Keep those points sharp

As parents soon as the kids started school we like to have a pencil sharpener available at home. Early on we decided on electric pencil sharpeners. This year we have one from Vic Tagen. Not that we needed a new one we just can't find out old one from when we moved. We know it is somewhere but no where it should have been so far so we picked this one up.

I like that it can be used in three different ways. One with 4 AA batteries, through USB, or with the included AC cord. Makes having it portable and ready great for our family.

This pencil sharpener also is safer since it will not turn on when the pencil shaving cover is not in place. Gives me a little piece of mind for when my grand daughter is over that she won't get hurt while using it.


The pencil shaving cover held about 12 pencils worth of shavings without binding up the sharpening area before having to empty. Great for home or school use. Has strongest sharpening when used with AC cord.

Now that we have all of our pencils sharpened it is homework time here in Marksville. What items do you like to have on hand for your children during school time?

Aleratec Multi-Tier Configurable TV Swivel Stand

We were thinking about getting the girls their own TV separate from ours for the other room so they can play games on the Wii, watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. We didn't want to buy a big piece of furniture so this was just the ticket in making a room for them to have when they have friends over.

My husband has his own gaming set up and doesn't like anyone to play with his games, systems, controllers, etc, so we needed to make it so there was a set up the kids could use. This Stand is configurable so that it can be different heights depending on your needs.
