Chasing Toddlers, Not Trends
The most comfortable everyday shoe, that actually helps my back not feel wrecked carrying around a 35lb toddler!
HOKA Bondi 9 Tennis Shoes
I swear by Owala freesip water bottles! They don't leak and they have a straw AND 'pour' option that make it super easy to use for myself and my toddler.
Owala 32oz FreeSip
The only brand of phone case that I trust to hold up to my toddler's antics of stealing my "bye bye" and running off with it.
Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear Case
The diaper bag that does it all (mostly). I love the size, the changing pad that is easy wipe to clean, the top easy access pocket, the material that's water (and milk) resistient, and the double side bottle holders. Truly an all-in-one bag for us!
Lululemon New Parent Backpack (Diaper Bag)
My go-to shorts that are comfy, cute, casual, but also perfect for a quick workout!
Lululemon Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Short 4"
Because moms don't get days off to lay in fetal position with cramps. These are my go-to shorts when I need to be on the go, while my body is demanding some relief.
Lululemon Softstreme High-Rise Short 4"
Winter mom must have. I have multiple pairs of these that I LIVE in during the cooler months. They super soft, not "too claustrophobic", very 'forgiving' and even better... have pockets!
lululemon Align™ High-Rise Pant with Pockets 25"
Life hack - get all black socks that match (and that you love & are beyond comfortable) and you never have to struggle to match socks again!
Bombas Ankle Sock
My go-to socks when I 'need' something a bit taller (boots, hiking shoes, gym, etc.). Again, all black so I never struggle to match them!
Bombas Running Half Calf Sock
The perfect option to keep in your purse or diaper bag! Just dab a smidge on your 'pulse points' when you're feeling a bit stinky after chasing your mini around.
SOL DE JANEIRO Cheirosa ‘62 Roller Perfume
The perfect thing to throw in my bag/car to be able to entertain myself silently, when the little lady falls asleep in the car.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Fed, Not Fancy
I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. Like it's bad. This is absolutely delicious and a necessity as a mom.
It's also not *too* sweet that my husband doesn't like it - it's seriously the perfect caffeine that we both enjoy!
Alani Nu Cosmic Stardust Energy Drink 12-Pack
A "healthy popsicle" I can have when I'm needing some extra hydration (hello hangovers in my 30s, after 2 glasses of wine) and one I'm comfortable sharing with my toddler, whenever she wants! These are a staple in our freezer!
Pedialyte Electrolyte Freezer Pops 64ct
I love drinking this about 30min before bedtime. Helps me relax to get to sleep and helps me stay asleep! I do rotate different "sleepy drinks" so I don't get too 'used to them' to where they're not effective. Not sure if it's placebo or not - but I ...
Nello Supercalm
These are on subscription to our house. I got hooked on these when I was pregnant and they are still a staple. They are GF & vegan, AND they're super beyond delicious. Perfect grab & grow breakfast / snack that is packed with protein.
NuGo Chocolate Pretzel & Chip Bars
Are you GF and/or vegan? These are my version of the thin mint girl scout cookies. Highly recommend as a "healthy" version of those cookies too!
NuGo Dark Chocolate Mint Chocolate Chip Bar
Toddler Tested, Mom Secured
The only thing between our ice addicted toddler and our freezer being open all day and night.
Child Proof Refrigerator Lock
Currently on our big cabinets, trash cans, shoe shelves and more. Easy to lock (she loves 'helping' us make sure they're locked) and easy to unlock for quick access - but not so easy she's figured it out.
Child Safety Cabinet Locks
The perfect option for setting up "routines" for bedtime or naptime, that help your toddler recognize ques & patterns. We have ours connected to our fans and thermostat to help us keep our lady cool at night.
Amazon Echo Dot
