Top Ten Amazon Finds for Summer Simplicity

As summer begins to wind down and the initial excitement has turned to more of a "how are we going to engage and entertain our oh so curious 2 year old until nap time," conundrum...My husband and I found ourselves, once again on Amazon searching for new products to push his growth, promote family time and not break the bank all while simultaneously attempting to simplify life!

So we read, compared, purchased and tested a few recommended products and this is what we found!

Visit our Smarter Not Harder SNH Associate Store to view the "Top 10" products we used to create our first family camping trip all in the comfort of our own backyard.  From outdoor movie screens to campfire pie makers, I wouldn't be surprised if "camping" becomes a regular affair at our house. Let's face it, who really wants to risk a potty-training toddler in the great outdoors when  the backyard is great in its own right. Besides...it is our backyard of "firsts," first steps, first birthday and now first camping experience! Can't wait to see what other memories the final weeks of summer have in store for us!  

 Stay tuned and enjoy!  Hope your backyard camping trip is as successful as ours.  

PS.  The bedtime story (Just Me and My Dad) between daddy and son next to lil' man's first toddler lantern (pictured below) is a memory I will cherish forever.  Until next time, be sure to find ways to live and work "Smarter Not Harder" so you can enjoy the things that matter most!
