Monica’s Recommendations
-
Pumiey Body Suits
I have 5 of these in 3 different styles. These are buttery soft, super comfortable, and do not pill. Such a great price, and available in every color!
-
Compression Packing Cubes
Great for space maximizing and organization when traveling.
-
St. Tropez Self Tanning (Express)
I've tried all the tanners and always come back to St. Tropez. The tan feels more natural, it dries extremely quickly, and the smell is almost non-existant. Grab the applicator mitt (also linked)
-
Tanning Applicator Mitt
Helps evenly apply my favorite self tanner (also recommended)!
-
Ember Mug
There is nothing better than coming back to HOT coffee after forgetting your mug somewhere amongst the morning chaos. This is worth every penny and I enjoy hot coffee hours after it is brewed.
-
Picasso Tiles
This is a great cheaper alternative to magna tiles and I have multiple sets that my kids enjoy.
-
A Little Spot Books - Anxiety
I love all of these books, but this one in particular I found helpful when having conversations about anxiety with children
-
A Little Spot Books - Love
This is a sweet book about different love languages and a guide on ways to express love.

Zarbees Childrens Melatonin
If you haven't drugged your kids yet, may I suggest the Zarbees Melatonin? A must-have for vacations or tough sleep nights.
-
Who Would Win? Children's Book Box Set
My son is obsessed with these action packed books. Each books plots two dangerous animals against each other and determines a winner based on the animal's speed, skills, anatomy, etc.
-
Kids Cleat Lace Protectors
Are your kids laces coming untied constantly on the field? We purchased these bands for all players on our soccer team and have had no more sideline shoetie situations. Great for all ages.

Solar LED Camping Lantern
This packs down flat and inflates when ready to use. It brings a lot of light and lasts up to 24 hours when turned on. We use this on every camping trip.
