Being a parent of multiple children leaves little time for shopping, and carrying packages while pushing a stroller and holding a child’s hand is nearly impossible. Ah ha, the internet! I’d like to think I’ve become a savvy web shopper over the last few years and sometimes pricing is even better online than in stores. Here’s a list of my essential kid products and where to find them.
COFFEE – OK, this is really for us parents, but if you buy a Keurig coffee maker so you can make coffee at the same time as a baby bottle, these are the best K-cups at the best price. We get a shipment twice a month through Subscribe & Save which reduces the price by 15% and eliminates shipping cost.

SOAP, LOTION & BATH BOMBS – We discovered LUSH cosmetics when my daughter had eczema on her elbows that we couldn’t get rid of. Try the combo of Dreamwash Shower Smoothie in the bath followed by Dream Cream, which really gets rid of eczema completely. A classmate had the same results after my recommendation. Actually, we started with just the Dream Cream and that alone did the trick, and then bought the Shower Smoothie just because we liked the products so much. We then moved on to the Candy Fluff Dusting Powder and Bath Bombs for a treat, and chocolate flavored lip balms- mmm.

TALC, CREAM & BATH BUBBLES – California Baby has a couple of outstanding products that we keep stocked in the house at all times. The non-talc powder is great for using all over your baby, with no worries of breathing in powder dust. We use it in our son’s diaper before bedtime…did I mention our two kids have never had a diaper rash? The calendula cream is outstanding for all kinds of chapped faces, from your basic runny nose chapping to cold weather red cheeks, and it smells great! We are also fans of the calming bubble bath, which is a no tears formula and generates lots of bubbles and comes with a wand for added fun. The fragrance free sunstick is very good for young kids, although now that our kids are older we have moved on to Waterbabies.

BIBS - There are so many bibs to pick from, how does one choose? If your son is a drooler and messy eater like mine get the bibs from Built NY. They are made of the same material as the wine carriers and lunch packs, and are washable. After wasting money on many bibs and always getting drenched in milk, I finally spotted these on Amazon and gave them a try. Lots of parents have asked about and purchased them since. They are for smaller kids, so once you need a larger size I suggest the Bumkins brand, which are also waterproof, although not as thick, and washable. Both are good choices.
