The Best Amazon Purchases of 2019

With most of my November Prime purchase being Christmas gifts I didn't want to share much of what I've been Priming but I did think it would be fun to look back through EVERYTHING I've purchased on Amazon and come up with a best of list for the year.



1.  I loved this top so much I actually ordered it in a few different colors!

2.  This may sound a bit dramatic but I swear this pineapple slicer has changed my life!  We now eat 2-3 pineapple a week and prepping them takes just minutes.  I love it so much. 


3. This adorable top is still one of my favorites. Paired with jeans or dress pants it can be dressed up or down. 



4.  We have become a Yeti family and we all LOVE these Yeti tumblers.  I honestly don't think we ever leave home without them anymore.  Evan after hiking (and leaving them in the car while we do!) we have a nice cold drink waiting for us. 



5.  I don't normally say this about bathing suits but I just loved this one I bought over the summer.  It fits great and stays put too. 


6. We love playing games together as a family and this is the best game we've purchased in awhile.  Trekking the National Parks has actually made me a bit anxious to start crossing more of them off our list!



7.  This cashmere sweater comes in so many colors and it's so soft! 



8.  My husband and I just love the softness of these sheets and they've held up so well after many washes too. 
8.  I feel like I lived in this jumpsuit all summer long; it is so soft, so comfy and I got so many compliments on how well it fit too.  


10.  We bought this WiFi Range Extender and I am kicking myself for not having purchased it sooner.  We now have good, strong WiFi in every room of our house. 


11. Out of all the fun and flowy tops I found on Amazon this year (and there were a lot!) this one is still one of my absolute favorites. 


12.  This waterproof phone case has been wonderful and I can now take my phone everywhere with us without worrying about ruining it. It comes in many colors and fits most phones.

      They had a lightening deal in April and I got that game for 1/2 price (or nearly 1/2 price!).. otherwise I wouldn't have bought it either. If I ever see it go on sale I'll try to remember to let you know. It's fun. I love my wifi extender; makes using the laptop effortless everywhere in our house now.

    I need that WiFi extender in my life, I'm ordering it now. Our WiFi is not dependable throughout the house, and it makes me insane!

      It works so much better than any other pineapple gadget I've ever bought. I can literally have the whole pineapple done in under two minutes and I don't need to use any force either!

      I know; I had to laugh that we had the same one! I know that Jen from the Bolin Bunch has it too as I first saw a review on her site. It's pretty popular I guess.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
