What We're Shopping for in February

February is a tough month. It's no longer January (which felt like 100 days long), but it's still winter. And at least in my circles, it seems like everyone is getting sick. Looking for a little pick-me-up? Here are some of the fun, useful and yummy items we're shopping for this month. Hopefully, there's something here that will help your family, too.

*While we would genuinely buy every item on this list, some were gifted. 

My Hair, My Crown Board Book

It feels like an especially important time to celebrate Black beauty—and not just for Black History Month. This adorable book teaches kids of all races about different Black hairstyles. It even includes a mirror at the end so little ones can admire and appreciate their own hair.

Plus, this month get 25% off the great selection of books at MudPuppy with code LOVE25.

Poppi Strawberry Lemon

If your kids love sweet, fizzy drinks, but you’re looking for a better option to keep in the fridge, Poppi is a great choice. I sent a can in my son's lunch to much fanfare. These bubbly beverages deliver all the fun and sweetness of soft drinks without the excess sugar.

Boogie Wipes & Boogie Micro-Mist Saline Inhaler

If your little one’s nose is still running (and likely started in November), Boogie Wipes Saline Nose Wipes are a must-have. These gentle wipes help dissolve boogers without causing irritation, which is a relief for sensitive skin. For extra congestion relief, the Boogie brand has recently launched a Micro-Mist Saline Inhaler. It’s a drug-free, kid-friendly option to clear stuffy noses with natural saline—super easy to use and effective for the whole family.

Petit Lem Swim Essentials

Going on a family trip somewhere hot? petit lem has the sweetest swimwear for everyone—including matching suits for mom and dad. We love the long-sleeved one-pieces and rompers (less sunscreen needed!) and the matching trunks for kiddos and parents.

Charmspring Springboard

We recently tested and reviewed the Charmspring Springboard, and it’s a thoughtful solution for families looking to simplify routines. Whether it’s getting out the door in the morning or winding down for bed, this visual task management system helps kids follow their daily steps with ease. The magnetic tiles illustrate common activities—like brushing teeth or packing a backpack—so even non-readers can see what comes next. If your family’s routine could use a little extra structure, this one’s worth checking out.

Little Spoon Meal Delivery

Finding nutritious meals that little ones actually enjoy can be a challenge. Little Spoon offers an easy solution with its organic, ready-to-eat meals designed for babies, toddlers, and big kids—no prep required. But does it live up to the hype? We recently tested Little Spoon with a 20-month-old to see if it delivers on taste, convenience, and nutrition.

Uppababy Vista V3

Stroller shopping can be intense. There are so many great options, it can be hard to know which to pick—but Uppababy is usually a contender. While the new Vista V3 doesn't come with a bassinet, it has a new all-weather comfort seat with mesh backing and a removable seat liner for colder months. Plus the harness system now has a magnetic buckle.

4moms Breeze Plus Playard

We reviewed the 4moms Breeze Plus this month. Our tester was initially hesitant to get a pack-and-play but was won over by its intuitive design and effortless setup—it unfolds in minutes and collapses just as easily. More than just a playard, it includes a built-in bassinet and a changing table attachment, making it an all-in-one travel essential.
