Teeny Tiny Sound Machine – this is a mini sound machine that turns into a blue tooth speaker.  I got it for breathing issues we’re having in the bedroom (haha), and the sound is amazing.  I use the fan setting and it reminds me of the huge window fans from my childhood. I also plan to use it when we travel, so we don’t have to tie up our phones for Emerson’s white noise

Lantana hummus – I’ve tired the spicy yellow lentil and carrot flavors and I’m obsessed!  Love the sweet fruits/seeds they put in the middle!

Aloha Protein powder – Matt found this at Target. Not only is it one of the cleanest plant-based protein powder’s I’ve seen, but it tastes amazing.

Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum – I think I told you guys I was trying this a while back, and I’m loving it so far!! Since I bought the serum, I’ve seen other mentions of how important it is to add vitamin C to your skincare routine.

Sticker books – My mom got these for Emerson, and they have been the best entertainment!  We do a couple of pages at a time, and then she loves to look back through the books to study her work.

Schmidt’s Lavender & Sage Scent – This is the the only natural deodorant I’ve tried that isn’t terrible. I still plan to use my antiperspirant when I don’t feel like being damp in the pits, but this is great for days when I’m just hanging out at home or going to the gym.

    We’re a big white noise family. My sleep quality is 10000x better when I have it on…I like the fan setting as well! Our two year old has been sleeping with it since around 8 months and I love how I don’t have to worry about the dog barking or the doorbell ringing, she’ll sleep right through it. We’ve been through a few sound machines so far, so I’ll have to look into your recommendation! In a pinch I really like the app “deep sleep”, it’s pricey, but the important thing is it has the capacity to be SO much louder than other apps I’ve tried and has tons of different sounds to choose from.

    I’ve been waffling on whether to get a sound machine or not. I dislike tying up my phone by relying on an app but most sound machines are big, bulky, and ugly. The one you posted is so cute!

    I have a little one who is about a year behind Em, so I always love your product reviews and travel tips. We actually haven’t traveled with him yet – trying to get up the nerve to do it soon. This little sound machine is going straight in my cart!
