The Impulsive Shopper

 Back with more products to help you have an organized and decluttered space! Just as a reminder, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  1. Lid Organizer  How do you organize your lids? If you don't have a big kitchen space, it is so hard!! That's why I bought this lid organizer! It gives a space for all your lids to be stacked. I leave it for certain sizes only so that I know where to look and it's easy for me to spot the lid I need. This fits beautifully in my kitchen cabinet!   #ad 2. Over Door Metal Basket I use this in my kitchen for items like aluminum foil, plastic wrap etc. It's perfect because when you have over the door hangers like this it saves space in your kitchen cabinets for bigger items! I've also seen this being used for baking pans, cutting boards and rolling pins! The height of the hooks are adjustable so that you can store it lower or higher. It's such a space saver!  #ad  3. Chalkboard Tags I love organizing ...

   Another round of organization products!  Just as a reminder as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.   1. Car Headrest Hooks In the height of the pandemic, I had masks EVERYWHERE!! I couldn't figure out a good place to store them in the car other than just having a stack in my purse or on the passenger seat. That's when I found this product! They are hooks that hang off of your car headrest. I used them for masks but you can even use them for handbags, groceries, backpacks etc.   #ad 2. Plastic Scoop Measuring Cups If you are a big baker like me these will come in handy! I use them in my flour and sugar containers to help scoop it out when I am baking! It comes in a set of 4 which is plenty. Even though they are made of plastic they are good quality and have lasted me about 3 years now!   #ad  3. Silicone Oven Gap Cover  Okay. Technically this product doesn't have much to do with organizing but it helps keep your ...

 Back with more products for dogs that  I love! Just as a reminder, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.  1. Enrichment Puzzle Game  1  Does your pup LOVE enrichment and brain work games? If so this is the product for you! It took Riley NO TIME to get the hang of how to get the treats out of this. She really put her hound characteristics to the test! When this is brought out she LOVES it and get's so excited. Not sure if the excitement is because she knows it's a brain game or because of the food. Don't you wish our pets could talk?  #ad  2. Enrichment Puzzle Game 2 I would say that this enrichment game is a level up from the one above. It's a little harder to get the treats because you have to be a bit more strategic about opening the hiding places. Still though, Riley was able to figure it out in no time and she loves it! This one is actually a big more sturdier than the one above.   #ad  3. Enrichment Puzzle G...

 Back with more of my favorite teacher products! Just a reminder, as an Amazon Affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.  1. Rhyming Puzzle Did you know that Phonemic Awareness is one of the most important pieces of learning how to read? The Science of Reading is becoming so well know right now and Phonological/Phonemic Awareness is heavily discussed as a big component of the reading process. Rhyming seems like something so simple/small but the truth is, if your students are having trouble rhyming it is a skill they they need to work on in order to become better readers. I always try to incorporate puzzles/multi-sensory games for concepts like this. I've used it in may ways, as centers, as "finished work" when I have a sub etc. The kids love it and it helps with such an important skill! I like this one because it comes with a visual, so if the student cannot read the words the visual can help!   #ad  2. Mad Dragon - An Anger Control Game  Social emotion...

   Another round of organization products!  Just as a reminder as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.   1. Lazy Susan You can never go wrong with a Lazy Susan! There are so many uses for it between the pantry, your refrigerator, inside your kitchen cabinets, inside your bathroom cabinets. The list is endless! I picked this one because I liked that it was clear, it seemed to go well with the vibe of my kitchen. I keep it right near my oven with my most used spices/oils.   #ad 2. Bookshelf/display shelf When I moved into my apartment, I noticed I had SO MANY "chatchkes" and not enough places to display them. It was a very open concept apartment and needed somewhere to put all my things! I found this really simple "bookshelf" that worked out so well. It's easy to assemble and can fit so many things. Even bins or baskets! I do have to say it is a little unsturdy, but if you're looking for something simple for extra storage space this is for y...

 Back with some more of my favorite dog products. If you are ever interested in seeing some of them in action check out Riley's instagram! @Rileydoodlebug_ and her Tiktok @Rileydoodlebug_   As always just a reminder as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  1. Bathroom Bell  Yes it's true, I taught Riley how to ring a bell when she has to use the bathroom. These bells are have saved so many accidents and gives me a clear signal of what Riley needs. I do have to say she does ring it sometime for attention. It is loud enough to hear in the room over and easy for her to ring. Let me know if you want a video of how I taught her to ring the bell!    #ad 2. Spot Cleaner Riley gave me a run for my money when I first adopted her. She was a stray, so I doubt she had any potty training other than her foster home. Keep in mind she is my first dog so it was a lot of trial and error! That first few weeks she was having a lot of accidents in really...

 Back with more organizing products! As a reminder, as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  1. Recipe Binder If you are like me and get most of your recipes from Facebook blogs then this is the perfect organizer for you. Instead of searching through your old posts or likes like I used to do, just print and put in this binder. It has tabs for all types of categories like desserts, appetizers, main dishes etc. It also has pockets on the side for magazine clippings or anything you haven't been able to hole punch. When I try a recipe and love it, I print and it goes straight into the binder so I can easily access it.   #ad 2. Mini Medication Organizer Whenever I travel, I hate having to take the entire medication bottle for my daily medications. The anxious person in me always worries I may lost the bottle and then not have my medications when I get home. That's why I ordered this medication organizer. I'm sure there are lots of uses for it, but I use...

 Back for more organizing products!  This is the pantry addition! When I moved into my previous apartment it was the first time I ever had a pantry. I DREAMED of having an organized and beautiful pantry! I searched online for inspiration and just went a bit crazy. See below for how it looked. Here are some of the top products I would recommend.  1.  Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers These are amazing! They have different sizes and you can decide what goes inside. I LOVE the ones I used for flour and sugar! They fit so nicely and keep the food fresh. I bought 2 sets! Also, they are dishwasher safe which is so convenient.   #ad 2.  Pantry Food Labels THESE ARE THE CUTEST!! They stick right on your containers/labels and just look so cute!! They stay on very well. I've had mine on my pantry jars/containers for 2+ years without any issues. Just a warning though I don't think they would do well in your dishwasher. I always hand wash if I need t...

 Back for part 3! As a reminder as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  1.  Dog Flirt Pole This is hands down Riley's favorite toy. There is not one moment where she is not in the mood to play with this. Think of it as a horse trying to get a carrot. Sometimes I outsmart her, sometimes she outsmarts me. It's a fun game and she gets exhausted! This would be great if you live in an area where you may get snowed in and can't take your dog out for a walk or exercise.   #ad 2. Dog Birthday Sign  Tell me you're an over the top dog mom without telling me you're an over the top dog mom. Well.. post this sign on your dog's birthday on social media and we will all know what type of dog mom you are! I bought this when I first had Riley on her birthday (she's a rescue dog). I've been using it the past 2 years. The only complaint I have is that it's kind of hard to erase. I used a chalk marker but there may be a better way! I thought the cate...

 Another round of organization products!  Just as a reminder as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.   1. Sugar Stoneware  I created a small coffee bar/station in my kitchen. I have a Keurig, stirrers, K-cup organizer, a coffee canister and this sugar canister. It's so cute! This canister is a good size and has a tight seal so i feel like it keeps the sugar fresh (if that's a thing). I also really love the look of it! It's very homey.    #ad 2. Coffee Canister  As a a part of my coffee bar mentioned above, this is the coffee canister I use. It keeps my coffee grounds safe and holds a good amount of coffee. It looks so nice next to the Sugar Stoneware.      #ad 2.  Storage Baskets  These baskets are so cute! You can store tons of different things inside. I started with using them for Riley's feeding toys. Two if them fit perfectly on top of the fridge. Now they are on my bookshelf and I store my step son's s...

Round 2 for more products for dogs and dog parents! Just as a reminder a s an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.  1. Water Frisbees Riley is SO picky with her toys. I've bought so many toys over the years that she is not interested in at all. My friend invited us to a dog beach with her dog one day. Riley hates the water but she LOVED this water frisbee! It's made of good material. She still doesn't like the water but she's a fan of this frisbee!  #ad 2. 2-in one Dog Water Bottle  I love this thing!! The dog bowl attaches to the bottom of the water bottle so it never gets lost and is always with you for long walks. It's big so it holds a lot of water. I do have to say it is very heavy. I used to keep a water bottle on my "fanny pack" type back but this was too heavy so I did have to switch for a backpack when we take long walks. Honestly though it's worth it!   #ad 3. Washable Couch Cover  Let's face it, no one likes cleaning up af...

 Back with more organizing products! Just as a reminder a s an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 1. Black Velvet Hangers  For those who don't know - velvet hangers do provide more space in your closet! They also help with clothes that tends to slip. Also, if you are like me and keep all your hangers the same color - it makes your closet flow so much better!! These are a must have if you like to keep your hanging clothes nice and tidy. I will not go back to plastic hangers!   #ad 2.  Wire Labels Have you ever had to follow a cord to what it's plugged into but then wonder what it was for when it was not plugged in? These are the solution to that! When I was moving I had to figure out how to organize my cords. I couldn't find a bin that separated cords into sections but I did find these labels! You just write what the cord is for and then attach it! Now I just have a bin of cords and when I am looking for something specific it's way easier.  ...

 Back for more teacher stuff! Just as a reminder a s an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 1. Pack of Sand Timers  When you teach special education you have to think outside the box sometimes. If I'm being honest, I don't even remember why I bought these sand timers. However, I'm glad I did! Recently I was working with a student and I was using a digital timer with him to give him a brain break. When the timer went off it was loud and he covered his ears. Turns out he was very sensitive to loud noises. Once I pulled out the sand timers he was way more receptive to that. This pack comes with different times each in a different color! There are so many uses for sand timers!   #ad 2. Storage Clipboard  These clipboards were first introduced to be about 2 years ago when our SPED Lead ordered them for the whole team. WOW. Game changer for data collection! They can be used so many ways. Keep data sheets hidden that are not being used in the moment. St...

 When I first got my Beagle mix Riley, I went a little crazy with impulse buying. Then I realized how anxious she is! I tried SO MANY PRODUCTS! Here are some of my favorites! As a reminder as   an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 1. The Furbo The Furbo saved me when I started leaving Riley home alone. First, you can watch and talk to your dog and the best part is you can throw treats!! Bonus: At one point when Riley was still very anxious she completely destroyed the cord to the Furbo. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement cord for free!  #ad 2. Lickmat Feeder I did a lot of research on what helps with anxious dogs. One thing that came up is licking is calming for them so I immediately bought this Lickmat. As soon as I take it out Riley goes nuts! I put peanut butter on it and freeze it so it lasts longer and then let her enjoy! She does it need it for anxiety anymore but she still loves it as a treat! I also put different types of food...

 I LOVE to organize! It makes me SO happy when I find a product that gives me a chance to organize my space. When my space is neat and organized I feel calmer. I buy TONS of my organization stuff online! Here are some of my favorites. Just a reminder, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 1. Holiday Organizer I just moved in with my fiance who is Catholic and had my first Christmas! That meant I had to figure out the best way to organize all of our new decorations and ornaments. I stumbled upon this organizer and LOVE IT!! It fits so many things! The compartments are so adaptable for different sizes. I fit all of my holiday decorations in this and its stacked neatly. You can also make compartments within the bag for different sized objects so they don't move around and get damaged!  #ad 2. Under the Bed Shoe Organizer  When we moved in to our new apartment I gave up a significant amount of closet space that I was used to. This meant I had to be creativ...

I teach third grade Special Education. This is my 8th year teaching so I've had some trial and error of what products I would buy again and what products I can do without. Below are a few of my favorites! Just a reminder,  as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 1. Paper Mate Flair Tip Pens  I LOVE these pens. I use them for grading, taking notes and everything in between. I love the colors and the fine point! These are a hit with my teacher friends too! Buy It Here  #ad  2. Individual Sticker Charts  I teach third grade and these have been a hit! You can use them for any type of incentive so they are easy to customize/adapt. In my class, each student has one taped to their desk. When they earn a full row of stickers they get a small reward (cost friendly to me) and then when they get an entire chart filled with stickers they get a larger prize! It's simple but effective!    #ad 3. Stikki Clips Can't say enough good things about Stikk...
