July Amazon Purchases: What I Bought This Month
How is July almost over? My July Amazon purchases were pretty heavy on cleaning and organization (I am me, after all). Add in a few beach essentials, cuticle care, and trucks — lots of trucks! I bought a few fun activities for the kids, and some essentials for the house. And we cannot forget the best and most practical purchase that I’ve ever made. I cannot believe I waited so long to purchase a nugget ice machine when I had wanted one for so long. It’s something I’ve used every single day since I got it.
July Amazon Purchases: What I Bought This Month
I bought more than I realized this month, but I got deep into organizing and cleaning. There were a few Prime Day purchases in there, too. And it was a hot and sort of rainy month, and when a new truck keeps your very busy toddler son busy and you know you’re about to be short on childcare (again) you buy the truck. Here’s what I bought on Amazon this month.
Nugget Ice Machine
I bought this during the Prime Day sale after wanting one for years and I cannot recommend it enough. It works really well, and has leveled up every cold drink I've poured myself since.

Silicone Cable Clips
I've purchased these before but needed to hide a few more cords around the house. This set was on sale, and they're great.

Active
Grout Cleaner
Our shower grout was looking really orange, so I did a little research, bought this stuff, and it is MAGIC. You do have to trace it over all your grout but there's zero scrubbing. Let it sit and all the stains just disappear within a few hours.

Google Speaker
We have a few nest cams, doorbells, and a google hub in the kitchen, but needed another speaker for our family room. I'm really happy with this one, and it's nice being able to play music in there now since it connects to Spotify.

Stanley
Tumbler with Handle
I bought this to throw in my bag since I can't always carry a classic tumbler with three kids, and I loved it for almost a week until we left it at the park.
Shop now
The Pink Stuff
I purchased my 4th tub of the pink stuff, and it's total magic. I use it to get pen and marker off of the kids' play table and it works better than anything else I've tried.

Cooler Shock
Freezer Ice Packs
Our cooler didn't stay cold enough at the beach because I had the saddest little ice packs so I ordered these.
Shop now
Dock and Bay
Compact Beach Towels
These aren't big, fluffy beach towels, but they work well and take up very little space, so they are the only way to bring towels to the beach, especially as a family of 5.

Apple Watch Charging Dock
Apple watches should really come with one of these but for some reason they do not, and I was tired of my watch falling off my nightstand. This did the trick!

Cable Management Box
We had this pile of cords behind a chair in our family room but only one person in this family seemed to care, so I did something about it.

Lego Storage Bags
Our lego storage situation was disaster. We had them on a shelf in the girls' closet and everything was so mixed up, so I organized their sets into a mix of these bags in the small and large sizes, and it's so nice having a little pocket for instructions. Just don't forget to tell your kids to take out one bag at a time like I did. Oops.

Ever Eden
Baby Lip Balm
My daughter's lips have been really dry and I like this clean kids skincare line a lot. This works so well.

Bee Naturals
Cuticle Oil
My cuticles have been horrible, so I now keep the jar in my bathroom and stick with me, and apply twice a day, and have seen a huge difference in just a week!

Badger
Cuticle Balm
My nail technician recommended putting a balm over the oil at night, and my cuticles really do look 90% better than they did. All the gross, peeling skin is basically gone.

Kitsch
Continuous Spray Bottle
I bought this to style the kids' hair in the morning. Just fill it with water and get their hair a little wet to make brushing and styling easier. I really like the soft, continuous mist.
Shop now
Beach Blanket
We had a fun day at the beach with the girls but realized we needed a much larger beach blanket, so I ordered this one.
Shop now
River Rocks for Painting
You're either going to think this is the best or worst purchase ever, but my kids love painting rocks, and it's hard to find perfectly flat rocks to paint. So I literally bought rocks, and they were so happy.
Shop now
Melissa and Doug
Drink Dispenser
I need to stop taking my kids to friends' houses. They always play with this when we go to our friend's house and it's one of those toys you think they'd tire of but they really don't, and it was so painfully hot outside that I caved.
Shop now
Mini Sand Castle Molds
I actually bought this for our kinetic sand since these are pretty small, but they'd be fun for making smaller sand castles at the beach, too.
Shop now
Rotating Bubble Machine
This little thing is powerful and has an optional rotate feature, so our entire patio and yard are covered in bubbles. I also like that it's rechargeable and doesn't need batteries.

Jr. Track
Kids' Smart Watch
I bought this for Margot for her birthday, and it's now 50% off. I love how safe it is to use (message approved contacts only). It's been a nice way for her to get to talk to her aunts and grandparents, and message me when we aren't together, which is why I bought it. You control what apps and games are on it (I added zero) - and she only gets to use it when we aren't home, or can earn a little time to make calls at night.

Reduce
Insulated Kids Tumbler
A friend came over with these and I bought them almost immediately. My kids were using them nonstop, so I bought three more. It's also really nice to have extras when friends come over, too.
Shop now
Little Blue Truck and Racer Red
Jack loves the Little Blue Truck books (they are so sweet) and I didn't realize I missed one, so I bought this and it might be his favorite since the race car is red like McQueen.

Maxx Action
Garbage Truck
My friend had this at her house and Jack LOVED it. I looked it up and it was on sale, and I ended up buying a few more trucks from this brand because they're priced so well.

Maxx Action
Dump Truck
I snagged this one because it was 53% off, but gave it to Jack because he has very few trucks and I'll do anything to keep him busy.

Maxx Action
Mini Trucks
This was on sale, too, and these inertia trucks are under $4 each. I basically had to buy them (and he's a huge fan!).

Just Play
Slinky Dog
We had our old slinky dog since Margot was 3 or 4 and it broke in half. Jack is on a big Toy Story kick so I replaced it with this one.
Shop now
Disney
Buzz Lightyear
Somehow, our Buzz broke this month, too, so he had to be replaced because Buzz is Jack's favorite character and his wings not closing may have been the worst thing to ever happen to him.

My Breast Reduction and Lift
I went from a D to a G (DDDD) and felt so uncomfortable in my own body.
