Amazon Prime Day

I love Amazon. A LOT. I get why some people don't. But this family is a HUGE fan. I have frequently talked with families from different generations and mannnn if I had to be a Mom back when my Mom was a mom, well that would have been a lot more chaotic. I picture her dragging 3 kids to five different stores to buy showering liners, dog food and bananas. I love ordering items straight to the house. It's just the best. Anyway..... point: Amazon helps our family function with additional ease. From dog supplements to bulk order doorknobs. We utilize it for everyday items. But we especially relied on it during the renovation and preparation to move! A lot was directly sent to the renovation house, and returned if it just wasn't the right fit. It was a huge help in time and money! So Amazon rocks in my book.

And not only for our own the household needs, but I'm a gal who's love language is 100000% GIFTS. Ok fine... it's 40% according to the online test. And in case you've never read the book or taken the test- do it now.

Amazon lets me send gifts to friends and family everywhere! Heck, just yesterday I sent a friend a "Feel Better Soon" package with all kinds goodies AND it arrived the same day. I mean, way to make me look like a hero and brighten someone's day.

And if you still aren't feeling Amazon, well they also hire and provide communication access freely to its Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing employees. No just when it's easy, but all the time! Heck yeah Amazon!

So since the move, we have needed a lot of stuff. I feel like a shopping machine. Luckily 4th of July sales are here AND Amazon Prime Days (July 11-12th)! So are you curious what we like/will buy this Prime Season? I am happy to share..... BUT in return I'm dying to know what you all buy too! Recommendations are the way to go in my book. So let's exchange. Me first....

Let's shop my random recommended list of things I'll be buying or have already bought:

1) Dog Supplements. Since our Murph's brain tumor diagnosis, we have been on a protocol from both his oncologist/neurologist and holistic vet. Murph's kicking butt, so we will keep the natural supplements (and vet prescribed meds) going: https://amzn.to/3O2z0zj and https://amzn.to/46xCdOq and https://amzn.to/46Cm0Yo and https://amzn.to/3rjfJjW and https://amzn.to/43i8xBT

2) Making meals for friends, or myself... I use these. But you already knew that: https://amzn.to/44aRCCN

3) When you wake up at 3am and love some caffeine... I drink one of these most mornings instead of a cup of coffee: https://amzn.to/43dn95y

4) Socks. Because we all need them. And not just for Father's Day: https://amzn.to/3NFG1Ex and https://amzn.to/43f172t

5) Ridiculously long phone chargers all over the house. Yeah, we are those people. And somehow we need more for this new house. https://amzn.to/3pCNfkY

6) Phone stand. I need one in every room because I never know where I put it. A personal problem I know but now I don't have to worry.... or share: https://amzn.to/44tTExn

7) Because every time I make homemade ice cream, someone asks how. Just buy this machine and explore the endless possibilities. This is our Current Ice Cream Machine: https://amzn.to/3JvTGg8 and this cookbook.... it wont be a signed copy like I have (thanks Isaac) but the ideas in here are epic: https://amzn.to/3NyUyBS

8) Fleece Pants because I'm always cold: https://amzn.to/3O2zfdH

9) These cookbooks.... because I gift it to friends often. Easy Cooking Recipes: https://amzn.to/3XDUxS0 and https://amzn.to/46BetZP

10) So make sure you have a instant pot too: https://amzn.to/46EhHLX

11) For the gym. Now I can cast the Peloton App or YouTube or just lay on the bench and watch Avatar: https://amzn.to/44xUNnF

11 1/2) A mini fridge and a small fridge. Great for Dad's who need a non-kosher space for homemade ice cream or beer (in Jeff's case) andddd perfect for a baby bedroom for nighttime feedings: https://amzn.to/3XO0qvV and https://amzn.to/3PHVIxT

Things I'm Eyeing:

12) Pizza Oven. Will it be on sale cheap enough for me to justify, probably not. But maybe: https://amzn.to/44hvbLM

13) Bench for Bedroom. Does anyone else have one of these? Feels necessary to be an adult in an adult bedroom. Maybe not: https://amzn.to/3PvHtvS

14) Rugs. Who knew rugs and blinds were expensive? #thingsIlearnedat40 so Amazon's got deals: https://amzn.to/3pvikqr https://amzn.to/3O49wBC https://amzn.to/3XEQeWx

15) Plates for the home gym: https://amzn.to/44bssny

16) Digitizer for old film photos. And we found a lot at the house. Anyone else ever use one? https://amzn.to/3NwpaUM

17) Because you're not an adult until you have several TYPES of vacuums. Stick Vacuum: https://amzn.to/3D0kmlC and ugh this is tempting to want to buy too: https://amzn.to/3PL4tqI

18) Ring Doorbells: https://amzn.to/3NFwjlG & https://amzn.to/3JMPwB0

19) A fancy standing desk because now I have my OWN office- https://amzn.to/3CZzYpz

20) The neighbors had one of these and now my brain thinks we need one too:

https://amzn.to/43hYGMB or https://amzn.to/3JMo5He

Baby Stuff to Buy Because it's Prime Days Savings:

21) Tripp Trap High Chair. Worth every penny and about 50 friends on Facebook said the same. They were not wrong: https://amzn.to/440W3Qj

22) A good car seat. My bestie recommended this one. We like it: https://amzn.to/3ppmU9L

23) But we also kind of wish we had gone crazy and bought this one: https://amzn.to/3CMS0Lt

24) Hatch Sounds Machine: https://amzn.to/3XtRCet and get the travel one too: https://amzn.to/3XG5RwN

25) For my NICU babies. This helped us sleep better. Although it is JUST a tool. Not a fail safe: https://amzn.to/3CQh9F8

26) FINALLY able to use my rocker. It's been at the new house since the 1st time we thought we were moving in September. I'm obsessed: https://amzn.to/3pEqhtE

27) Thanks to my boo Zara, I'll never use anything else: https://amzn.to/3pCQw3D

Lastly, Some of the items we bough during the renovation. No idea if they are on sale. But we'd buy them all again full price. Because even at full price they were cheaper than the box stores.
