Sonnenglas solar jars
These solar jars are made in South Africa by a really neat company and are SO well made!
We’ve tried every solar jar out there and these stand the test of time. You flip a magnetic dot on top to complete the circuit to turn off and they turn themselves off after 4 hours. They are weather proof and look great on tables, in trees, on fences, along driveways or anywhere!
DUCK FEET WOOL-LINED BOOTS
the ARHUS shearling wool-lined leather boot! and the Tall version called the SILKEBORG.
I swear by these boots all fall and winter to keep my feet warm, dry and so cozy. They have a thick rubber sole with great traction, easy to slip on and off, clean up if I get them muddy and are so comfortable! European sizing, I’d say true to size but the shearling will mold to your foot so maybe size down if in between sizes.

The ProTeam Commercial Vacuum
After trying every vacuum out there - THIS is the holy grail of vacuums! It’s basically a super powerful shop-vac you wear on your back with a super long extension cord. It will power through ranch life level dirt, doesn’t clog, easy to empty the dirt in the bag and keeps on trucking. The ProTeam Commercial Vacuum - it’s usually around $400 depending on the model, it’s worth it! And it’s on SALE right now!
Resistol Ride Safe Helmet
Safety first, especially on horseback and we love these Resistol “RideSafe” cowboy hat style helmets! Helmets are not always common in ranching or rodeo sports…. but these helmets are built super tough AND look much more like a traditional cowboy/girl hat than a helmet! My girls give them two thumbs up.
Small RideSafe (younger girls)
Medium or Large RideSafe (bigger girls / adult)
Five Marys Carhartt Favorites Collection!
Mary’s Kitchen Favorites
The Instant Pot
A great tool for the kitchen with so many uses! I love it for cooking quick rice, homemade applesauce, soups & stews and so much more.
The Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt (7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer.)
Slow Cooker - All-Clad Gourmet Plus 7-Qt. Slow Cooker
More than simply a slow cooker, this all-in-one machine also steams, browns and sautés, then keeps the finished dish at the ideal temperature for serving. From braises and stews to soups, chili and rice dishes, the Gourmet Plus is easy to use, turns out predictably delicious results and now features a metal-safe, nonstick ceramic coating.
Easy-to-use control panel and digital display.
7-qt insert features a metal-safe, nonstick ceramic coating; removes for easy cleanup.
Six cooking programs include Slow Cook, Brown, Steam, Rice Simmer and Buffet.
Three slow-cook modes – Low, Hi/Lo and High – with independent temperature controls and countdown timer.
10-hour programmable timer.
Juicer - for Green Juice!
I LOVE this heavy duty, Professional Centrifugal Juicer by Waring. I’ve tried a lot of them and this one holds up the best, it’s easy to clean and a real powerhouse. It’s usually around $699, so it’s an investment! But if you are going to juice often or want one that will never break - this is your juicer.
If you are looking for a more budget friendly, but still well-made Juicer - I’ve also used this Cuisinart Juice Extractor.
And here is my favorite Green Juice Recipe!
Welly First Aid
I love this brand and the message behind their high-quality first aid-supplies and “bravery bandages”! They come in cute and super functional (as in the lids really snap on tight and stay on!) reusable tins great for storage or re-filling with their refill packs.
I keep a tin in every vehicle with all the first aid essentials and send the girls to school with one in their backpack with some hair-ties and a little note from mom too.

Our Favorite Family Board Games
These are some of our favorite games and puzzles to play at home as a family - just having a stack of board games out makes it so much more likely the girls will pick one up and start playing and we have some of the best family nights around a board game.
