Product Review From the Desk of Tracey
















Binder Clips, binder Clips……oh my Binder Clips…..not just for the office anymore!

Binder clips are a beautiful thing!  They are just so dang versatile, you have to love them, they keep giving and giving!  Binders clips are the ultimate in use, reuse and recycle products!  As an added bonus, they come in all different sizes for flexibility.  Just the other day, I used binders clips on the bottom of a shower curtain so it would hang straight down and not blow over and stick to my legs.


I love binder clips soooooo much, if I had to pick between binder clips and post-it notes, I’d pick binder clips!  Think about it, our phone can do everything a post it note can do now, but my phone will never replace a binder clip! 
                

~Here are some of my favorite uses of binder clip~

Around the House:
Can you say cable management?


Dry your sponges, use binder clip as a stand
Make refrigerator clips by gluing magnets to them
Toothpaste squeezer


Hang wall art
Keeps chips fresh, clips bags
Tea bag saver
Clip garbage bags to can so they don’t fall in
Hang your belts by them or wind them up and secure
Use on a hanger to add a belt or scarf or tank top
Organize your belts/scarfs
Organize mail/bills/coupons


In Case of Emergency:
Use as hair clip, in a pinch! No pun intended
Stops snoring!  Just kidding J, but may be worth a shot
Use as a button or a cuff link


Other Great Uses:
Book marker
Safely cover your razor with a binder clip for travel purposes
Clip grocery list to shopping cart
Clip keys to purse to find them easily
Hold a balloon bouquet
Money clip
Clip the picnic table cloth down
Make wine glass charms by using different colored clips or embellishing Make a cell phone stand
Clip Sunglasses to car visor

All of these great ideas and to think you could create one of these ideas for just pennies! Yes, pennies those things that you don't think twice about when you pass them on the sidewalk, maybe you will when you think about all the things you can organize and create with binder clips.

Dad's Day Facts and June's Tack with Us Giveaway

-Father's Day originated in America. The first Father's Day celebration was held in Spokane, Washington, on June 19th 1910.
-It has been estimated that more than one-third of the cards sold on Father's Day are funny in nature
-According to statistics, the most common gifts Father's Day are the necktie, flowers and greeting cards.
-The world's oldest father was an Indian farmer named Nanu Ram Jogi, who fathered his 21st child at the age of 90, in the year 2007.

Probably my favorite subject surrounding Father's Day are the multiple alternative 
names that have been created for Father. 

Dad, Daddy, Pops, and Papa are the more commonly associated names with Father but the list of alternative names is endless. Among my favorite are:

1. Sugar Daddy-you don't even have to have children to be this type of Dad! 

2. Faja- Austin Powers, Goldmember, infamous way of describing the father

3. Mr. Mom- Because you can't just be a Dad that takes his kids to the park and stays home?!


I personally refer to my Dad as Big D, because too many people answer to Dad and Just D wasn't fitting for my Dad's large personality, so Big D was born! 


What do you call your Dad or what is your favorite alternative/slang Dad name?
