'Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories' by Kelly Ripa

Kelly Ripa is one heck of a multitasking mama. She is the longstanding host of Live! With Kelly and Ryan, and she just released her first book. We have already torn through this book of essays, and it only became available last week!

PediPocket Blanket

This might look like a regular fleece blanket, but it has an innovative foot pocket. That means your feet will stay warm and covered as you snuggle up on the couch for football, the new Hocus Pocus flick, or anything else. This is essential for colder weather, and there's even a smaller version for kids!

Insta Natural Vitamin C Night Cream

With vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, you will wake up to a brighter and smoother complexion. I've been using this for a few weeks now and am happy to report that I look less tired than I feel in the mornings.

Aimee Kestenberg Speak Up Novelty Large Tote

This large tote is perfect for carrying diapers, a laptop, bottles, a change of clothes, makeup, and all the other stuff moms lug around on a daily basis. It's made from soft leather, has removable shoulder straps, and has the message "It's Cool to Be Kind" emblazoned on the front. In other words: This bag is perfect!

Pink Queen Oversized Sweater Dress

Fall means it's time for cozy sweaters, or even better, cozy sweater dresses like this one from Pink Queen. This chunky, oversize dress has a loose turtleneck and would look great paired with your favorite boots. It comes in the color seen here as well as 33 others.

Burt's Bees Limited-Edition Pumpkin Spice Lip Balm

Sure, we've got pumpkin spice lattes, but now we have pumpkin spice lip balm. This limited-edition version from Burt's Bees contains pumpkin, beeswax, and coconut oil to keep your lips hydrated and fall-weather ready!
