items Listen, my boys keep me ON MY TOES. These are things tht have changed the game in our household. Whether that be cooking without tripping over them or being able to doom scroll on the couch while they play (no judgement here). My boys AND their mom a...
These are just SO GOOD. You can’t see them physically on the cabinet, which was a plus for us. We store the magnets to open the cabinets higher up on the side of our fridge so the boys can’t reach & I thought that would be annoying but now it’s j...
20 Pack Magnetic Cabinet Locks Baby Proofing
Not the prettiest things, but practical. They’re on our kitchen drawers and our boys’ dresser drawers. Will be ordering more for our bathrooms!
Goodv Child Safety Cabinet Locks - 10 Pack
Now these are a nonnegotiable for my family and they stay stocked in the diaper bag at all times. These stick right on the table & they beat having to worry about our boys messing with a plate in front of them. These might be favorite & we ge...
Disposable Stick-on Placemats 40 Pack 12x18
Another must. Why do they want to stick their little fingers in an outlet? I’ll never understand and that’s okay because these are everyone in our house & in my parents as well.
Outlet Covers Baby Proofing 50 Pack Plug Protectors
Any lock of this kind, is well worth it. Kids are seriously curious and mine play with these all the time but I never have to worry about my burners being turned on.
Mom's Choice Gold Award Stove Knob Covers (5+)
And just when I thought no more fingers would go in the outlets with the inserts on this list, my kids begin to YANK out anything that’s plugged in. So, bring in these guys, and FINALLY my outlets are left alone!
EUDEMON Baby Safety Electrical Outlet Cover
These are really awesome! Makes your child feel a little more involved in the kitchen & keeps them away from tripping you up. This foldable one is also great if you don’t have a lot of room in your kitchen to allow the flexibility of putting it a...
Boon Pivot Toddler Tower Step Stool - White
We’ve tried loads of different high chairs but this is, without a doubt, my favorite. It’s easy to wipe down and clean, there’s multiple options on how to use it, and you can take the straps out and throw them in the washer (which is a perk I didn’t ...
Ingenuity SmartClean Trio Elite 3-in-1 High Chair
Car safety is SO IMPORTANT, and we’ve loved these car seats. There’s no extra shiny bells and whistles on this one, which it doesn’t need. Easy install, easy to travel with, and easy in & out with your toddler!
Maxi-Cosi Pria All-in-One Car Seat After Dark
When I tell you, I AM PASSIONATE about this wagon, I’m not kidding. This thing has been through it with my two boys and it has stood the test of time. It’s easy to clean, it’s spacious, it comes with attachments & you can purchase more, you can p...
Atlas Stroll 'N Wagon
Everyone in my family is shocked, including me, that my boys keep their sunglasses on, without the strap. These do exactly what they’re supposed to and now when we go on walks, my kids are always asking for these
HXS Toddler Polarized Sunglasses 0-4Y
One thing about me, is I DO NOT play when it comes to water. I’m not the best swimmer so it scares me to begin with but kids and water? A different level of anxiety. When I saw $50 for a life jacket I thought that was absurd BUT, it’s USCG approved, ...
Stearns Child Life Jacket Heads-Up Flotation
Potty training isn’t for the weak. We’re just about to get going and this has peaked my little guys interest in using the potty!
SKYROKU Potty Training Toilet with Step Stool
Where, I repeat, WHERE has this been all my life? Bug bites? Spray this on it. Burn? Spray this on it. Kid scraped his knee and won’t let you touch it OR put a bandaid on it? Spray this on it. Just spray this on it!!!!!
Dermoplast Pain, Burn & Itch Relief Spray 2.75oz
The tried and true sunscreen for my kids. We’ve used this from day one & haven’t had a breakout, which is common with their sensitive skin. I’m not sure how many of these we’ve gone through but I’m about to restock
Thinkbaby SPF 50+ Baby Mineral Sunscreen 3oz
I’ve tried what feels like a million different detergents to try and find one that isn’t overly sensitive, has decent ingredients & doesn’t cause a reaction to my kids skin. Here is the winner!
Seventh Generation Ultra Concentrated Detergent 2 Pack, 132 Loads
I’ve bought two car seat bags for flights and the first one didn’t have much structure so by the time we got back home, it was hanging on by the seams, literally. This one? Chefs kiss 👌 there and back with no rips or holes.
YOREPEK Padded Car Seat Travel Bag Backpack
These were perfect for the price when we traveled. Able to plug in to the iPad/amazon tablet and both my kids had no problem with the pressure from take off to landing!
awatrue Kids Wired Headphones w/Mic, 85dB
Got these as a Christmas present for our kids and decided to get them customized/engraved with their names and I have zero regrets. They love them and they’ve been the most reliable water bottle for them.
Rambler® Jr. 12 oz Kids Water Bottle
This is also on my newborn list because it’s just that good
Shower & Bath - Body Wash
My holy grail in the summer. We always double up with this and a regular diaper underneath (if you’ve ever changed a post-swim poopy diaper WITHOUT a regular diaper between, you get it) and it holds everything in. Love the adjustable snaps so they c...
Babygoal Baby & Toddler Girl Swim Diapers 3 Pack
Water shoes are a MUST. My kids love playing in their splash pad/pool/water table and moving from grass to the hot pavement, regular sandals weren’t cutting it. These also were perfect for traveling and visiting the ocean & too hot sand. These pr...
FEETCITY Kids Water Shoes Aqua Socks Quick Dry
I had to find chalk that was washable because the target stuff had ruined one too many articles of clothing for both me and my kids. I mean, chalk is chalk, but I haven’t had a bad experience with these!
Crayola Ultimate Washable Chalk Collection 64ct
The best thing for hot days. My kids have spent an insane amount of time using this for two summers now and honestly it’s perfect for adults too.
Bestway H2OGO! Under The Sea 10' Splash Pad
In all honesty, didn’t understand the hype around water tables and then I purchased one beginning of summer and this paired with the splash pad? Chefs kiss 😚
Step2 Rain Showers Splash Pond Toddler Water Table
I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t sit blowing bubbles until my lips were chapped and didn’t have the opportunity to lick them before my boys were shouting “again!” A bubble machine. Thank me later.
Bubble Machine Durable Automatic Blower 18000+ Bubbles/Min
THIS!! Probably our best purchase leading into the summer. The different variations and that it can grow with them for the price is unmatched.

Safety > everything else
Kids Adjustable Multi-Sport Bike Helmet, 3 Sizes
This is great because it can be used outside and inside and it’s endlessly entertaining. We, as in myself, currently have dunk contests while my boys giggle and watch. They also love to push it over and walk across it like a balance beam 🙃
TotSports Easy Score Kids Basketball Hoop Set
We use these for the wagon and park days but now also have been using in the car since the second row vents aren’t on the ceiling of the car.
