I have such a complicated relationship with Amazon these days… I don’t agree with many of their practices as a company (not to mention their founder’s behavior), but in this crazy economy I also believe that people deserve to have good quality products and to save some money when purchasing them.
That said, I fully understand if you prefer to skip this post — keep fighting The Good Fight with your boycott!
If you’d like to purchase an item or two at discounted prices, the Amazon Big Spring Sale runs from March 25-March 31 so you have a few days to make your selection(s).

I just created a section in my ShopMy storefront that I will continue to keeping updated with my picks for these deals, but thought I would also create a blog post with a tiny bit more detail about each product I’m sharing.
GENERAL HOME
SAMSUNG FRAME TV
We have three of the 65″ inch size Frame tvs (one in our bedroom, one in the living room and one in the playroom) and I can’t say enough good things about these devices — we love them! I’m a little disappointed about the discount during this event as it seems quite low, but in this economy any savings is worth having.
If you’re interested in taking your purchase a step further, depending on your home decor, this company makes amazing accessories to make your tv look even more like art by adding a more traditional looking frame to the edge of your tv which makes it blend even more seamlessly into your decor!
*Note that these accessories are not included in the Prime Day Sale, but I wanted to share anyway.

PELOTON BIKE+
We have been big fans of Peloton since 2020 — we took the plunge and bought one while under quarantine and have never looked back. We absolutely love our Bike+ and would recommend it to anyone. You can read more about our [honest] experiences with Peloton here.
We’ve been seriously considering adding the Tread to our home gym and this discounted price is super enticing…
…
HOME MAINTENANCE
DYSON CORDLESS VACUUM
We are Dyson product stans in this family — this cordless vacuum has been a gamechanger for us. If you’ve been here for a while, you know we used to have the Dyson upright vacuum and we loved it for just about ten years! But now we have a lot more house (with a lot more stairs) so it just wasn’t the best option for our current lifestyle. I especially love that I can easily carry this cordless model up and down the stairs and that we don’t need a separate hand vac for smaller jobs — just swap out the attachment!
…
TINECO STEAM MOP
We have only ever had Swiffer WetJet mops in the past so investing in this steam mop device was a major upgrade for us and is a MUST for [hard] floor cleaning. The dirty water is also sooo satisfying to dump out! 🤭
…
LEVOIT ROOM AIR PURIFIER
Having an air purifier for our home to eliminate wildfire smoke is a no-brainer these days since we’ve been battling brutal forest fires on the West Coast during the past few years. We specifically use this one in the girls’ bedrooms and then will move one to the playroom during the day which gives us so much peace of mind when we’re stuck indoors.
…
KITCHEN GADGETS
VITAMIX BLENDER
We use our Vitamix in so many applications — for smoothies and protein shakes, frozen cocktails, making spreads, and even soups! It’s an absolute workhorse in our kitchen and worth every penny.
…
BREVILLE TOASTER OVEN
This is a Daily Use Product for us — whether it’s cooking frozen food, toasting breads, reheating leftover pizza, roasting veggies, the toaster oven is probably our most-used kitchen [countertop] appliance. Breville makes such high quality machines and we have truly loved ours.
It’s also great to use in the summer months because you don’t need to heat up your whole house by cooking with your full sized oven.
…
KITCHENAID STAND MIXER
This stand mixer has been a staple in our kitchen for about a decade now. Sophie and I use it for baking all of our treats and it gets used especially heavily during the holiday season. I know I can always rely on it to give us the perfect results.
…
STASHER BAGS
I use these reusable silicone bags for almost everything. I rarely reach for the disposable options anymore because they’re so convenient! They’re especially perfect for taking snacks on the go for the girls and I love all of the size options (only a few of ours are pictured above because the rest are in use throughout the house!).
…
BEAUTY
OUAI HAIRCARE
I have been using this detox shampoo for years (I’ve lost count on how many refills I’ve purchased!) and I only recently added the scalp / body scrub to the mix — I absolutely adore them both. My hair always feels squeaky clean after using the shampoo and there is excellent grit to the scrub.
…
BRAUN IPL HAIR REMOVER
I JUST bought this hair removal device and can’t wait to use it! My ingrown hairs have really gotten out of control lately so I hope this minimizes that issue. I’ve heard such great things from Liz Joy of @purejoyhome and hope to have the same amazing results! I’ll keep you posted on my journey, but I had to share in case you wanted to try it out before I get my full review up!
…
LIVING PROOF ADVANCED DRY SHAMPOO
Years ago, I switched from the classic Living Proof Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo to their Advanced Clean product and have never looked back. It’s my ride-or-die because it’s even more effective than the original and leaves less residue on my hair (perfect for my brunette roots!).
…
PHILIPS SONICARE TOOTHBRUSH
Not the most glamorous of purchases, but we love our Philips Sonicare toothbrush (and our dentist agrees! 😉) — even our travel versions are included in this sales event!
…
KIDDOS
YOTO PLAYER (+ MINI)
We use the regular sized Yoto player daily (it lives in our preschooler’s bedroom, but it frequently finds its way to the playroom) and we always pack our mini Yoto player for travel days.
We prefer this brand’s screenless entertainment product because the cards are easy to store (imagine having to pack a bunch of figurines for traveling!) and the audio options are super robust for a wide range of ages.
…
BENTGO CHILL LUNCHBOX
Sophie has used this Bentgo Chill divided lunchbox for every single day of preschool (two years now!) and she loves it! It never leaks and has just the right amount of space for her food. As Sophie is growing, we may need to upgrade to the next size when she begins kindergarten next year, but I am sure that Chloe will enjoy inheriting this lunchbox when she starts preschool.
…
SCOOTER
There are a lot of kids’ scooters available and I really don’t think you can go wrong, you just want to find the one that works best for your child + your preferences. We chose this MomnLittle one because it has: (1) Three Wheels, (2) Foldable Functionality, (3) Lean-to-Steer, (4) Adjustable Height, and (5) Light-up Wheels (for evening visibility).
…
MISS MOUTH’S STAIN REMOVER
I don’t know how I ever washed laundry without this product before — it’s been so helpful at getting food stains out of the girls’ clothes in particular (during meals Chloe loves to wipe off her dirty hands onto the shoulders of her tops 🫠). This is my secret weapon for getting those tough stains out (like berry juices!). We use the spray every.day. at home so the larger spray bottles are perfect for our needs.
I would argue that all of these things are worth the purchase even at full price, but you may as well save some money and get them at discounted prices!
Happy saving, friends!
Sending hugs —
