Chromebooks are Made for Kids

Get the latest in chromebook technology with this version by Acer

A chrome book is at the top of our list this year. Our local public school system just bought a bunch of them for the kids to use in the classroom and many teachers have put their assignments in Google's Classroom space. For me, the Chromebook is the perfect affordable way to keep the kids off MY computer since more and more of their homework requires it these days. For her, it's the independence of not having to ask to use my computer to do her assignments PLUS the cool factor of having one's own laptop - all right around $200.

Camping Hammock by PeakUp

A tree hammock by PeakUp makes a great gift for the Jr Camper on your list

Our family loves to go camping, but the one thing that ruins our laid back vibe every time is the kids fighting over whose turn it is in the Eno hammock. I love this slightly more affordable one by PeakUp and the girls pattern on this one. I know she'll also love bringing it to sleep-away camp with her next summer too.

Affordable Frameless Shower Doors

When planning our master bathroom renovation, one of the largest budget line items - aside from our Pottery Barn bathroom vanity - was the frameless glass doors we wanted for our tiled stall shower.

Fortunately, my husband took to the internet and found an alternative to the custom frameless shower enclosures which typically run upwards of $2000 in these Kohler Revel Pivot shower doors. With adjustable width and plenty of height (70") this affordable option allowed us to achieve the look we wanted in our transitional bathroom. Similar to this design from Studio AJ above, our bathroom used the same Kohler doors for a custom look at a fraction of the price.

Back when we renovated our bathroom, the availability of frameless glass doors on the internet were few and far between. Now, the options for frameless glass shower enclosures online are exploding with options for every bathroom style. Here are a few of the most popular options available now on Amazon.

VIGO Winslow 36 x 60-in. Frameless Sliding Shower Enclosure 

If you are looking to create a 2-sided enclosure check out the Vigo Winslow Series. With corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, and reversible installation for left or right hand corners these doors are rated high for quality and ease of installation by Amazon customers.

Aston Langham Completely Frameless Sliding Shower Door in Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish

To get the industrial look that is so popular right now, take a look at the Aston Langham frameless shower door in oil-rubbed bronze finish. These doors which are available in a range of sizes and finishes will finish your stall shower with style.

What I love about these doors is the oversized hardware giving it that sliding barn door feeling so popular in industrial-style design right now. Think Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware.
