In our world of stand mixers, air fryers, blenders and so many other small appliances that require cords, it just gets messy. I saw a post in Instagram that featured these clever little 3M cord organizers. I went to Amazon and found them featured here: Cord Organizer for Kitchen Appliances.

For $7.99 I could get three of them, and if they weren’t great, I could toss them or send them back. They arrived in a couple of days and were immediately put to use. They are a softer rubber so they mold to curve of the appliances. We put one on our food processor, stand mixer and blender, and now there are no more unsightly cords getting in the way. It’s only been a couple of days, but I think these will last quite a while, afterall they are 3M and did adhere very well.

I’ve never been a fan of a countertop dish rack, they take up prime counter space and never look neat. However, having a dish drying rack would be really convenient, especially for a quick wash up in the morning. I always have my juice glass, and Dean has his Bialetti moka pot and cup. Having a place to put them would be great, without having to dry them and put them away.

One day I was browsing Instagram and saw this drying rack. Could it be the answer to my drying rack woes? I went on Amazon and read through the reviews, looked at the pictures, and thought for $25.00 US, Prime free shipping, and free returns, I had nothing to lose!

It arrived the first week of January, and we’ve been using it since. It is great because it takes up very little space, is easy clean, and is small enough that it doesn’t allow for clutter.

Earlier this month I was shopping on Amazon, and at the top of the page there was an ad for the Amazon Smart Plug, it was on special for .99 cents with a promo code. I had thought about getting one of these plugs, but never wanted to spend $24.99. I clicked the ad and put the plug in my cart, I immediately went to check out, because this had to be too good to be true. I typed in the promo code and when I hit enter the price dropped to .99 cents! I checked out and knew Prime would have it to my door in 2 days.

I knew exactly where the plug was going to be used in our home. We have a floor lamp in the corner of the living room and being able to control it verbally would be awesome. I put the Amazon Smart Plug in the outlet, and opened the Alexa app on my phone. It was easy to find the plug, install the plug on our network, and once the lamp was plugged in all I had to say was, “Alexa, turn on first plug”. Voila, let there be light! Say the phrase again, and out goes the light. Amazing!

This is a great product, and I know we will get another one for the master bedroom. If I see it go on special again I’ll be sure to post it.
