File this under: “stuff I bought for my family” – The Joy of Cooking (hardcover).
Tuesday - March 2, 2021
I actually have bought TWO hardcover copies of the Joy of Cooking since the pandemic started! One was purchased for Avi (my 16 year old) since a primary learning activity for him during the pandemic has been teaching himself to cook. I then bought a second copy for my ...

Tuesday - March 2, 2021
I bought this glass digital bathroom scale for my family this past winter (when we were staying in Maine). It was very serviceable and came at a good price. I don't have any concern for Lead in products like this (although if you use regular batteries - there is Lead ...

Tuesday - March 2, 2021
These are the organic cotton down comforters I bought for my family this winter. Our old comforters were purchased in 2015/2016 (from Costco) and are pretty worn out - so everyone needed a new one. We'll see how long these last, but in the meantime the kids are very ...

File this under: “stuff I bought for my family” – electric pencil sharpener.
Tuesday - March 2, 2021
This is our absolute favorite pencil sharpener and we use it every day in our home (my 12-year old son Charlie uses colored pencils as his preferred art medium - so we usually sharpen pencils every day.) We bought our first one about 4 years ago and my son (A.J.) took ...

File this under: “stuff I bought for my family” – packing tape dispenser guns.
Tuesday - March 2, 2021
I got sick of arguing with my husband over which tape gun was mine and which was his (and "where the hell did the last person to use it put it?").... so I caved and bought some new tape guns this year. Now we each have our own and they work well! This is something we ...

File this under: “stuff I bought for my family” — clear glass mugs (Lead-free!)
Tuesday — March 2, 2021
I liked these so much I bought them twice! I bought a set for our home in Portland and bought a second set for my son's apartment in Boston (for him to use in his college apartment with his roommates). These are my favorite mugs because not only are they Lead-free, but ...

File this under: “stuff I bought for my family” – Large format desk calendar / wall calendar
Tuesday - March 2, 2021
I really love paper calendars far too much. The bigger the better. Now that I also have a broken leg and am spending most of my time on the couch with my leg raised above my heart I wanted to make sure I got one I could easily read from the couch. For some reason the ...

Tuesday - March 2, 2021
While we don't currently have a dishwasher, I used to buy this brand when we did and I still buy these for my son (who is away at college.) My agreement with my kiddo (who is 18 and living in Boston in an apartment with four young music students) is that I cover up to ...

Tuesday - March 2, 2021
This week I bought these for my 12 year old son Charlie (and for me too - I actually bought three sets). My son's art desk is cluttered with so much stuff I thought these would be a fun way to organize and store some of the things he likes to glue together for art ...
