We're just running on a quarterly system these days.
This is a toddler sleep sack that would've worked wonderfully for toddler Wells. Toddler Sutton hates it, so I don't think I ever even got it on her. But these giant Ziplock totes are perfect for storing baby clothes and toys and going under beds. The sleep sack is already in one.
We got this highback booster for Wells in our extra vehicle since he's outgrown our extra carseat. File under things I'll never understand: why do some carseats and boosters cost $487 and some cost $60? Why are some systems $900-1200 while some are $150? WHY? (we also finally threw away our infant seat system which has definitely served us well for 6 years...I don't know why it makes me so sad to throw it away. It's expired. It can never be used again, so it's not like we can
The phone case was an impulse buy. I like Speck a lot but it was $13, not $25. I don't know, guys: I've had two really great phone cases in my life: one bought at Fred Meyer for an iPhone 4 and one bought at Walmart for an iPhone 8. I've been chasing that high ever since.
For Valentine's Day...
New pajamas for both kids. I like these a lot. They weren't impressed with my pink and red color scheme.
The Daniel Tiger Colorforms was more trouble than it was worth for an almost 2 year old. Maybe for a 4 year old they'd be better.
The Lego set brought a lot of joy though, per usual.
The dino book and
stuffy was for a 2 year old's birthday. Lambs & Ivy is a nice brand if you're looking on Amazon.
The beads were for a school friendship bracelet group.
And more pacifiers obviously. Buying just the replacements is a great hack, instead of a whole new stuffy + paci.
This undated planner is actually very nice. For $20, it's the EC brand but you can customize it any way you want.
In so many moves/houses, we've lost and found and re-lost and broke many a measuring spoon.
This set is really nice because it has two styles of spoon (round and oval) and they stick together in the drawer.
Our 13 year old crockpot finally died this past fall (the stoneware cracked). Scott ordered
this one and I like it a lot.
A children's biography of Einstein that I used for school. It was a coincidence that I read this right before we watched Oppenheimer over spring break and it all made so much sense when I saw Einstein's role in the movie.
Water bottle for Sutton. Thee are my favorite water bottles for kids. They last forever.
We probably won't be buying more Pokemon "legos". This isn't the actual Lego brand but I've learned that Pokemon "legos" only come from this company and they are not as high-quality as actual Legos. We didn't have issues with the two sets we got last year for Wells' birthday but this one, from Easter, caused some frustration; the blocks don't easily snap and stay together.
This party in a box. I think it was kind of a waste of money but I really wanted the decorations/plates/cups. I did not need the wooden 'plastic'ware and paper cups.
It's like they know you can't find Daniel Tiger decor just anywhere so they mark up the price.
I got these
sharpeners for school. It was a bargain and they are pretty high-quality for the price.
A
thundershirt that doesn't work :) I think it's a dog problem, not a product problem.
Always have to have
Resolve on hand with small children around.
Our
food scale was also on it's last leg. The buttons had fallen off awhile ago. I believe Scott originally bought it in Afghanistan (Amazon delivers everywhere!) and used it to make dough and bread there.
But I noticed the measurements where way off when I was making sourdough. This new one works perfectly.
These
dish brushes are so much better than the plastic ones with sponges. I also run it through the dishwasher once a week or so.
We did not have a
Dutch oven. I got this, originally, for sourdough before I realized I preferred a loaf pan for bread. But it looks really high-end so I think I'll use it for a lot of things.
