Sandisk Cruzer Titanium Plus 4GB Review
I have owned several different brands of USB Flash drives in the past. Without question, the Sandisk drives have always been the most reliable and durable. The problem with other brands is they would begin to fail after excessive reading and writing, and/or the USB plug would become damaged from packing them around on my keys, or in my pocket. The caps on the other brands I have owned were always falling off exposing the USB plug to dust and other damage. This isn’t a problem with the Sandisk Cruzer Drives because their USB ports easily retract inside their own casing.
Cap Trappers Review: Great for Homeschoolers!
I home school my children so we always have an abundance of craft supplies, crayons, and markers lying around our house. However we have one very common scenario : When our 7 year old goes to get his favorite marker we find out that the 4 year old has forgotten to put the cap back on! And, we all know what that means, a useless dried out marker! We’ve thrown tons of markers in the garbage over this. So, when we heard about the Cap Trapper we were excited to learn more about it.

Two More Great Back To School Guides for Moms
Napkleen.. to the Rescue
Who needs stain remover when you have Napkleen?
As a Mom of three,  I am always looking for ways to keep my children’s clothes protected from spills. So when asked to try the new Napkleen disposable clothing protectors, we gladly accepted.                        Â
My 6 year old happily volunteered to be as messy as possible while eating. YAY!! To get started she pulled the adhesive backing away, and simply pressed the adult size Napkleen protector on to her shirt. It surprised me at the  list of spills that stayed off her clothes, and on the cloth protector. From juice, gravy, toast & chocolate cake, the Napkleen stood up to the test through liquid and crumbs. What didn’t make it to her mouth was caught in the fold out food catcher, which really saved some clean up from the floor also. The best part, was seeing how clean her clothes were after she finished.
Where to buy: In all, Napkleen was a sure hit in our house. Visit www.napkleen.com to choose from a variety of styles and sizes, and to see how many other ways the wear & toss protectors can be used.Â
