Thing 10 Preface

Today my brilliant son introduced me to Penultimate -- an app that reads handwriting, and syncs with Evernote.  You can write, draw, erase, move things around the page, search handwritten notes...and all will appear in Evernote on any device you choose.  Really cool -- and I thought this was perfectly timed.  I am off to use Evernote, which I have been ignoring for a while.   Now it looks SO much more fun!

Pinterest vs Learnist

I definitely would like to set up a board of some kind for the school library. We could add sites for research, fun tools to explore, games and educational activities, and other schools' sites. I am wondering whether to go with Pinterest or Learnist. Pros and cons: Pinterest is very popular, and seems like it is here to stay. Learnist is educational, so there would be less temptation to stray from recommended sites. Both are attractive, and easy to use. Must research and experiment further before unveiling The Site.....

Getting Organized in the New Year with Sterlite boxes!

I had a great opportunity to put one of my New Year's Resolutions to work this week when I got the opportunity through Tomoson Reviews to purchase Sterlite  Stackable Shoe Storage Boxes through Groupon. Now I had no excuse not to get more organized, and to put clutter in its place, with a dozen clear shoeboxes! I first tackled the coat closet, where hats, gloves and scarves were in a jumbled mess, always falling out when I tried to look for one. Now, with gloves in one box, hats and scarves in others, I can find just what I need in a hurry, and they stay neat and tidy on the shelf! Since the boxes snap shut tightly, I can pull them down to look inside, without the contents emptying all over the floor! Next, I managed to corral all of the dog's treats and meds, which were kept in three different places in the kitchen, and put them into one neat box! The Sterlite box can now sit on the pantry shelf, and all of our spoiled little dog's treats are in one place, han...

Terrific sofa cover - for the right sofa!

We go through sofa covers with alarming speed.  I think we are on the sixth one in two dogs...And Ashton totally shredded one in a month!!   Since Kenzie has claimed the off-white sofa as her own,    I need to keep it protected. But it is hard to keep the cover on - Since she is so “active, I need to use upholstery pins to keep the cover in place! Would you believe that she bent every one of the pins, and they all came loose?  That's why I thought that this sofa cover ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M32JJM2 ) would be the solution to our problems, since it has rolls that tuck in between the cushions and the frame to keep it in place, and a nice strap that wraps around the back of the sofa as well to keep the back covered.  However, I failed to measure and check the dimensions accurately, and the cover is far too small for Kenzie's sofa - which, admittedly, is a large one. We usually need two protective covers to go from ...
