Shop 'N Tell: Product Recommendations from a Real Life "Shopaholic"! (according to my husband)

I'm Katrina: mom of 3 kiddos, 1 bonus kiddo, 1 dog, 2 cats, and 2 snakes...not to mention a wife. and a full-time corporate warrior in the glamorous world of risk management. (Because who doesn't love a challenge?) Life for me is a whirlwind of spreadsheets and presentations by day and sibling showdowns by night, all while trying to maintain some semblance of sanity. It’s an absolute madhouse, and I’m the ringmaster trying to keep it all together.

WHICH is why...like many others out there...my front porch is usually covered with Amazon packages (much to the daily dismay of my husband). In my defense, I don't really go in person to stores anymore if I can help it. Times have changed! Now I don't HAVE to wait 'til my next grocery run to pick up toothpaste or deodorant...I can just Amazon Prime it right on over today! And in fairness half of what I buy is basically just to try on and I only keep what I like, so it's not like all of those packages represent money spent :-)

But I figured with as much time as I spend reading Amazon reviews, trying different options, and returning what didn't work, I could at least share my results so others can benefit. At this point half of everything in my house probably came from Amazon. The rest is probably from Kohls, Target, Buckle, or Wayfair. I'll be taking you through the house, porch, and back yard to show you what has managed to survive this circus (so far), and I'll let you in on my new finds too!
