Amazon Lately.


Ohhhhhh!  It’s like the Christmas morning every.darn.time!

I posted this on Instagram a while back, but YES…

…that is SO ME! Ha!

Okay, I’m always so intrigued to see what people have been Amazon Prime-ing to their house, so here’s a little peek into our Prime too!  It’s an eclectic mix to say the least…

I’m gearing up for summer…the t-shirt with the pineapple is helping me 🙂 .

I love this story!  Okay, want to know the very first thing Erika Slaughter ever said to me?  I was sitting in front of her in Sunday school (they were new, so I hadn’t met her yet), and she tapped me on the shoulder and asked me where I found blonde bobby-pins.  I seriously thought to myself “oh, a girl who notices details like that is my kind of girl!”.  Who would have guessed what the Lord had in store for us!  I get them on Amazon, Erika 😉 .

These little bracelets have been such a fun buy!  They’re stretchy little “wooden” bead bracelets that just slip on and go with any stack on your wrist.  I’ve worn at least two of them every day since I’ve bought them.

Okay, no joke, but I have worn these earrings every day since I bought them too.  For $14, you get 4 pairs.  They’re so light and add just a bit of color to anything.  I LOVE them!

Andrew bought this iPhone stand, and we liked it so much, that we bought a second one.  It’s perfect to have on your nightstand or at your desk.

Our favorite poolside cup is this Yeti Tumbler!  We had three, and now, we have four.  It amazes me how much ice there is at the end of a hot day.  It keeps drinks so cold!

Remember this from last year???

We loved it so much that we bought it again this year.   The flamingo is HERE and our favorite duck is HERE.

I bought this tee on Amazon too!  Isn’t it cute?  It comes in many colors.  I paired it with those new shorts I love so much 🙂 .

I bought these sandpaper letters for Ashby to work on as part of her occupational therapy.

And finally, this is our favorite protein powder.  I have been making the girls all smoothies in the morning (along with one for me) and we use frozen fruit (I vary it every day: strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, mango and raspberries), a banana, some baby carrots, coconut milk, ice and one scoop of this.

Okay, everyone look right now and tell me in the comment section what is the LAST thing you Amazon Prim-ed yourself.  Mine is HERE.  What’s yours???

Also, make sure you hop on over and check out this…

Trader Joe's Meatballs

…thanks to YOU, I made the famous Trader Joe’s Meatballs with their pepper jelly!  Click HERE to read all about it!

And tomorrow is…

Let's Look!

    Hahahaha!!! Except that was so long ago you had to order them from the Sears Roebuck catalog. I’m so glad Amazon was invented.

    • April says

      My last one (got it today) was a cherry pitter and some undies Sheaffer said were awesome.

  5. Charmaine Ng | Architecture & Lifestyle Blog says

    I always spend waaay too much on Amazon! And I need to pay so much for shipping too since I live outside of the US, haha!

      Lightbulbs and a set of two filters for our water dispenser in the fridge. But before that, it was five pairs of sandals.

  6. Mindy Tierney says

    Ponchos! We are headed to Universal’s orlando after school gets out in June. Ponchos are a must for a few of the water rides and Florida afternoon thunderstorms. It will be my first time since 1993 and the first for my husband and daughter (she is 14 now).

    • Amanda says

      Mini mason jars for a Mother’s Day project at school. I teach 4th grade and this business mom has no extra time to shop for crafts for her students. And those tech joggers that everyone is raving about for myself too. In a Capri length.

  8. KimW says

    Shay what size did you get in the mauve/gray/white tee? I have looked at that before but the reviews are all over the place about the sizes! Thank you!!

  9. Lacey Peek says

    Tinkle face razors, jade face roller and a decorative coffee mug warmer:)

  11. Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says

    I bought some wool detergent and RxBars lol it amazes me that you can get anything on Amazon. I do like seeing what people find!

    Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams

    • Mary says

      Nothing too exciting! An OXO sink drain cover and before that some wipes and Lara bars! 🙂

    • Abigail says

      Ohhhhhh, where do I begin?! We order from amazon multiple times a day, everyday, I swear! My 8-week old daughter starts school in a couple of weeks (*insert crying emoji here*), and I’m putting together a classroom gift basket! Burp cloths, bibs, baby crinkle paper, extra diapers and wipes (for when mom brain happens for everyone), and teacher sticky notes!

  12. Sarah nienhuis says

    A .50 area rug sample to test out before I put it in our brand new home lol
    Cheapest thing I’ve ever primed!

  14. Jennie says

    I just ordered beach balls for every kid in my class as an end of the year gift. We are going to all sign each other’s then it’s a keepsake of fourth grade and a fun summer toy!

  15. Sheaffer Sims says

    I’ve never heard the bobby pin story. Love it! The last thing I primed myself were makeup organizers for my bathroom counter!

    • Martha says

      Which I noticed and so admired in yesterday’s post! #shesorganized #ihaveworktodo

  17. Melinda Donley says

    Last thing I primed was neon orange shoelaces for my 16 year old son and a leveling kit for my Ford truck 🙂

  18. Angela Jernigan says

    Last thing I ordered…amazon gift cards for graduation presents!

  19. Wende Liebert says

    I just bought the book ‘Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World.’
    I bought 7 copies for our graduating seniors in FFA. It’s a short read but so powerful. It makes a nice graduation gift!

  20. Valerie says

    Our eldest turned 14 recently and I bought her a couple of books and a new lap desk with Prime. I also got her a new Capezio undergarment/nude leotard to wear under her costumes for modest changes for dance recital coming up. And my husband bought himself a new rotary tool set (like a dremel, but cheaper)

  22. Jessica says

    I love these posts! The last thing I primed myself was a birthday gift for my oldest son to give to his friend — a glow in the dark soccer ball.

  24. Jenny says

    I love these posts! Mine was a watermelon windmill cutter thing. Haven’t got it yet, hope it works!

  26. katherine darlington says

    Target sells Bubba brand cups that work as good if not better than Yeti, and a heck of a lot cheaper. I forgot a cup of ice in my car while i went into work an 8 hour day and when i came out the ice barely had changed! In a hot car in a hot parking garage for over 8 hours!

    • Candice says

      Such a cute kimono, I might have to get one for myself! Thanks for the link, Allison!

    • Lisa D says

      That looks like the kimono that Big Mama Melanie posted last week. so cute!!

  28. Kelly says

    Unicorn and Soccer Ball pool floats and an air pump! We are getting ready for the summer over here, too! The last fun thing I bought that was for myself on Amazon was some Daily Ritual tanks and a short sleeve t-shirt dress also by Daily Ritual. I have bought several of their knit tanks and they have held up well in the wash that I wanted to get a few more.

  29. jennimc says

    Regarding the protein powder for smoothies….do you use any kind of milk, or just ice and the powder (with fruit, of course)? I’m thinking I will give this particular one a try for our morning smoothies 😉

    • Sarah says

      Hi, not sure if you’re making the protein powder smoothies for you or you and your kids. If it’s for kids too you might want to check out some info on giving protein powder for kids.

  31. Melissa says

    Love seeing what everyone orders. It sounds crazy, but the ingredient list for that protein powder is awful. “Natural flavors” are usually terrible for you. Check out the book by Erin Oprea (Carrie Underwood’s trainer). Love the Vital Proteins collagen peptides.

    • Alicia says

      Spy School Goes South. My son is addicted to these books. Smith might like them too! Love these post.

  33. Julie says

    Last purchase was a new slow cooker as the timer on mine completely stopped working. Love Amazon! Today I’m waiting for the third book in the Peachtree Bluff series to arrive-cannot wait.

  34. Laura says

    I ordered a set of 18 stainless steel water bottles off a teacher’s wishlist. Kristen Bell had selected her as the teacher she would honor and share on her Instagram. That teachers then makes a wish list on Amazon and people across the country can help fill her list. It was delivered yesterday!

  35. nichole says

    Some supplies for my hospital bag! Just about 10 weeks until baby boy gets here 🙂

    • Janna says

      Congrats! I have to comment that my middle name is Nichole… and very rarely do I see it spelled the same way!

  36. Kelly Buffington says

    My last purchase was plantain chips and Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides:).

  39. Amie P says

    Toddler drink cups and toddler underwear cause oh my goodness we can’t seem to master pooping on the potty…sigh. I’ll take any suggestions and it’s a boy named Bowen crazy enough!

    • Janna says

      My girl had issues for a couple of weeks. I finally gave in to her asking for a diaper but made her go sit on the potty with the lid closed til she was done… I was going to start cutting a hold in the diaper and making her sit with the lid up, but it only lasted about a week and then she was good! Now she’ll take her nighttime diaper off to go in the potty! I’m thankful I don’t have to deal with dirty diapers or panties anymore! B

  40. Kristen says

    My egg cooker has been a game changer! We use it all the time and it cooks hard boiled eggs perfectly EVERY time.

  41. Leiah says

    An essential oil diffuser for my car and my favorite thing to wash sheets and towels – Tyler Candle Co. High Maintenance Laundry Detergent. Yes, it’s a splurge but just a capful with some unscented regular detergent and it will last for months!

  44. Jantzen Haley says

    My last order included Redken all-soft shampoo and conditioner (thanks, Sheaffer!), a variety pack of Bare coconut chips, and a knee pillow. Amazon has it all! My cart is quickly filling up after reading this post and the comments!

  46. Cara says

    Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Places You Will Go. When my oldest was in preschool I started having all his teachers sign his book at the end of the school year and needed a copy for my youngest since he started preschool this year!

  47. Melinda Bridge says

    The last thing I ordered was the Revlon hair dryer that you recommended. This was my second one…my daughter used mine and liked it so much that I gave it to her?

  48. Jackie Carson says

    You have got to try the ‘MetaGrip Premium Bob Pins’. They hold your hair SO MUCH better than any other brand! Amazon has them and they are available in blonde and brown. Try them and thank me later 🙂

  51. Angie Robinson says

    The last thing we ordered was Tyler detergent in Diva. Makes towels, sheets, etc smell heavenly!

    • Leiah says

      I just ordered High Maintenance. Diva is my other fave. I feel so fancy when I use it. lol!

  52. Jessica Foster says

    Stephen Johnson water bottle holders. We ordered the flower , owl, unicorn and mermaid. So dang cute

  53. Taylor R says

    The last two things I Prime’d myself are an engineering notebook for work and an otoscope to check my little’s ears! Thank you for your posts, they are the delights of my mornings!

  54. Susan Matthews says

    I was going to get those earring this weekend and had even ordered them. But then thought “do I need MORE earrings?” It seems the answer is yes. Seeing them on your blog this morning is a sign for sure!

  55. Angie Sharp says

    Walmart has the same blonde bobby pins. That’s where I’ve always gotten mine. 🙂

  57. Ashley says

    My last Amazon Prime purchase was Davines OI Oil for my hair…reviews sound promising!

  59. Jessica says

    Last purchase was 2 jars of Legendary Foods Nut Butters in Pecan Pie and Apple Pie flavors. Soooooo good.

  60. Ally Snoderly says

    My husband and I each have the cell phone dock. We LOVE them!! Ours also has the apple watch holder. Its so easy to just lay your watch on there when you lay down at night and wake up to a fully charged watch.

    The last thing I primed was Aladdin and Jasmine costumes for my b/g 5 year old twins. They are excited about the new movie releasing soon. 🙂

  61. Elise says

    This was a cute idea. My last purchase was Lavazza K-Cups. I am so happy the Keurig was invented 🙂

  64. Kayla A Bruce says

    Organy’s Age Defying Face Moisturizer (big hit for a low cost!) and Bringing Up Bebe, cause people keep recommending it to us. Gonna check out those cute wood bracelets!

  65. Shawnee Peacock says

    I ordered collagen peptide powder and envelope seals for my senior’s graduation announcements yesterday…..both are arriving today! 🙂 That’s why I LOVE Amazon so much!

  67. Tamra says

    I just ordered the Kindle Paperwhite. I’ve always just read actual books. It came yesterday. In the same order I got a lid holder for cooking in a cast iron dutch oven while camping. And last night in bed I ordered Brook Ghost running shoes and elderberry jellies… it’s always something!

  68. MelanieL says

    Fun post! The last thing I primed was a Shark Navigator Cordless Vacuum! LOL, I love it!

  69. Tracy says

    Cracking up at the last thing you primed for yourself….because it’s also the last thing I primed for myself (got my daughter one too). 🙂

  70. Andrea says

    I LOVE reading these post of yours! It is always so interesting to see what other people order and half the time I think “we need that!” 🙂 I wanted to ask, when you buy clothes or earrings/jewelry on Amazon, how do you know which brands or sellers are good quality? I get so overwhelmed with all the choices and not sure how to navigate?

  71. Lea Culp says

    Oh, love the phone holders, I have two of them and featured them on my Prime post today as well. I’m finding more and more clothing items on Amazon. Who knew? You young gals really keep us older women “in the know.” Love seeings everyone’s finds.

  72. Jen says

    I primed my daughter’s First Communion dress! It is amazing what all you can find on Amazon for cheap! LOL

  74. Jenny N says

    I just ordered a Kindle Paperwhite after hearing you talk about it so much. I always said I liked reading actual books and I would never use an e-reader, but I keep hearing you talk about taking it everywhere and it being so easy to just take out and read a few pages while you are waiting places and realized that is a great idea. It is my Mother’s Day gift. I also ordered a cover for it and also Tyler Diva laundry detergent, which we love and use all the time!!

  75. Ranisa Brletich says

    Speedo ear plugs. No more swimmers ear. Amlactim foot repair cream. No more cracked heals.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      Sometimes they do, but after we jump on them and my kids play hard on them all summer and then Andrew deflates them (to store because it’s too hard to store them blown up), they don’t always pop back out the following year.

  77. Arika says

    After reading about Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides from two comments on this thread, I just ordered some! Also just picked up Where the Crawdads sing based on your review. I am a staunch supporter of our town’s independent bookstore, so I make all book purchases local rather than on Amazon. It’s important to me, even if I end up spending a few extra bucks.

  78. Cara says

    I just purchased a microwaveable stand for bacon- I’ve heard it’s so much easier/quicker/less mess than in the pan. I’ve tried bacon in the oven but just not crispy like we like it so going to try this!

  79. Leslie says

    Paw Patrol bandaids for my granddaughters. At Grandma’s house you don’t have to have an owie to wear a bandaid!

  80. Beth says

    A rapid egg cooker, self tanner and a foot peel kit. Let the good times roll! #sorandom

    • Laurie says

      Oh my gosh!!! How did I not know this was possible?! Thanks so much for sharing this tip!

  86. Morgan says

    Columbia storm surge pants (because #lifeinarainforest) but when you live remotely in Alaska, Prime isn’t really an option! And I kind of love it!

  87. Bethanne says

    A portable DVD player for my husband to use at work because all the tv and movie websites recently got blocked on their office computers! He promises me he can be more productive when watching DVD’s all day long – we shall see 😉

  89. Kathy Cochran says

    Most of my Primes lately have been to my son who is in college. The last one was Tide Pods and lotion. 😉

  90. Dianna says

    Want to know why I don’t own a juicer? Because I don’t even like washing my blender parts!! I love smoothies but loathe messing with the blender. #firstworldprobs

  91. StephC says

    My last purchase was a 2pk of cooling towels my daughter asked me to buy for her to take on her mission trip to Thailand. Temps will be in the 90s with humidity and probably not a ton of AC.

  93. Chelsea says

    The last thing I primed is an underground dog fence. We just moved into a new house last week! Amazon is a life saver!!

  96. Nicole says

    Hi what is the ratio/measurements for smoothie ingredients if u don’t mind! TIA

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I kind of just add a little of this and a little of that without measuring. I probably should though!!

  97. Taylor says

    I’m currently wearing the striped tee in purple! Now I’m tempted to order it in another color 🙂

  98. Monica Quiros says

    It’s not too often that I see something that I see on a blog that I just have. to. have, but I just ordered two of those phone stands and the T-shirt!! Before that, last purchase was last night – a black T-shirt for my husband for the daddy/daughter number in my daughters dance recital 🙂

    • Monica Quiros says

      Clearly, I should proofread my own comments first before hitting done ??. Is it summer break yet!?!?

  99. Leticia says

    Dog treats and dental chews for a super chewer! At least these last her longer than a minute…

  101. Lyndsey Parks says

    Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate….. powder that mixes with cold or hot and completely tasteless! Adds 11g protein and sooo many amazing benefits ranging from hair, skin, nails to joints and aches and pains! It’s a daily staple for me!

  103. Megan says

    Packing cubes + clear pouches to make summer kits… idea from Courtney at A Life From Scratch. If you haven’t seen her posts, check her out. I think you’d love her!

  104. Marissa Taylor says

    My last Amazon order on Sunday was: Lin Manuel Miranda’s tweet book for my niece as a Graduation gift “GMorning GNight! Little Pep Talks for Me & You, my daughter’s summer reading book for school: “The Red Bandana”, Aquashots Water Rockets, and Metal Filings for magnetic slime (both for my husband’s Science class at church on Wed nights)
    I

  105. Courtney G says

    The last thing I ordered was dog shampoo, baby vitamin d drops, baby probiotic and some contigo no spill straw cups. Haha!

  106. Stacey says

    Last night I was ordering mother’s day gifts! Face masks & bath bombs for my mama friends and the new book Rockstar Grandparent by Chrys Howard (grandparent to duck dynasty kids) for my mama!

  107. Yvonne says

    Love Amazon Prime! My last order was a garden hose, dog treats, jogger pants, a filter for our fridge and a watch! They have everything I need!

  112. Alissa says

    White espadrille wedges! Which I already bought in tan and black…apparently a white pair was needed as well! Ha!

  113. Janna says

    My last Amazon order was an assortment of things… vacuum bags and a filter, some new gardening gloves to plant some flowers, a new dog toy, some kinetic sand, Essy eyelash growth serum (it’s amazing!), and some shoe odor eliminator.

  114. Karen says

    Sea buckthorn oil capsules…..an omega 7 that I’m hoping will help with all kinds of crazy dryness throughout my perimenopausal body ~ especially in my mouth and throat ????

  115. Kelly Otwell says

    I ordered my two daughters a book called My Life In Lists : An Illustrated Journal to Record Your Loves + Goals + Dreams by Nicole Barlettano. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1631066137/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I gave them each a colorful set of pens to go with it. I had something similar when I was a girl and it’s fun to look back on now. I also ordered some boxwood fertilizer that prevents the rust color that they sometimes get. It was recommended by Linda Vater of the Potager blog and her yard is stunning! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EWMLAOG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

  116. Virginia says

    Great list! When you say you bought the pool float again this year, does that mean your one from last year didn’t last?

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      We can typically only get one good year out of them. my kids are not gentle with them…

  117. Debbie Dunbar says

    The last two things were a book, Secrets at Cedar Cabin by Colleen Coble, and two sets of these, OQOE Universal Waterproof Case 2Pack (Teal). I am stocking up for our beach week!

  118. jennibell says

    My last Amazon Prime purchase contained the book, Gay Girl, Good God (READ it — so, so, so good) and some coffee syrup. How’s that for random?

  119. Caroline Burke says

    Sperrys for my little guy and flowers for my bestie. Prime flower delivery is awesome.

  120. Sarah K says

    The last things I bought were markers that my kids’ teachers had on their wish lists.

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      No! I like to eat something with it like a waffle with peanut butter or an egg.

  123. Anita G. says

    My last prime purchase was for my kid’s elementary school PTO :blackout curtains for our school’s auditorium windows.

    My last prime purchase for home was an outdoor Yatzee game.

  124. Lindsay says

    I bought a backseat organizer for my car (for extra diapers, wipes, and baby stuff) and new bottles for my girl.

  125. Stephanie says

    I just primed an insulated lunch box because, with 3 1/2 weeks left of school, my 4th grader lost her lunchbox. Like, never to be seen again, lost. How?!

  127. Michelle says

    A pirate costume . Lol. Friday is Pirate day for my kindergartner. Thank you amazon prime!! I would be lost without you!!!
