Shark Pet Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum

Just when you thought youā€™d heard every stick vacuum review I could possibly write, I hit you with another one.  We bought the Shark Pet Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum and here is my honest review. Hereā€™s the scoop.  We LOVED our Dyson stick vacuum.  But the dang battery doesnā€™t last long.  Not as in it doesnā€™t […]

Pet Food Storage

The pet feeding and watering station recently moved from the laundry room to the kitchen.  Which Iā€™ll explain shortly.  But the pet food storage situation was quite unattractive and needed some attention if it was going to remain in such a prominent space in the house. Weā€™ve had some litter box issues the past few […]

Costco Haul and RecommendationsĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 

Today Iā€™m sharing a portion of our Costco haul and recommendations on what we like. My allergies have been insane this month and I needed some more generic Allegra.  Costco has the best price on that (cough, cough) so we took the plunge and headed there on a Sunday morning.  Everyone who doesnā€™t go to […]

Target Dollar Spot

The Target Dollar Spot really delivered during a recent shopping trip.  I had as much fun as a kid in a candy store and I brought a small haul home. To be quite frank, our Target is in the hood.  No offense if you live in the hood, of course.  But when I visit other […]

Winter Patio and Excellent Online Customer Service

A bit warmer, dryer weather led to a winter patio spruce up.  My honest report on some excellent online customer service after all the holiday hoopla! The holidays gifted us with a lot of rain.  I pulled all the cushions under the patio cover and we hunkered inside for about a week. The firepit beckons […]

First of the Year Shopping

My anxiety-driven spending frenzy seems to be quelled, but I did do a bit of first-of-the-year shopping and want to share a couple of great bargains and highly recommended items. Banana Republic Girlfriend Jeans & Sweatshirt I never find petite sizes at BR so I never go into their outlet near our home, but I […]

Very Minimal Christmas Decorating

Letā€™s get this weekend started, shall we?  Saying I need some downtime is a gross understatement.  Iā€™ll share my less-than-wonderful-week with you shortly.  But on the positive side Iā€™m going to share my very minimal Christmas decorating involving almost no shopping.    For Christmas decorations, that is.  Not to say I didnā€™t shop this week.  […]

Walmart Bedding Honest Review (and a Couple Other Finds)

A warm, wintery look in my bedroom is always on tap after our long Arizona summers.  But since we donā€™t have that long of a winter season, I really donā€™t want to make a huge dollar investment and then feel saddled to expensive bedding for the next ten years. Bedding that will look nice all […]

Sephora Haul and My First Impressions

I probably should have shared this information before the Sephora 30% sale ended, but this is the first time Iā€™ve tried their brand and I was a little late to the party.  So this is part of my Sephora Haul (meaning I actually bought more than Iā€™m blogging about) and my first impressions. Hereā€™s a […]

A Little November Shopping

Iā€™m not much of a shopper anymore.  If you donā€™t count the damage I do online, of course.  But I just donā€™t get out to the shops.  This week I took a couple of hours and visited the shops in the Norterra area and thought Iā€™d share a little November shopping since it’s not something […]
