A few items below were tried out for review purposes, they didn’t make the list if they didn’t earn it though – everything included in today’s post really is the best!
Hence forth I’ve decided that January is my month to rest, recalibrate, and reflect. December is FULL and January is officially my month to un-full myself. Not a word, but the perfect idea just the same.
So, as I unpack last year – so good, so busy – it seemed quite fitting to recap the best of the best! Things I loved, things the kids loved … all. that. jazz.
Home
- I’ve tried bread bags and cross my heart Keeki is the best of the best
- With a 60 day money back guarantee you can’t go wrong with trying the Marshmaloo Pillow, I loved it and then a very sweet teen “stole” it from me
- Currently $100 off, the Sans Air Purifier has done WONDERS for my allergies
- Hoping to never use our fire blankets, but glad we have a few strategically placed around the house now

Beauty
- Bracelet + hair tie + gobs of choices – we love K’lani

- My latest Kristin Harmel, five stars for The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau
- Dark and mysterious with an ending that I didn’t expect, Wild Dark Shore is a must on audio

- The boys’ daily read
Travel
- I’ve been on the lookout for a window breaker but a 7-in-1 multi-tool? That makes even more sense! Thanks Limitless Innovations!
