In here i have my favorite products both owned and what im saving up for that make my life easier or more fun in the case of the consoles. I do limit screen use for myself and then for my children but I don't believe in denying children access to mod...
Gaming
I'm a console gamer who finally jumped fully into the pc gaming world about 14 years ago. i love all kinds of game but mostly play things my young children can view… I save vermintide and project zombies for after bedtime.
With 2 kids its hard to get on my rig, but the steam deck allows me to have access to most of my games.
The switch is my favorite handheld console, the Oled version is my next upgrade.
This handheld add on the the switch is fantastic when your solo gaming and want ot relax on the couch while playing games and not use the little joycons that come with the switch
Its pastel oycons. What can i say I'm a sucker for pretty things.
I love having a controller with no stick drift. it really enhances gameplay and lowers stress.
Technology
Laptops ,cameras and tablets oh my! but realistically these are the items that I either own or are saving for to enhance my content creatin.
Asus has been my most dependable brand for my gaming set up and my primary monitors.
Full disclosure: I don't yet own this machine but it's been on my personal Wishlist for months. I see my macbook as a long term investment in my productivity for both content creation and for the logistics of being the primary domestic engineer of my...
I've been casually acquainted with iPad since the first generation of them came out in 2010, but i never owned my own as i figured there was no use case for my having a tablet of any kind… 14 years later my son has an ipad i will be upgrading the yea...
These earbuds help me through the piercing crying days with my oldest. putting pink noise on super low with transparency mode was enough to take the edge off toddler meltdowns and help me maintain my sanity an ability to be the parent I want to be an... to become reactive and irritable. I with the purple colorway was still up and availablr
I have ADHD and it makes keeping track of belongings embarrassingly difficult for a woman as close to age 40 as I am. Air tags are a life saver for my belongings and also when my oldest is off on his little adventures I can call an AirTag on him and ...
Content Creation
The tools I use to make Content online.
this is my dream camera, not just for content but because with two kids I want to record things like Christmas mornings and their personal milestones (events, graduations)
This is the tracking tripod I just put in my cart on valentines day to help with making content on my phone a little easier.
After spending a pretty penny for a real camera there's little point in pretending that its not worth putting in a case for protection and enhanced grip, Also I have 2 kids, I'd rather wipe jelly off a silicone case then a $800 camera.
The matching Recording Grip. It makes sense to me.
Clock Strikers is an Manga I really enjoy, and its one of the few times I'll spend money for the aesthetic of a things it's also been great for getting photos off my iPhone 12 when I finally filled it up.
Tech Accessories
The pieces that make the bigger tech work better.
I clip my AirTags to my purse, keys, wallet and jeep one extra clip to hide in my sons pockets.
I do game regualrly enough in the evening that having some cooling and more confortable cuffs around my headset are worth the expense.
I live for charging accessories. I'm forever running low on power for my things and because I'm considered a power user for my phone/tablet I have to make sure they my things are good to go not just for me but for my kids as well.
An awesome way to give a second life to small hard drives or to use a new one.
The official one is the only way. Get used if you must but I've tried the knock offs and they don't work. If you don't want to pay 1-2tb iPhone prices you don't have to with this and an SSD.
