Adding a Retractable Screen Door

 This is a little upgrade that we've been so happy about.

We added a retractable screen door to our laundry room door that leads out to the backyard pool area.   We didn't think a traditional storm door would work or fit and the door opens out so the screen door needed to be on the inside.
I found this one (No Drilling Retractable Sliding Screen Door) on Amazon and thought it might work for us.   We measured a few times just to be sure and ordered it.  They are made to order so prices vary depending on the size you need.
Installation was a little tricky and the directions were not helpful but customer service was good about getting back to us and sent us a link to a video demonstration which was helpful.  This is what it looks like when the screen door is closed and in use. We love having the extra ventilation!
When it's opened, it completely retracts into the side of the frame.
Here's how it looks with the door closed and the screen retracted. Have you ever seen one of these doors?

Amazon Travel Products I've Been Using

We had some summer trips planned and Amazon came in handy for my travel products.


I finally got on the belt bag trend and I liked this neutral tan color.  It's a great size, it holds my phone and other essentials. I love being hands free with it as well.

We had a trip booked to Kauai (trip post coming soon) and I loved having these fun flower hair clips to go with my island outfits.


I got these for our Disney trip. They really can help cool you down in the relentless Orlando sun and humidity.



I also got this for our Disney trip since the MyDisney app and taking lots of videos and photos can use up your battery quickly,

I was worried I might get blisters from all of the walking so I had this blister foot balm to protect my feet. I didn't get any blisters!
I got this belt to go with summer outfits.



I use this collapsible water bottle for my walks but it is also so easy to pack in my suitcase. I like that it is sturdy when it's filled up and doesn't cave in like some other collapsible bottles.


I wish I had gotten one of these dresses for Disney but it was nice for Kauai. The shorts pull down so you don't have to take the whole dress down to use the restroom.

I thought this dress would be perfect for Hawaii. I got so many compliments on it too.  I will wear it at home as well.

I like the look of a one piece but the convenience of a two piece so this suit is perfect.

I've been loving this cover up at home and on our trips.

My sunglasses broke right before my trip but I was able to get this pack of two in time.  They are really comfortable and don't get stuck in my hair when I pull them up.

{Shopping} Amazon Prime Purchases

 I'm joining  Andrea at Living On Cloud Nine and Jill at Doused in Pink for their monthly Amazon Prime link up.  It's been a few months for me so I have a lot of purchases.

I wanted to soften up our new pleated shades in the primary bedroom and these linen like drapes are gorgeous!
We got these simple rods to hang them on.

I've been reading about the healing qualities of castor oil and wanted to try it. The bottle is HUGE so I've decanted some to a smaller bottle.

I purchased this dress for some spring/summer occasions.


We needed some easier to open produce keepers and I got this set.  They've been working out well.
I wanted some dish towels that didn't start unraveling and found this set. They are a little smaller than I'm used to but are working well.


I've been trying to do little tweaks around the house that make me happy. Having a matching set of utensils has been one of them. I like the neutral khaki color!


I brew iced tea in mason jars and have been wanting these wide mouth pour spouts for awhile. 
I had been trying to thrift a pair of denim overalls but couldn't find any that worked for me. I love having a new pair and these have some nice stretch to them.


I got these hangers for the laundry room to hang up wet clothing. I wanted plastic clips and these fit the bill!

If you want to link up, here's the info.

{Shopping} Amazon Finds

I haven't done one of these round ups in awhile.




We got this deskchair for City Girl #1 for Christmas.   If I needed a desk chair, I'd consider this one because you can sit cross legged on it or on one leg as I tend to sit.



I needed a new pair of corded ear buds because the ones I had were no longer working well. I've been happy with this set.  I prefer the corded ear buds when walking so I don't need to worry if one falls out.

This was a last minute stocking stuffer for Mr. Click and he loves them (they come in a handy two pack).



My heels really needed some help and these little socks have been helping a lot! I wear them to bed and wake up with moisturized, softer heels!

I wanted a new leopard print belt and liked the thicker width of this one.  I'm amazed at how many outfits it goes with.

Seen here.


I've been finding lots of good uses for these handy hooks. I have them on the side of the fridge to hold a calendar, the side of the dryer to hold a collapsible hamper, to hang drying clothes, and on a rolling cart to hold a dustpan and brush.  They are small but mighty.


I was influenced by Kathryn at Do It On a Dime to try these sticky dots.  I'm using them in the kitchen drawers to keep the organizers from shifting around. It has made such a difference! I'm sure I will find lots of other uses for them as well.

I mentioned finding the bifold barn door hardware in this post.
I've bought these now in three colors so suffice it to say I love them!



This was a literal life saver when my zipper pull broke off of my winter jacket's zipper.  It was not operable without it.  The pack came with a few so if we ever need to fix a zipper again (think suitcases, handbags, etc) we'll be set.
Here it is in use (with the corded ear buds) so I can brave the cold winter walks.


I love this little stick for cleaning my rings which have been getting so dirty from constant use of hand lotion and washing.  I couldn't believe the gunk that was coming off of my rings!

I asked for and got this soft and cozy robe for Christmas. I've been using it pretty much every day. I love the shorter length and keep it in the bathroom for after my showers.

New Home Amazon Faves

Here are some of my favorites from Amazon that have helped us as we've moved into the new house.
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
We got this pretty area rug for one of the bedrooms.
I tried a few different pillow covers but this one was the winner for our bed.
I got two of these duvet sets for our guest beds. They are so soft!
We used these for storing some of our daughters' things. It's nice to be able to see what's inside.

We got two of these air purifiers and might add a third. They have been working like a charm and are so quiet.  The app makes it easy to change things up and see how much life the filter has left.


I love this roll up dish drying rack! We don't have to keep a big rack on the counter or store it under the sink. It rolls up when not in use and is great for cleaning veggies too.

I've been using these oven liners for a long time. They help keep the over (and toaster oven) clean and catch any spills.
I got this 3 pack of storage bags for holiday decor. The windows are helpful to see what's inside.  Bags are so much lighter and easier to handle than the stiff plastic storage totes I used to use.
 
We are using these bronze shower curtain hooks in our second bath.



We have a tiny shower so we got this curved shower curtain rod to maximize the space.



This waffle weave shower curtain came in different sizes so we could get just what we needed for the stall shower.

We needed a place for our shower essentials and this 2-pack caddy has been working out great and the suction cups are holding strong.


I got this adhesive paper towel holder for the laundry room. It also has hardware if you'd prefer to hang it that way.


I needed a new jewelry storage solution and these trays hold all of my jewelry perfectly.  I can keep it in a drawer or closet so it's out of the way in my smaller space.


I had Laura from Everyday Edits' voice in my head (but too late!) that you should always put your extension cords in before your bed is moved in.  We ordered these after the fact and they've been working out great for charging and power.  They work well in tight spaces because the plug is flat.

I thought this wooden scoop would be perfect for Willow's dry food.  It's 1/4 cup measuring cup and looks nice out on the counter with her jar of food.


I wanted some coordinated but not super matchy mugs for the kitchen. Love them!

These adhesive towel hooks have been a good solution under the kitchen sink for the dish towel and in the bathroom for hand towels.
Our "new" washing machine didn't smell fresh (that's putting it mildly) so I've been trying all kinds of things to clean it.  These tablets have amazing reviews and have been helping.

One of the first things we changed out after painting the house was all of the switch plates. I liked the simple architectural detail of them.

Of course we needed the matching outlet covers as well.

I've been walking to yoga and needed a water bottle with a handle. This one came highly recommended and it's been great for keeping my water cold plus it fits in a car cup holder if I want to take it in the car.

Another thing we switched out was the porch light. This one has a dusk to dawn feature so we don't have to worry about turning it on and off every day. There's also a motion sensor and it has a plug for outdoor displays.  It made a huge difference!


These are the bulbs we got for the light.

We recently got new outdoor lights for our patio and needed something to hang them with.  I can't believe how strong these hooks are.
