Today I’m sharing some things I “Primed” recently. It is a random assortment of things for around the house, to meal replacement shakes to pool safety items.

Handheld Milk Frother

I LOVE this little gadget! I am obsessed with frothy, smooth and creamy coffee and this little gizmo does the trick. I have a Nespresso machine that comes with a milk frother, but you can only make hot milk.

With this tool, you can froth up almond milk, your favorite creamer – I love using this frother for my iced coffees.

They have so many cute colors, but I stuck with black because it matched my coffee machine.

Retractable Gates

We have an above ground pool and we have been thinking of ways to create a barrier that is not to clunky (like a metal gate) or too permanent that gets in the way of access/jumping from the deck into the pool.

I thought a retractable gate would be nice – thing is, we have a lot of area to cover, so I will be attaching 3 separate units with these zip ties

I got this idea from a retractable gate site that was charging $150 per gate (I would need 3…yikes) so I found similar ones for half the price and will just link these up the same way they do!

We are completely aware these gates are not for pool safety, I purchased these to provide an extra layer of security to give us more peace of mind when we are all on the pool deck or the kiddos are outside. We do have a lock system on our gate, but you can never be too cautious. My fear is one of the kiddos tripping and falling into the pool.

Sticking with my retractable trend….

Retractable Clothesline

I have ALWAYS wanted a clothesline, but never wanted to deal with it being an eye sore. I thought, how neat would this be to run between our pool deck and fence and unhook and recoil when not in use! I figured we could use this for drying our pool towels particularly, but I can’t wait to dry all sorts of things – mostly sheets and towels!

Desk Rug

We have finished furnishing our home office (aka, our bedroom) and I love how it turned out!

I got this desk chair from Wayfair – it is extremely comfortable and gorgeous

This rug ties in all the colors of our bedroom!

Toddler Girl Gift

It is my niece’s 3rd birthday today and this little flower garden building set is DARLING!

Coffee Bar Stir Sticks

You know I love swapping out my coffee stand seasonally, and these stir sticks will make the perfect addition to my summer decor!

Garden of Life

I’ve yet to jump on this bandwagon, but my husband has this vegan meal replacement EVERY MORNING. He adds chia seeds to it as well. I could see myself making a smoothie including this powder if I do decide to jump on board…

Hair Cutting Shears

During quarantine, I’ve cut my son’s hair and assisted my husband with buzzing his. At the time, we didn’t have the proper scissors, so I am hoping I can perfect my craft.

My mother-in-law cut everyone’s hair in their household growing up (5 boys and my sister-in-law’s hair) – they talk about how much money was saved by her cutting it for them…basically, A LOT! Trying to follow in her footsteps!

One Piece Swimsuit

I ordered this one piece monokini swimsuit to add to my rotation. This suit got amazing review and comes in all sorts of colors. I do like how it looks on me, it covers all the right areas!
