Despite the fact that Gmail has a wide variety of features (including templates and email snooze), my favorite is Gmail’s scheduling feature. Gmail allows me to schedule emails to be sent at a specific time of day … several days in advance, if necessary! It’s a huge time-saver and allows me to quickly cross this…
HOKA shoes and Oofos flip-flops — two of my favorite pieces of footwear. The brand of sport crop pants (also called capris) that I wear all summer long is FILA. They’re comfortable and perfect for walking. But since it’s hard to find good photos of those, I decided to just share a picture of my…
Image designed by Freepik I think I first heard about GOOGLE KEEP in the summer of 2023. I was surprised to learn that it’s an app that’s always visible on the right side of my screen whenever I open Gmail! According to Wikipedia, “Google Keep is a note-taking service included as part of the free,…
A few years ago, I was looking for a wall-mounted spice rack, since kitchen counter space was limited in the place we had just moved to. I also wanted it to look nice … and (if possible) fit in with the “color scheme” of our kitchen and dining area. I finally found the perfect solution –…

(Windows 7 was no longer supported by Microsoft, which was the main reason I upgraded to a new model.) Fast-forward 3 months, when the main way to…
It wasn’t until early 2023 that it occurred to me to get a desk lamp for my office. Up until then, whenever I got on a Zoom call, I was at the mercy of the weather … and the amount of light that happened to be streaming into the bedroom that day. (Our bedroom window…
My first introduction to the “world of Android” was when I bought an iPod over 15 years ago, with the intention of using it to stream music when I went on long walks. I soon learned, however, how proprietary Apple was with devices like the iPod. That’s when I decided to switch to a non-Apple…
I first started appreciating having a calendar with a photo to look at while working as a reporter at a small weekly newspaper. The “office” that the other reporters and myself sat in was more like a hallway between the publisher’s office and the front office – no privacy and very noisy. But above my…
Several years ago, after moving to a smaller place, I realized my husband and I didn’t have enough closet space. I knew an ARMOIRE would be a good option for our storage problem, but the challenge was finding the right one! After looking at and comparing several types, I stumbled across this one. Not only…
