4. Amazon Striped Sweater Tank – You all went crazy for this one and with good reason! I love the neckline on this along with the “muscle tank” kind of vibe. The material is a crochet sweater like material so it will be perfect for summer or fall. Runs true to size to a tad big.

Wow, what a year! 2020 turned out to be the year no one expected. Lots of ups and downs over here but overall it was nice to slow down a bit and have a bit more family time. With that said, I am eagerly looking forward to 2021 and a little more normalcy. Hey, just a trip to the mall would be nice every one in awhile. 🙂 I am recapping the most popular items of the year or the top 20 or 2020!

These top 20 items were the most popular, most clicked on and most purchased items throughout the entire year. Most of the items on the list were quarantine approved loungewear, comfy bras, leggings and cozy cardigans. Check out the list below to see if you purchased any of the top 20 of 2020!

1. Werner’s Wirefree Comfy Bra

The one and only Amazon bra took the top spot of the most popular items of 2020! I own several of these bras and I honestly refuse to wear my old ones now. It is wirefree and perfect for lounging around the house. It does have slight padding so the girls are covered and happy. The fabric is great quality and it is bulge free. If you haven’t tried this one out, I HIGHLY recommend it!

2. CRZ Leggings

I found my new favorite Amazon workout wear brand this year. These leggings are the closest I have found to the much more expensive Lululemon Align leggings. These leggings are a “naked” feeling legging and are lightweight and so comfortable. They are high rise and stay in place while working out or lounging. They come in tons of colors and patterns but the leopard print were the most popular this year! They fit true to size and are under $30!

3. Gaberly Boat Neck Sweater

This sweater is one of my all time favorite Amazon purchases, I’m so glad it made the most popular items of 2020 list. The fabric is so stretchy and soft and the fit is perfect. The best part about this sweater is that it is a one size fits most (I believe it say fits sizes 0-16). The stretch of the fabric makes this possible and I have seen it look adorable on both ends of the spectrum. It can be worn off the shoulder or as a boat neck and comes in tons of colors! Definitely a closet staple.

4. Old Navy Black Distressed Jeans

This are my most worn pants in my closet. I love the fit of these, slightly high rise and skinny. The distressing is not too much but just enough to make them look trendy and “cool”. The fit true to size and usually go on sale quite regularly. Another great closet basic!

5. Aerie OFFLINE High Waisted Leggings

These are the leggings that will never want to take off! So many of you have messaged me about these bad boys talking about how great they are. They are another “naked” feeling legging with super lightweight material. Love the high waist of these and they come in 3 different lengths. I got the regular length and they fit me perfectly at 5’4″.

6. Abercrombie High Rise Black Jeans

You guys loved these jeans this year. Abercrombie jeans are hands down my favorite mid range brand of jeans. All of their jeans fit like a glove and have stretch to them which I personally love! These black jeans have the best chewed hem at the bottom that makes them perfect to wear with booties, sneakers or sandals. I get the regular length at 5’4″ and they fit perfectly.

7. NSQTBA Tunic Pocket Tee

Another great Amazon find! This tunic length tee has the coziest, softest fabric. It is great quality and looks perfect with leggings or jeans. Fits true to size, comes in lots of colors and is under $25!

8. HIYIYEZA Tunic Tee

Tunic tees from Amazon were definitely popular this year and I’m sure it is because of the massive amount of leggings that we were wearing. Quite a few of the top spots of the most popular items of 2020 were tunic tees! This tee is the perfect length and is a great lightweight material. Runs true to size or size up for a longer, oversized fit.

9. Walmart Turtleneck Sweatshirt

2020 was the year for comfy loungewear and this sweatshirt wins the prize. So soft and warm plus legging friendly! This one runs true to size and is under $15, if it is out of stock these sweatshirts are just as good if not better!

10. Amazon Tunic Tank

Another legging friendly option! This is a great tank for layering underneath virtually everything to make tops legging friendly. It does run a tad big so you can definitely size down if you are in between. The fabric is a great stretchy material and hold up really nicely in the wash. Comes in lots of color choices!

11. Levi’s Skinny Jeans

I was hesitant about buying jeans on Amazon but these do not disappoint. These stretchy skinny jeans fit true to size and look great underneath tall boots along with regular boots, sneakers or sandals! The best all around jean for the price. These skinny jeans do run a tad long, I got the short version at 5’4″ and they fit perfectly.

12. Amazon Bodycon Dress

This is one of the most versatile dresses I own. You can dress this one up with heels or down with sneakers. It is fully lined (yes, even the back too unlike its more expensive look a like) and a great stretchy fabric. I have this one in multiple colors and it is super comfortable and flattering on all types of bodies.

13. Amazon Zesica Pocket Cardigan

This cardigan was a huge hit this year and no surprise that it made the most popular items of 2020! It has a great waffle texture, pockets and covers the bum! What more could you ask for in a cardigan? This one comes in multiple colors and fits true to size. This is also one of my favorite brands on Amazon, everything is great quality for the price.

14. Walmart Athletic Works Joggers

2020 would not have been the same without all the joggers. These joggers were one of my favorites this year. They are the cross between sweatpants and joggers and I bought two pairs. They are under $15 and run true to size. Highly recommend these if they are still in stock!

15. Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

I spent all year trying to find a look a like for these leggings for an affordable price. The Amazon ones are pretty close but nothing compares to the shapewear that these offer. They hold you in like no other legging can which is why year after year they make this list. I love the crackle look of the faux leather on these, its not too overpowering and gives just the right amount of edge. These run true to size or size up if you are in between or you want a little extra breathing room

16. Fiddle Fig Leaf Tree

I absolutely love my faux fiddle fig leaf tree. I kill every live plant I touch so this tree was right up my alley. I’ve had mine for two years and it still looks great. You will need a basket to put it in, otherwise stick him in the corner and add instant style to any room!

17. New Balance Sneakers

These sneakers have been my favorite comfy sneakers this year. I like them far more than the similar Adidas ones. They do run a tad small, I sized up 1/2 a size and they fit perfectly. They are lightweight and perfect for walking around the neighborhood or lounging around.

18. Amazon Hooded Sweatshirt

I have really loved testing out all the new Amazon clothing brands this year and Daily Ritual is one of my favorites. Their fabrics are top notch and always so comfy. This hooded sweatshirt is the coziest material. Not too heavy not too lightweight. Comes in lots of color options and runs true to size.

19. Amazon Ruffle Dress

This Amazon dress does not disappoint! Comes in a few color options and fits true to size. Every time I wear mine I get tons of compliments!

20. Amazon Gold Paperclip Necklace/Bracelet Set

I love the daintyness of this paperclip necklace set. I have worn mine for months and they have help up extremely well considering they are usually under $10! I love layering these with my other jewelry as well.

And there are the most popular items of 2020 as decided by YOU! If you want to see any of these pieces styled be sure to follow me Instagram or the Like To Know It app in the App Store. I can’t wait to see what 2021 hold for everyone! Happy New Year!

Having three kids is tough. Keeping up with everyone’s schedule is almost impossible. Football, hockey, baseball, soccer, dance, gymnastics, costume days at school and all the end of the year parties. It is INSANE! Ive started a system that works well for us and is all super affordable!

My Planner

My first line of defense when it comes to tackling everyone’s schedule is my planner. I have a weekly planner that I keep on my counter at all times. As soon as I book something it goes into my planner. Doctor appointments, practice schedules- you name it, it’s in there. I love the planner because there is ample space for every day of the year. It’s great for long term and short term planning. Check out my favorite planners below!

My Big Monthly Calendar

This is my calendar that I write everyone’s schedules on for the month. Each day has the time and event written down in dry erase marker. This huge calendar is in our mudroom so it gets looked at every time we enter the house and every time we leave the house. It is a great visual reminder of daily events going on. Everyone can quickly read it and it can’t get lost beneath papers on the counter! Below are some of my favorite dry erase calendars.

My Weekly Meal Planner

Dinners are the worst. Planning every night is such a pain if you do it on the fly, at least for me. I plan our meals out for the week and write them on the board. That way, no one can complain about what’s for dinner that night and I don’t have to think of a meal after a long day. Win win situation for everyone!

So there you have it! My organizational tips for your home. I use these every day along with my phone calendar of course. Every little bit helps when you are managing five people! Have a tips to staying oraganized? Let me know in the comments!

January was a month full of deals and steals! Below is a recap of my best selling items that I have posted throughout the month!

1. Spaghetti Strap Wide Leg Jumpsuit (Amazon, $22.99)

This jumpsuit was my number one most clicked on item all month. It is cute and casual along with being sooo comfortable! I am 5’4″ and the length fits me perfectly. It would would ok for anyone a few inches shorter or taller but definitely not made for the tall girls- I think it may fit weird but I could be wrong!

2. Racerback Jumpsuit (Amazon, $29.95)

This is my absolute favorite item ever purchased on Amazon. Hands down. The length is too long for me as you can see in the picture but I love it so much that I am getting it hemmed to fit. Which if you are a short girl, you always have to do! This jumpsuit is more dressy and would fit the taller girls! I easily have a few inches on the bottom to spare! I am wearing a small and it fits true to size, just a little long!

3. Short Sleeve Jumpsuit (Amazon, $25.99)

You all were loving jumpsuits this month! This short sleeve version wasn’t my favorite on my blog post but it is a great choice for anyone not comfortable enough showing their shoulders off! The length was perfect for me at 5’4″ but could easily fit a few inches shorter or taller. Again, probs not a good choice if you’re super tall. Sorry! I am wearing a small so it fits true to size. this is also a more casual fabric.

4. High Waisted Bikini (Amazon, $20.59)

Why have you not bought this suit yet? You guys, it’s amazing. The fabric is well made it covers my mommy tummy and the top stays put while I’m chasing my kids! And it’s $20. Just buy it, for the love. Hahaha! I ordered a small and it fits perfectly- I usually order mediums in bathing suits.

5. Striped Turtleneck (LOFT, $49.50 – usually on sale)

This turtleneck is the perfect shirt to take you from winter to spring! Layer it under sweaters, cardigans, jackets and vests for chillier weather or wear it on its own for spring! It has a thin, super soft fabric and runs true to size.

6. Striped Utility Button Down (LOFT, $59.50 – usually on sale)

This shirt is such a necessity in any wardrobe. It is black and white striped and the perfect fabric for winter or spring. I can see why this shirt made the list!!

7. Leather Laptop Backpack (Amazon, $29.99)

I wasn’t sure about this back pack when I first got it because I didn’t realize it was a laptop bag. But, once I filled it with my stuff I LOVE it! Its super cute and convenient. I hate toting around my huge diaper bag so this is a great alternative for me. And for under $30 you can’t beat it!

8. Striped Lace One Piece Swimsuit (Amazon, $28.99)

This is Amazon’s best selling one piece and it is super cute. I was not a huge fan of the amount of cleavage it showed. But I am also still nursing my baby so my chest is larger than what I am used to! Everyone seems to really love this suit. The fabric was really nice and thick so that is a definite plus!

9. Heather Blue Racer Back Work Out Tank (Amazon, $9.35)

This tank is such a great deal. Under $10, lots of color choices AND quality material. I have 2 colors and I’m probably going to buy another. Shh, don’t tell. I am wearing a small and it fits true to size.

10. Plush Star Sweatshirt (Target, $17.99)

My favorite shirt OF ALL TIME. This is the softest, cutest sweatshirt I own. It’t not bulky or heavy but still keeps you warm and cozy. Do yourself a favor and order this one. Just be sure to SIZE UP!!! I am wearing a medium and it fits me perfectly.

There you have it friends. Your top 10 items of the month!! Let me know what you buy and tell me how you like it!!!
