Laser Print Paper from Hammermill and #shopletreviews

With Charlie returning to school on the 24th of August and his being in second grade we was not sure if he would need a computer or a printer for his homework. So David went into the office the other day and brought my printer into the front room so I would have it for Charlie if I needed it.

But also for me for work and for David to make copies of his paperwork. But we both thought we had copy paper only it turned out that I did not have any. So when I was online and found out that Shoplet was looking for Bloggers to review Hammermills Laser Print paper I knew I needed to apply.

But I was not sure I was approved and was getting ready to go out and pick up some paper when the mailman dropped a package off to my mother n law and it turned out to be a package from #shopletreviews and I was so excited as it had the Laser Paper from Hammermill I wanted to try out inside the box. As well as a Coffee Mug.

Once Charlie saw the paper he was so excited as he had been wanting to make a card for his teacher and he asked if he could have a couple sheets to draw on and I let him as I wanted to see how it would work. It did wonderfully on the card. Once he was done he asked to make a copy of it to give to his Music teacher as well. So we hooked up the printer and printed a copy out and it turned out perfectly.

This Laser Paper from Hammermill can be used for so many things that it is now my go to paper. Because I can use it to write out our grocery list. Charlie can use it for school. David for work and me for things I need to print off the computer for the Blog. Plus I can share it with my mother n law as she does work for my father n laws trucking company and is always printing things out for it.

If you have not heard of Hammermill you can find them on Shoplet.com and if you have not had the chance to try out there Laser Paper you should as it will make both work and school assignments so much easier to complete.

Both Charlie and David says this would make a nice Christmas Gift for anyone that needs to print out a lot of papers. As it is jam free. It does not smear. Plus it looks more professional than some other brands of paper I have used in the past. Plus it does not tear like a lot of paper I have used in the past.

I like knowing there is other items from Hammermill that I can purchase on #Shoplet.com as it will make "Back to School Shopping" pain free!! Especially since we can shop online and not have to leave home which will save both time and money.

Also in this package was a Coffee Mug which both David and Charlie claimed as soon as we opened the package. So I am not sure who will end up with it. But it was a nice treat as it was a pretty dark blue and it is very well made. It is heavy which will keep it from breaking. But not to heavy that you can not use it everyday. You can sit it on your desk to hold pencils or change or do like Charlie does and drink Chocolate Milk out of it. I would drink hot tea out of it if I was allowed to use it. But I do not think I will be able to since both David and Charlie think the Coffee Cup is there's.

I was sent both the Coffee Cup and the Laser Paper from Hammermill for free to conduct the review. But the thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.



Thank you,

I thought for Charlies stocking I would get him some hair gel in different colors so he could do his hair in a Mohawk.

I got him the blue as it used to be his favorite color and the one that would go with more of his clothes. Plus I knew David would like the blue gel.  To see what other colors I chose please visit http://mommiespov.com/zachs-wax/

Dezign with A Z

Today I would like to share with you a wall mural I had made in memory of Suzzane from
 Dezign With A Z. I chose this mural called I Believe I Can Fly as "I Believe" is something
Suzzane lived by.

David and I chose it together and even though I could chose the color I would like my Angel to be David chose black. I was not to sure I would like that color but once it arrived and David put it up on the wall I could tell it was the perfect color for our apartment.

But if it had been my choice I would have chosen pink. I like that this mural could be customized or it could be left just the way it was.

 I think later on I am going to have one made with Charlies name on it to add to my other wall. This way I will always have both of my children with me.

 The thing I enjoyed about Dezign With A Z is that they carry so much more than the murals.

  So with  Dezign With Z I would be able to fix up every room in my home. The reason I  say this is I saw things David would enjoy as well as Charlie and I.

Here is the one I know I would chose in memory of Suzzane as she is a Butterfly flying free and since it is pink and that was here favorite color it fits her to a T.

 If I wanted one for the kitchen I could chose one like this one or one with a gentlemen on it since David does most of the cooking as I usually work once he arrives at home.

For Charlie I could chose either a soccer mural or a guitar as he loves anything to do with music. I also saw this one that he would enjoy

Something else that I think is fun and would like to order for my house someday is the ones that I can write on as there is chalk boards which would make leaving notes for the people in my household so much easier. There is even wall clocks and car decals which I can use with the businesses I am in. Plus I even saw mirrors which I need as I only have one in the bathroom and it would be so nice to have them in the bedrooms for Charlie and I to use as they make nice decorations.

 One thing I found that I wish Santa would bring me is a skin for my laptop.

The one I liked is above.

One other  nice thing about Dezign With a Z is that they offer specials like the one above and so if you would like check their wall decals out.:

Zebra Pens I am a Pen Freak!!!

I Love all kinds of pens. I would buy them every time I venture into a store if I could. I figure you can never have to many. So I try and collect as many free pens as I can.

So when I found out I would be able to review pens from Zebra Pens I was on top of the moon.

When they arrived David opened the box and saw it was a nice black kit but did not know what was inside it. When he saw it was pens he tried to take them from me. He is also pen crazy.

Only he let me have them and so I have been testing them out and will have a review for you next week with all the awesome pens I was able to get.

Plus I will also tell you about the cute little Zebra I was sent that Charlie has taken away from me.

www.ZebraPen.comProduct Details

• Sold in Packs of 7
• Experience superb writing comfort with the soft rubber grip.
• Retractable pen protects pockets and purses.
• Quick-drying ink reduces smearing to keep your documents clean and safe.
• See Full Product Description
• I was so excited that these where one of the pens I was able to try as they have the rubber grip so my fingers would not get sore as I use them. As a Blogger I always write my reviews out on papaer and I use pens to do this with. Since I know the Z-Grip comes in packages of 7 I can not wait to go and purchase some as will be able to put one in every room of the house as it does not matter where I am there is never a pen in that room. The one thing I will have to watch for though is Charlie as he will take my pens as he Loves different ones as much as I do. Plus he will like the light blue one and claim it. I can almost bet David will take the black one. So that would leave me 5 pens that should allow me enough to do all the reviews I need to do. 

When I tried the Z-Grip Pen I was sent I was hooked as it wrties so smotth. It does not smear. Plus it does not get all over you. With the color of the pen I can find it no matter where I sit it down at. I like that it is a Ball Point Pen as I always lose the caps to the pens I have. If I where going to school and needed pens I would purchase these as they write so smooth. I think they would make nice stocking stuffers. I can not wait to buy a whole package of them. 

BlankZ Review/Giveaway

Today I would like to share you a product I was given for a review and it is called BlankZ. These are animals that we can write on. I was given  this one and Charlie feel in Love with it right away. I like that it was easy for him to color. Plus I like that they are so soft. Charlie likes that he can wash it and color it again and again.

I would like to get the BlankZ for Charlie when he graduates this year for his class to sign and since he is a Bulldog if I do I will get him the Bully Dog As for me I would like either the elephantor the Seal which was one of my daughters favorite animals

Welcome to Charlie's Review for Peter Pauper Press

Today I would like to let you know that I have a Guest Reviewer and it is Charlie. He is going to share with you his thoughts on the items Suzanne sent him from Peter Pauper Press which is at http://www.PeterPauperPress.com

Hello, I am Charlie and I love Spongebob. So this nice lady sent me a bookmaker with Spongebob on it. I love it as I love to have my mom read to me. Plus I can use it at school. My friends like it as well. I like the blue on it. Plus I like the ribbon at the end of it. Moms says it is a tassel. I just think it is cool.

Daddy, if your reading my review here is a lot of different ones that mommy and I like and I think you should get us some of them. As you know we both Love to read. I am so sorry there is not one for you but you do not like to read.


Then I also was given a Scratch and Sketch set with Spongerbob as this is what I call him on it. I like the book as I can take it with me when we go out. Plus since I like to draw it is fun. It comes with a pencil that makes the pictures appear which is fun. I think my sister Leslie would like this.

If you have not heard of my friends site Peter Pauper Press then you should go and check it out at http://www.PeterPauperPress.com as I know you will find some awesome items for your kids.



Dear Santa:

If you read the reviews my mom and I write would you Please get me the books above that my mom allowed me to put at the top of the review as they go with my Spongerbob and they keep me out of my moms hair while she works.

Today I thought I would share this post I found with you: 22 Activities for Busy Toddlers | Ideas to Keep Your Child Entertained

22 Activities for Busy Toddlers | Ideas to Keep Your Child Entertained

Even though Charlie is 4 almost 5 I found a lot of ideals from this post that I can do with him to help keep him busy.

 He loves to build tents or forts and we do this at least once a week.

I can give him a empty box and he will play for hours.

 He loves bubbles as well.

We also do a lot of craft projects and I am thinking of covering the picnic table in the complex and letting him color as much or as little as he likes and if anyone wants to draw as well that is fine as we can use it to cover the walls in his bedroom.

 If you have other ideals on how to keep a little one busy Please share them with me because I really need to buckle down and work and it is hard when I have to stop every few minutes to answer a question or to check and make sure he has not gotten into anything.

Tuesday Moms Bookshelf & More: Easter Coloring Pages.

One of my favorite things to do with Charlie is too color. I do not care what it is I just love to sit down and color. So I thought with Easter being around the corner that I would share some pages I saw on Moms Bookshelf and More and ask you to grab your favorite child and come color with us.

Which picture would you like to color?
I think I will color the little girl Praying as she reminds me of Suzzane. Charlie has chosen the picture of the Kangaroo. So which one would you like?

PR~ Twist n' Write pens~

Twist n Write Pens

 Once I had seen these pens on a site while browsing the Internet. \

Knowing that these  pens teaches children the right way to write
made me want to try them out as soon as possible.

So I was excited when Twist n Write  said they would work with me on a review.

As I have a son who is 3 and I am working with him on his numbers and letters.

I noticed since we have started to use them he is much more confident in his writing.

He also ask for them instead of regular pens and pencils which is nice as it shows he likes them.

I wish they would use these in pre school as I really think it would help children master writing faster.

I am left handed and if I try and write a lot my hand will start to shake and my writing is hard to read with these pens I do not have this problem.

I have even seen my husband pick them up and use them which is nice.

If you are looking for new and unusual gifts for Easter I would say pick up a pack of these.

I would think even teenagers would like it as it would make it easier when they're doing the
research papers they have to write.

Knowing they come in 4 fun colors would be nice if you have more than one child as you could give each child a certain color and if they lose there's they could not take someone else's as everyone would know whose is whose.


Teach kids the WRITE way to write!

•Designed specifically for children's small hands
•2 mm pencil lead. Never needs sharpening
•Safe for Scantron test taking (#2 pencil lead)
