πŸ“¦ ✨ Some of my favorite purchases


Hi Reader -

We just got back from our very quick, but very nice, trip to Ludington, MI. The laundry is in progress, the kids are ready for bed, and I'm browsing through Prime Day deals.

I wanted to share some of my most-loved purchases. Not random things that happen to be on sale, but my actual favorites.

  • I used to try to cut pills with a butter knife but this little gadget is so much more accurate.
  • This pill container fits perfectly in my purse and holds a lot. It's great for traveling.
  • These bathroom organizers make me feel like I have my life together when I look in the cupboard.
  • I bought this humidifier last year after debating it for a long time. I love it can go through the dishwasher (no gross mold) and I wake up less stuffy when I run it.
  • ​This sunscreen is all I wear on my face in the summer. And it has lasted a long time.

🏑 Home & Yard

  • I bought these solar lights in April & still love them.
  • This glass diffuser looks so nice on my desk.
  • This rechargeable headlamp has gotten a lot of use from fixing things to crocheting lol
  • I love this vacmop so much that I bought my mom one & she loves it, too! I use it daily but I don't use the solution it comes with, just vinegar water.
  • I love that this spin mop keeps my clean/dirty water separate.
  • Silly & cute, we love these remote covers & they help us not lose the remotes.

✈️ Travel

  • I loveee my Kindle.
  • This toiletry bag stays packed with my travel size things so when a trip comes up, everything is ready.
  • This little umbrella stays in my car & has saved me many times.
  • This backpack holds a ton, including my laptop, and is the perfect carry-on.

⍰ Question for you

I'm shopping for a robot vacuum but there are wayyy more than I realized & I'm getting overwhelmed. If you have one you love (or don't love), can you let me know?!

Shopping for anything specific? I'm happy to help you look!

Good night :)

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! As much as I love summer break, I forgot how hard working from home while juggling kids/appointments, etc. is. I'm missing my regular routines!

Hi Reader, I have something a little different to talk about today. Last night, I was at my parent's house for dinner and my dad showed me a funny monkey video, that happened to be AI, which sparked a discussion about AI content on the internet. I'm sure you've noticed your search results and feeds on Google, Pinterest, and Facebook are flooded with AI-generated content (here's a video I shared of how trashy my feed is lately). Or...maybe you haven't noticed and that's also a problem. It's...
