LapGear Large Magnetic Dry Erase Board Lapdesk: The Secret Weapon of My Remote Routine

I have a large, cushy chair that I make my office because I don’t like to sit at a desk, and that means I need a comfortable but functional laptop desk.

I’ve tried them all. I never used the phone holder on the desk with phone storage I bought, and the bamboo desk with storage didn’t work because the pillow was too rigid. On top of that, I ended up with sticky notes along the right side, which wasn’t optimal, so I bought a small whiteboard to attach to the laptop desk.

Somewhere in my sear...

GumiSeao Pet Playpen Review — The Puppy Palace That Stole My Dog

Let me start by saying that I did not expect a $79 dog playpen that I bought on Amazon to kick off a household crisis. But, here we are.


Yes, the GumiSeao pet playpen is breaking my heart. Instead of the snuggly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel we used to have, our one-year-old pup is like a teenager hiding out in her bedroom. If you can’t tell, I have some feelings about it.


It seems like yesterday that we brought little Izzy home. In the weeks leading up to her arrival, I stocked up. We’d...

reMarkable 2 Review: A Love Letter (With a Few Red Marks)

There’s something relaxing about putting pen to paper. In my younger years, I could write pages and pages, whether it was notes, short stories, or books. But, after a bad case of tendinitis, it became clear that typing was easier on the hands, and that was when I kicked my spiral-bound notebook addiction for good.

When friends began showing up to writing workshops with a digital tablet called reMarkable, I was intrigued. Not only can you thicken the marker to make things easier on the hands,...

Evapolar evaCHILL Portable Air Conditioner Review

HVAC systems go out at the worst possible time.

In our case, we were packing to move when I noticed our thermostat kept going dark. It was a blown fuse. We’d flip it back on, only for it to go out again.

It turned out, some thingamabob in our relatively new unit needed to be replaced. No big deal…but, of course, the part had to be special ordered. And it was a holiday weekend. And temps were supposed to hit the 80s.

Sony ICD-PX370 Review: It’s Not Fancy, but It’s Fantastic

I’m going to be honest, I pretty much live with my Sony digital recorder by my side. I use it for dictating my novels, but it’s also handy when you need to brainstorm or set reminders for yourself.

I chose the Sony ICD-PX370 after doing some serious research. For the price tag, it’s tough to beat the quality. I made that purchase in September 2021 and used it every day, throughout the day, for a full three years before it stopped responding when I plugged it into my computer. Since I replaced it with an identical recorder six months ago, I’m well prepared to give you the scoop.
