Home is where the heart is…. or where the Amazon truck delivers. Either way. You could say we have quite the relationship happening with Amazon when it comes to filling our homes, from our kitchen must-haves to life changing carpet cleaners [we’re tellin’ ya, if you have pets or drink red wine, you NEED this thing!]. We can’t quit Amazon! We recently took a look at all of the home items we’ve purchased through the years and narrowed down our all-time favorites to share with you! If you’re wanting to know the items we turn to again and again in our homes, here you have them!

Hisense CanvasTV

CanvasTV – shown here in 85″

When we moved into our new house, Shawn took it upon himself to find the best TV option to put around our house. We’ve owned the FrameTV, and while it’s great, we loved this option for a little less expensive option, with the same great look of the Frame! There is plenty of artwork and scenes to choose from, it is trimmed out with a frame, and the photo quality is great!

GreenPan Nonstick Cookware

GreenPan Nonstick Cookware

Again, another new home purchase. We needed new cookware and I had been hearing good things about GreenPan so decided to give it a try. About 6 months in, I can confidently say it’s great! Made without harmful toxins, the coating has withstood wonderfully, and it looks beautiful on the stove when in use!

Coop Pillow

Coop Pillow

There’s a reason my Amazon order history shows that this pillow has been ordered 9 times — whether it’s been for us, gifts to give, me convincing the team to buy, this pillow is my end-all, be-all when it comes to sleep. I love that it’s up to you on how firm [or soft] you want it! Simply add or remove more stuffing, toss it in the dryer, and test! Give it a try and I am pretty confident you’ll fall in love!

Bissell Green Machine

Bissel Green Machine Portable Carpet Cleaner

If you don’t own this yet, and you have pets, children, or adults who can’t handle wine visit your home, than you need it. We’ve used it for all of the above and it works like a charm. We use it to clean our couches at the end of the season [you’ll be amazed at how much dirt and grime those cushions hold]! Everybody in my immediate family owns this and loves it!

Electric Salt & Pepper Grinders

Salt & Pepper Electric Grinders

It’s the little things in life that make all the difference — these electric salt and pepper grinders give me joy every time I use them. Not only does it grind it, it lights up as you can see! It makes every dinner experience feel like a Michelin star experience [ish] 😉

Massaging Chair

Massaging Chair

Dare I say — the best Christmas gift I’ve ever given Shawn? I got this for him this past Christmas for his office and we both love it! Not only does it look sophisticated and modern, it works so well. There are different massage settings, bluetooth to stream your favorite music or spa sounds, and makes for a great 20-minute mid-day break!

Olive Oil Sprayer

Olive Oil Sprayer

If you cook [ever], buy this. I use it nearly every time I’m making something — just pour your olive oil into the bottle, and have the option to either spray or pour from a little spout. I love with the spray option I find myself using less olive oil to cover my veggies, meat, etc. It’s an under $10 game changer.

DeLonghi Eletta Explore Espresso & Coffee Machine

DeLonghi Eletta Explore Espresso & Coffee Machine

I know, she’s a major splurge, but dang, if you value good coffee, this is worth it. This was a previous year’s Christmas gift to Shawn and we’ve since used it every single day. I love when my friends come over how excited they are to receive a mug full of smooth, delicious, coffee. There are so many different settings to make your favorite coffee, latte, iced, etc option! It grinds the beans with every brew, delivering the freshest cup of joe every time!

Samsung StanByME Portable TV

Samsung StanbyME Portable TV

Talk about elevating your bath time experience. This rolling portable TV is a game-changer when it comes to making anything you’re doing an elevated experience. From the bath to binging your favorite Netflix show, to the patio for Sunday afternoon football, in the kitchen to pull up Pinterest to cook a new recipe with, to keep your kiddos entertained with Ms Rachel in their playroom, the options are unlimited for how to use this!

Ninja Blend Boss 2-in-1 Tumbler Blender

Ninja Blend Boss 2-in-1 Tumbler Blender

The 2-in-1 Blender I’ve been using every. single. day. I love that you can blend your smoothie right from the tumbler [meaning less dishes 😉 ]. Great to mix and go!

Geometry Dish Towels

Geometry Dish Towels

I never thought dish towels were something I would be passionate about but here we are..and SO many of y’all are too! If you’ve tried the geometry brand towels you get it – I was gifted one and now just purchased these because it’s become our favorite! PLUS they come in so many cute patterns! xo Katy

Milk Frother

Milk Frother

I use this under $7 frother EVERY.DAY. Whether it’s mixing up powders in my water, making a homemade latte, or even whipped cream – I LOVE THIS thing!

SpaceAid Charcuterie Board

SpaceAid Charcuterie Board

Truly use this portable charcuterie board ALL of the time to put out little snacks in each section for my boys or guests when we are hosting! -Katy

Nespresso Machine

Nespresso Evoluo Coffee/Espresso Maker w Frother  / Vintage Coffee Mugs

The only way to wake up… is hearing that Nespresso sound off! Am I right? I will never go back to regular coffee ever, call me what you want, I am who I am – once you taste this once, you’ll understand. Even my husband said, no – keep the Keurig machine out, I don’t want that foam stuff on top of my coffee… you do notice there is no Keurig machine on my coffee bar now.. she gone! 🙂 Hooked him! These are our favorite pods, if you’re wanting to try them!

Ninja® 12-in-1 PossibleCooker™ PLUS

Ninja® 12-in-1 PossibleCooker™ PLUS

SOUP’S ON! This is by far – my favorite crockpot I’ve ever owned! I can’t tell you how much I love this Ninja 8-1 Slow Cooker friends! I made taco soup the other night and was able to brown my ground beef in this baby with it’s sear / sauté function – the fact that I don’t have to dirty another pan is game changer! Then simply turn it back over to cook on low after you’re done cooking up your meat for the rest of the day! I love mine so much – I just gifted one to my son [and told my Mom she needs one] – it’s the best!

The Hatch Restore 3

The Hatch Restore 3

Me: Finally joining the club!
Friend: What club?
Me: The Hatch!
Friend: Your life is forever changed now!

So I’m here to say – after 6 months in, setting up the hatch, using it to its full [wow so many amazing features] potential – I’m 100% on board and telling everyone about it! It quickly replaced my sound machine & alarm clock. I love so many things about about it – but my favorite thing so far is waking up to a sunrise and calming crisp air movement with birds chirping. It has been an instant game changer on my morning mood and I feel pleasant – and actually don’t mind waking up! XO Jen

Sunrise Alarm Clock

Sunrise Alarm Clock

If you’ve been wanting to try the hatch / or need to buy one for your child[hi – it’s me] – but don’t want to spend the money on the hatch … this is the one! I recently bought this for my son[after he slept through his phone alarm and was late to work] and he has said thank you over and over! He said “it’s so nice to wake up to a gentle noise – rather than a loud beeping!” Also having the sunrise over a period of time start to awake you naturally is another perk! This also acts as a bluetooth – nightlight – truly … so many great features for the price tag! I highly recommend! XO Jen

Twist Whisk

Twist Whisk

I know it may seem silly but this twist/collapsible whisk is AWESOME! Like a why didn’t I think of that moment! It easily collapses so it easily fits in your drawer, easier to wash or if you just need it to be flat for whisking!

Hotel Diffuser Oil

Hotel Diffuser Oil

I swear once you smell this stuff you’ll want it all over your house! From diffusing or a fun little hack before guests arrive, dropping a few drops in your register. It smells like the bougiest hotel you’ve ever been to!

Ninja Blast Max Portable Blender

Ninja Max Portable Blender

Oh how I love this blender! I love how compact and easy to use this thing is! I use mine daily for protein smoothies after workouts and my kids like to use it to make milkshakes or other sweet concoctions. I plan to take this with me on an upcoming roadtrip too!

Sofa

Sectional Sofa

We’ve had this couch for a little over two years now. It has survived 3 toddlers and a dog and still going strong! All the cushion covers are removable, so I just turn them inside out to wash and hang them to dry. For this stage of life and for that price, we couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Washer + Dryer Countertop

Washer + Dryer Countertop

The best laundry room addition: the washer + dryer countertop from Amazon! No more losing socks, dryer balls, etc off the back!

Nugget Ice Maker

Nugget Ice Maker

Ice ice baby! I don’t know what it is about it, but nugget ice just tastes better – it’s a fact 😉 We fill up our water bottles with ice from this every single day!

iRobot Roomba

iRobot Roomba

Three words – self emptying Roomba! With a shedding dog and two dirt-loving children, our house needs a sweep every day! This Roomba has been our favorite yet! It self-empties, has strong suction power [hello dog hair] and does a better job of avoiding obstacles than our other Roomba did! Well worth every penny spent!

Dusk to Dawn Nightlight

Dusk to Dawn Nightlight

We recently added these nightlights into our home and have truly LOVED them! They automatically turn on when it’s dark, and off when it’s light. They also have three adjustable color and brightness settings so you can get the vibe you’re hoping for! Plus, they look pretty!
