Contests

Did I just step on toes with that statement? Listen, I am not stepping on any toes because if anyone needs their toes stepped on, it is me. I am so not an organized person in my home life, but when it comes to college and work life, I am super organized. What gives? My husband keeps uttering words, I sure wish you would bring your professional organized skills into the home as well. It takes time, it takes products, and the main thing… it takes priority. Fortunately, since I am sure I cannot grab more hours out of the day, I can use products.

Blue Sky saw I was an organized wreck and offered to get me on the right foot for the school year. These super fun products are in stores through mid-September so I wanted to make sure I took the time to tell you about these awesome organization toys for mom!

The Blue Sky Home Series provides a smart, stylish solution for busy moms to get organized for the upcoming school year with a fresh, contemporary design from designer Susy Jack* Contemporary Paper.

To develop this innovative line, Blue Sky went directly to moms to learn real-life insights on how they manage their busy lives. The Blue Sky Home Series fills a need that online calendars cannot. I am sorry, but I just cannot get use to online calendars. I am a visual person and my husband is too. We need to see the calendar laid out in front of us so we know what the day lays ahead for us.

My two favorite products from the Home Series line:

The weekly/monthly calendar is super stylish since moms did help design them you know?! Also, the calendar is just the perfect size for you to carry around with you.

This 3.5 x 7 planner is compact yet complete. Weekly and monthly calendar views allow for detailed scheduling and the snap keeps all your notes together and in-place.

Susy Jack Door Note “Don’t Forget” – I really think Blue Sky had me in mind when they came up with these door notes. I am seriously the most forgetful person and when it couples with all the events going on, there is just no hope… UNTIL Now! I have been placing these door notes on the front door before I take the girls to school each morning and I am so proud to say, we have not forgot one thing yet. This is a huge step forward.

And moms… the part you are going to love as well is the price point on the Blue Sky Home products. The products range in price from $3.99 to $9.99 to fit every family budget and are sold at Target stores and on the Blue Sky website through September.

Congratulations to comment #43 nanjhall!

Over the past couple of years, you have seen Walgreens pop up all over the country. Each store really gives you that hometown feel each time you walk in no matter where you are in the United States. Since we travel a lot as a family, I feel secure when I see a Walgreens in a city we are visiting. I know I am able to walk in and grab a health and beauty item, talk to the pharmacist on duty, pick up a souvenir for the city we are visiting, get digital pictures developed and even grab a delicious snack. Walgreens really has you covered and now they even are helping you preserve your family memories with a new photo gift, glass prints. I have seen different photo gifts during my lifetime, but I have to say, the glass prints peaked my curiosity. I was given the opportunity to review the glass prints, so let’s walk through the easy process.

Since my family travels a lot, I wanted to capture all the states we had been to this year in one glass print. You have several choices to choose from in the glass prints section.

I chose the Collage Curved Glass Print to display all the pictures that I wanted to from our travels. The glass prints come in three different sizes. The prices run from $29.99 to $54.99. You can save 25% off all photo gifts right now at Walgreens with the code ALLGIFTS thru Saturday, August 27.

You select which size and then you upload your pictures. Walgreens will automatically place the pictures in the correct order to match the collage on the glass print. It really is that easy. Are you ready for the finished product?

The quality was better than I expected. It is a thick sized piece of polished glass and uses the natural lighting in the room to illuminate the picture. The pictures just shine in the glass. Now, each time we sit down in the living room, we can remember the wonderful year 2011 has brought us with our travels.

WIN:

One lucky fan here at One Moms World will win a $25 Walgreens gift card to help you preserve your family memories with a photo gift.
