Editor’s Picks: April 2026

My 10-year-old recently got a Yoto Mini audio player and was instantly obsessed. As a family that travels fairly often, it’s exactly the kind of tech we’ve been looking for. It’s a screen-free option that allows my youngest who does not have a phone yet, listen to music and audiobooks offline. You simply purchase audio cards from a wide range of content including new release kids’ books for kids and tweens and even new music from the likes of Olivia Dean, connect the player to your phone or tablet via an app while you’re logged into wi-fi and then insert each card. Once the card is inserted, the content will download to the Yoto so that it can be listened to offline at any time. There’s no camera, no microphone, and no ads, so your kiddo will be totally safe from online predators. Oh, and we love that the Yoto offers free sleep sounds and has an “Ok-to-wake” clock and timers. One charge gets about 14 hours of play time, which is pretty awesome as well.

Childs Farm’s Blackberry & Apple Hair & Body Wash turns the nightly scrub-down into a juicy, bubbly adventure your little one will actually look forward to. The yummy fruity fragrance is long-lasting, while the gentle, tear-free formula cleanses from head to toe without any fuss. It’s perfect for sensitive skin kids, since it’s made with 96% natural origin ingredients, Vitamin E, and glycerin. It’s one product for hair and body — and it leaves skin hydrated and hair tangle-free. Dermatologist and pediatrician approved, Vegan Society certified, and Leaping Bunny approved, it’s as kind to the planet as it is to your child.

Whether you’re going on day trips with your little or traveling across the globe, the anti-theft crossbody bags from Arden Cove will be your best friend. The last thing want to have to worry about when you’ve got kids to keep track of on a family outing is pickpockets and thieves, so a good secure bag to keep all your essentials in is a must. The Myko by Arden Cove is great because it’s compact and cute, but still super functional and secure. Constructed with vegan leather and stylish details, it also features, an RFID-blocking built-in wallet to prevent digital theft, as well as a slash-resistant liner and straps. And those straps actually screw into the bag’s hardware, so they will not budge no matter how hard a thief might try.

Munchkin really never fails with their baby and toddler feeding products. I have got to say though I still use some of their products with my older kids and love them. Recently, the company released the Munchkin Snack Wheel, and I think it’s a perfect alternative to the usual lunch bag. Personally, my kids don’t eat much at lunchtime during school, so I’ve started sending them snack lunches and then they eat a bigger meal when they get home. This food container is perfect because it has five compartments, one of which can be used for dips or yogurt, it clicks closed so it doesn’t spill and contents don’t mix, and it has a convenient carrying strap. It kind of reminds me of the “snackle box” trend but with portion sizes for one kid rather than a gaggle of them. Oh, and it washes up super easy!

I really am raising a little mini-me. While I’m not necessarily a high-maintenance girlie, I do love having my nails done regularly. I’ve gone from at-home manicures to gel manicures at the salon to now, getting gel overlay once a month. My daughter asked to go to the nail salon with me all the time, but it’s so expensive, so I recently started letting her use press-on nails occasionally. Our favorites so far have been from Nail Reformation. These press-on nails are easy to apply, last for up to three weeks and are reusable. Plus, they come in countless designs, shapes, and lengths, so I can make sure whatever she wears is age appropriate. Plus, with each reusable set starting at around $18, they are super-affordable.

This adorable reversible skater dress from Hanna Andersson is practically two outfits in one: wear it as a sweet square neck or flip it around for a super cute V-neck faux wrap look. With vibrant, eye-catching prints made to stay bright wash after wash, just like all of our favorite Hannas, it’s the perfect pick for Easter and every twirly spring day that follows. Flutter raglan sleeves, a full gathered skirt, and an empire waist make it as fun to spin in as it is sweet to look at.

One whiff and you’re back in your mom’s kitchen. That’s the magic of Fabuloso, a scent so iconic it’s basically a childhood memory in a bottle. The beloved Lavender fragrance is pure nostalgia and so perfect for spring. But it’s not just a pretty scent. This 3-in-1 spray is a serious cleaner that cuts through grease, removes stains, and leaves every surface sparkling. Now it’s your turn to be the mom whose home always smells amazing.

Spring is calling, and you deserve to answer it looking absolutely radiant. Vacation’s Shimmer Oil SPF30 is the easiest way to look luxe in a second, just smooth it on and let the double-dose of gold shimmer make your skin look perfect and your mood instantly boosted. A pearlescent base glaze plus reflective gold flecks means your skin catches the light to look legit perfect. But it’s not just beautiful: with SPF30 broad spectrum protection, argan, marula and jojoba oils, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, this shimmer oil makes you glow and takes care of your skin. It’s dermatologist tested, reef-safe, and smells like a five-star poolside vacation. I’ve been slathering it on even just to work around the house. And I feel like a gilded queen!
