Amazon Box Springs

At one point in the process of redecorating the girls’ room, I worried it wouldn’t be finished before they finished high school. But, somehow the backorders and delays have passed and the end is in sight! As part of this whole redo, we transitioned the girls to twin beds (which obviously made me sob) and we went with these box spring bed bases from Amazon. They are durable, lightweight and amazingly easy to put together.

Fabric Shaver

If you’re pulling out your winter knits for the season and finding that they’re looking a little less than fresh, this fabric shaver is a must. It’s rechargeable and quickly removes all of the fuzz, lint and pilling. This fabric shaver is also strong enough to tackle sturdier fabrics like coats, linens, or even car cushions. It’s definitely the quickest (and most cost-effective) way to breathe new life into your fading knits and unlike your fabric shavers of yore, it’s rechargable!

Pearl Beaded Airpod Strap

Things I Bought And Liked recently inspired me to find a strap for my AirPods in an attempt keep from constantly losing them (something I do 3-5 times a day). I found these beaded lanyards that can affix to any phone or camera or keychain and (obviously) opted for the pearl option. Now, my airpods can be easily found at the bottom of a tote or can be worn around my wrist when necessary.

Miele Canister Vacuum

We bought this Miele canister vacuum back in June and I thought it was absurd to spend this much on a vacuum, but our new cleaning lady (who comes to us with a long career of expertise) insisted. I echo the glowing review laid out in this article by an author who apparently had the same experience with a cleaning lady who insisted on it. The most spot-on line: “While Dyson has that British sex appeal, futuristically garish design, and woohoo-what-a-cool-invention marketing strategy, Miele’s vacuums have nothing but blunt German know-how.” Amen. The Marin style is available in five colors…

Whether you’re assisting your kids in a delicate art project or actually looking to hang said art project on the fridge, you’re going to want to check out this magnetic tape. It has light adhesive on one side and a light magnet — perfect for photos and paper — on the other side. This tape is easy to tear and stick anywhere magnetic, like filing cabinets, lockers or whiteboards.

Webcam Cover

I spend much of my workday hopping between zoom, google meet, teams and an ever-increasing number of other video conferencing platforms. There’s nothing worse than thinking you’re joining an audio-only call only to be surprised that you’re actually on camera. I prefer to safeguard against the guesswork with these webcam covers which are a simple, sleek way to secure your privacy when working on your laptop. They’re ultra-thin and won’t prevent your laptop from opening smoothly. They’re compatible with most laptops, phones and tablets and are quite a bit sleeker than the post-it I was using.

Butter Spreader

No, I’m not talking about a regular butter knife. This stainless steel butter spreader is so much more. Yes, it can cut butter and spread peanut butter and jelly. But, this ergonomically designed tool has small slotted holes down the blade that can curl hard butter. If you’re tired of annihilating a beautiful, golden piece of toast by trying to spread cold, hard butter on it, this tool is a must-have.

LED Motion Sensor Lights

You know those products that come into your life and you wonder how you ever lived without them? These motion-sensor LED lights are definitely one of those products. Instead of using batteries, they are USB rechargeable and can be placed practically anywhere with stick-on adhesive tape — your hall closet, under your kitchen sink, garage storage, bathroom, baby nursery — you name it. I’ll never show you the chaos that is my bedside table, but I stuck these lights on the back of it and they’ve been incredible.

Swivel Casters

The Amazon swivel casters in this video are life-changing. They are easy to stick on and hold up to 18 pounds, which is perfect for small kitchen appliances or coffee makers. We use our Vitamix blender every day for smoothies and I hate dragging it back and forth across our counter. Putting these mini caster wheels on it has been game-changing.

Anywhere Cup Holder

This anywhere cup holder is an oldie but SUCH a goodie. It holds drinks, snacks, phones, remotes, everything. I use it like crazy while breastfeeding to keep drinks in arm’s reach. It’s also an amazing thing to have in bed anytime you’re working or watching a movie if your nightstand is a little too far out of reach. We use the holder in the car, on the sofa, or even when we have picnics with the girls on the living room floor.
