Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Ours was good overall. Shew…Mother Nature was having mood swings with cold and dreary weather on Saturday and then a lovely sunny, spring day yesterday. On Saturday, we of course watched the Kentucky Derby which was such an exciting race from start to finish.

Well, after the first Saturday in May comes the first Monday in May where I share my Amazon purchases!

This month had lots of re-orders for me…

I still use this Vitamin C serum most days as part of my skincare routine…

I first purchased these facial sponges for Hadley’s Easter basket last year, but now we both use them. They come in handy for travel as well. (I’m still loving these facial towels, and have more on the way!)

This hydration mist is also a part of my skincare routine, and it’s perfect for when your skin feels dry.

I love this In Common 4-1 Magic Myst. I mostly use it as a leave in conditioner after I wash my hair; Hadley uses it too.

I ordered this shirt in black a few months ago, and now have it in gray. It’s perfect to wear with shorts, leggings, and even with some of my favorite cropped pants that I have in a few colors.

I ordered Hadley one of these sports bras, and she loved it so much I went ahead and ordered a second one. They are great quality, and you can’t beat the price.

And, now a few new items…

My B12 was a bit low, and Trav’s vitamins are all this brand, so he ordered me this B12.

Hadley wanted a pair of flat sandals to wear when she went to Keeneland and since I didn’t have to spend money on the dresses she wore, I told her I’d buy her some sandals. #girlmath

Anyway, she says these are a 10/10 purchase!

Speaking of Hadley, Easter was so chilly, and when she’d purged her closet a couple of months ago, she realized she got rid of her white cardigan. Well, she’s had that one for years, so it was probably time for a new one. She found this cropped one, and it’s perfect. She’s already worn it a few times since Easter.

What’s the last thing you’ve ordered from Amazon?

Hello and happy Monday!

Well, Mondays sure “hit different” when it’s spring break! It was so nice to not set an early Monday morning alarm. How was your weekend? We had lovely weather Saturday for a track meet, and then Easter with family was great yesterday.

Did you catch my Friday post? By accident, I set it to publish at a later time?! Whoops.

Anyway…on to April and taking a look back at my Amazon purchases for March.

Amazon was my “go to” spot to pick up a few Easter basket items for the kids.

Hadley loves all things skin/body care, so I picked up these sponges for her to use with body wash.

Someone shared this game, and I thought it looked fun. If we are playing games, most likely it’s a card game, so we’ll see how this one goes.

{Over 30k bought in the past month}

Hadlley had been wanting to try the Medicube brand, so I thought these toner pads would be a good place to start.

{Over 100k purchased in the past month}

Hadley has a couple of these tanks, and she wanted one more. They are great quality, and similar to more expensive brands.

I’ve seen this car goo, and have been been curious about it. Let’s just say that one of my kids keeps their car tidier than the other. Maybe this car goo can help with the crumbs??

{Over 20k purchased in the past month}

Hadyen is constantly looking for his phone charger…maybe adding to more into the mix will help his cause?

{Over 10k bought in the past month}

When I started making Easter baskets for the kids sixteen years ago, I didn’t consider that one day I’d be putting car supplies in their Easter basket. They both like having a vent air freshener in the car.

I love a set, and this one has surpassed my expectations. I’ve already worn it a couple of times, and I’ve worn it as separates (the shirt is a good length to wear with leggings).

I have a pair of sunglasses that I love and wear all the time. I wanted a less expensive pair to have handy, toss in my purse, etc. These are super cute and just my style.

{Over 30k purchased in the past month}

Y’all, I thought I lost my favorite tumbler at a track meet, so I “panic” purchased another one. Well, I ended up finding my original one, but I decided to keep this one because apparently I need a back up! This is the third Simple Modern tumbler I’ve owned in about three years, and I love them. I had a purple one that I lost, so then I purchased a green one. Now, I have the green one and this almond colored one.

I’m always looking for practical spring/summer heels, and I can’t remember who shared these, but I quickly added them to my cart. I wore them yesterday for Easter, and they were so comfy. (I did size up half a size)

I’ve only recently started using face towels to dry my face after washing it in the morning. I originally picked up a box at TJ Maxx (the check out line gets me almost every time!), and when it ran out, I found these on Amazon. They’ve worked out perfectly, and I like how the lid closes shut securely.

So, those were my purchases this month! What’s your latest Amazon purchase?

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? We were still busy, but the kids didn’t have any games, so at least we weren’t setting any early alarms. The weather was beautiful this weekend, and it truly felt like spring.

Did you catch my weekend posts? I had a Share 4 Somethings post on Saturday and then a Hello, March one on Sunday.

Today, I’m sharing my February Amazon purchases.

As I shared in Saturday’s post, my first two purchases are some of my fave new things.

I needed new erasers for my dry erase board at school and stumbled upon these magnetic ones! They are legit! They erase the dry erase marker easily and really stick to the board.

Shay shared this silicone mat that also has a pouch for packing your hair tools. I’ve used it twice now, and it’s perfect for packing, but then also for setting my curling iron on while doing my hair in the hotel bathroom. It comes in lots of fun colors, and would be perfect for a teen’s Easter basket.

So, over break, I cleaned out my closet and got rid of quite a few t-shirts. One thing I’m lacking is casual long sleeve t-shirts, and this one has been the perfect addition to my closet. When I ordered it, I wasn’t sure if I’d wear it with leggings or not. While I can, I do think it will be more of a shirt I wear with jeans, pants, or shorts. I love the slouchy fit, the side slits, and the price! It comes in lots of colorways. Just this weekend, I wore it with my cheetah barrel jeans, and it was perfect.

Speaking of t-shirts, I have this one in light purple, and I was missing a navy t-shirt from my rotation. So, I just ordered it again in navy. It’s the perfect shirt to sleep in, wear with leggings, front tuck, etc.

Speaking of shirts, Hayden needed a blue compression shirt, so I ordered him this one. It’s just what he needed.

I’ve mentioned before that I asked for two of these Sherpa blankets (in beige) to replace the blankets we have on our living room ottomans. Well, Hadley keeps taking one to use for herself, so I ordered her a white one as one of her Valentine’s Day presents. This blanket comes in a variety of sizes and colors, but we have the 50×60 ones, and they are perfect throws.

…and speaking of blankets…when we redid Hadley’s room two years ago, I got her a quilt from Home Goods to go under her comforter. It held up ok, but it’s been pilling more and more, so I used a gift card to order her this coverlet, and I’m pleased with it. It’s lightweight, so soft, and I ordered it because I liked the ruffle detail. It’s just what she needs for an updated quilt for under her comforter. She loves layers of bedding!

I’ve seen people share the Medicube brand, so I wanted to try an overnight collagen mask. I’ve used this a few times and gotten the hang of it with each time. In the morning, you peel off the mask, so I’ve found putting a thicker layer of product on helps the peel off go easier. My skin really has had a nice glow to it after using it.

What have you “Primed” lately?

Hello and happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Honestly, ours was much like our week…pretty low-key thanks to cold weather and poor road conditions. We all did get out and about, so I guess it was still a typical weekend with errands, time at home and more.

Our impromptu break continues as we have yet another snow day today. So many of our secondary roads are still ice and snow packed. It’s just crazy, and now I’m really starting to worry how much this is going to eat into our summer break. Ugh.

Did you catch my weekend posts? I wrote a Share 4 Somethings post on Saturday and Hello, February post on Sunday.

Today, I’m sharing my Amazon purchases from the month. We bought a little bit of everything.

I purchased these grippy socks to use for Pilates. I hate having hot feet and wearing socks, but in the winter, that’s a different story. This set has worked out perfectly.

I was “influenced” by @betterwithchardonnay when she shared these fun barrel pants. I’d been wanting to try the barrel style and figured these would be easy to try and then return if needed. Anyway, I love them, and the teens have dished out compliments the couple of times I’ve worn them to school.

I wanted a “nicer” winter coat, and this hooded wool trench coat has been the perfect fit.

I’ve worn it to school but then also more casually on the weekends or running errands.

(fave leggings here too!)

I needed more eye masks, and these are the ones I use most mornings.

Hadley got a couple of these face masks for Christmas, and I wanted to try one, so I ordered this four pack. I’ve used them a couple of times and have slept in them. I do feel like my skin feels refreshed in the morning.

This is my second time buying this hydration mist, and it’s just another part of my skin care routine. I usually use it after I apply my toner or any time I feel like my face is thirsty!

Hadley needed some new socks for her volleyball club season, and these Adidas ones were just what she needed.

These slippers were a belated Christmas gift for Trav. He suggested slippers as a gift idea, but I wasn’t exactly sure what he wanted. These arrived, and they’ve been perfect for him to slip on to take out the trash, let Homer out, use around the house and more.

My quest to refresh a few areas continues. I’ve loved the Euro pillows we’ve had on our bed for almost six years. I’ve washed the pillow covers many times, and they’ve held up nicely. That being said, I wanted a more neutral color and something with texture, and these pillow covers were exactly what I was looking for.

I guess I need to iron them (maybe I’ll get to that today), but I really do love them. Actually, after a few days, the wrinkles have started to take care of themselves…but I’ll still give them a little iron/steam.

*update* I ironed the slip covers!

That’s a wrap on my January purchases.

Hello and happy Monday!

Did you hear that? It’s the sound of my alarm going off…and back to reality. All good things must come to an end!

Did you catch post weekend posts? (I kicked off “Bloganuary” by sharing posts on Saturday and Sunday)

It’s the first Monday of the month, so I’m sharing some of my recent Amazon purchases.

This is a bit of a “super-sized” post since I bought a few gifts on Amazon, and a few were purchased in November.

Gifts:

As I shared in yesterday’s post, my family members usually end up with one pretty practical gift from me, and I got Trav this hat organizer. This set of two is stackable, but he is using one, and I’m now using the other one!

Hayden usually just throws his golf shoes in the car when we go out of town, and I thought this bag would be the perfect solution. Besides holding the shoes, there are spots to hold golf balls and golf tees too.

On Hadley’s wish list was a sunrise alarm clock. The original one she asked for didn’t have a sound machine, so we returned it for this option. So far, it’s Hadley approved, but the true test will come tomorrow when she can use the sunrise feature to wake up at 6:45!!

Hadley has limited storage for her curling iron, beach waver, straightener, etc, so I got her this travel bag for her to use to hold the items she’s not using, but she can also use it for travel.

I put this pack of solid cologne in Hayden’s stocking. I thought it would be a good way to introduce him to cologne without him spraying too much! haha

All four smell really good!

I’ve seen these tissue tubes for the car, so I gave one to my Grandma. I plan on getting one for the kids when they get a car too.

Hadley:

Hadley was looking for an outfit to wear for Christmas Eve service. While she does have lots of clothes, most of them are leggings, sweatshirts, and summer dresses.

This satin skirt was perfect….

As was this cute bow sweater.

Me:

As I’ve shared previously, I found this ornament kit at World Market. There are six patterns, but three ornaments. I found the same kit on Amazon, so I can complete the other three patterns. I only have one more to go. These have been so fun to do.

I enjoyed doing the daily word search last year. Trav and the kids found me the 2025 daily word search at a local bookstore. That same bookstore didn’t seem to have one for 2026, so I purchased this one. I’m off to a good start with it!

I got this cardigan in red last December, and I wore it quite a bit. I knew I’d wear a more neutral color even more, so I purchased it again in the “camel” color. I’ve already worn it so much in the past month to school and even with leggings after a workout or to run errands. I sized down one and it’s the perfect over-sized fit without being too baggy.

Refresh:

I gave up years ago having nicer pillows on our living room couch. Homer hops of there, so I found that having washable slipcover pillows is the way to go. I wash them occasionally, but I also like to replace them about once a year. For under $10, I figure that’s a pretty good deal.

I had a few things to wash, including my nylon crossbody purse, so I picked up a pack of mesh laundry bags to use. They worked out perfectly for washing my purse.

Restock:

I still like using this half-caff coffee and typically order a bag once a month. I use decaf pods too, but this does the trick for my morning pot of coffee that I make for Trav and me.

Well, it’s time to head back to work…and I’ve told myself that I could wait until Monday to regroup on all the things…so it’s time to pay the piper!

Hello and happy December 1st! It’s hard to believe we only have one month left in 2025!

Did you catch my post yesterday? I took a look back on the month of November and all the fun we had. I’ve enjoyed writing these Monthly Moments posts this year, and I think I’ll continue in 2026 too.

Well, this Prime Purchases post is timely since it’s Cyber Monday…did you get any great Black Friday deals? I purchased a few things, and today I hope to buy a couple of things I know the kids want. After that, I’ll let a few days pass and regroup a bit. Anyway, here are my Prime Purchases over the past month.

This month I had a few more purchases than usual…some Christmas purchases, birthday purchases, re-orders, and a few things for me.

I’ve been wanting to have more neutral holiday decor the past few years, but I don’t want to purchase all new things. So, I just figured I could transition a few items as the years go on, and I thought this little set of trees would be perfect for the trunk in our living room.

I love this cozy spot!

I’ve had the same bags for pillow storage for quite a few years, and one of the zippers broke. So, I bought a two pack of these, and they are great! I like that they are more horizontal than vertical, and they are easy to carry.

I’ve had these LED tree candles saved on an Amazon list for quite some time. After I put out my regular Christmas decor, I wanted to add one more festive touch.

One of them looks great here in a candlestick made by my great great grandfather, and I have another one on the table at the end of the hall with a few trees and nativity scene.

I needed a new key chain for my car keys. I’ve been using the dealer key chain since August, and I wanted something easy for me to grab in my purse. This one is colorful, cute and does the job!

I’ve already shared that I was influenced by Sarah, and I love these jeans. I’ve already worn them a few times, and the cut and length are what I like the most about them…and they are stretchy!

I typically wear leggings, but I wanted a pair of athleisure pants that are more wide leg for the colder months. The fabric is so soft, they have pockets, and they are really comfy…I can also get away with wearing them to school!

I have these shoes in three colors now. My leopard Walmart pair that I’ve had for years needed to be tossed, so I turned to my favorite pair to pick up the leopard pattern. These shoes are affordable and comfortable, and they are my “go to” pair of shoes in the winter.

This is my second time ordering this 3D Lifting Cream, and I took advantage of the Black Friday sale. It’s now a part of my evening skincare routine. I can feel it working and the scent is so nice. Again, like with all skincare, I’m sure I’m not turning back the hands of time, but it’s a nice addition to my moisturizer.

Hadley has this zip up, and I just recently cleaned out the hall closet and donated a couple of really old hooded sweatshirts of mine. I just wanted something basic to toss on to run errands or go to the gym, so I ordered myself this gray hooded sweatshirt on Black Friday.

We had a few other random purchases like the numbers for Hadley’s party…

…as well as my favorite half-caff coffee and Vitamin D serum, and even this Carhartt zip up sweatshirt for my dad. (It’s a gift, but he already opened it!…if you need a gift idea, it’s a good one!)

Anyway, it’s time for me to make a list and check it twice for the holidays. I know Cyber Monday can be overwhelming, but I do hope to snag a few gifts today…and if I have time, I will share some sales in Insta stories!
