Back To School: HP Envy 5540 Review and HP Instant Ink

October 1, 2015October 15, 2015 - brandy3 2 Comments

Disclosure: A product was provided as well as a gift card to try HP Instant Ink. All opinions are 100% my own.

School is back in session full time now, and one thing I have realized is most homework is based online. Even my 2nd grader is coming home with projects where he needs to do research on the computer and print pictures or assignments out. We just had a older printer and the pictures were not good quality at all, and it was really slow.

Just in the knick of time we received the new HP Envy 5540 to review. My daughter has a big family project due soon, and needs tons of pictures as well as write a summary about them.

The Hp Envy 5540 is a wireless all in one sprinter. It prints, scans, copies, and you can print from anything including tablets and phones. I wanted to test it out so I downloaded the HP MyPrintly app and the pictures came out great, looks as if they had been professional.

The Printer aso prints incredibly fast with up to 12 pages per minute for black ink and 8 pages for colored ink. HP Envy 5540 also offers double side printing and helps you save not only on ink but paper as well.

I love being able to print from anywhere inside my house, and from any device. I also love the the HP Envy 5540 has a automatic deploy output tray, whenever my printer gets a job. I don’t have to worry about pictures or documents printing and falling to the floor.

Hp is introducing a new way to save on ink, with HP Instant Ink for newer printers. You just sign up online and for as low as $2.99 a shipment you can have ink delivered to your home.

HP Instant Ink is delivered when your printer lets the home network know you are low on ink. You also get 3 months free.

I signed up for the HP Instant Ink service and within 2 weeks I received my first replacement cartridges. It was a little off to me because according to my printer I still had plenty of ink left. It saves me from having to go to the store though, or worry about if I have twenty dollars to go buy new cartridges in store.

School is just getting back in session in a few states. Here in Connecticut the kids are already on their fourth day of school, and my husband starting a new job. I wasn’t sure if they would come home in a good mood or bad mood, since everything is so new. I decided I would set up some snacks for them when they walked in from their first day.

The Popcorn Factory sent us a University Snacks Stash to review, and it was perfect for the first day blues.

The University Snacks Stash contains:
Buffalo ranch popcorn
Sour green apple popcorn
Cheese popcorn
White cheddar
Mini pretzels
Sour sassy taffy
Sour gummy stars
Dry Roasted Peanuts
Chocolate Chip Cookies
assorted Jelly Belly Beans

It was the perfect snack for the first day blues. The favorite was the candy apple popcorn, they said it tasted just like one of their favorite candies. My favorite was the gummy stars, they were very sweet and good.

Popcorn Factory is the perfect place to find gifts for everyone or just simply have a great snack center piece for a gathering. They have options for every occasion, visit Popcorn Factory to see the all the varieties.

Graduation: Send Them Off With Swiss Army Gear

With graduation comes new opportunities and lots of trips. When my husband was applying to grad school and even college, he had to fly all over for interviews. He was repacking his bag constantly, even now with job interviews he is traveling out of state.

The key to having a good trip is making sure you have the right suitcase and that it is easy to handle.

The Victorinox Spectra carry on is perfect for a graduation gift. It’s great for the few days they will be spending on interviews, or even if they just want to celebrate on vacation.

It has dual access to compartments and extra storage. I was amazed at how many secret compartments and openings there are.

We packed for a 2 day trip and had so much room left. Some of my favorite features are…
The handle has a easy glide button and can lock into place.
Front easy access pocket to get to a laptop, tablet, or book when traveling.
Wheels are very easy to glide.
My favorite: The zipper doubles as a lock, so you can ensure no one can go through your items.

Selected as Best Luggage in the 2014 Travel + Leisure Design Awards
Winner of the Coveted 2014 Red Dot Award for Design Excellence

You can find the Spectra Carryon at Swiss Army.

I have been on the hunt for months for a perfect frame to hang my husband’s Diplomas. You always see them hanging in a Professors Office or even a Doctors Office.

I wanted him to have the perfect frame, but I couldn’t find anything in stores and the matting and framing solution were becoming a headache. I googled some options and found DiplomaFrame.com and loved their designs. I also found their website very easy to use as all the matting and instructions for finding the right frame are there.

After choosing my dimensions and matting I wanted I received a confirmation email with instructions and the videos they have are so reassuring. They take the upmost care to ensure your frame is delivered properly and in shape.

The frame also came with care instructions and proper ways to preserve your document. I love the way it turned out and my husband was very impressed. I even had the Doctor Of Philosophy emblem stamped on the matting.

You can find the right gift for your graduate at Diploma Frame Frames start at $74.

Win your own Diploma Frame, right now Church Hill Classics is having a Pinterest contest. 3 winners will each receive their own frame. All you have to do to enter is create a grad gift wish list on Pinterest. You can find more info out here.

Planes Fire and Rescue was a hot movie this summer and now the game is out.

Dusty joins forces with an elite crew of fire fighting aircraft and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers to save the national park. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.

Features:

20 academy missions and 12 story missions
Earn badges as you play fire fighting mini games
Switch between 8 different characters including Dusty, Avalanche, Lil Dipper and more
See your favorite places from the movie while you play

My son loves the movie Planes. Planes Fire and Rescue has to be his favorite as he wants to be a firefighter so getting to see his favorite character in action was exciting for him. Now with the game he gets to help dusty put out fires and learn all about fighting fires.
The game was a bit hard to understand at first as my son could not figure out all the controls, but is getting better. His favorite part is getting Dusty to pick up water and then spraying the fires out.

The game is available on WII U, 3DS and WII.
