Happy Friday, friends!!!
Today is going to be one of running errands for me. I’ve been scheduling my grocery pick-up for Friday mornings and I also have a few other errands I need to do today.
In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to do something a little bit different for Five on Friday today. Instead of just random life updates, I’m sharing my five most recent Amazon purchases with you.
{1} Outdoor Blanket
We have been to a couple of events since moving to DC in which we’ve needed a good outdoor blanket. Since we’ll be attending an outdoor concert this weekend, I went to Amazon in search of a good outdoor blanket that we can use.
The one I decided on is an XXL three-layer blanket. It is waterproof with a fleece top. It is supposed to seat 5-6 adults sitting, so I think it will work just fine for our family. I’m excited to try it out this weekend!
{2} Metal Skewers
I have put grilled kabobs on our menu plan twice over the last few weeks. In fact, for tonight’s Friday Night Dinner we are having these Surf and Turf Kabobs. I am not always great at remembering to soak wooden skewers so they don’t burn or splinter, so I decided to get these set of twenty metal skewers. They came with a metal storage tube, which I love!
{3} Set of 4 Digital Timers
I love using timing for organization and productivity. I am always using a timer for myself and I got these for each of my kiddos to use with homeschool. This may go down as one of my best homeschool supply purchases!
{4} Wireless iPhone Charger
I purchased this wooden wireless iPhone charger last year and I have loved it for charging my phone throughout the day. When we moved I set it up on one of the end tables in our reading room, but I was missing having a charger on my desk. I spend most of my time either in the reading room or our homeschool room/office. So, I purchased another of these chargers and set it up at my desk. I love the wooden design and the sleek look of this charger!
{5} Aromatherapy Diffuser
I am a total newbie when it comes to diffusing essential oils, but I have loved having a nice blend of essential oils diffusing throughout the day. I have one set up in our reading room (on the same end table as the iPhone charger, in fact) and decided to set up a second one by my desk in our homeschool room. I loved that this diffuser came with a set of six essential oils.
And there you have it, friends! I’m trying to be conscious of what I order on Amazon because it’s just so easy to do. I think all of these purchases have been useful for our family.
What’s one of the most recent purchases you’ve made?
