What makes my life easier


These are some of the things that make my life easier; or at least someone thinks that they should make my life easier.

  • sand paper for sharpening scissors; you just cut sandpaper and it sharpens your scissors ( I learned this from Steven and Chris talk show)
  • baking soda; say good bye to tea stains in my mugs
  • microfiber dishcloths and water--no need for harsh chemicals
  • flameless candles--I can use them even at school
  • rotissary chicken--you can add it to almost anything without having to cook chicken (think quick dinner and leftovers for lunch)
  • Teachers Pay Teachers--somebody already did the work; I can just reap the benefits
  • laptop--I can sit in my comfy chair and work (or even play) without my feet touching the floor
  • dropbox--this has made my life so much easier! I save a document at home and open it at work! No longer transporting thumb drivers 
  • pixlr--I can now crop and resize my photos, make buttons, and feel like I have made it to the next level in my techno learning journey!
  • fitbit--it counts my steps, stairs and my activity level. It also lets me know how I am doing: "You have climbed the world's largest pencil." Yes, I know, I could live without the comments.
What makes your life easier?

  1. The first two tips are new to me - and much needed. Teachers Pay Teachers is a wonderful resource - I've just started posting projects there, too.

  2. Love rotisserie chicken! I need to use dropbox, but haven't yet. Pixlr looks interesting, I need to investigate that one. Maybe it will help me with my photos. Hmmm. . . what makes my life easier? Having a hyper-active husband who is retired. He does all the cleaning and laundry now, plus yard work. My job is food.

    1. Amazingly, trying to be organized for SOL is helping the house to stay better organized as well. Go figure!

  3. I just learned about a new one that I may have to use for a future slice. It's a way to make a book from your blog posts. It's called "slurping" because it slurps up your blog. I love dropbox too! I don't know how to make buttons so maybe pixir can be a future journey for me.

  7. Love your list...I'm going to borrow the idea for a post! I like rotisserie chicken too, but after living in Peru, it is pollo a la brasa to me. I'll have to check out dropbox, pixlr, and fitbit. I'll share some of my online favorites when I make my list. Stay tuned.

  8. Great list! I've heard a little about dropbox before, but still need to check it out. I would definitely add bullet point lists to that! ;) One of my favs.

  9. So funny - "You have climbed the world's largest pencil."
    DropBox has been ever so useful for a long time for me!
