I won’t sugarcoat it—2025 was filled with extreme highs and lows. It was a year that taught me something I’ll carry with me forever: it’s okay to feel deep joy and deep sorrow at the same time. And through it all, this community showed up in the most meaningful way. Your support, encouragement, messages, and shares lifted me (and us) when it was needed most, and I am endlessly grateful for every single one of you.
Shop the Best of Amazon Beauty
Thank you for supporting MKMMBI, for cheering me on, and for sharing this space with your family and friends. It means more than you know.
Before we dive into 2026, let’s take a look back at the best of 2025. I love that my family’s tried-and-true favorites ended up being your favorites, too. Amazon continues to be my go-to (hello, same-day delivery), and it’s no surprise that this year’s best sellers were practical, everyday items that actually make life easier. I don’t call myself the Queen of Practical Finds for nothing 🤣
The Best of Shop My
While Amazon will always have my heart (same-day delivery forever 🙌), I definitely shop at plenty of other stores, too. One of the trickiest parts of sharing non-Amazon favorites is that so many items—especially clothing and shoes—are seasonal and don’t stick around for long.
I started using Shop My as my main platform for sharing everything not on Amazon, and the feedback from you has been amazing. It’s easy to use, simple to shop, and makes finding my tried-and-true recommendations so much easier—for both creators and consumers.
This section is a roundup of the best of the best: items you can find year-round, that are practical, high-quality, and truly worth recommending. Think less scrolling, fewer impulse buys, and more “oh wow, that’s actually useful.”
The Top Blog Posts of 2025
I really leaned into blogging in 2025. While it’s not always my comfort zone, I love having the space to explain why I love what I’m sharing—not just what to buy. From movies and books to gift guides, travel ideas, and everyday mom life finds, I’m so grateful that these posts helped make your life a little easier (and a lot more fun).Food guides were especially popular in 2025, so you can expect even more of that content in 2026. Because if there’s one thing kids are always going to do… it’s ask for a snack five minutes after they just ate. Those kids are always hungry 🤣
The Top Instagram Posts of 2025
In 2025, I found my rhythm on Instagram again. I leaned back into creating collages, sharing more real-life tips and tricks, and sprinkling in plenty of funny, this-is-mom-life humor—because if we can’t laugh at it, what are we even doing? 🤣
One of the biggest highlights was the Back-to-School Decluttering Challenge, which turned into such a fun and motivating experience for this community. Seeing so many of you jump in, share your progress, and tackle the chaos together was truly the best part. And yes—it’ll be back and better than ever in 2026.
Thank you for every save, share, comment, and message. Your support is what makes this space feel less like social media and more like a group of moms cheering each other on.
