FEBRUARY FAVORITES: LITTLE WINS FOR PARENTS & KIDS
February is the month where winter overstays its welcome, and we all start eyeing spring like it’s a long-lost friend. But in the meantime, we lean into the little joys—tiny wins that make parenting smoother, bath time more fun, and maybe even leave us feeling slightly more put together.
This month’s round-up includes tried-and-true favorites that have made life easier (and a little more fun) for parents everywhere. From genius kid finds to a book that will remind you that reading for yourself is, in fact, still a thing—here’s what we’re loving this month.
1. CRAYOLA GEL CRAYONS: SMOOTH, VIBRANT, AND WASHABLE
Regular crayons? We still find them broken and scattered under the couch. But these glide like butter, leave rich color, and—most importantly—wipe off hands and tables without a fight. Little hands love them, and big hands don’t have to scrub them off the walls. Win-win.
2. KID’S PLAY FAUCET: TURN BATH TIME INTO A SPLASHY ADVENTURE
This little faucet attachment lets kids play with running water without turning your actual faucet into Niagara Falls. It makes bath time last longer, which means you might actually get to sit down for a minute. Or, you know, fold laundry at lightning speed.
3. FAIRY TALES ROSEMARY REPEL SPRAY: BECAUSE LICE DON’T BELONG HERE
No one wants to talk about it, but we all fear it. School and daycare mean the occasional lice outbreak, but this spray is like an invisible shield. A quick spritz before heading out, and you’ll have one less thing to stress about.
4. MUNCHKIN BATH FOAM LETTERS: LEARNING IN THE TUB
If your kid is going to stay in the bath until they’re pruney, they might as well pick up a few letters along the way. These foam letters stick to the tub walls, making bath time educational (and slightly less about dumping water onto the floor).
5. BEACH READ BY EMILY HENRY: A BOOK FOR YOU
Remember books? The kind without pictures? This one is for you. A funny, heartwarming, unputdownable story that reminds you that your brain is still capable of adult-level entertainment.
6. TULA SKIN TINT SUNSCREEN & SERUM CONCEALER: MOM-FRIENDLY GLOW
When you need to look awake but only have 30 seconds, this duo does the trick. SPF and coverage in one, plus a concealer that makes it look like you slept a full eight hours (even if you didn’t).

7. NAIL POLISH ACRYLIC ORGANIZER: BECAUSE DIGGING THROUGH A BASKET IS A NO
If your nail polish collection is a mess of half-empty bottles and shades you don’t even remember buying, this clear organizer is the way to go. No more rummaging—just neat rows of colors actually worth using.
8. DIGITAL THERMOMETER: FAST, RELIABLE, AND NO GUESSWORK
Because when your kid spikes a fever, you need answers fast. A good digital thermometer is a must-have, and this one is quick, accurate, and not a total wrestling match to use.
9. GUIDECRAFT MARTHA STEWART LEARNING TABLE: FUNCTION MEETS FUN
A play table that actually works for learning, crafts, and creative play. Chalkboard, whiteboard, storage—basically, a mini creative studio for your little one (and a great way to contain the chaos).
10. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LITTLE KIDS FIRST BIG BOOK OF… SERIES: CURIOSITY ON EVERY PAGE
If your kid asks why 500 times a day, these books are your new best friend. Big, colorful, and packed with kid-friendly facts on everything from dinosaurs to outer space.
11. FALSE LASH EFFECT MASCARA: BIG LASHES, ZERO EFFORT
The fastest way to look put together in under a minute? This mascara. No clumps, no smudging—just long, awake-looking lashes that make you feel like a person again.
12. ROAD RUG: WHERE IMAGINATIONS RUN WILD
A rug and a playmat in one? Yes, please. Kids will spend forever driving their little cars through tiny towns while you sip your (probably lukewarm) coffee in peace.
13. MARY RUTH ORGANICS KIDS LIQUID PROBIOTIC DROPS: GUT HEALTH FOR LITTLE ONES
Because tiny tummies need love too. These liquid probiotic drops are easy to sneak into juice, helping digestion without a fight. Use code MROAPOPOFYOU for 15% off.
THE LITTLE WINS THAT ADD UP
Some days, it’s the little things—like a good crayon that doesn’t break in half, or a bath toy that buys you five extra minutes. Whether it’s making bath time more fun or sneaking in a moment for yourself, these favorites are here to make life just a bit easier.
