Summersalt x Diane Von Furstenberg Swimsuits

Diane Von Furstenberg has brought her bright prints and iconic wrap dress aesthetic to a collab with Summersalt swimwear and I am giving it a standing ovation. I got some adorable bathing suits for the girls and a few for myself because summer is still half-full.

Monogrammed Baseball Caps for Littles

I ordered these custom monogrammed hats for the girls from Amazon and was shocked by how quickly they arrived. They’re 100% cotton, come in a ton of colors and are available in adjustable sizes for children ages 2-10. I’m just hoping they extend their sizing to include adults because personalized “Mom” and “Dad” hats may be what it takes to get Coco to stop calling us by our first names.

Daddy’s Little Dress Shirts

I mentioned this company Daddy’s Little Dress Shirts in my Father’s Day reel, but I have to shout them out again here. They take men’s dress shirts and make them into baby clothes. You can custom order everything from rompers to hair bows and everything in between and it makes such a special gift. If you know me, you know I love matching outfits. Daddy’s Little Dress Shirts make sharing that love with my husband easy. Logistically. Not emotionally. I am incredibly jealous (please see the traumatic Father’s Day reel from which I am still healing).

Wonderfold Multifunctional Stroller Wagon

Being a mother is one part landlord, one part therapist, one part stylist, one part Uber driver — sorry, how many parts is that? I know it’ll be the blink of an eye before Coco gets her driver’s license, so until then, I’m savoring the Uber driver part with the help of this W4 Luxe 4-Passenger Multifunctional Stroller Wagon. The model we got accommodates up to four passengers, has removable seats and its lightweight design makes it easy to collapse and store. Plus, Wonderfold makes a variety of styles at different price points like this one.

Cerebelly Discount Code

If you know me, you know Cerebelly is the only pre-packaged baby food I give my kids. It’s the only baby food scientifically formulated with sixteen brain-supporting nutrients, formulated by a mother who also just happens to be a neurosurgeon with a Stanford PhD in Developmental Neurobiology. When it came to feeding her own kids, she noticed that many baby foods were packed with sugar and lacked the nutrients needed for proper brain development. Cerebelly is offering up to 35% off your first order with discount code: MARYORTON because buying organic, farm-fresh food for your baby should be a no-brainer.

Contigo Kids Cups

I recently discovered these Contigo Kids Cups and they are so good they make my entire journey as a parent up to this point feel like a lie. They are the perfect size, they don’t tip, they don’t spill, they’re dishwasher safe, and they’re BPA-free. They even have a straw that twists apart for easier cleaning. These cups are basically indestructible. And, believe me, my kids have tried. (One may or may not have been thrown like a missile over the staircase railing to crash onto marble twenty feet below with not a crack. Not even a dent.) They come…

KidKraft Wooden Outdoor Playhouse

The housing market skyrocketed during the pandemic but after a long and arduous search, we finally found Coco and Liza their dream home! KidKraft has a ton of high-quality playhouses made from actual hardwood and the girls are obsessed. This Forestview playhouse has a working doorbell, a play kitchen, chalkboards and window boxes for flowers. I’ve even seen some parents paint their playhouse to match their actual house. I don’t think we’re quite there yet since we’re still awaiting an invite to their housewarming party.

Weezie Towel Cover Ups For Kids

So help me, these are the cutest things I have EVER SEEN. These smart beach coverups are made of hypoallergenic cotton to keep kids cool and dry on the beach after swimming, while also being ideal for post-dip playtime. There are pockets for shell collecting which I know my kids appreciate immensely. I’ve already purchased these for Coco, Liza, and my nephew, and I know when I need an adorable gift later this summer, I’m all set. (Yes, of course, I had their names embroidered on each. TOO DANG CUTE.)

Julia Donaldson Children’s Books

How has it taken me this long to discover Julia Donaldson Children’s Books? Parents know that when it comes to reading to your children, you want to make sure you’re actually accomplishing something productive. I find so many children’s books frustratingly plotless, pointless, and unimaginative, but not these! Donaldson infuses a valuable lesson into every sweet story, and the proof is in how much Coco (and I) loves them. Our current favorite is Room on the Broom but we’re now in the process of collecting everything this author has ever written. Get ready, Liza.

Dockatot x William Morris Tent of Dreams

I’ve been lusting over this (literal) Tent of Dreams for two years (yes, TWO YEARS) and finally purchased it for the girls as an Easter surprise. It’s definitely an investment for a children’s item, but it’s going to live in our sunroom, so I felt good about something that could be a permanent addition to the room that also added to the overall decor. I also got the coordinating cushion and bolsters for styling out the tent a bit and adding extra comfort. I strongly recommend looking through all of the beautiful fabrics the tent comes in here.
