May Must Haves

Top 5 favorite things for the month of May:

Mama, 3-year-old, and 1-year-old

I only share favorite things once a month and they are always things we are genuinely obsessed with. Never sponsored, not ads, just things we use, love, and want to share. I may earn a small commission from some of the Amazon Affiliate links (and thank you for supporting this mama!). So here they are, our Top 5 Must Haves Products of May:

MAMA

Hatch Restore – Sleep – that most elusive dream of motherhood. When I lay down to sleep, I’m doing EVERYTHING I can to get some quality rest, and this Hatch Restore is a game-changer. Both my kids have a Hatch Rest+ and I just absolutely fell in love with them, so I had to get one for myself. The white noise has magical properties, I swear.
Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask – This stuff really is a dream. So hydrating and lovely, I wake up with glowing skin that is never greasy.
Natural Vitality Calm Gummies – Um… am I obsessed with getting to sleep? (Well, I am a mom so, yeah). My OBGYN first recommended these to me when I was having horrible migraines during pregnancy and they are the only thing that helped. Since then my husband and I both make them part of our nightly routines. Sleep comes easier and lasts longer with these little wonders. (PS – it also comes in a powdered drink mix, we have used and loved both versions.)
La Colombe Oatmilk Draft Latte – Let’s switch gears from sleep to… waking up from sleep. This is delicious and such a treat!
Lumify eye drops – This is a daily MUST for me. No matter how little I sleep, how red my eyes are, this stuff removes all evidence. Like, almost halloween-level eye whiteness. It’s a miracle. Sleepless moms, allergy sufferers – no one has to know.

3-YEAR-OLD

Melissa & Doug Stencils – my daughter plays with these (quietly by herself) every single day. Maybe I should add them to my favorite things, too?
Bluey – if your kid isn’t watching Bluey yet… get on it. It’s on Disney+ and is the only kids show I will sit and watch with her. It’s a joy, it really is.
Ben Clanton’s Narwhal and Jelly books – Graphic novels for kids, these are adorable and funny and we love reading them together before bed.
Peter Rabbit Organics Banana, Mango & Orange Pouches – Say what you will about pouches… I’m a fan. And although my 3-year-old is pretty much over them, this is the only one she’ll eat. We buy out our local stores she loves them so much. (And yes, we also subscribe & save on Amazon).
The Nugget – Ohhhhh nugget, how we love you. We have 2 in our living room, and yes, they’re obtrusive, but also… I want a third. My kids are OBSESSED. They climb and jump and build daily, I’m not kidding… daily… and we’ve had them for 2 years. We’ve tried other (cheaper) versions and they are just not the same. Every home needs a nugget – watch a kid play on it for 10 minutes and you’ll agree.

1-YEAR-OLD

Bitty Brah Hat – The only hat that will stay on his had and omg is it adorable.
Bamba Peanut Butter Puffs – These were recommended by our pediatric allergist to get him exposed to peanut butter and boy did they do the trick. He would eat them all day if he could.
Peekaboo Sun books – he was never much of a reader until we tried out these books. They are so great – and much sturdier than lift-the-flap books so we don’t accidentally rip them.
Baby Crocs – I mean, c’mon. So cute. They stay on his feet, they’re easy to put on, and we love to decorate them with jibitz.
The Nugget – Yes, its on my list twice. Because BOTH of my kids are obsessed with it. You can’t understand it until you see it in action.
