Epson iLabel App makes Back To School Easy

August 28, 2014August 28, 2014 - brandy3

I can’t believe the kids are heading back to school in under 2 weeks. We are excited and getting prepared. We have all our supplies bought and separated by child. All we need to do is label the items with their names. My kids like to keep track of their stuff, as things get misplaced and borrowed, having their name on it helps to make sure it is returned.

The Epson LW-600P is the first app-enabled label printer on the market,offering unmatched capabilities in the world of label creation.

Downloading the Epson iLabel App is free and you just turn on your bluetooth and connect the printer to your iPad.

You simply type what you want the label to say and you can ad emoticons or symbols to add effects. Then just peel the back and stick. We used the to label the kids school supplies. My daughter is in 4th and needs tons of stuff including colored binders. The labels were perfect.
It can be a little tricky trying to peel off the back to get to the sticker, but if you have nails or key it helps loosen it.

We also received the Epson Iron On Label Kit. This was a bit different from the LW600P. It is a regular label printer with a small keyboard. you type what you want print and cut. Then iron on clothing and other products.
We used them to iron on the inside of their backpacks, for back to school.

It seemed a little difficult to iron on some things but it all worked out in the end. I have happy kids who are ready to show off their new gear without the worry of it getting lost or stolen.

The labels have made things so much easier in my house with organization and labeling the kids items.

Grandparents Day Gift Basket Review

August 27, 2014August 27, 2014 - brandy3

Grandparents Day is in less than 2 weeks, and unfortunately it’s one of th most forgotten holidays. Don’t let it slip by this year, remind your grandparents how much they mean to you, or your parents how much they mean to your kids.

Some great gift ideas are gift baskets. You can do something simple like a basket of nuts or cookies and chocolate. You can also go all out and get a big basket with wine and cheese with crackers.
I received a baked goods basket, and it was so adorable when it arrived. Packaged very neatly with a big bow. Inside the basket was a assortment of cookies and brownies, including cheesecake brownie that was just delicious. Everything was very soft and fresh baked. It was the perfect gift for a loved one.

GourmetGiftBaskets has tons to choose from for Grandparents Day: The top 4 gifts include….

Almond Strawberry Delight $19.99
Baked Goods Sampler Basket $29.99
Wine Party Picnic Ravenswood Duo $99.99
Ultimate Margarita Madness Bucket $119.99

They have bigger versions of all the baskets available also.

The cookies and brownies are very cute and soft, so no worrying about having to bite into a hard baked product. My favorite product out of the basket would have to be the chocolate chip cookies. They are so moist and my grandmother would make them for me all the time as a child, so it’s the perfect reminder.

I am sending a big package to my grandmother this year, as she is my only surviving grandparent and she is over two thousand miles away from me, so daily phone calls and pictures always work for me.

Don’t Forget Grandparents Day is September 7, 2014, Show them your love this year.

What will you be getting for your Grandparents?

August 20, 2014March 24, 2016 - brandy3

I have to pack 4 lunches everyday. Three of them are easy as they are my children’s lunches and have their favorites. My husband’s lunch is a bit more tricky. He likes to mix it up as much as he can. Different lunch meats and sides every few days.We got to try Hormel Natural Choice Flame Seared Ham. My husband loved it. He said that it tasted more fresh than other lunch meats and had a lot of flavor. This is his new favorite meat now, so I will be looking for it in stores.
