With our homeschool back in full swing, it was the perfect time to have an opportunity to test the HP Deskjet 3052A All-in-One Printer. I’ve kept it humming, printing Algebra exams and multiplication tests, as well as making posters and worksheets. Whatever your printing needs, it will be hard to find a simpler to use, [...]
The Innotab 2, from VTech, puts all the latest technology in the hands of your kids, in a form that is designed just for them! Rugged and durable, like VTech’s MobiGo2, the Innotab gives kids the freedom to move around and be kids, taking the tablet with them where they play; and it gives you the [...]
My kids have been enamored of technology since they were very small. I recall our older children, sitting at the desk with my husband, not more than two or three, and he was already teaching them to use and control a mouse. Not such a big deal, nowadays, but that was more than 20 years [...]
I love innovations that save me time and save me money. If they save waste and the environment, that just puts them over the top, in my kitchen! Rubbermaid LunchBlox are those kinds of products. I know you’ll be like me, when you try them, wondering, “Why didn’t anyone think of that before?” These durable [...]
Sam’s Club is one of my favorite stores for stocking up on household essentials. Buying in bulk is an excellent way to save money and I’m never disappointed by the quality of the products I purchase there. Two of my favorite budget savers are the 25 lb bags of all purpose flour and 10 lb [...]
The first week of back-to-school can be a HUGE adjustment for families transitioning from summer to more busy and rigid schedules. Options for simplifying dinner, packing quick and easy lunches and offering tasty after-school snacks are on the mind of the good people at Kraft Foods and they have some fantastic, not to mention delicious, [...]
The timing couldn’t be better for my review of the Fellowes Saturn2 95 Laminator. We kicked off the new homeschool year, this week, and I’ve already put the easy-to-use laminator to good use. Previously, laminating a sheet for lessons meant that I had to wrestle long, unwieldy sheets of clear contact paper, hope to apply it without [...]
It’s that time of year, again, and it promises to be just as hectic as all the years before it. :) Back-to-school signals so many things, cooler weather, more structured and scheduled days and more activity to squeeze into that structure. Finding the time to shop and prep for the kids moving back into their [...]
I am very fortunate to be able to participate in Elmer’s Bag-It-Forward program, again, this year. If you have never participated, you’re going to love it; and for those of you who are veterans, it’s time once again, to break out the school supplies and show us your wonderful servant’s heart! The Bag-It-Forward program [...]
This is not your grandma’s Scrabble. It’s fast-paced fun and an excellent tool for helping kids to understand phonics and spelling. Whether we are using it as a board game, just for fun, or as a tool during a homeschool Language Arts lesson, this excellent game from Hasbro is a Top Ten pick for this [...]
