I have very few aesthetic items in my house but I LOVE this. The seal is great and they’re durable.

If you’re in need of a stand mixer that doesn’t break the bank, this one fits the bill! I make doughs, cake and cookie batters, and more in here with no problem.

These are sturdy AND comfortable. My kids have knocked them over several times and they hold strong. Plus they’re easy to wipe down.
Cozyman 25.2" Wood Bar Stools Set of 4
If you needs a kids’ table for dining or just play, this one is ideal if you’re looking for good quality and an easy wipe down. I’ve taken to this with a Scrub Mommy and it still holds up.

Living Room
One of the lost versatile pieces on my house. I have two of these and I’ve used them as book and knickknack storage, and currently use them to store towels and sheets! I also have the four cube versions.

Bedroom Furniture
This is the PERFECT bed frame for teens. The LED lights have been on almost constantly since it was purchased and we have had no problems. Not to mention the charging ports and shelving available.

Love the storage in this one. Great for a short vanity.

Let’s just say, I know the weight limit, and so far it holds even more than that!

When five out of six family members where glasses, a tool kit like this with backup pieces is essential!
120 PCS Eyeglass Repair Kit with Screws & Tools
The adhesive on these is great (not too strong or weak) and they’re slim enough to fit beneath glasses if needed.

Enhancements!
I’m a glutton for organization and strive to be minimalist. These items enhance our daily life by providing value while meeting our needs.
Comes in various sizes. I love the magnetic closure on this since my littles are coming in and out frequently.
Iduontis Magnetic Screen Door 36x82in
This chalkboard is large enough to track all the activities of our busy household, and the notes sections allows me to add items to a running grocery list or keep important items nearby with the magnets.
