My Top 10 Most-Used Amazon Purchases of 2020

I love rounding up my most-used Amazon purchases for you guys every year!

Plus, it’s so fun to look back and see what we actually found the most useful! Here’s what’s at the top of the list for 2020:

VTech Audio Baby Monitor – Our video monitors stopped working on us. And instead of paying a little more money… we went with these babies and haven’t looked back. I highly, highly recommend! They’re like little walkie talkies – small but very powerful in terms of picking up sound.

KIDS’ PJS – These pjs are just the softest things in the entire world! Definitely comparable to Kyte Baby and for waaaay less. The girls look SO cute in them and they come in TONS of colors for boys and girls. We love them & I’ll continue to buy them for years to come!

Muslin Sleepsack -This made the list because we used it every single night during the spring and summer with Ellie. We have loved sleepsacks for both of our girls and have even turned the sleepsack inside out so once they learn how to unzip it, they can’t anymore 🙂 This one in particular is so soft.

Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning – Oh, our favorite seasoning, EVER! We throw this stuff on vegetables, meat, eggs, etc.! It’s soooo good you guys! I realize it is a bit cheaper but we’ve calculated with gas costs and everything to actually get to a Trader Joe’s, the Amazon route is worth it.

Poster Frames Set – I love that these come with matting! We used these primarily to hang sports prints in our basement redo… but I also have used them in the girls’ playroom with printable art, too!

Replacement Remote – This is such a joke that this even made the list… but it’s true! We use this thing all the time. Disclosure: We have two remotes to our TV. The girls hide the remote or we actually can’t find it because we are multitasking usually when pulling up a show for the girls. Anyways, second remote. Life changing!

Bathroom Faucet – We updated our guest bathroom this summer and I can’t believe how great the quality is of this brushed gold faucet! It was a classic update on a budget! 🙂

Burt’s Bees Baby Shampoo & Wash – This, hands down, is our favorite shampoo/body wash for the girls. I also love their lotion. It’s all about the smell for me…. and this just reminds me of my girls!

Wooden Step Stool – We have two of these and use them in the girls’ bathroom because the counter is too high for them to reach the faucets. They also don’t hesitate to use them in their rooms to reach things they shouldn’t if I’m not watching! But… they are super handy, useful, and used daily around here! We have the natural finish and I’ve painted one of them pink. They come in a few different colors, too.

Kids’ Goggles – Ava used these every day this summer at the pool! They fit so well and will grow with her, too.

1.) All you need is $25 to start or add to your Ohio's 529 plan.
2.) Your Ohio's 529 plan be used NATIONWIDE - not just for Ohio schools.
3.) Your Ohio's 529 doesn't just cover tuition - you can use it on any qualified expense, like room & board, books, computers, internet services, mandatory fees and MUCH more.
4.) 529 plans aren't just for 4-year colleges. Ohio's 529 can be used at ANY type of school - whether that's a 4-year college, trade and tech schools, certificate programs, apprenticeships and more.
5.) There are SO many tax benefits - ALL earnings, including interest, grow tax-free, 529 plan withdrawals are tax-free when used for qualified higher education expenses, and you can deduct your contributions from their Ohio taxable income, up to $4K per year, per beneficiary.
