items Whether it’s taking care of myself or my kids, here are some things that truly make my life easier, or better, as a full time mom of two.
Because I don’t have time to wash my hair everyday or get my hair wet in the shower!!
Reusable Waterproof Shower Cap for Women, Large, Bright Yellow
I love how I can wear this on my wrist as a bracelet while carrying the kids in, it’s easier to find in my purse, and it’s easier to hang on a hook! I also like this soft silicone design because it’s easy to clean and it won’t break.
YAKA Silicone Wrist Rhombic Keychain Bracelet
I love that when the straw is closed this cup is completely leak proof. You can throw it in the front seat, floor board, or your bag and it doesn’t spill! But it has a straw and a handle like a normal cup. It’s stainless steel and fits in my car cup ...
HydroJug Traveler 40oz Insulated Tumbler
Because I don’t do a whole skincare routine every night. I love that these are fragrance free, compostable, and a reputable cleaner brand. They also help if you have littles who get in the makeup.
Honest Beauty Fragrance Free Makeup Wipes 30ct
This isn’t non toxic, but I have dark hair so I love that it doesn’t spray white. It helps me go longer between washes and it smells good!
Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair Shades, 7 oz
I love how it’s an easy, soft, smooth shave. Just get it wet and it glides. You don’t have to worry about razor burn or using a shave cream or gel! It also has a little holder that sticks onto the tub to keep it up away from littles.
Venus ComfortGlide White Tea Manual Razor for Women, Handle, 3 Blades & 2 Refills, Pink
Because who has time to wipe over and over and over again. I also use these to wipe my daughter. We haven’t had any issues or sensitivity to them.
Cottonelle Fragrance Free Flushable Wet Wipes, 4 Flip-Top Packs
We’ve had this for four years and we’ve even moved it to another house and we still love it. I dread going number 2 without it. It’s so nice during your menstrual cycle too.
LUXE Bidet NEO 120 - Single Nozzle, Self-Cleaning, Non-Electric, Adjustable Pressure
I don’t know how filtered the water really is but it gives me peace of mind and it doesn’t have any tastes or smells! I like the dispenser versus the pitcher because it’s easier for my kids to get water themselves.
Waterdrop WFD-22L 40-Cup Water Filter Pitcher
I like to use these in the car or on the go so my toddler doesn’t just dump out the whole bag or container. It’s also more intentional and focused eating, almost like a challenge or activity. They’re BPA free and easy to wash.
Munchkin Snack Catcher - 2pk - Blue/Green: No Spill Design, BPA-Free, Latex-Free
These are so easy to slide on and go, they match everything, and they’re washable and easy to wipe clean! So cheap too! They have more colors but there’s limited sizes.

Dries in 60 seconds!!! It doesn’t last super long but it is a quick and easy manicure when you can’t just sit there and let your nails dry.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polish - Electric Feels Collection - Peachy Flare - 0.31 fl oz: Nail Care, Smooth Opaque Finish
Because you’re going to want your hair up!! Get the bulk. You’ll lose them and they’ll break. Or you can just keep them all over the house and car like I do!

I just ordered these colors! I have two other sets but I thought these colors would be fun!!
Sisiaipu 4 Inch Large Hair Claw Clips 6 Pcs
These aren’t crunchy mom approved, but I don’t care. I don’t have time for leaks and now that I’m a mom I leak. I put these on with my granny panties and I don’t have to worry about a thing!
Kotex Ultra-Thin Extra-Heavy Overnight Pads with Wings - 24ct
This isn’t crunchy mom approved but I’m plus size and on SSRIs so I stay sweaty and I refuse to smell bad. This works all day long for me. I don’t get that dry sticky feeling and I don’t stink. It’s not wet gel either.
Secret Clinical Strength Invisible Solid Antiperspirant & Deodorant for Women - 2.6oz: Under Arm, Animal By-Product-Free
I drink Coke Zero every morning instead of coffee and this helps keep it cold longer!! Plus it’s cute and a little more secure for spills.

If you’re an Alani or energy drink mom, you’re welcome. It keeps your drink cold longer and gives it more structure and stability to help prevent spills!
