Get Ready for the New School Year with the DYMO LabelManager 160P from Staples Canada

September 7, 2016 by Kathryn

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Newell Rubbermaid®. The opinions and texts are all mine.

Most years, I’m a pro at getting my boys back to school with as little fuss and bother as possible. But this year I have to admit that I’m feeling a little unprepared. My boys are attending a new school for the first time in their lives. A month of back to back vacations meant I never got the chance to buy school supplies in advance as I usually do. And now, school registration is just a week away and I’m frantically stocking up on the supplies my boys will need for a successful year of learning.

As usual, every item my boys will be using this year needs to be labelled with their names and most years, that’s no problem at all. I love ordering printed personalized labels every year to save me the time of individually writing their names on each item they use at school. But this year, the constant bustle meant I never had a chance to order labels for the new school year. So what’s a mom that’s short on time to do? Head to Staples for the DYMO® LabelManager™ 160P label maker!

This sleek little handheld label maker is so easy to use and looked like the perfect solution for my back-to-school labeling needs. The QWERTY keyboard let me quickly enter the words I wanted to print, while formatting buttons gave me options including font size, bold text, italics and adding symbols. Then, with the push of a button, a crisp black and white label was printed, ready to be applied to school gear. But best of all, the reprint feature meant that I just had to keep pressing the print button to make multiples of the same label! [Read more…]

The Top 3 Ultimate Holiday Movie Picks #StreamInto2015

November 30, 2014 by Kathryn 44 Comments

Recently I had the chance to enjoy a holiday movie extravaganza with my boys thanks to Staples Canada. The company sent us a holiday movie kit that contained a variety of fun items including a Roku 3 Streaming Media Player so that we could use our favourite online services to enjoy all the movies we wanted. The goal was to choose an ultimate holiday movie and after plenty of deliberation, we made our decision!

I loved getting suggestions from readers about their favourite holiday movie and I have to admit that I was a little surprised how many movies I had forgotten about. The Polar Express was one of my very favourite holiday films when it was first released, yet I hadn’t even thought to put it on in the last few years. And who doesn’t love the silly adventures of Ralphie in A Christmas Story? In fact, after all the awesome suggestion we had so much trouble narrowing it down that we decided on three ultimate Christmas movies, perfect for different occasions. These were our picks!

Ultimate Feel-Good Holiday Movie – The Santa Clause

When it comes to holiday movies that touch the heart, there’s no shortage of contenders. The Santa Clause was a winner for our family because it consistently entertained both kids and adults, it had a great message and it really embraced the magic and wonder of Christmas. Even having seen the movie numerous times, I still get teary-eyed as I watch. But of course, with Tim Allen starring, there are plenty of laughs as well. What more could anyone want when they’re in the mood for holiday cheer? [Read more…]

It’s Time To Stream Into 2015 with Staples Canada and Choose an Ultimate Holiday Movie-Giveaway

October 30, 2014 by Kathryn 215 Comments

One of my favourite things about the holiday season is watching holiday movies and there are so many to choose from! While I can watch almost any holiday movie and enjoy it, I do have a few special favourites and so do my boys. Zackary loves the silliness and high energy of Jingle All The Way. Benjamin prefers classic cartoons including Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman. And I’m often torn between classics like Miracle on 34th Street and new holiday favourites such as Elf.

So this year, I’ve teamed up with Staples Canada for the #StreamInto2015 campaign to choose an Ultimate Holiday Movie! I’ll shortly be receiving a Roku 3 Streaming Media Player, some movie snacks and a TV stand for my brand new TV so that my boys and I can launch a month-long movie marathon and choose a winner worthy of being crowned the Ultimate Holiday Movie. But this is one mission that will be even easier with help from you! [Read more…]

Start Your Spring Organization with Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Products from Staples Canada-Giveaway

April 10, 2012 by Kathryn 116 Comments

martha stewart home office stack+fitLike 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!

martha stewart home office labelsI 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!
