Keeping Important Paperwork Safe...

I was sent some really great items to review last week. The SlimMate Storage Clipboard really caught my eye when I opened the box because of its awesome bright pink and the fact that it is a storage clipboard. It has a closure on it that really holds tight and there is no way that it will come open. Perfect for keeping paperwork in so that it won't get lost or tore up. It has a Slim design that minimizes bulk and fits easily into a backpack, briefcase or other tight space yet offers plenty of storage. Perfect for someone who is mobile. You can use it as a desk with its smooth surface. My hubby grabbed this when he came home last night for his sleeping break. I was in shock because it is so bright pink, but he said that he didn't care about the color of it , that it was perfect for him to use in his truck for his logs and tickets.

I kept the Recycled Clipboard that I also got. It is smaller, but still has a strong clip to it. But don'[t let the memo size scare you off. It will securely hold up to 1/2 and inch of paper. I love that it is Assembled in Mississippi by Adults with Disabilities. Proudly made in the USA!I love the smaller size of this one, it fits perfectly in my handbag. When I was at the park with my son the other day, I had it out and was figuring out bills. I love it. a neat little take along clipboard for everyday use.

We have gotten a lot of use out of the Glue Stic and the Glue Style Pen that I was also sent. Being a homeschooling family we use a lot of glue and love these glue stics. The one is colored so my little man can see where it is and gets the stuff stuck onto the project where it needs to go. Very good idea to make it colored like that. The glue pen has a very precise tip to it that makes it very useful for smaller details. It goes where you want it to go and dries quickly. It has a ergonomic shape that fits perfectly in young hands. Washes easily with cold water. The quick 'n clean paper glue for school and home!

Shoplet is the place to go for all of your Office Supplies. Very good prices. They also have all of the Promotional Products that your business an use no matter how small or big it is. Office Stationary can be found here also. Anything that you can think of needing for your office, even Medical Supplies.

Perfect for a Get Home Bag

I received our 3rd one of these LifeStraw Personal Water Filter today!I am working on a Get Home Bag for hubby to keep in his big rig.

Having clean water is VERY important and will help him in trying to get home.

Will post later other items to have in a Get Home Bag! We should all have one in our vehicles.

Powdered Milk is Versatile and Frugal

There is beauty to cooking with and using powdered milk. It is far more than just a powdering substance that sits on the shelf for years at time waiting for some major catastrophe to be removed and used. So what is it about powered milk that is so great?
Powdered milk is a powder made from dried (dehydrated) milk solids. Due to its low moisture content, powdered milk has a far longer shelf life than its liquid counterpart and does require refrigeration. At one time people shunned at the thought of powdered milk but today more and more people are embracing the wonders of milk solids.
Using powdered milk is economically friendly being that is not only cheaper, but, as mentioned earlier, it last longer than liquid milk. It is also good for stockpiling in cases of emergency. Using powdered milk is also economical because in the event that you run out of liquid milk, you can just run over to your pantry, instead of the store, and grab that box of milk solids. Imagine what you save in gas.
As far as cooking with powdered milk, it is definitely something you want to consider. And don't limit yourself with what you can do with it.
You can use powder milk to make macaroni and cheese. Think about it if you buy boxed mac and cheese, they use dried cheese which is what? Dairy, just like powdered milk and with the right ingredients you can create your own recipe using milk solids instead of liquid milk.
Powdered milk is frequently used in baking; in recipes where adding liquid milk would render the product too thin to be used. It is also a common in wherever fresh milk is not a viable option. You can also use it to make your own fat free cream soup base. And I would be remiss if I did not mention that you can also make sweetened condense milk and even sour cream with this handy and useful powder.
If your kids are chocolate or flavored milk fans, then powdered milk is a great way to provide them with all the healthy benefits of liquid milk while saving a few dollars by utilizing the powdered version for drinks that required milk. You can also use powdered milk to whipping cream, yogurt and other dairy items.
If your mother used powdered milk and you remember a watered down version of your favorite creamy white drink, don't let it stop you from trying it again. The taste has gotten better over the years and you really can't beat the economical value of powdered milk.
