Too Good Not to Share* available at Home Depot We’ve been sprucing up the place, and after having the laundry room repainted (including the ceiling) we noticed the can lights were looking a little yellowed with age.

Too Good Not to Share
Too Good Not to Share posts are just because I love to share things that have made a difference in my life, with hope they may make a difference in someone else’s. I am not compensated in any way.
Bug Bite Thing
Too Good Not to Share* You know, sometimes a thing is just what it is -- no fancy name needed. So, it is with Bug Bite Thing. It's just the thing to relieve itching from bug bites. I first learned about this little gadget last fall and ordered a couple, having been drawn in (as … Continue reading Bug Bite Thing
Some Good News
Too Good Not to Share John Krasinski, Some Good News. This week’s Too Good Not to Share is another diversion from the constant weight of the ongoing corona virus.

View from My Window
Too Good Not to Share* View from my window by Susan Fischbach Isaacs. My goal on these Tuesdays of late is to share something to mitigate the stress/boredom/anxiety/whatever-you-might-be-feeling-while-folks-around-the-world-have-gone-practically-dormant, and to also have it be something that costs nothing but a few minutes of your time. Today’s Too Good Not to Share comes from a friend … Continue reading View from My Window
Quarantine Got Your Sleep?
Too Good Not to Share Photo by Elena Koycheva on Unsplash. Some of us are naturally anxious, and some of us have become anxious during these last few weeks of disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Here’s one small trick to help relieve a bit of night-time anxiety: Don’t. Look. At. The. Clock. If you’re … Continue reading Quarantine Got Your Sleep?
Write Now: Exacompta Desk Journal
Too Good Not to Share* In these very unusual days, I've heard it advised that we should all be keeping a record of how we're spending our time.

Too Good Not to Share: Cooped Up Edition
Photo by Yoksel 🌿 Zok on Unsplash. A 15-minute walk outside -- who knew? Likely everyone but me; and truth be told, I knew. I mean -- I’ve read it, heard people say it, seen Facebook posts with the photos, and even done it a few times. So, yes, I knew that taking a walk … Continue reading Too Good Not to Share: Cooped Up Edition
Book Review: Me, Myself and Them by Dan Mooney
Too Good Not to Share* Consider the voices we all carry in our heads -- the ones that say we’re not good enough or strong enough, or likable enough. In Denis, we see the effect of those voices magnified as his fairly normal-looking, if oddly regimented, life goes on after surviving trauma that happened years … Continue reading Book Review: Me, Myself and Them by Dan Mooney
Norpro Egg-Perfect Egg Timer
Too Good Not to Share* Norpro Egg-Perfect Egg Timer. Far from a natural in the kitchen, I was happy to find this handy little egg timer several years ago.

Let Your Prayer Rise Like Incense
Too Good Not to Share* Perhaps for Lent you have committed to more intentional prayer, and perhaps you saw this recent article from Aleteia: How Incense Can Improve Your Prayer Life.

Coloring Sheet Circle Habit Tracker
Too Good Not to Share* My new favorite habit tracker. This year I’ve been coming to the awareness that there are several things I want to do to make me a healthier, more balanced person.

Kitchen Shears
Too Good Not to Share* Photo by Susan Fischbach Isaacs. There’s nothing like having guests in your home to help you see things with fresh eyes.

Write On!
Too Good Not to Share* Image from Staples.com The other day I went into a giant office supplies store for a ream of paper.

When Life is Draining: Smart Funnel
Too Good Not to Share* Trying to get the last bit of honey out of the bottle or liquid soap out of its container is so frustrating and time-consuming that it’s easy to think it’s not worth the effort -- unless you have a Smart Funnel. This handy-dandy gadget retails for under $10 and saves … Continue reading When Life is Draining: Smart Funnel
GRIPSTIC Bag Sealer
Too Good Not to Share* Chip clips, ugh. They take up extra room on the bag they’re sealing, they take way too much space to store when not in use, then, they break. I end up just keeping a handful of clothes pins in the kitchen, but they don’t seal open packages as well as … Continue reading GRIPSTIC Bag Sealer
Lazy Kitchen Tools
Too Good Not to Share* https://www.amazon.com/Rachael-Ray-Gadgets-2-Piece-Orange/dp/B001Q6I9WI Over the holidays I spent more time in the kitchen than I had been and fell back in love with my Rachel Ray Lazy Spoon.

The 30-Day Alcohol-Free Experiment
Too Good Not to Share This week’s TGNtS is sometimes called Dry January and is touted by the likes of Men’s Health and USA Today, as well as numerous others.

Because of the … Continue reading The 30-Day Alcohol-Free Experiment

Trtl Travel Pillow
Too Good Not to Share* In the last couple of weeks I’ve inadvertently started a travel theme in Too Good Not to Share, but as we are coming up on the busiest travel time of the year, it seems like a good idea to roll with it.

Nite Hood
Too Good Not to Share* In the last few years I've discovered sleep masks and found the complete darkness they provide to be quite helpful -- especially in hotel rooms that don't quite get dark, but even on mornings at home during the time of year when the sun gets up before I want to. … Continue reading Nite Hood

Mini Kitchen Tools
Too Good Not to Share Photo by Susan Fischbach Isaacs These I discovered completely by accident. The first little scraper I got was most likely an impulse buy in a cute gift shop somewhere, as kitchen gadgets rarely on my shopping list. But the first one was the gateway.

Bison D-Ring Bottle Bandit
Too Good Not to Share* Today’s TGNtS is one of my husband’s discoveries, and I don’t know that he could tell you where he found the first one.

The Original Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover
Too Good Not to Share* Deodorant marks are the pits, -- the slashes across the front of your shirt from pulling it over your head, the dashes at the neckline when you’re reaching in with a stick because you forgot to put deodorant on before you got dressed. You dab it, not necessarily successfully, with … Continue reading The Original Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover

Rain-X Original Glass Water Repellent
Too Good Not to Share* Seriously, not sexy unless you’re into safety. We’ve been using Rain-X for probably 20 years, and I’m always shocked that it’s not a standard car care item for every car on the road. Based on personal experience alone, it feels much safer to drive a car with a Rain-X treated … Continue reading Rain-X Original Glass Water Repellent
Curious Elixirs
Too Good Not to Share*, Inaugural edition I did a 30-day booze free experiment a little over five years ago and since then have been on the hunt for something that drinks like an adult beverage but without the alcohol.
