Last week my four year old started calling me “mom”. Not mama, not mommy, but M-O-M. Insert a million crying face emjois here… I swear she is four going on fourteen. Anyways, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorite mommy things (I am holding onto “mommy”). A few products that make me feel like I somewhat have my sh*t together…
- Diaper Bag – To be honest, this is more for my style then my kids. I remember when my first was born I was so sad to give up my cute, but totally unpractical, bags. Babies need a lot of stuff and I like to be prepared. I needed a bag to hold all the thingssss!!! My husband surprised me with this Marc Jacobs bag. It’s the best!! I’ve used it every single day for over four years and it still looks great. It matches every outfit and I feel a little more fancy since it’s designer. I know it is a bit of a splurge, but for the amount of time I’ve used it and the quality, I think it’s worth it!
- Trucker Hats and Dry Shampoo – I’m grouping these two together cause they solve the same issue.. I don’t have time to style let alone wash my hair everyday. It’s much quicker to just cover it up haha! I love throwing on a cute trucker hat with a pony tail or braid. If I’m going to be inside that day or a hat is inappropriate, then I load up on the dry shampoo. These two are lifesavers for moms in a hurry!
- Dr. Brandt No More Baggage – This is magic in a tube. Any mama or #girlboss that doesn’t get a lot of sleep, this was made for you! It minimizes dark circles and under eye bags with visible results right away. Between my full time job, mom life, and blogging, I’ve used my fair share of this! Right now it’s 50% off with code INFLUENSTER50. (This is not sponsored or an affiliate code, just trying to help you save some money :))
- IT Cosmetics CC cream – This is my everyday “no make-up” makeup. Perfect for school drop off, running around at the park, or hanging at the beach. It takes me under a minute to apply it in the morning and makes me feel so much better about my face! It offers great coverage, hydrates, and has SPF 50+. Sometimes a full coverage foundation is too much, this CC cream is perfect for everyday with the kids.
- Roomba – I overheard my husband talking to his friend the other day about getting a Roomba. His exact words were “get one, it saved our marriage”.. haha! This might be a little bit dramatic, but you know what? He is kinda right! Along with two messy toddlers we have two dogs who shed like crazy. Some of our biggest arguments come from the anxiety of a messy house. We have our Roomba programmed to automatically vacuum our house once a day. It is so nice to not even have to think about it and I feel prepared for unexpected house guests (the worst!) Don’t know how I ever lived without this little guy.
6. Mama necklace – I know I said 5 things but I couldn’t leave this necklace out. I just love it so much and I feel so proud to wear it! I saw a similar ring the other day and will definitely be buying that next!
What are a few of your must have mommy things?
