I started this website in 2022 during my mom's struggle with Alzheimer's. For years, she gave everything to me to ensure I was safe and supported everyday. My goal now is to do everything I can to ensure she is also safe and supported through her struggles. This website is designed to help you, the caretaker, care for your beloved family
I started this website in 2022 during my mom's struggle with Alzheimer's. For years, she gave everything to me to ensure I was safe and supported everyday. My goal now is to do everything I can to ensure she is also safe and supported through her struggles. This website is designed to help you, the caretaker, care for your beloved family member or friend who was once your trusted caretaker, as well as your own self. To that end, I'm curating all my favorite products that have helped me in the care of my mom, as well as caring for my own peace and sanity. If you have any suggested products, please drop me an email! Sending you all my love and support!

- Peelaways - HOLY COW! Where has this been.the last few years? I could've used this for my grandmom and my kids too! These are soft FITTED peel away bed sheets. Got dirty? Peel away a layer and reveal a fresh bed sheet ready to go. AMAZING PRODUCT!
- Apple AirTag - hands down, one of the best products to use to ensure Mom doesn't wander off without the ability to be located. RIGHT NOW (11/20/22) these are on sale on Amazon for $79.99!! Get them!
- AirTag Holder - I use these to attach the AirTag to my mom's trusty tennis shoes. Anytime she leaves the house, she wears her tennis shoes.
- Door Lock - very sturdy and can also help protect the house from burglars
- ID Bracelet - if your loved one will wear it, this can be useful for others to quickly and easily identify the issue and contact you
- Large Clock with reminders - this has been wonderful for my parents
- Stuff Trackers - My mom means well when she decides to organize, but she can't remember where she put anything. We have these trackers on the important items like remote controls, her purse, and the keys. We use them about once a week. Such a sanity savior.
- Cricut - I use this machine to make all kinds of stuff for mom like t-shirts and signs. So useful for caring for mom, for goodies for my kids (like personalized water bottles), and myself!
- Door Alarms - these door alarms are so great because I get an alert on my phone if any doors or windows I use them on are opened. I can't be with mom all the time so this is wonderful for me to know if she leaves the house. This will also be very useful when my kids are teens and they try to sneak in or out :)
- Ring cameras - I don't know about you, but I can't be everywhere seeing everything. These Ring cameras have been lifesavers to keep track of areas I can't easily access or see at any given time. This will be great for keeping an eye on my kiddos too!
- Labeler - I don't know about you, but I personally find a sense of calm in having an organized home. I have begun putting things away, particularly into storage containers like Rubbermaid or nice ones from the dollar store. This P-Touch label maker is quick, cheap, and easy. And this link includes 4 refills!

- Rakuten - you get cash back for your purchases at over 3,500 major companies like Target, Expedia, and Walmart. AND if you join through my link and spend $30 on any store through Rakuten, you get $30 back from Rakuten. AND if you use a cash back credit card on your purchases, you get money back from your credit card too. $ on top of $!
- Apple Watch Beaded Bands - this is my favorite watch band. I get compliments on it everywhere. It is beautiful and really changes to utilitarian look of the Apple Watch to a fabulous piece of jewelry.
- Laptop cases - I don't know about you, but I have a million balls in the air. One thing I don't want to worry about is breaking my laptop, which is my lifeline to everything. I found these awesome laptop cases, which I use when transporting my laptop. As it's also currently back to school time, my older son is also getting one for his laptop, which he now has to bring to school everyday. He chose the Nintendo controller one, surprise surprise.
