I basically live at work for 40-45 hours per week. This includes sitting in a cubicle where I am surrounded by office supplies. The one I use the most is my telephone of course! They provide me with a Panasonic Advanced ITS corded phone. (for whatever reason, they refuse to get us cordless phones!) This phone is corded which is an inconvenience at times because sometimes I have to go to my fili...

This pink and white Victorian Bench Toy box was given to us by friends, as their daughter had outgrown it. We put it in my daughter's room and just can't believe how practical it is. It is a bench to sit on, but the top comes off and underneath is a storage area. You can put toys in there, but sometimes we will put clothes in there for the next season. On top of the bench, we put my dau...

We seem to go through so much paper in our printer! I buy the Georgia Pacific copy paper at Walmart. I get the pack of 500 sheets of 8.5" by 11" paper. I also tend to get the "Soft White" color that has a brightness of 88.  There is whiter paper made by this same company, but it is more expensive, and this paper is good enough for what we need it for. This paper has a n...

I love all of the products that Baby Einstein put out. We have most of the DVDs and we have lots of their books as well. I bought the Baby Einstein "Let's Look" book for my youngest son who is 18 months old. The book says on the front that it is for all ages; however, I can't picture my 6 year old son sitting down to read this book. BUT, my 18 month old loves this book. It is ...

My oldest son attended this preschool program for two years and completely loved it. The teachers are wonderful and very knowledgeable about child development. One of the best features of East Side Learning Center, is that they offer a great summer program for children ages 3 thru 12. They divide the children into different groups according to their age. The activities and field trips during th...

My mom has this garden cart and all I can say is that I may be getting one of these this Spring!  What a lifesaver this would be when my husband and I are outside tending to the yard and garden.  This cart is fairly compact and holds up to 18 different garden/yard tools.  I really like that it is easy to move from point A to point B.  My mom said that it can be difficult to ...

Even before I got pregnant this time around, I was taking a prenatal vitamin, per the advice of my doctor. I recently ran out of the normal prenatal vitamins I was taking so I picked up a large bottle of the Walgreens Prenatal Vitamins.The bottle I purchased has 240 vitamins in it and I only paid $17.99 for it. That was a great deal when I was comparing prices.  The Walgreens Prenatal...

I figured that I would try Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant to see if in fact it is all that they have built it up to be and to see if it worth the extra money.  The price is quite high on it compared to other deodorants.  In fact, it is more than triple the price of some deodorants, but there are coupons available for it!! That being said, it does prove to be a good deodorant....

I am always looking to expand my perfume collection without paying out a ton of money. So you can just imagine my happiness when I found Amerigirl perfume. It smells just like Tommy Girl, except you don't have to take a second mortgage out on your home to buy it! I bought a big 3.3 ounce bottle of Amerigirl perfume for only $5. I have had this bottle for approximately 6 months. Granted, I d...

This is another DVD in the series of Baby Einstein movies. In this video, babies and toddlers learn about shapes through music, an animated clown, and puppet shows. This DVD shows shapes that occur in a child's world.There is an animated clown and each part of the clown is a certain shape. There is a song with a very catchy tune that goes along with putting together the animated&n...

This Pregnancy Wedge was given to me as a hand-me-down from a good friend. She loved this when she was pregnant; however, she gave it to me with my last pregnancy because she is done having babies.This product is made by the very reputable "Boppy" company.  It comes with a soft, cotton slipcover that comes off easily so that you can wash it. This product was a true lifesaver...

When my kids were at the stage where they wanted baby food, I thought to myself as I looked at the display of all different baby foods: "WOW! Okay, what is the difference between these foods?"  I usually bought the Beech Nut baby food, as it was one of the cheaper brands and the company was very generous about sending me coupons for their baby food.  My kids loved their baby...

My mom is one of those "impulse buyers" so in the dead middle of summer, she goes out and buys a SPLASH pool, which is an above ground pool, for herself. Okay, fast forward to the day she says to me "I'm going to give you the pool since we don't really use it around here or have time to care for it."  Of course I took it! I knew that with 3 kids, we wo...

My friend bought her husband one of these REALLY BIG UNIVERSAL REMOTE controls for their TV, VCR, and DVD player. At the time, I thought that they were kind of obnoxiously huge and decided against buying one. This past Christmas season, I saw the REALLY BIG Universal Remote and they were on sale, so I grabbed one for only $10. I figured it would be a great gag gift for my hubby, since he is FOR...

When we were planning our wedding, I heard from everyone that we just had to use Jacques Pastry Shop for our cake. So, hubby (fiance at the time!) and I went to Jacques Pastry Shop in Pembroke, NH to do some taste testing. Immediately upon entering the shop, I noticed how quaint and clean the place was. Also, the yummy smell of fresh pastries hit both of us like a brick wall. The woma...

When I began working in an office 8 years ago, I knew that I would need a briefcase, especially since I attend court hearings for my job. I went to Wilson's Leather store to find a durable, attractive briefcase. I did find one, however, it is more like a tote than a briefcase. It has multiple pockets, 2 large ones and two small ones. You can buckle the case closed, however, a con with this ...

I bought the Laser Level by Fixit Tools for my hubby about 2 Christmases ago. I thought that he would absolutely just fall in love with it. It is a small tool designed with a laser that helps you hang pictures, cabinets, or shelves evenly. The laser light beam can project horizontally or vertically and even in coreners. This particular Laser Level has an 8 foot measuring tape that can lock ...

Before my hubby and I were married or even engaged for that matter, we would go into jewelry stores and just "window shop".  We stepped into Belden Jewelers one day and I saw just the most beautiful diamond I had ever seen. The clarity was wonderful, the cut was wonderful, and the size was just perfect for my tiny fingers. The problem was the setting that it was put in. It really...

I love my two Nalgene bottles so much that I decided to buy my mother this "Life Is Good" Nalgene water bottle.  She loves the "Life Is Good" clothing and various products, so this gift was perfect for her.This water bottle, like the original Nalgene water bottles, holds 32 ounces of water and has the measure graduations on the side of the bottle.  It is made out o...

My friend recently separated from her husband.  Part of the deal was that she could take half of the possessions and her soon to be ex-hubby would keep the house and the things that belonged to him.  My friend wanted to take her Arctic Cat ATV; however, she was moving into an apartment temporarily and could not store it there.  Of course, being the great friend that I am, I ...
