I Cleaned Up My Kitchen Counters! Love the Fiskars Art Caddy

20130128-070427.jpg

So check out what had recently happened to one of the corners in my kitchen.  With two elementary-school aged kids coming home with homework each weekday, we're always in need of the usuals - crayons, colored pencils, pencils, glue sticks and scissors.  While I have a neat little organized area in my laundry room for arts & crafts, we had … [Read more...]

Staples EasyCanvas – Affordable, Perfect Holiday Gift

Everyone loves a great family photo, right? And the trend in recent years has been to blow up the best of your photos and turn them into stretched canvas artwork in your house.

Staples Arc Notebook Keeps Me Organized #MomMixer

Last week at the Mom Mixer in Philadelphia,  I was so excited to be able to send all of our attendees home with a Staples Arc Notebook.  Because I love mine.  I may try and keep myself organized online and on my computer as much as I can, but the end of the day nothing beats having a notebook and the ability to keep notes written by your own … [Read more...]

Tax Season #Giveaway from Staples: Mailmate Shredder & Accordian File

mailmate7

Tax Season again. All I have to say about that is, BLAH! My poor tax lady just loves me this time of year - I'm definitely not a fan of dealing with receipts, random 1099s and all that good paperwork that comes along with having to do your taxes. With all that personal information, it's key that you have a paper shredder, right? All those … [Read more...]

Laundry Room OverHaul; Arts & Craft Organization

20120212-170219.jpg

I'm embarrassed to be sharing these before photos. The only reason I'm doing it is because I can post an after photo. Otherwise, I always thought that if anyone actually took a look at my laundry room they might apply on the sly for my family to appear on an episode of Hoarders. Our laundry room is in the middle of our first floor and pretty … [Read more...]

A Fresh Take: Minted.com Holiday Cards

Yearline card

I've made holiday cards through a number of companies over the past few years. Some them all blur together, offering fine, but not memorable products or services. Others stand out.
