A bathtub with a TubShroom visible behind a beach themed shower curtain.
The TubShroom is the little orange thing. Looks nice on my beach!

The bad news is that it’s super fine and turning gray front and center where my part begins. The good news is that I do have a lot of it! When I first became a single mom, I found myself suddenly the only adult in a busy household. One of my new roles was handyperson. This meant that I had to deal with the clogged drain in my shower because calling a plumber for such a minor, yet highly irritating event, wasn’t in the budget. (What was in the budget?) This also meant that I spent many days taking showers in ankle deep, murky water because although I was using the professional-sized snake I found in my very own garage, unclogging the drain turned out to be a marathon event that required endurance, perseverance, and, well, time. I believe my fascinating drain sagas will be covered in more depth soon as I slowly reveal my story. You’re probably getting the picture that this head can single handedly clog a drain, though. (It was my shower?… haha.)

What's a tub for? A cat is in the tub drinking water next to the TubShroom.

So, one of the purposes of this blog is to share with you the little things that get me through life. Here’s one of them. It’s called the TubShroom. I discovered it all on my own, too. One reason I purchased it from Amazon is because I needed color options! That little pop of orange on the pseudo beach I’ve created in my bathroom makes me happy.

It’s easy to use. Pop out the regular drain thingy and pop in the TubShroom. Done.

And it works. It’s the absolute best goal keeper ever, truly catching each and every hair that tries to infiltrate my drain. I couldn’t even tell you where that professionalesque snake of mine is, now. And my plumbing skills have been (thankfully) underutilized as of late. This is, of course, because I’m hesitant to tackle the toilet in my bathroom that won’t stop running…hmmm.
