The 2015-2016 school year is a big one in our house, and our office chair will see us through it all. My oldest starts {gulp} middle school this year, a milestone which she couldn’t be more excited about. A change of schools, more than one teacher, and a locker all of her own. Until she…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yeah, sing that loud and proud, parents. It’s a commercial that marks the beginning of the school year, with much enthusiasm. I hope you are smiling your way through back to school shopping! Yet, if that shopping isn’t done right, you might not be. My tips…
For the longest time, our office was basically in the storage/spare room, in the basement of our house. In that room sat our first computer desk, plain with a wood top and metal legs that had sharp edges. I recall cursing at this desk more than loving it, since I continually would cut myself…
This last week on Twitter I was chatting about the chaos and my day spent in getting that Organized Home Office. Shredding, sorting, filing, labelling and taming all the madness that settled in my office over the Winter. I did have to make a huge mess in order to clean, but when all was…
It’s 2013, a fresh start to a New Year. Have you started shredding yet? Not shedding in pounds, as so many make the resolution to do. But SHREDDING. You know, obliterating your personal information, from the leering eyes and hands of others? Maybe with a Fellowes PowerShred Shredder. Protecting myself and my family from identity theft is…
In addition to my job here at My Organized Chaos, our home also offices my husbands business as well. A typical office, it has the desk, computers,filing cabinets, folders, paperwork galore and a whole lot more. Yet one thing we’ve never ever owned, is a shredder. Gasp! I know! People that spot me ripping papers into…
One of my tips for saving and maximizing money is to collect reward miles, a great way to earn perks on your purchases. My very first rewards card ever was AIR MILES, yours as well? You can collect points at so many stores and get nice bonus points on purchases as well. Though friends of…
If there’s one thing I learned from attending blogging conferences and events, it’s that you bring home a lot of business cards! Sadly, a huge stack of cards still lays in my drawer, the thought of going through and transferring emails and blog follow lists manually – well, make me not want to do it….
When I see the well-known Staples back-to-school commercial, I can’t help but to smile. After a long and fun summer break, it is nice to get back into the routine of the school year. To start off that wonderful time of the year though, it requires a ‘little’ shopping. Getting all those back-to-school supplies wouldn’t…
Just when I thought I saw it all when it comes to home printers, HP changed that. More than just print, copy, scan and fax – the HP Photosmart eStation All-in-One has one feature that raises the bar in home printers. Key to the HP Photosmart eStation All-in-One is the included HP Zeen, which is…
For home or office use, most people look for key things when choosing a home or office printer. First there is the cost of the printer, print quality, and ink cost. We have been hands-down Kodak-printer-people {yes, I used that term} ever since we had the opportunity to review the Kodak ESP7250 Wi-Fi All-In-One Printer….
This fall I had the opportunity to host a review for the Kodak ESP7250 Wi-Fi All-In-One Printer and now you have the chance to win one in the 2010 Holiday Gift Guide at My Organized Chaos! I still love the features of this printer to this day, and I really do use it almost daily….
It’s very true, with more technology and gadgets = more cords and chargers laying around your house. And, if you have ever traveled and forgotten your charger or three – what a disaster and what an expense! There’s a great product on the market called The Powermat home & office wireless charging system! Basically, it’s…
Brother is a company with such a diverse array of products, but I’d like to focus on their labellers. I had the opportunity to review 2 models of the Brother Labellers, the PT-1090 model and the slightly larger PT-1290 model, as well as a variety of tapes. Using these labellers in my home made me…
