Like so many moms, spring is a season for organizing my house and my life. It starts with that day when I can finally pack away the bulky winter coats, snow pants and accessories. The uncluttered entryway that results always inspires me to spread my organizing to other rooms. Some are easier than others to get looking their best, but no area gives me a bigger challenge than my computer area. After all, I spend a lot of time there and deal with a lot of paperwork!

Fortunately, Staples Canada has a solution for me with its new Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery supplies. From binders to decals to desk accessories, these products are as stylish as they are useful and I was thrilled when I received an assortment of the new products to help organize my workspace. I immediately fell in love with the adorable Stack+Fit Shagreen Box with Lid. It was just the right size for my business cards and a few pens and my life was so much easier with it close beside my computer. Even better, it also fit perfectly inside the Stack+Fit Tray!

I really enjoyed the assortment of labels and tags, especially the Small ElastiNote Tags. These clever tags had stretchy elastic bands at the top so that they could be wrapped around the many cords around my laptop and our family’s computer. One of my biggest pet peeves is struggling to determine which electrical cord belongs to which device when I’m trying to charge up my phone or plug in another item. With the handy ElastiNote Tags, that’s no longer a problem! Labelling all the cords with their device names took a bit of time, but it was well worth it to eliminate the guesswork when I need an outlet! And the tags are even water resistant so they’re great for labelling plants or using outdoors too!

I also received some 1/3 Cut File Folders, UltraHold Sticky Notes, Embossed Labels and a handy 8-Pocket Poly Accordion File. But my favourite product was the Premium Shagreen Journal. This handy book not only had blank pages with a date that I filled in myself so that it could be started at any time, it also had a five-year calendar of important dates and an eleven-page entertaining guide! The book is perfect for any mom; the full-size pages for each day meant that I had room to schedule my blog work, my personal appointments, my boys’ events and my husband’s activities all in one place! Needless to say, I’m in love with this journal!
