Hello Monday – 10/5/26

Happy Monday! I’m starting the week with Holly and all of you! I hope you’ll link up with us for Hello Monday!

We had a great weekend and celebrated Jeff with a dinner of favorites – great gluten free pizza and chocolate peanut butter bars! It was a great day! Sunday’s rainy weather kept us home and inside most of the day, which was exactly what I needed after our week. It was a good week and I’m hoping to share it with you later this week.

Today I want to take a look at Amazon. Some Prime Day deals have already started, but the big days are tomorrow and Wednesday. It’s been a while since I’ve share the things I’m loving on Amazon so this feels like a great day to do it. These aren’t necessarily the big Prime Day deals, but they are the things my family and I love and use all the time! Here we go…

Tech

Three of us have kindles and use them almost every single day. I am on my second kindle and I am thinking about upgrading Luke’s because he reads a lot of graphic novels. I still read physical books, but the kindle is my number one because it is so easy to take everywhere with me.

We have a few Amazon TVs, too. They are great! We have firesticks on our non-Amazon TVs for streaming.

I love these magsafe phone cases. I have a light pink, dark pink, white, and purple.

When we came home from Alaska, Luke wanted to put some pictures from our camera on his iPad. I got this adapter and it’s been great!

These phone chargers are the best! I bought four for our trip to Alaska because I wasn’t sure what the charging situation would be on the plane or during our excursions. We’ve shared them with friends that are traveling and have used them a bunch at home, too.

I ordered this sound machine for the rooms on the cruise. I was worried about noise in the hallway and this elimated any issues. I am keeping it in my suitcase for all travel now.

Clothing

We have quite a few Amazon favorites! The boys can wear any khakis they want for school and Luke loves the Amazon khakis. I love that they have every single size you could need! They also wash and dry really well! The boys need boat shoes a few times a year for their uniforms. I’ve found the best price on Amazon every time.

My mom wore this cardigan on Thanksgiving and it was so cozy! I bought it in two colors – pink and apricot – and I love it! I took it to Alaska and wore it most evenings. I’ll be looking for another color to go on sale this week.

I can’t talk about cardigans without mentioning the most worn cardigan in my closet. I have it in black, navy, cream, caramel, grey/black, red, and light pink. It’s perfect!

I also love the CRZ Yoga brand on Amazon! I love their skorts, sports bras (high impact and lower impact), their dresses, and the joggers.

My friend, the PE teacher at school was wearing this skort and I loved it! The orange is a good orange and the patterns are so fun!

A friend at work recommended these pants. They are so comfy! I think my friend has most of the colors. I have the black and white and love them! I might add another color if they go on sale this week.

Another friend wore these jeans to work and I ordered them in blue and white. They are so comfy!

I saw Amy wearing cute socks with a little ruffle and decided to get these no show socks. They are great for a little something when I wear sneakers to work.

Do you see the slightest ruffle down there at my shoes?

My friend at the pool recommended these flip flops. The shipping was cheaper and faster on Amazon as opposed to the company’s website. I ordered black and navy and love them both!

The boys needed rain coats for our trip to Alaska. I found these on sale and they were exactly what we needed. They’ve been wearing them for our rainy fall days, too!

Health/Beauty

The star of this post is this ice pack. When Jack had his wisdom teeth removed, this thing was THE ABSOLUTE BEST! After he used it, we’ve shared it with friends and recommend it to everyone who mentions any dental surgery.

I’ve purchased these eye patches multiple times. Jen recommended them first and I’ve tried the pink, green, gold, and blue varieties.

Accessories

I’ve ordered a few of these single color necklaces. They are trendy and I didn’t want to spend too much, so these are perfect! I wanted a multi-colored one, too. I also picked up these fun Halloween necklaces.

I’m not sure that these are technically accessories, but Jack wears them with his favorite outfits. 😉

Home

I ordered a few sets of these lights when we took some landscaping out. There were big empty spaces and I wasn’t sure what we were going to put there. They’re so fun!

The bottle for our under counter soap dispenser broke so I ordered this connection set and it’s great!

We needed a few more packing cubes for our trip to Alaska. I was looking for all medium sized sets and got two of these. They are great!

I’m not sure how it happened, but all of our golf umbrellas disappeared. I ordered one for my car, one for Jeff’s car, and one for Jack’s car. As a golf family, we’ve been pleased with these.

We were struggling to hang dry our towels this summer because it was so humid. I got this for the mudroom and it was just what we needed. It’s going to be so useful for snow clothes this winter, too.

I needed to replace a few straws and found sparkle Swigs.

Stationary & More

I’ve been using to do lists for a few years at school. This is one of my favorites because I have pen colors that match.

Both of my teaching areas have magnetic surfaces at school. I picked up two of these to have pens, bandaids, and incentive coupons handy.

I always have a notepad with me in my clipfolio. These colorful pads are my favorites and I’ve ordered them multiple times. I’m going to try a smaller clipfolio in my purse. I ordered this one last night.

I needed thank you notes at the end of the school year. These were at my house the next day and are great!

If you are still reading, you deserve a gold star! I know this was a long one, but I wanted to share the things that I’ve been loving on Amazon. These things make my days easier! I have a few things I mentioned on my list to see if they go on sale. I like to get recommendations from my actual friends (in person and bloggers) rather than the big influencers, so I hope you do too. I’ll be looking to see what friends may recommend in the next few days. If you blogged today, be sure to link up with us below. We are trying inLinkz again. I am hoping it works for everyone. Have a great day full of sunshine and books!!
