OXO Office Collection and a giveaway

Business, Contests, home office, New posts, , ,

I’m all about trinkets and gadgets and when I got these OXO products to try out my first thought was how cool looking they are. But I’m going to move on from looks and talk about the OXO Collection for what else it is.. useful.

OXO Push Pin Dispenser:

  • Telescoping wand has handy magnet built into underside of lid
  • Magnet grabs and presents pins safely, avoiding finger pricks
  • Holds up to 50 push pins
  • Comes with eight OXO GOOD GRIPS™ push pins
  • The OXO push pin dispenser (+ 8 push pins) is just $4.99, a great price for something useful and space saving.

OXO Good Grips™ Push Pins features:

  • Non-slip soft grip
  • Large, contoured shape for efficiency and comfort
  • Colors include orange, red, blue and green
  • 24/Pack

OXO Pencil Cup

  • 4 compartments
  • Compartments completely removable
  • Slightly see through so you can see the paperclips or rubber bands your 3 year old dropped into the pencil cup. That’s where they were all this time!

Other OXO office products include staplers, tape dispensers, and 3-hole punchers.

Visit your local Staples store or Staples online to check out these and more OXO Office Collection products.

GIVEAWAY


OXO is giving a lucky reader an OXO Pencil Cup, Push Pin Dispenser, and Push Pins.

Leave a comment below telling me what your biggest clutter issue is.  It doesn’t have to be related to push pins or pencil cups! Entries accepted through February 25th.

EasyLunchbox Food containers and Carrying Bags

Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Contests, Food and Drink, School, , , , ,

I love food storage items.  I have a cabinet packed with all types of food storage products and one of my favorites is Easy Lunchboxes’ combo lunch and snack containers (AKA food storage containers).  Easy Lunchboxes’ Compartmentalized BPA-Free Plastic Food Storage Containers are colorful, convenient, and BPA-free. 

My 3 year old takes lunch Wednesdays and Fridays and these combined with her Citizenpip lunch bag make packing her lunch a breeze and easy for her to carry.  I usually put hummus in one compartment, carrots or crackers in another, and fruit and cheese in the 3rd compartment.  EasyLunchBoxes.com sells a lunch box cooler which is great for day trips and for older kids who take their lunch to school but my 3 year old has to fit her lunch box in her school bag and the Easy Lunchboxes’ lunch cooler is too big to fit in her bag.

Easy Lunch Boxes’ features:

  • dishwasher safe
  • microwave safe
  • refrigerator and freezer safe
  • secure snap-on lids
  • 4 bottoms with 3 compartments each
  • 4 lids – each a different color
  • very sturdy.. these are more sturdy than typical food storage containers
  • BPA-free

GIVEAWAY!

  • EasyLunchboxes.com is giving one lucky reader a set of containers and a lunch bag!

We met the cast of Percy Jackson & The Olympians The Lighting Thief!

My 10 year old is in shock! He just met the cast of Percy Jackson & the Olympians Lighting Thief.. Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Brandon T. Jackson (Grover Underwood), Alexandra Deddario (Annabeth Chase)!

We met the cast at Borders bookstore in Marietta, today where Logan, Brandon, and Alexandra answered questions from the crowd and signed autographs.

I’ve never heard such load screaming in my life. My 3 year old covered her ears and buried herself in her stroller during the screams. Girls were screaming “I love you Percy!”.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians The Lighting Thief opens in theaters February 12th and I’m sure theaters all over the country will be packed with enthuastic book readers. 

Way cool!

Are you going to be one of the first to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians The Lighting Thief in theaters?

My top 5 New Year’s Resolutions Plans

Contests, New posts, Personal, ,

I don’t do resolutions because history (my history at least) proves that 90% of them aren’t followed through with in the next 364 days… by me.
However, I have plans and below are 5 that I feel very confident that I will follow through with.. (hopefully my husband will follow through with #3 and #5) for me.

Here are the top 5 resolutions (plans) on my list:

1. Get over my serious case of Germophobia. I have to stop Lysoling my jeans and accept that I can wear them twice before washing them.

2. Don’t stress over keeping the house clean. My visitors don’t come over to tour my house, they come to visit… I hope.

3. Get new carpet for the downstairs den/playroom.

4. Spend more time out of the house with the kids.. going fun places (not the grocery store).

5. Get and keep the garage cleaned out long enough so that I can park in it for a few days at least. (will trade ad space on AtlantaMoms.com for a professional organizer!)

Well, those are my top 5 resolutions plans for 2010. What are yours?
Tell me what your top 1-3 resolutions (or plans) are and you’ll be entered to win a $15 Amazon.com gift certificate!
Just leave your list in the comments below.
