Cool tools really work.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.
Green Tape – I picked up green tape like they use in The Bear to label everything in my fridge. Simple, effective, and cuts down on food waste.
All Fours by Miranda July – I never pressure myself to finish a book, but this one? Obsessed—and I feel like I'm the last person I know to pick it up, but just in case, thought I'd mention it here. Miranda also has a wicked newsletter on substack.
Thomas the Train Set – A friend gifted this to my son for his 4th birthday. Now, it’s the most beloved toy in the house. And if you don't already. listen to the Thomas and Friends podcast with your kiddos, check that out too!
Twin Peaks – Speaking of David Lynch, we just finished the final episode, and I’m already tempted to start it from the top.
INVISIBLE
Fermentation – Making Yogurt
Boil milk, cool it, add starter (yogurt of your choice), leave in the oven overnight on the bread proofing setting. Wake up to homemade yogurt. An invisible process with sweet results.
