Portable sleep sounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Hatch Rest Go<\/a>, a tangerine-sized portable sound machine, offers high-quality white noise and soothing sounds for better sleep. It’s USB-C rechargeable and provides a richer sound than smartphone apps. My nephew and his wife successfully use it for their infant. Impressed, I also purchased one and now use it nightly. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023\u2019s Favorite Pen of the Year<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

About twice a year I will treat myself and buy Sampler Packs from JetPens (as previously mentioned<\/a>). In 2023, I bought 4 Sampler Packs and my favorite pen to have discovered is the Pentel EnerGel RTX Gel Pen (0.7 mm). I can\u2019t describe it better than the very talented JetPens copywriter does, so here is their very accurate description: Boasting buttery smooth writing, crisp lines, and intensely pigmented color, the Pentel EnerGel is a workhorse pen that even the choosiest pen enthusiasts enjoy. <\/em>You can buy single pens from JetPens for $2.90 each<\/a>, but the larger packs are cheaper on Amazon<\/a> right now. \u2014 CD <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big build podcast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

America finds it nearly impossible to build big projects now. The Big Dig<\/a> is a brilliant 9-part podcast that uses the US\u2019s most expensive infrastructure project to explain, blow-by-blow, how it overcame all the forces trying to prevent it from being completed over 30 years. This podcast is classic, dramatic, thrilling \u2013 one of the best podcast series I\u2019ve ever heard \u2013 and perfect for anyone trying to make something big happen. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free stock photos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pexels<\/a> and Upsplash<\/a> are two of the best sources for free, royalty free stock photos. Search, download, and use anyway you want, for free. They have a different feel than AI generated images, and can be worth the effort to find. No account needed. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to put on a clasp bracelet by yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To put on a clasp bracelet by yourself, use a bobby pin or unbent paper clip. Hook it through the bracelet’s ring, pinch the pin’s end between your fingers and palm, and attach the clasp to the ring. Here\u2019s a video<\/a> that shows how to do it. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NPR\u2019s New Year\u2019s Resolution Planner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love making resolutions and am never the least bit shameful or embarrassed if I pivot or don\u2019t accomplish them. If you need inspiration for new resolutions, NPR put together their Life Kit expert guides and created a resolution planner<\/a> for all the aspects of your life that you might want to improve or change this year. I was intrigued by the \u201cEmbrace my perfectionism\u201d resolution which let to their What Kind of Perfectionist Are You?<\/a> quiz. I took it and tied between Classic Perfectionist and Messy Perfectionist, which means I\u2019m highly organized and reliable, but sometimes struggle with follow-through when distracted by new passions \u2014 which is true! So I\u2019m embracing it.  \u2014 CD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
