The Northwest Preschool Bookfair closes on Wednesday 3/29 and you'll have the books in time for Easter (in the continental states & HI/AK only please - I've never shipped to HI & AK so I don't know shipping times for there or for the APO's.)

Photobucket


Weekend Follower Hop
Friday - Sunday

Dear Friends ~ We all know that GFC is ending and this week I found out that Linky Tools has created a very similar gadget that bloggers can use to link up their followers. I removed GFC about a month ago and have had several people comment that they couldn't figure out how to follow me. I am so glad we have another option and I can see who my friends are!

Heather @ AtThePicketFence.blogspot.com has written up a wonderful post with a tutorial on how to use Linky Followers including the pros and cons to the program. You can read it here for more information: http://tiny.cc/6qo0g .

Link up your blog with your "HOME" page (no giveaways please) on this blog. If you are ready to switch to Linky Followers ~ click here to set up your account and add the gadget to your blog.

Please share on your favorite social media:

Link Up Your GFC & Linky Followers! Pls RT @familyliteracy  http://shar.es/fDpuI ~ It'll be up all weekend!

My review:
I received the Brilliant Screen Cleaning Wipes to use on my TV and computer screen.  (Yes, I don't have a cell phone, smart phone or PDA.)  I've used the eyeglass cleaner products from Black Diamond and I love that so I knew that I would love these.  

What I really like about the wipes is the convenience.  Each set is packaged so you can throw it in your purse and use it if you get make up on your phone while chatting.  They come really handy on a trip to clean your laptop or TV if there are any smears. You receive two attached pouches one with a wet wipe and one with a dry wipe.  I didn't really use the dry wipe - - the solution dries pretty fast on the screen you're cleaning (and there isn't any alcohol or ammonia in the solution which is great!).  

To Purchase:
You can purchase the Screen Cleaning Wipes at GetCleanersOnline.com for $3.99 for a package of 5 sets.  I keep them in my desk drawer for emergencies and like I said they're really easy to throw in your purse or even the glove compartment.

Win a box of the Screen Cleaning Wipes from Black Diamond!

Stress & Pancakes

Just Married with Coupons


I had a really stressful week for some reason.  The beginning of the week wasn't to bad but by Wednesday I went to work at my usual time and as soon as I walked in the door I was told that if I had an email from myself with the subject line "Trouble" NOT to open it, just delete it.  Now, I was fine with that - but I definitely wasn't expecting to have a hacker break into BOTH of my gmail accounts (I had them linked together), change ALL of my passwords, find my Paypal account (which they did not manage to break into and then do the same to my Facebook account.




Anyway, I figured I had earned Pancakes from IHop tonight and took myself out, but first I went to Half Price Books (I LOVE that place) and got myself the January 2011 Better Homes and Gardens.  There was a really good article that gives you 25 ways to pare down and get organized for a new year - here are my favorites:


  1. Reserve one Saturday morning every few months for a family cleanout.  Set a timer for 30 minutes and have each person find things in his or her own space to donate or throw away.  Box up the donations and drop them off right away, then reward yourselves with lunch out - or better yet - how about a picnic lunch and an afternoon at the park?  ~ Meredith Schwartz, penelopeloveslists.com
  2. I LOVE this idea!  Make clutter busting a family game.  Write tasks on Ping-Pong balls.  Each person chooses a ball, completes the task, then chooses another one.  After 30 minutes, whoever has the most balls gets a prize - like a no chores day or gets to choose a family activity for the afternoon! (By Alicia Rockmore and Sarah Welch, authors of Pretty Neat: Get Organized and Let Go of Perfection

You can post your ideas for everyone to see in the comments below.  I can't wait to read them all - Thanks!  Tina
