Swivel Wheels & Clean Green Gloves


I have always wanted a coffee table that I could move around easily and now thanks to these Instant Swivel Wheels that has finally happened.  After cleaning the bottom of my table (with the alcohol wipe provided) I was able to quickly peel off the protective paper and stick a wheel on each corner.  Absolutely no tools needed!   Easy Peasy!  Then I anxiously waited to see if my table was going to move the way I pictured in my head.  I was not disappointed.  The wheels roll easily and my coffee table is now easy to move out of my way!   I didn’t even know that these kind of wheels existed!  






I will definitely be purchasing several sets of these.   These Instant Swivel Wheels could easily be attached to totes, bookcases, coolers, and so many other possibilities.  The only limit that I can see is there is a weight limit of 250 pounds. 






If you have not ever used a pair of gloves like these you really need to try them!  These Clean Green Microfiber SMARTer Dual Action Gloves are special in so many ways.  They are designed to allow you to wear them while using any type of touch-screen electronics.  The material itself is very soft so you don’t have to worry about your device’s screen getting scratched. Another plus is your fingers stay warm when you’re out in the cold!  It hasn’t gotten cold her in Oklahoma, but I’m sure it's coming soon!!!  I have rather large hands, so I was somewhat concerned that they wouldn’t fit, but they did!   In fact, they are very comfortable!   Here are few other things that you might want to know about them these awesome gloves:


  • Lint Free
  • Static Free
  • Odor Free
  • Hand Washable & Air Dry
  • One Size Fits Most
I wish they came in smaller sizes, because I would order them for my classroom for my students to use whenever they were using our classroom iPads!  Have you ever seen what the hands of 1st graders can leave on an iPad.  Trust me, you don’t even want to know what some of those things are.  Lol    Since these gloves need to be hand washable and air dried, I think they would be perfect for my classroom,  if only they came in a size for little children. 

I do have a small minor complaint about the gloves. There is a white tag that is sewn into each of the gloves. I found it slightly uncomfortable as well as a bit of an eyesore since the gloves are black.  I was able to get the tag off though by clipping near the seam and then pulling part of it though the seam.  Problem solved.

Shopping Made Easy!!

Christmas is just a few weeks away!  YIKES!!!  Why oh why do I let it sneak up on me like this every single year!!!!

      Thank goodness for Oriental Trading and their huge selection of Christmas items!  I found several things that will bring huge smiles to my first graders. 

      Every year the students make gifts for their parents.  This year, I decided to go with some Pot Holders.  Who wouldn't love getting this as a gift from their little one?  My students will be able to color/paint these in no time at all!    These will be painting them with these 10-Color Crayola Fabric Markers Unfortunately there wasn’t a brown one in the box... so I had to find a brown paint marker to use also. 



      Every year we have a Polar Express day in our classroom.  In previous years I have created a “ticket” for each of the them.  This year, however, I will be using these beautiful gold tickets.  They are stickers so the kiddos will be able to stick them directly on their pajamas.    




Like many classrooms around the world, we also have an Elf on the Shelf visiting us.  The class unanimously decided his name should be Charlie.  Charlie has brought special gifts to the students several times already this year.  These Elf on the Shelf Erasers are going to be a wonderful surprise to the kiddos.



      It’s not all about my first graders you know I had to find something for my precious Samson for Christmas.  He loves wearing all kinds of bandanas.  When I saw these on the Oriental Trading website, I knew that they would be absolutely perfect for my little boy. I think Santa is my favorite, but Samson likes all of them.  :-)

Samson is always carrying around a little friend (that looks just like him... almost...).  His name is Little Lab and they alway wear the same bandana.    Aren’t these two twinkies adorable!? 







     Oriental Trading has a huge selection of items.  I hope that you will give them the chance to meet your Christmas shoppings needs this year.  They have reasonable prices and they ship very quickly!!

At-A-Glance Planner at Shoplet




What is there not to love about this 8 1/2 inch x 11 inch At-a- Glance Weekly/Monthly Vienna Planner!!  Let me show you a few of the things that I love about it!

It is very well put together with its bronze wire bound binding.  I dont know about you, usually I end up ending a few pages by the end of the year, so Im anxious to see how this one holds up.   

The purple front cover which is made of durable poly, has a gorgeous die-cut.  It is extra thick because there is another gray poly sheet which has been attached to the purple.  Very sturdy!

There is a reference page at the beginning of the book which allows you to see three-years at-a-glance.  It is also a very thick page which appears to have some kind of laminate over itperhaps for durability!


The monthly-calendar is a two-page layout with plenty of room for me to write any appointments or notes I need to! 

Behind each monthly calendar, there is a two-page layout for each week of the month.  There is definitely lots of room to write any additional information that doesnt fit or need to be on the monthly calendar.


It will be very easily to turn to any month because of the tabs added for each month of the year. 


A special treat at the end of the book is a Holiday List for the next 4 years!  Now that is planning ahead. 


For those people that like to have a smaller personal size planner, then this 4 7/8 inch x 8 inch planner might be the answer for you.  It is exactly like the one that I just described abovejust in a smaller scale. 



Shoplet has both of these At-A-Glance Planners.  I hope you will give them the chance to help you find a planner that works for you!  They also have an assortment of office supplies, cleaning supplies, medical supplies, office furniture, and everything in between.  Happy shopping!!!
