La Droguerie Odor … curated on LTK

natalieriendeau

I don’t know how it took me so long to discover this “La Droguerie” candle scent by Diptyque, but I love it so much. It’s perfect to use in the kitchen, especially after cooking (or reheating) foods with strong scents. It smells herbal & fresh and helps to neutralize odors. 🕯️ *My candle tray is called the “Round Gold Reactive Metal Candle Plate” from World Market which can’t be linked, but it’s great!

I pulled out our infant bathtub today to make sure it’s all ready for baby’s (eventual) first bath and I had forgotten how much we love this bathtub! It collapses to being nearly completely flat (excellent for storage and easy to remove so that our toddler can take her baths in the actual tub), has an easy-empty drain in the bottom, and you can put baby on the other side once they’re able to sit up on their own so it kind of "grows with them”. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for an infant bathtub! 🫧🛁

We were relieved to [re]discover that our UppaBaby Mesa V2 infant car seat is still valid until September of 2027! I gave it a thorough cleaning (vacuumed out all crumbs, washed all padding, etc.) and it looks as good as new.
We’re all set for baby to arrive now! I love that I can manage this car seat with one hand, especially since I also have a toddler to keep my eyes on. 😅 We’ll install the base in the car soon so that we have it all prepared for whenever baby girl decides to arrive.

#LTKbaby

These socks have been a staple for our almost 3 y/o #LTKtoddler because they actually STAY PUT! They are hands down a favorite for the whole family. We placed an order ahead of Baby Girl’s arrival so we’re also all stocked up for her in the 0-6M size! Thank goodness for this genius design because nothing is worse than losing baby socks! 😂

#LTKkids #LTKbaby

We keep finding more and more uses for our IKEA Flisat sensory table! This sand situation was such a hit. We’ve reimagined it so many ways and it never ceases to hold our #LTKtoddler ‘s attention — highly recommend!

#LTKkids

This convertible helper tower has been of such great use to us with our #LTKtoddler — obviously we love to use it in its tower form to help Sophie reach the kitchen counter, but unfolding it into her own little table for arts and craft activities has been even more useful.

#LTKkids

Repeating these excellent baby bath essentials with our second Baby Girl! 🛁🧼🫧 We still use a lot of the same things with Sophie, but I’m starting to gather the items she’s grown out of / no longer needs (like the gentle cradle cap scalp scrubber) for the new baby.

#LTKbaby

Once we bought Squid Socks for Sophie we’ve never gone back! They’re so brilliant and actually STAY ON (if you’re a parent, you understand this struggle). Of course, we had to stock up for our new baby! We definitely continue to buy them for our #LTKtoddler as well — she calls them her “sticky socks” and we love that the silicone texture on the bottom keeps her from slipping around on our wood floors.

#LTKbaby

There are a lot of lotions, balms, and serums in the market for baby bumps, but I love this one in particular for soothing my itchy skin as my body stretches and changes. 🤰🏼 I especially love to apply it after showers when my skin is even more receptive to absorbing product!

#LTKbeauty #LTKbump

Our #LTKtoddler loves playing with these sparkly resin letters as we begin to learn the letters of the alphabet! They’re an ideal size (in my opinion) — not too small or too big, and they’re easy to clean which makes them ideal for playing in water, sand, play-doh, etc.

To use them for a matching game I paired them with the [free] alphabet printable that I found here: https://themamanotes.com/trader-joes-alphabet-cookies-letter-recognition-printable/

#LTKbaby #LTKkids

Sophie and I have been discussing weather recently so I added these season sensory tubes to our collection! Sophie loves to watch the little fillers fall while we talk about each season. Such a great tool for teaching the four seasons / weather to an #LTKtoddler !

#LTKkids #LTKbaby

I adore these drying pads in our #LTKkitchen — they’re sturdy, naturally bacteria-resistant, the silicone webbing makes them soft enough to place more delicate items on and creates opportunities for ventilation. The best part is that the diatomacious earth material dries super quickly so as soon as you’re ready to put your dishes away, you can also fold up your drying pads and put them away too (without the risk of mildew!).
This feels like such a random product to share, 😅 but they’ve been a major upgrade for us.

#LTKhome

Here is this year’s #EasterBasket for our #LTKtoddler — maybe one of these years I’ll get it together and share everything ahead of time 🤦🏼‍♀️ but this year’s holiday really snuck up on me! At least you can benefit from my delay and likely get most items on sale now that Easter 2024 is over. 😜

#LTKkids #LTKSeasonal

My l Weekend Slide Sandals from Rothy’s arrived today and I’m so pleased with them! They’re comfortable (due to flexible recycled fabric straps), are TTS, and I love the sleek criss-cross design.

I can already tell that these slide sandals are going to be in heavy outfit rotation throughout the rest of my pregnancy, during postpartum and beyond!

#LTKshoecrush #LTKbump

I picked up these beautiful tulips at the grocery store the other day and they bring me so much joy. So cheerful! Bringing spring into our house even if it’s been chilly and rainy in Seattle lately. 💐☀️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKhome

It’s an indoor water table kind of day for our #LTKtoddler again! 💦🧁 She absolutely ADORES this table and I just added the silicone cupcakes toys for the first time today (they’ve been a big hit)!

#LTKkids #LTKbaby

Our #LTKtoddler loves to put these Velcro bandages on her stuffed animals, but especially on this flamingo because of her long legs and neck which provide ample space for fixing “boo-boos”. 🩹🦩

*Note: Our exact flamingo stuffy is from a few years ago and no longer available, but the name is “Flo Maflingo” by Jellycat if you want to search for it secondhand! 🩷

#LTKkids #LTKbaby

Sophie loved her Ryan & Rose pacifiers, so we’re hoping that Baby Girl will enjoy them as well! My next task is to put them through the silicone sanitization process.

#LTKbaby

We’re starting to get Baby Girl’s room ready for her arrival! 🐇🎀 Even though she’ll be in a bassinet in our room for the first few months, we still want to have her room ready! Her crib setup is just about complete now — just need to install her Owlet Cam and we’ll be all set.

#LTKbaby #LTKhome

So excited to get planting this spring! I picked up these beautiful scalloped planters at Target and I can’t wait to get some flowers planted in them to bright up our #LTKoutdoor space. 🪴

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKSeasonal #LTKhome

A spring activity bin idea for your #LTKtoddler ! 💐 Our 2.5 y/o is having a blast with this setup.

*Note: our latex tulips are from Bullseye’s Playground at Target so I can’t link them (these items aren’t available on the Target website), but any faux flower stems will do!

#LTKbaby #LTKkids

We bought a Newton breathable crib mattress (with waterproof cover) for our new baby girl after having such a positive experience with the one we bought for Sophie almost three years ago. We can’t recommend these mattresses enough! I was assembling the baby’s crib today and noticed that Newton is currently offering a 20% off sale (no code required!).

#LTKbaby #LTKsalealert

Just picked up this pair of over-the-bump dark wash skinny jeans and I’m really loving them! I would say that they run TTS (I went with my pre-pregnancy size), have functional back pockets, and they have a nice amount of stretch to them. 10/10 if you are looking for a pair of maternity skinnies.

#LTKbump #LTKfindsunder50

I love putting these little #LTKgifts together for Sophie’s dance classmates, even for small holidays like #StPatricksDay 🌈🍀✨ I couldn’t resist these adorable gift tags to tie onto a festive treat (which are perfect for an #LTKtoddler ).

#LTKkids #LTKSeasonal

I love to use this as a gentle cleanser / makeup remover before washing my face — it also helps to soften any dry skin on my face (due to #rosacea 🥴) before using a washcloth to gently slough everything off. It’s already so affordable and you don’t need a lot of product (a little goes a long way!) which means it’s super cost effective.

#LTKbeauty

We absolutely adore our Aura digital frame! I love that I don’t have to make the difficult decision of choosing just ONE photo to frame and rather get to have a constant loop of beloved images on display throughout the day! They’re so easy to load with photos and add more directly from your phone as you capture more memories. 🩷 These also make an amazing #LTKgift !

#LTKhome

We finally received all of the audio cards we ordered for the Yoto Player that we recently gave to our #LTKToddler ! Sophie’s had such a fun time swapping out the cards and learning how to move between the chapters of the stories. 📚
This wooden card organizer is the perfect storage solution for our playroom!

#LTKbaby #LTKkids

Boosting my pregnancy hydration! 💦

#LTKSeasonal

This tote has been a WORKHORSE on this tropical vacation — since it has a VERY loose designer tote bag vibe I still felt put together when carrying it, but didn’t have to worry about my actual designer bags getting ruined by the pool or on the sandy beach. I absolutely love the durability of the exterior waterproof(!) and sand proof nylon fabric, the interior zipper pouch for securing smaller items and it’s pleasantly roomy inside (which easily fits a ToteSavvy organizer!). Highly recommend this bag for your next beach vacation!

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKkids #LTKtravel

These silicone sand toys have been PERFECT for our beach mornings on this trip to Maui! The bucket works great for building “castles” but also collapses down to being almost completely flat so it’s easy to pack in your luggage as well as to toss into your beach bag! 🏝️ They’ll also be great for kinetic sand playtime at home until our next beach trip. 🤭

#LTKSeasonal #LTKkids

We finally made the decision on which audio player to get for Sophie — we went with the YotoPlayer! We’re so excited to give it to our #LTKtoddler in an effort to minimize her screen usage (which is fairly minimal on a daily basis, but if we could reduce it even more I’m all for it!). I’ve ordered a bunch of the audio cards and they should be arriving within the next week — mostly Disney stories to start out (since they’re familiar to her), but I’m excited to expand her audio “library”!

#LTKkids

This tool is one of my favorite kitchen tools, even though it fairly single-purpose it saves me so much time cutting up grapes and cherry / grape tomatoes for my #LTKtoddler that I think it’s 1000% worth it. I even travel with a spare one because choking hazards are no joke and this cuts (😏) the time down significantly! 🍇

#LTKkids #LTKbaby

This water table activity is a favorite of our #LTKtoddler — today I chose some #ValentinesDay colors (red & purple GloPals, pink reusable ice cube stars, and a couple of light up white stars) for a festive Love Day vibe. 💜🩷♥️🤍💘

#LTKbaby #LTKkids

These Teleties Flat Clips are my latest #LTKhair obsession. The hold is super effective and they’re so much more comfortable than the traditional claw clip. I love both the black and tortoise colorways and have all three sizes for multiples use cases (since I have long hair). HIGHLY recommend — don’t sleep on these awesome hair clips!

#LTKbeauty

We had so much fun hosting our first #SuperBowl Party yesterday! Everyone brought awesome dishes to share and we had such a great time cheering for Taylor’s boyfriend’s team. 😉 Linking a few of our favorite themed serve ware pieces for hosting during #footballseason so you can stock up for next year! 🏈💚🤎🏆 (*The football shaped serving bowl was a Target Dollar Spot find from a past season that you may be able to find on Mercari / Poshmark!)
