I bought what was described as a “Women Shoulder Bag with Soft Leather Handles” through Tomoson.com, (https://touchurban.com/products/new-fashion-brand-women-shoulder-bag-soft-leather-handle-bags-ladies-tassel-tote-handbag-high-quality-womens-hand-bag) and have agreed to review it on various social media sites. This is difficult, because I like to give exuberantly positive reviews, and this bag just doesn’t inspire exuberance.

It is petite and easy to carry, which makes it perfect for shopping trips and places where someone needs two free hands. It has both a small carry-handle, and a generously-long clip-on strap So that it can be carried cross-body.  As you can see in the photo, the strap is not exactly soft, nor are they “leather”, as they were described.

The bag is a conveniently small size for errands, but it is also very narrow, which limits the number and size of items that can be carried - a wallet for instance would be too thick. I did not read the dimensions carefully enough when I ordered it, and I expected it to be much larger from the images provided. It has one small zippered pocket inside. But, on the plus side, the lining can be pulled out and cleans easily!

Perhaps the bag more closely resembles leather in one of the other colors, but the grey just looks like embossed vinyl. It has a large zipper across the top, on the outside of the bag, which is not completely finished off at its ends. Again,  this cheapens the appearance of the bag.


This bag was listed as retailing for $37.95. I cannot believe that it would sell. For this amount in a brick and mortar store. Even considering that I paid a greatly reduced price, I. Don’t think I would have purchased this bag if I had seen it first hand.

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.....

Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-itch Dog Shampoo

This winter has been tough on our little pups; the bitter cold outside and dry heating inside have dried out their coats and fur. Most shampoos clean, but we found one with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera that also softens and soothes.      I love the description on the back of the bottle - it sounded like just the shampoo we needed. But then, they all claimed to work, and all they did was clean surface dirt.  But I have to say that I am impressed; the shampoo smells great (one pup even tried to taste it!) and it lathers well. We haven’t had a chance to try more than once in the test period, but so far it seems to deep-clean better, and to soothe the flakey skin. Pups are not only clean, but softer! She may not look like it here, but Kenzie feels so much better, now that her skin isn't dry and itchy, and her coat is soft and clean. It washed away the dandruff on  other doggies, and worked well on all types of coats. ZestyPaws makes a conditioner, too,...

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 ...
