Oh my goodness, the pain of someone else in your household using cute, light colored towels to wipe up dark-colored spills resonates with me SO HARD. Why can't they think to use a rag or at least a darker colored kitchen towel!?
The lemon squeezer. I thought it was foolish when my husband bought it. "Why can't you just use your hands to squeeze, and a few seeds never hurt anyone." Now, when I can't find it and have to squeeze the lemon with my hand, I'm reminded that lemon juice in tiny cuts is a surefire way to make me a whiny grump, and I abhor biting into a rogue seed. Also, a spoon rest. Instead of being practical, I bought a hand made ceramic one, which means hand wash only. But I love it, I love having a place to set the stirring spoon, and I really love less gross counter clean up.
I was also late to the air fryer game but with 2 kids having soccer practice during 4 days of dinner-times I got a 2-basket ninja and have been using it all the time for faster meal prep, especially sides (potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower) all come out crispy and delish.
I also love cute towels and have someone in my home who will grab them to clean up anything. I always have a cute towel and a heavy duty towel out so we can enjoy both.
Your writing is art! “we can do a few things to prep our environs” ... environs !? You made my morning! Phenomenal sharing with real actionable advice and supplies. Thank you xo
This was life changing to me, with a big family and lots on the agenda it , I am able to press the tofu overnight while I sleep! Crispy tofu made easy, no more stacking old textbooks and kitchen towels to get the access water out! It has a grid on one side to help you cut nice stops or cubes. You can unit to marinate too!

oooh thank you for sharing, I've been debating a tofu press but then got overwhelmed with the options. Good to see one that comes personally recommended!
We're posted overseas and I use a digital scale all the time for butter! Outside the US, butter comes in blocks (250 g, 500g etc). That are giant flat rectangles (I had to get a new butter dish too), that have no (gasp) tablespoon markers....so in order to bake/cook without us drowning in pools of butter (worse ways to go), I have a nifty tbsp to grams chart and measure out the butter on my digital scale.
I love you, Caissie 💕 You make me laugh and influence me to buy cute shit I need. I’ve been ogling kitchen towels for a month and being my truest self(indecisive af). Well, I added those mofos to cart which is the first of multiple steps for me for actually purchasing a thing.

I also have a hand made ceramic spoon rest (shaped like a curled-up cat) and the amount of joy it brings me is definitely worth the hand washing!
I'm so relieved it is autumn at long fucking last. Huzzah!
Aww, that is so amazing about cards from you mom. 💚
Thank you for the Rakuten link! I used it to buy photo albums I wanted! A win-win!
YAY!!! I truly love Rakuten.
I can't find the link to your nesting bowls?
