The Best Things from Amazon: The Armrest Tray

Jul 12, 2022

Last week, I felt like I had so many great blogging ideas but no energy to write about them.  Pregnancy is hard.  Being an associate attorney is hard.  Add in a side hustle and all the other tasks and errands of life, and I’m pretty worn out.  So let’s try again shall we?

Like many homes built in the middle part of the century, my home has long, narrow rooms.  We bought a sectional sized to solve the seating woes caused by rectangular room shapes, but it left us without room for end tables.  So my husband often puts his drink on the floor, only to have it felled by dog or human feet.

Enter the armrest tray.  The hinged clamps mean in grips on to almost any size armrest (even one like ours that isn’t completely flat), and the surface is big enough for a drink, your phone, and the remote.  I loved it so much, I bought one for the other armrest.

The manufacturer makes several colors and styles — white octagon, a diamond-like shape with a built-in tablet holder, or a marble-printed composite one.  Regardless of which style you choose, the utility of the item is 10/10.

    Yes! I tried a martini table, but my husband and kid knocked THAT over also. Excited to try this.

    This looks way classier than the media room couches that have cupholders in them, either visibly or from a cushion that folds down into a table, like a carseat. When I see that I have to remind myself not to judge. But then I, like your husband, find myself on our own furniture, without easy access to end tables or a clear spot on the end table. And I think, darn, that person with that media couch really knew what was up.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
