Pregnancy loss is one of those experiences you can never really prepare for physically, emotionally, or mentally. After my ectopic pregnancy, I felt like my world stopped. And yet, life around me, work, kids, routines, kept moving at full speed.

In those first few weeks, I knew I needed to give myself grace but also find small ways to feel better again. Not to “bounce back” or pretend it didn’t happen, but to gently rebuild my strength, create boundaries, and support my body for the future.

September was full of little upgrades and life-savers from Amazon, and I couldn’t wait to share my top 9 finds with you all! From wellness must-haves to everyday essentials, these are the purchases I’ve been loving and using nonstop.

9. Desk Ring Light with Telescopic Stand

Whether it’s for Zoom calls, TikToks, or late-night editing, this compact ring light is a total game-changer. The telescopic stand makes it super easy to adjust, and I love that it’s travel-friendly. Perfect for content creators or just anyone who wants better lighting for calls.

This fall, I promised myself I would make mornings less stressful and rushed for my kids (and honestly, for me too!). Back-to-school season always sneaks up, and I’ve learned that a little planning ahead makes a big difference. Here are some things that have been working for us:

1.Wake Up Before the Kids (When Possible). I’ll be the first to admit this isn’t always realistic sometimes we need every extra minute of sleep we can get. But on the mornings I do wake up even 15–20 minutes before the kids, I feel more grounded and ready. Having that quiet time makes it easier to set the tone for the whole day.
