Where Did You Get That? Amazon Edition #ad

*I am an Amazon affiliate and make a commission from your purchases. Thank you for shopping with me 😊

I am a very talkative person 😂🤣 Most people that know me already know this! I did have to choose in middle school between best eyes and most talkative for the yearbook awards. I went with best eyes because I thought talking a lot was a bad characterization, turns out it’s not! 

I love to share with family, friends and heck even random people I don’t know yet about my opinions, favorite products and the what made my life more enjoyable things.

 I tend to try to find products that are in my opinion “better for you” than some conventional items. Like fragrance free, paraben free, more natural style stuff.  Not everything we have is like that at all but when I can I choose a product that’s more aligned with that and stick with it if it actually works. 

Here is a random list of some things I’ve had people ask me “Where did you get that” Amazon edition.

Clear shelves for Records in my teens room.

(Yes I do know this is not an ideal way to have a record stored 😂 but my teen likes the decorative look of it)

Scotch Felt Pads (furniture felt pads)

These are perfect to create a soft barrier between the wall and back of record

https://amzn.to/4iqLNbb

Floating Clear Shelves for Collectables. I tend to like clear shelving items in his room so things feel more like a pop of color and not a heavy wooden item on his walls.

Crosley Vintage Suitcase Record Player

https://amzn.to/3Dh5fIf

Replacement needles for the record player (we found that it needed a new needle shortly after, not sure if my teen was rough with it or what but it sounded better with this new upgraded needle)

https://amzn.to/4h4gnpW

Pyrex Glass Water bottle: I get asked about this product a lot at work. I like glass better than plastic. I’ve dropped theses no breakage but the top is a tad sensitive to the open button. I have accidentally opened them a few times leading to a minor spill but worth the extra caution to not have plastic.

https://amzn.to/4ijO4ok

Glass Mason Jar Pitcher: Perfect for sun tea in the summer and hot tea in the winter. I always prefer glass containers over plastic. I’d prefer a silicone lid on this, still looking into that. This is a nice size since it can fit easily in the fridge.

https://amzn.to/4khcJfb

Homeschooling has become an increasingly popular educational choice for families around the world. With the flexibility and personalized approach, homeschooling allows parents to create tailored learning experiences for their children. Just like traditional schooling, homeschooling requires certain supplies to enhance the educational process. In this article, we will explore some essential school supplies that can greatly benefit homeschooling families. Specifically, we'll focus on the usefulness of flash cards, notebooks, tactile toys and workbooks in creating an engaging and effective learning environment.

1. Flash Cards:

Flash cards are versatile tools that make learning fun and interactive. They are compact and easy to use, making them ideal for homeschooling. Flash cards can be used in various subjects, such as math, language arts, science, and foreign languages. They help reinforce concepts, improve memory retention, and develop critical thinking skills. With vibrant visuals and concise information, flash cards engage learners and enable them to review and practice key ideas independently.

Notebooks also allow students to express their thoughts and ideas, aiding in the development of writing skills and critical thinking abilities. They serve as valuable records of a student's progress and can be used as study materials in the future.

While traditional school settings often incorporate hands-on activities, homeschooling families can achieve a similar experience with tactile toys. These toys engage students' senses and provide a hands-on approach to learning. Tactile toys can include building blocks, puzzles, models, and other manipulatives. They are particularly useful for subjects like math and science, where physical interactions with objects can deepen understanding and promote problem-solving skills. Tactile toys also offer a break from screen time and stimulate creativity in young learners.

Workbooks come in a wide range of subjects, including math, language arts, science, social studies, and more. They provide a comprehensive curriculum resource that ensures coverage of key topics and skills. Workbooks also serve as a tangible record of progress, allowing parents and students to track their achievements and identify areas for improvement. With their structured format and interactive exercises, workbooks complement homeschooling lessons and provide a valuable tool for independent study.
