Not only did I get to highlight some great products, but I came away with a wishlist of my own and have since added the Breville Smart Oven to my own kitchen. It has made weeknight meals so much easier for our family!Favorite Purchase: https://www.amazon.com/Home-Techpro-Non-Slip-Washable-Materials/dp/B07BYCHMVY"I will tell anyone and everyone I know to buy these rug grippers from Amazon—they're hands-down my favorite purchase (and repurchase!) as of late. They do an amazing job of keeping rugs firmly in place, all without damaging the rug or the floor beneath it. They're totally magic."
