Just wanted to start off by saying Thank You to those who have been contacting me the last 3 months or so. I’ve been M.I.A from the internet because I was moving. I had a surprising number of people reaching out to me to see if I was ok. Thank You!
It’s been a hectic past 3 months but I’m back and recharged 🙂
I’ve skipped August and September Products This Mom Loves lists which only means I have even more to share for October. Enjoy!

AutoBrush Kids V3
Once in awhile you’ll bump into a product that’s so necessary and revolutionary that it’s just worth every penny to buy it. This is one of them, guys. If you have kids (or teeth) you need this. For myself personally, I love having the Autobrush V3 for my kids… because let’s be real here – they can’t brush their teeth as clean as you would like alone and you just don’t have the time to do it for them every single night and day. Totally worth the money and they’re cute too! Use code BECAUSEMOMLIFE30 and get 30% off your purchase (valid only on their website) : https://tryautobrush.com/collections/frontpage
Simmons Kids SlumberTime Naturally Foam Crib and Toddler Mattress Waterproof Non-Toxic
If you’re in the market for a great baby crib mattress, look no further. We just received this mattress a few days ago and we absolutely love it. Previous to owning the Simmons Kids SlumberTime Mattress by Delta Children we had a regular mattress with a vinyl cover. Over time the vinyl cover cracked and the insides were coming out. The SlumberTime mattress is made with all non-toxic materials, has a cotton outer lining and is comfortable and safe to sleep on. I’m a little jealous of my toddler!
Fanola No Yellow Shampoo, 350 ml
I started bleaching my dark brown hair as a means to keep my greys covered for a longer period of time. Bleaching dark hair can easily cause orange and yellow hues to come out and that look died about a decade ago. If you want to maintain ashy or platinum bleached hair you’ll need to do regular maintenance with some good quality purple shampoo. There are TONS on them online and it’s really hard to find one that’s decent quality and works well. Let your search end here: The Fanola No Yellow Shampoo makes all the orangey and yellow tones go away and you’ll see results with just one wash. Don’t forget to wear gloves in the shower, you’ll have purple hands if you don’t. But for 11$, this find is a gem for anyone trying to maintain bleached hair.
Bentgo Kids Prints (Unicorn)
I’ve been using Bentgo since my first started day care (about 5 years ago). I still have the first one which I will happily be handing down to my 3rd when he starts day care this December. For my daughter I wanted to get something a bit more girly and since she has an obsession with unicorns I thought this would be the perfect item! Not much has changed to the design besides the obvious printed pattern and I’m happy for that. I’ve never had an issue with leaks and the portions come out to perfect when filled.
Unrefined African Shea Butter – Ivory, 100% Pure & Raw
My youngest has severe eczema. A lot of it is concentrated all over his legs, ankles, and arms. Although I have a regimen of products to use at home it’s not the most convenient to apply these products while we’re out. Shea Butter has been one of the best products I could take around while shopping or at a restaurant to apply on Maverick’s skin.
Mind you, Shea Butter doesn’t do much to stop the itching but when applied regularly in between flare-ups, this stuff works well in keeping the skin hydrated. This particular Shea Butter is unrefined and raw making it hard at room temperature and difficult to apply just as is. I used a double boiler method to melt down the product a little and whipped for about 2-3 minutes. Next, I poured the whipped shea butter into small containers and carry them around in my purse or diaper bag. Not only is this great for my toddler’s dry skin, it’s great for mine!
RUGGABLE Moroccan Trellis Light Grey
I have 3 young kids (7, 3 and 1)… And I have a dog. The smells, spills, and stains that my last rug went through was insane. When I saw ads online for Ruggable I knew I needed this in my life. Ruggable is a machine washable rug… Do you really need another selling point? You just throw it in the wash and it’s brand new again. They have a huge selection of designs on their website but you can find a few overstock items on Amazon. I opted for the “Linear Aztec Black Rug” because I liked the black and white pattern. Check out my full review, coming soon!
Fuloon Super Fit Stretch Chair Covers
When we first purchased our dinning table and chair set, I loved it. We had beautiful light grey upholstery and a clean light grey wooden table. Now? Not so much. Currently I have a number of huge stains that just won’t come out of the fabric. I found these chair covers on Amazon and they’re perfect! The Fuloon chair covers are a super stretchy material that can fit over pretty much any standard sized dinning chair. When one of my kids spills a drink or tipped over their pasta bowl I just throw the cover into the wash and it’s new again!
Waterproof Dining Bench Cover
Another part of our dinning set that was covered in stains was our bench. Not too many sellers have this product but I’ve managed to find someone who was selling 11 colors in 2 different sizes. Just like the chair covers above, the bench cover is machine washable, easy to put on and just pretty much awesome.
