chaos as organized as possible.
We originally bought these to pack kids toys for our long car trips. Each kid gets their own and it's worked out great! In between car trips they sit at various areas of our house to collect treasures throughout the week.
Large Storage Baskets Bins with Lids
I use these for all the small items in our closets.
Woven Plastic Storage Basket
I love these for our pantry baskets and kids' closet clothes baskets!
Clip-On Label with White Chalk Markers
I have one of these on top of every toilet in the house! I put a fake plant in the middle (also linked on this list), then a toilet role on either side, plus my Flex Discs (see my Taking Care of Mommy list) on one side in the master bath for when my ...
Tank Topper Basket
I know this isn't organizing, but this is what I put in the Tank Topper Basket. 2 fit in the middle part!
Fake Small Potted Plants for Indoor Decor
This is what I have in the kid's bathtub for their toys.
Portable Shower Caddy Tote for Kids Toys
I have one of these in the living room next to the couch for our blankets. It's also great to throw in the van with pillows and blankets for naps during a roadtrip.
XXXL WASHABLE Blanket Basket Large
One of THE BEST inventions ever! Seriously. I didn't know what to do with my spare sheets until this.

The best! I adore these. They are simple and easy and helped organize the shoe chaos in our mastwer closet.
Adjustable Shoe Rack Stacker Organizer
I have the large ones in my closet for all my shelf clothes. They are perfect!
Closet Storage Bins for Organizing
We have this in the garage fridge and it helps sort the chaos, especially with those random single-types that get left over.
Drink Organizer for Fridge
This is great for our kitchen cabinets! We have two cabinets with this to help with our water bottles. We have one for day-to-day water bottles and one for travel coffee mugs. My only recommendation is to add a non-stick on the bottom if you have a d...
Stackable Water Bottle Organizer for Pantry
I love these to help the visual of the cord chaos! I also have it on my appliances that I store in the pantry to help minimize the space they take up.
Cord Organizer for Appliances
My husband thought I was crazy when this one showed up. Now he sees the method to my madness! Below our kitchen sink is actually functional now! I have one on either side with the garbage bag dispenser in the middle.
Under Sink Organizer | 2-Tier Pull Out
I have one in black and one in white for large vs. kitchen bags. They are stacked under my kitchen sink in between the Under-Sink Shelves. They're prefect!
Wooden Trash Bag Holder w/ optional Wall Mount,
We have one of these in all our high-traffic cord areas! They are great. Make sure you have a power strip to add inside and you are set!
Wooden Cable Management Box for Wires
I have bags of cords (see water proof organizing bags), all divided by type plus one miscellaneous and each cord is wrapped up with one of these!
Reusable Cable Management Organizer
These are perfect for everything! We have cords, puzzles, random game pieces, etc. in these. We also use them as wet bags for swimsuits!
Water-Proof Zipper Pouch Bags for Organizing
We have these in every bathroom drawer. They are perfect for organizing all the tiny pieces that end up in those drawers.
Non-Slip Drawer Organizers for Home Use
I use these for my work pants, jeans, and leggings to save closet space. They hold everything!
Hanging Closet Organizer for Pants & Jeans
This is perfect for our mudroom bench! It finally organized the chaos. It would also work perfectly in a closet.
Shoe Organizer Storage Containers, 16-32 Pairs
These are perfect for closets, cupboards, or the cube furniture.
Foldable Cloth Storage Cube Basket Bins
We have two! I keep holiday wrapping paper and accessories in one and non-holiday (birthday, baby shower, etc.) in the other, then slide them under our bed. It works great!
Wrapping Paper Storage Container - 27 Rolls
One of my favorite things in our kitchen! Seriously. It expands to fit different size drawers.
Bamboo Silverware Organizer
This is perfect in our pantry for our mop, dust bin, broom, etc.
Wall-Mounted Mop and Broom Organizer 3"x5"x17"
This works so well for all of my husband's hats! Plus, it has a dust shield. Because we all know they only wear the same four hats on repeat. So the ones he doesn't wear but “has” to keep are kept dust-free!
Hanging Closet Hat Organizer | Dust Proof
I use this for my essential oils and nail polish. It fits perfectly in the bottom drawer of my vanity to help organize the chaos and let me see the bottle labels.
3 Tier Shelves for Small-Bottle Storage
This is our kitchen island catch-all. You know, where mail and small items go to die? Yup, this is their graveyard. But at least those items aren't scattered across the house!
