ZAGGsparq 2.0 Portable Battery Charger Travel USB Review
After a long flight or drive, the first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is to take out all of my devices and start plugging them in to be charged. Of course, with limited plugs available at most hotels, it's always a struggle to figure out which items I'll need to prioritize charging. Does this happen to you, too? I usually end up choosing to plug in my laptop because I can't use it on its own, but that leaves my phone, camera, iPad and e-book reader vulnerable to being without battery ...

Office Candy Organizing Suggestions {Guest Post}
Some of my favorite Office Tips: If you find yourself being taken off task because you hear a warning that an email has arrived into your Inbox, just shut that alert off and check them at your convenience instead. If you have forms that need to be filled out frequently (such as Insurance Claim Forms) fill out one per family member and place it in a plastic sleeve. Make copies from that Master form and don’t use it for anything else and you’ll never be without the form when you need ...
