Your home should make you happy. I live in the city and our space is limited. I don't have space for 20 kitchen gadgets so I only keep and use what works. It's quality over quantity. Here are some of my favs home essentials. I have all of these in my home. Tested and approved!
This list has everything you will need for moving into your first, second or third year dorm! Functional and aesthetic, you'll have the room everyone wants to hang in.
Getting ready for college move-in can feel overwhelming, and most lists either overdo it or miss the things you actually need.
This is a realistic dorm essentials list based on what freshmen really use every day, what they forget, and what makes dorm life easier and more comfortable.
Whether you’re a parent or student, this list will help you avoid last-minute Target runs and move in with confidence.
Things you'll find around my house that I really like, organized by room and/or use. Hopefully you find something that can make your life enriched too!
This list is tools everyone should have in their home or apartments. Great for everyday light repairs and little fixes. I chose budget friendly items, but you can always buy big name brands if you want.
Getting the house guest-ready is half the battle of the holidays, and this is my organization game plan. It covers the viral pantry bins and fridge organizers for the pre-hosting reset, closet and entryway upgrades so guests actually have somewhere to hang a coat and stash shoes, and the gift wrap, ornament, and tree storage that makes packing up in January painless. Budget-friendly picks start under $20, most core organizers run $25-50, and there are a couple of bigger upgrades — a farmhouse shoe cabinet and a full closet system — for the serious declutter. Made for moms hosting this year, anyone doing a fall reset before the decorations come out, or gifting the friend who loves an organized pantry.
