Today's Words Of Glass

I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. It's not a surprise that I like ( ok, more like crave ) the need to be organized. And labels are an easy way for me to organize my life. With  Avery Self-Laminating ID labels , my life just got a little easier.

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience. I have always been someone who goes through a lot of printer paper. And now that Lil Man is older, I think I'm using even more. There are tons of printouts for activities, and I'm finding myself printing more and more.  Thankfully, I've come across HP's EcoFFICIENT Paper  from Sho plet.com .  When I heard about EcoFFicient paper, I wasn't really sure about the quality. I expected the paper to be super thin and basically see-through. 

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience. When it comes to my running I am pretty much known for my neon bright clothes. What can I say I love all things bright :-) So when I saw this paper imagine my joy at all of the bright bright colors This Neenah Astrobrights Colored Paper and Neenah Astrobrights Colored Card Stock is a neon lover's dream. I suppose it would be a little too much if I taped pieces of this on my body when  I ran :-) but there are of course more practical uses for this bright paper.  The Neenah Astrobrights comes in 24lb weight and 65lb. And honestly the possibilities are endless. It just so happened that Lil Man needed a little practice with using the scissors. Apparently he's like his Momma and also loves all things bright. He was more than thrilled with this paper. So we put the Astrobrights paper to the test....

Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I can be a pen snob. If the pen 'skips', or if I have to press too hard, or if it just doesn't flow like I want it to, I will toss it.... as in toss it into the trash. So I was curious to give these Pilot Pens a try to see how they worked. Let me start with the  B2P Colors Multi ,  B2P Gel , and B2P Ball Pen . First of all, I love the concept behind these pens. They are made from 89% recycled material. Now how cool is that? Hence the name Bottle 2 Pen makes perfect sense. I love it. But loving the idea and loving the pen are two different things.  And after testing... wait for it... wait for it.. wait for it.... the B2P pens are great. The ink flows smoothly. I don't have to press too hard. There isn't any 'skipping', and the colors are awesome....

I don't know about you, but I can always find a use for a clipboard. And if it's a storage clipboard that's an added bonus. The SlimMate Storage Clipboard  is an excellent product. It's big enough to hold my notes, shopping lists, coupons, and pens. But it's slim enough to fit in an over-sized bag without taking up too much room. It also makes a perfect companion for Lil Man when traveling. Paper, pencils and small books fit nicely.  In addition to the storage clipboard, the Sauders Recycled Hardboard Clipboard   is also a great product. I love the small size. It fits nicely in my car where I can keep notes, receipts or coupons attached.  Speaking of attached, what it is about pre-schoolers and gluing things? My Lil Man loves to do art projects, and he loves to glue. The Sauders Color Glue Stic is an great choice. It's non-toxic, easy to use, and dries quickly. In addition to glue sticks, the UHU Glue N Style Pen is also a good choic...

As many of you know I like to try to stay as organized as possible. And one way that I do that is with notebooks and folders. Samsill  makes a great versatile multifunction notebook. It's not too small. It's not too big. It's a durable 1" office binder with label holder . It seems to be just the right size for a lot of paperwork that I need to organize and take care of. And it files easily on a shelf.  In addition to staying organized, I am also on the go a lot this summer as many of you are. And I came across this great iPad Holder . Not only is it cute, it's also very functional. It has a magnetic closure which puts the iPad automatically to sleep when it's closed and awakes it when it's open. It has an adjustable stand with two landscape positions. It has cutouts for the camera, the controls. and the ports. So I don't have to remove the iPad from the case to use it, charge it, take pictures with it, and I like how it's covered when I...

I'm not going to lie, I'm an office supplies Sharpie nerd, and wee bit of a pen snob. If it doesn't write smooth, I truthfully won't use it. (Don't tell my husband about the numerous pens that I've tossed simply because I didn't like them). But Sharpies don't usually disappoint.  And the Premium pen   is no exception. I love the fine point and the ink flows freely with minimum pressure.  This pen was small enough to write in the tiniest of margins on my desk calender. But it was also bold enough in color that I could easily see what I had written. I've claimed this pen for 'my use'. I even told Hubby that he will need to get his own because I don't plan to share.  And it probably won't surprise you that I immediately fell in love with the Neon Permanent Markers . It's no secret that I am a lover of neon. These pens are bright. The color flows easy. And I loved how I could use the different colors to c...

  If you are like most households now-a-days, at least one member (if not more) of the family has a tablet. And as Lil Man is getting older, we are using our tablet more and more. But one thing about our tablet that I didn't like was having to hold it all of the time, especially if I was watching a TV show or movie. It got very tiring very quick to hold the tablet through an hour long show or much less a longer movie. But this little device, the Kantek Rotating Desktop Tablet Stand , has solved my problem with having to told the tablet. Check this out. It is a multi-angle, rotating tablet stand. It's light, easy to fold, and easy to move from room to room. In addition to holding my tablet for viewing movies, it will also make reading recipes much easier. Because I can place my tablet on the stand, I can glance over and see my recipe without having to pick up my tablet to view it. And another awesome part about the Kantek Rotating Desktop Table Stand...

I know when I worked outside of the home, that the first thing I did was check my 'calendar' when I got to the office. Little did I know, that as a stay-at-home mom, that's still the first thing that I do. I will admit that I have always had a love for Office Supplies  and I would always get a little excited for the new year and new supplies.  Well, as a stay-at-home mom, I'm busy with running a household and keeping things scheduled. And the 2014 Calendar is the perfect calendar for my desk.  The days are big enough that I can write in information, but the calendar isn't too massive that it takes up my entire desk.  And although I use a calendar online, I still like having a paper calendar to record information. And the Business Planner is perfect for keeping up with appointments and expenses. On the bottom right corner is an "expense record" that I can use to keep tabs on expenses.  It's large enough t...

I wanted to take a moment to tell you about Shoplet. It's a great place to get Office Supplies . And if you are on the computer a lot like me, you may have experienced wrist/hand pain from typing. Mine is mainly from using the mouse. But I tried this product, the Rolling Wrist Rest (MAS99504 ), and it did not disappoint.  I've tried other products in the past, but since they were stationary I would find myself having to lift my arm to sometimes move the mouse. Well this Rolling Wrist Rest is just that... it rolls. And it's small enough that I can use it with my laptop on my lap desk. Also, because of the size, it fits nicely in my laptop case so that I can take it with me wherever I might be using my laptop.  Another great product on Shoplet would be the  Microfiber Gloves (MAS18041) .  When I got my smart phone, I loved it... until Winter rolled around. Then I realized that I couldn't swipe or even answer the phone using regular gloves. ...
