Simple things that support my daily walk with God, home life, and peace of mind.
As a Christian woman in my retirement years, I’ve learned that the simplest things can bring the most comfort—whether it’s a Bible study that speaks right to your soul, a journal that keeps your prayers in one place, or even a tool that makes decluttering your home less overwhelming.
I’m often asked what I use or recommend, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite Amazon finds that have helped me stay organized, spiritually grounded, and focused on what matters most.

Faith & Prayer Must-Haves
Journal Notebooks
I love how this thread-bound notebook lays flat—it makes writing so much easier, whether you’re right-handed or left-handed like me. Journaling, taking notes, and planning have never felt more convenient. Plus, it comes in a handy 3-pack, so I’m always stocked up.
Journal Pens
I like these non-bleed fine point pens (0.7mm) in vibrant colors—black, green, orange, pink, blue, and purple. They don’t bleed through any paper, even Bibles, and they write smooth, dry fast, and never smear. Perfect for journaling, Bible study, and color coding!
Notetaking Bible
I love the single-column format with wide 1.75″ margins—perfect for journaling and note-taking. It features 8-point black-letter text, a one-year Bible reading plan, ribbon marker, concordance, gift presentation page, and full-color maps.
Decluttering & Organizing Tools I Use Weekly
Stand Steady Desk Potato
I use this compact drawer to stash pens and small items, then swivel it under my desk to keep things out of the way. It clamps on easily—no tools or drilling needed—and keeps my workspace clutter-free. It’s sturdy, simple to install, and easy to move if needed.
3Pk Reusable Grocery Bags
I love how roomy and sturdy these reusable bags are—great for shopping, with strong 12″ handles that fit over my shoulder. They stand up for easy loading, fit perfectly in my cart and trunk, and clean up easily with a damp cloth. They fold flat for storage and help me ditch plastic bags for good!

Bag Storage Organizer for Kitchen Drawer
I finally got rid of messy drawers with this all-in-one bamboo organizer. It holds all my sandwich, snack, quart, and gallon bags—and even has built-in cutters for foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper. No assembly needed, and I love how easy it is to use and how neat it keeps everything.
Convenient Items That Bring Me Joy
Echo Glow – Multicolor smart lamp, Works with Alexa
I use this smart lamp with Alexa to control the color and brightness with my voice. It’s great for timers, routines, or just adding fun lighting while I cook, work, or relax. Setup was super easy—no hassle at all!
Amazon Echo Spot
I use my Echo Spot as a smart alarm clock with Alexa—it wakes me up gently with music and light. I can check the time, weather, and reminders at a glance, control my smart home, and enjoy rich sound for music and podcasts. I also love that it’s easy to customize and built with privacy and sustainability in mind.
Amazon Basics 1.8-Qt (1.7L) Electric Kettle
I love how fast this 1500W kettle boils water—it saves me so much time. It shuts off automatically and has boil-dry protection for safety. Everything that touches the water is BPA-free, and the blue LED light adds a nice touch. It’s easy to fill, clean, and use every day.
These are just a few of the things that make my day-to-day life feel a little more manageable, more peaceful, and more intentional. If even one of these blesses your life the way it has mine, then that makes sharing it so worth it.
