Staying Healthy AND Clean This School Year!

by

Kids are dirty people. Boys are the worst, at least mine are. They have to touch everything! The trash cans in the parking lot, the gum on the asphalt, the tires on the car…EVERYTHING! And meal times? Forgetaboutit… I am constantly trying to keep their hands (and feet) clean and honestly I can’t even focus … Read more

Laminate for Life

by

I have always been a lover of all things laminated. I don’t know what it is about that smooth, plasticky feel, but I loves it. In the past I have taken things to our local print/copy shop to get laminating done, but now I can do it at home! 

I recently got to try out this Fellowes Saturn2 95 Laminator and I am hooked. Oh, the possibilities!  School papers and projects, office organization, file folder games, quiet time activities…egads!

As a mom with young kids, I particularly appreciate a few of the features of this machine.

  1. HeatGuard Technology consisting of double-walled insulation that keeps heat inside – comfortable to touch and safe for children.
  2. Power button turns the machine on to the cold lamination setting.
The machine is compact but large enough to fit letter size documents AND there are special settings for different laminating materials to ensure the best possible quality, strength, and protection. I can leave it out on the table or tuck it away in a drawer so storage is no problem.
After determining the Saturn2 95’s lovable qualities, I was ready to get to work!

Drawer Liners

My first project was making some drawer liners. I cut a piece of scrapbook paper down to fit the drawer, laminated it, and slipped it inside this drawer. When it gets a little dusty or gunky, I can pull out the laminated sheet of paper, wipe with a damp rag, and put it back. And it’s so cute!

  I first came across this product about 10 years ago. I worked after school, weekends, and summers at the local pharmacy, and the first time I saw this product I thought it was a joke. I asked my boss, the pharmacist, about it and he told me it was no joke, and Boudreaux’s Butt … Read more

Party at Target!

by

If I had to choose a favorite department store it would be… TARGET! I hit the $1 bins every time we have a birthday party or road trip and always find great seasonal and educational items for the kid – I picked up these great kid’s sunglasses and twisty straws for our most recent road … Read more

Splashy Splashy!

by

We are swinging into summer early this year with one of Step2’s new spring products! We received the very splashy Big Splash Waterpark toy to review and it is a shame the blistering hot summer is not really here yet because Gus and Elliot want to play in the water every day! This water toy … Read more
