Blog POP! Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier #Giveaway

This feature was brought to you by Penny Wise Office Products and Fellowes. All photos and opinions contained below are original copyright Momma Told Me Blog 2014.

Momma Told Me: Do you know what you're breathing?

The air- its the one thing you are guaranteed to come in contact with on a daily basis, and it enters and leaves your body every single moment. I was raised more aware of the atmosphere and my surroundings, than the average kid, as Momma lost the majority of her lung capacity to cancer when I was just 4. While her lungs remained physically in her chest the surface area within them was so badly scarred she could only process a fraction of normal oxygen absorption. As a result we avoided smoke (and smokers,) pollen, pet dander, and anything that might irritate her lungs and inhibit her breathing further. Because of this I consider my own lungs quite virgin, and am extra sensitive to the particles in the air I breathe.

But you don't have to have a loved one with asthma or allergies to appreciate the quality of good, clean, air. You do, however, have to realize that contaminants to that air can come from a variety of places, no matter how clean or buttoned up you keep your home. That's why a medium size (150-20 sq feet) Air Purifies such as the Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier makes a logical gift for your own home or family this season. Believe it or not indoor air can contain up to 5 times the number of pollutants as the atmosphere just outside your home's walls! Pollutants such as the air borne influenza virus, which the AeraMax™ 190's 4 stage purification system can actually filter out of the air you breathe!
We've had the Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier, from Penny Wise Office Products, in our house for about a month and I can definitely sense and see the difference. See? Yes, see! This air purifier not only has an easy remove and replace HEPA filter, where I can see visible contaminants that have been trapped, but the front touch screen display has an easy to read AeraSmart™ 190 Sensor system that detects and conveys the current air quality. Simply take a glance at the sleek front profile of this unit and take note of the Blue, Amber, or Red quality alert marker; the purifier will automatically adjust fan speed to increase or decrease filtration based on it's readings. How's that for a smart appliance?

My father was a bit skeptical that an air purifier could actually be of use in his home, so I was happy to bring it over for a demonstration. The Felowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier has a convenient hidden handle cubby for transport and the generous cord length means the unit can be conveniently tucked away (or strategically placed) for optimal treatment. With a 190' impact radius, the Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier is appropriate for most medium sized rooms such as average living rooms and master bedrooms. While the dust in my father's home was visible (sorry dad!) there were other obvious contaminants present. Even the oxygen providing plans can house allergen spores, and pets with their dander can easily spell big time trouble for sensitive noses and lungs.

I was happy to note the AeraSmart™ Sensor never went from Amber to Red, but it did spend a decent portion of its initial time in the moderate (Amber) zone. Unexpectedly, one of the benefits of having a great air purifier around was some odor filtration. Lingering smoke (and even the particles from cooking odors) are neutralized and absorbed noticeably. We were even able to effectively situate it between the two main couches for higher traffic days with guests and visitors, thanks to the tall profile with side venting.

As someone who was raised to be sensitive to mites, dust, smoke, and pollen, having a high quality intelligent Air Purifier like the AeraMax™ 190 on hand is priceless for my piece-of-mind. Gone are the days when I'd have to hide in my home wondering if I'd still suffer an allergy attack behind closed doors. And this device is pretty darn discreet when it comes to quiet- which is even better when on Smart Mode and left running throughout the day. Order your Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier from Penny Wise Office Products and be sure to keep an eye out for other household and office innovations by this great brand!

What Daughter Says: Feel a little more confident in what you're not breathing in with a home air purifier system for you high traffic rooms.

Beating Back To School Madness With Penny Wise Office and Zebra Pens Giveaway!

***The following products were provided by Zebra writing instruments and Penny Wise Office for a Back To School giveaway. All photos and opinions below are copyright Momma Told Me Blog 2014.
Beating the back to school madness with Penny Wise Office Products.
Momma Told Me: Back To School is a season we must all prepare for.

The West Coast tends to return to school later in the Summer than those states more Central and East Coast; our cousins in Oregon still have one more week of vacation, believe it or not. And, while Sabrina (11) started middle school this week, her teacher will inevitably send home the dreaded 'grade' supplies list over the weekend. You know the list, it often has protractors, special calculators, specific gauge ink pens, and the preferred type of glue for that 'sugar cube' model the kids will be building mid-year.
These things aren't an immediate need, and thankfully so, because walking into our local Walmart anytime soon would result in a panic attack. Don't get me wrong folks, I love 'the Mart,' but stepping foot in the seasonal aisle at peak season requires a security tether and emergency escape plan. Then there's the fact that finding a variety of 'fashionable' items in any one given category, we'll say notebook folders, seems to evoke a quest equal to locating the Sauron's 20 Rings Of Power (a little Lod OF the Rings nerd reference for you.) Let's just say by the time I pulled out the two Lisa Frank designs from the spiral bound notebooks I desperately wished I was back in The Shire.

Thankfully the internet has made it easier than ever to sort through practical school and office supply options, and even save through direct ordering with companies such as Penny Wise Office. You may recall, Penny Wise has a variety of stylish and practical supplies for everything from the work office to your everyday stationary needs (and even some adorable tape dispensers and Breast Cancer Awareness tools too!) While the website can be a bit tricky to navigate, if you don't know what you're looking for, you can request a free catalog and shop from it's full color pages and pricing all year round.

I remember, next to a new backpack, of of the most exciting things about back-to-school stock ups was being able to choose all new, colorful, pens. Gel pens became a really big thing for my generation in Jr. High- we loved all the vibrant colors and many book covers an notebooks were often coated in energetic doodles and proclamations of the latest celebrity dreamboat. One of my favorite brands was Zebra, for their innovative technology in writing instruments, which seamlessly combined with the fun and practical needs of a student.

No matter your grade or age, Zebra is sure to have the perfect writing utensil for you. The Low Viscosity Advanced Ink retractables are great for grading papers or taking color-coded sidebar notes on essay drafts. Zebra Pen's new range of Stylus pens do double duty as a writing instrument and smartphone or tablet tool with beautiful colors, and are perfect for business minded moms in the carpool lane. The Cadoozles Mechanical Pencils come in a 28PC value pack, are perfect to get you through the entire school year (or maybe my Winter bowling league scorecards!) Personally, there's enough personality in the Zebra collection of products at Penny Wise to help turn even the grumpiest back-to-school shopping frown into a smile.

What types of products would you like to stock up with, from Penny Wise Office?

What Daughter Says: Take some of the stress out of store-hopping and shop online and in catalog with Penny Wise Office.

Blog POP! @PennyWiseOffice Holiday Preparation Supply Bundle Giveaway~ 11/30

*** I received the following products through Penny Wise Office for the purpose of this feature. All photos contained below are property of Momma Told Me Blog 2013.
Momma Told Me: There's still much more to be done!

As we prepare for the week of gluttony and turkey overdosing, one monumental yearly milestone looms ahead; the gift giving season. Whether you're preparing a mall attack route for 3 AM Black Friday sales, or have been carefully hoarding seasonal gifts throughout the entire year (me), you're sure to face the challenges of  wrapping. Now, I'm not Martha Stuart- I don't plan multi-part gift towers with seamless rivers of bows and alternating paper; but I do like my presents to look, well, presentable. If you're like Jay, with two left thumbs, just the thought of covering a gift can be overwhelming, let alone coordinating labels and tape that matches. That's why Penny Wise Office is here to showcase some of this season's must have Holiday Preparation tools.
I remember the first year my father discovered he could print his holiday cards, gift tags, and return address labels at home. He must have bought a mountain of Avery products featuring everything from gloss finish photo-cardstock to pre-scored hanging gift tags. Of course, during my childhood, the print quality was much less than it is today, and using these tools meant downloading special software. Boy have the times changed! With the modern InkJet print drivers, PDF formatting, and FREE Avery printable templates available online, anyone can make custom holiday labels, cards, and more, without any experience. People spend a lot of money each year paying for custom cards to be made for them, with no option to add on more if they run out, or to edit the finer design points. Avery allows the user to instantly preview thousands of templates and even alter them with added graphics and text, all from your internet browser!
Of course heavy duty wrapping, and especially shipping, can require some heavy duty materials. If I had a dollar for every time I've tried to gnaw a ribbon or piece of twine in half, while wrapping towers of gifts, I'd have a much nicer car! From trusted brand, Fiskars, the Cuts + More Scissors are the veritable Swiss Army Knife of the consumer scissors market. Including a bonus sheath that not only protects your scissors, and tiny hands, Cuts + More also offers 8 unique features designed to multi-task during the holiday season, and year round for crafts and more. The sheath itself has an included tape cutter notch and scissors sharpener (which works well when the scissors transition to 'take apart' mode for cleaning). These unique scissors also have built in wine, twine, and light rope cutters, as well as a bottle opener, pointed awl tip, and ergonomic handles. I found these to be a little excessive for simple wrapping paper cutting, but especially useful in decoration and shipping.
Of course the work doesn't stop once the packages are wrapped, there's plenty of labeling and decorating to be done! We whipped up some fancy Avery Embossed, Silver, Round Labels which make wonderful envelope seals for announcements, or 'From' labels for gifts.Users can visit www.avery.com/print and type in their product number to instantly view pre-made templates. Some browsers require the finished template to be transmitted to a PDF format for printing, so be sure that your Adobe Reader is up to date, to avoid any alignment of scaling issues. Labels should also always be printed with the settings to 'Best' quality and 'Label' paper format. Check for print driver updates to ensure access to the latest format options.
Penny Wise Office Scotch
Since a large portion of my family lives on the other side of the country, early gift preparation is a must- especially when planning the logistics of holiday shipping. Because my gifts usually arrive a few weeks before the holiday I like to dress up my package boxes with some colorful tape, stickers, ribbon, and more. Of course, you can't have loose items on a US postal box, so my options are usually limited. Thanlkfully, Scotch has come up with a variety of easy to use, decorative tape products to help you wrap and ship all year round, in style. First, the Scotch Pop-Up Tape dispenser provided easy pull, pre-cut, strips to help you wrap faster than ever before. Next the Scotch Expressions decorative tapes span packing tape and printed scotch tape to truly dress up those parcels. Sold in 3 roll packs, the Expressions Scotch Tape rolls easily fit into any traditional dispensers and offer a slightly thicker tape for heavy duty packaging.
I'll admit, I get a little carried away with my packaging and presentation, but why should all the fun be inside the package? I'll admit, if this box arrived on my doorstep I might be inclined to put it under the tree like that! Which is a viable solution for those who don't have access to shipping boxes or wrapping and need to send an unwrapped gift across country. In all, Penny Wise Office had brought together some great brands to keep your holiday preparation stress free and stylish. Visit them online today to request your free catalog and enjoy fast, free, shipping nationwide.

What Daughter Says: Don't forget the wrapping- stock up on holiday preparation must haves today.

@PennyWiseOffice #PinkRibbon Awareness Products + Bundle Giveaway~ 11/7

**** I received the following bundle from Penny Wise Office and affiliates for the purpose of this feature. Regardless, all opinions remain genuine and un-altered. All photos below are copyright Momma Told Me Blog 2013.
Pink Ribbon Products
Momma Told Me: Everyone wins when great companies team up to support a cause.

Kathryn Morley, President and Owner of Penny Wise Office Products, has a mission to add style and beauty to the workplace. “After all,” she says, “We spend so many hours at work or in our home office, we should fill our space with items we love”. Most recently introduced to Momma Told Me readers during our School Rules, Blog POP! promo, Penny Wise is committed to bringing the modern woman's passion to life in quality, name brand office products, at competitive prices. Best of all, in the month of October, Penny Wise recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a FREE Pink Ribbon Gift Box Giveaway filled with all the items you see here.

Those who are regular readers know that cancer has touched my life in a big way, by means of Momma's personal bought with Hodgkins Lymphoma (Stage 4). She still struggles to life with the aftermath each day, but proudly shares her story, as a survivor. It is my personal belief that not just a single cancer, but all cancer prevention, should be preached and educated year round. Foundations such as Ford's Warriors In Pink, and 3M, collect donations and proceeds year round for (breast)cancer research. 1 in 3, yes 3, women have been touched by this disease, whether personal, or through a friend/loved one. Don't wait for it to touch you, stand up and take a stance today through the support of fine companies looking to make a difference.
"Research and Treatment of Breast Cancer has brought us a long way over the past 30 years but there is more to be done, and more lives to be saved. We want to do our small part to raise awareness,” says Kathryn, Penny Wise Office Products. A percentage of the purchase of the following items goes directly to Breast Cancer Research, Treatment and Education. Penny Wise offers a fun, FREE “big book” catalog, filled with these Pink Ribbon products, as well as over 25,000 other items. To receive your copy, call them at 1-800-942-3311. They are nice people, and they are waiting for your call! Learn about some of my favorite items, such as; Acme Pink Ribbon Shears, Wite-Out EZ Correction Tape by BIC, Swingline Smooth Grip Stapler and Pink Staples, Pendaflex Ready-Tab File Organizers, BIC Re-Action Mechanical Pencils, BIC Mark-It Pink Permanent Markers, Deflect-O Photo Pencil Cup, Rolodex Pink Business Card Holder, Swingline 3 Ring Hole Punch, 2014 At-A-Glance Organizer, and Medline Pink Exam Gloves.
Breast Cancer Awareness Products
Deflect-O Phoot Pencil Cup is one of my favorite in the brand's Breast Cancer Awareness lineup, with a multitude of easy use functions for daily organization. This pink, plastic, pencil container converts from a round 'cup' shape to a dual picture frame that showcases two wallet sized photographs with an easy slip-in installation. The base also featured a non-slip black grip, and the unit itself houses two storage compartments for desk organization.Not only is this an affordable gift for any Pink lover or Breast Cancer Awareness Supporter, but Deflect-O also produces these in classic black and grey for the less festive. Both compartments offer ample storage space for pens, markers, scissors and more.
Penny Wise Office
It's no secret that I have an office supply crush on the Swingline brand. As the Cadillac of staplers (especially coined by the quirky 1999 buddy flick Office Space), Swingline also produces an array of non-stapling products. However, I did let out a girly squeal when I unpacked the Swingline Smart Touch Low Force Stapler with beautiful curves and a 25 sheet capability. Whenever I go to staple paper in my home office, I can never seem to handle the quantity of sheets, and this Cadillac, erm, stapler, not only stapled with hardly any exertion on my part, but perfectly through a 22 sheet document. As if that weren't enough to keep this girly girl swooning, Swingline has produced some gorgeous baby Pink Color Bright staples to help keep the cause alive long after last 'click'. A proceed of the sales from this device go directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, helping research and providing free services to those facing cancer diagnosis.
Also from Swingline, the Pink 3 Hole Paper Punch will tackle up to 6 continuous sheets for perfectly even, binder ready, presentation. Also benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation, this hole punch has a grip ready, black, peel-off base that makes punch clean-up a breeze. As soon as Sabrina (11) saw this, I knew it had been instantly confiscated, along with the BIC Re-Action Mechanical Pencil set that more resembled executive pens than children's push pencils. Including 4 eraser refills and #2 .7 lead refills, this two-pack features a unique break-resistant spring technology that absorbs the impact of writing to preserve your lead longer. Currently on sale for $4.49, at Penny Wise Office, these would make the perfect stocking stuffer for any student or Breast Cancer Survivor.
Penny Wise Office
Penny Wise Office
Last, but not least, from Penny Wise Office, was the 2014 At-A-Glance Weekly/Monthly personal organizer featuring beautifully tinted pink sheets blocked by date and week for a precise organizational attack. The sturdy leather like cover helps protect your agenda while preserving a professional feel great for business women, students, and home. I also received some sample packages of Medline Exam Gloves in Pink Ribbon Pink, perfect for emergency kits and messy encounters. I immediately knew what I would find good use for these with; my monthly hair coloring endeavors. Not only are these Medline gloves sold in 5 standard sizes, but they are powder lined for comfort and fit. I loved how thick the material was, without the glove feeling as though it was suffocating y hands- these were a definite favorite!

Penny Wise, and Kathryn, have done a tremendously wonderful job in putting together a wide assortment of Pink Ribbon, Breast Cancer Awareness products for your personal and supportive enjoyment. Head on over to Penny Wise Office Products today to request your FREE catalog and support the fight against Breast Cancer!

@FellowesInc Saturn 95 Laminator Project Ideas + Penny Wise Office Giveaway~ 10/8

**** I received a Saturn Laminator compliments of Penny Wise Office Products and Fellowes, in exchange for my honest opinions. No further compensation was received. All photos below are copyright Momma Told Me Blog 2013.
Momma Told Me: If you treasure it, protect it!

Growing up, we were always the house on the street with all the gadgets, and latest technology. We had 3 PCs in the mid-80s, and an office full of the latest appliances and electronics. Looking back, I realize I used to take this for granted. I'd bring in beautifully bound reports with laminated covers and wonder why my reports sparkled more than those of my friends. Didn't everyone have a copy machine at home? Wasn't a laminator as common as a Polaroid? The truth is, my parents probably spent a small fortune to have these 'cutting edge' consumer products; while owning your own office components today is much more affordable. Companies such as Fellowes have been leading office innovation for decades, and strive hard to tailor their products to their consumers with multiple levels of sophistication and cost to fit every need.
Fellowes Saturn Laminator
The Fellowes collection of personal Laminator machines are named after planets, with the Saturn falling mid-range, with three hot/cold laminating depths, while the more professionally suited Neptune can process documents up to 12.5" wide and 7 mil thick. Choosing the right laminator for you can be a little overwhelming, but the company has a complete guide to cover hot/cold laminating specifications, as well as necessary document sizes and thickness. The Fellowes Saturn 95 Laminator sells for just over $100 at Penny Wise Office products, and is the perfect starter laminator for those beginning to dabble in basic lamination crafts (jewelry creation), or simple office organization and memory preservation.

Fellowes laminator sheets
Fellowes Saturn 95
I still recall our family's first laminator. It had a bulky roll of 'film' that I'd have to fuss with to pull apart, and half the time I'd break the lamination is I cut too close to the document seal. Then there were the basic safety concerns of a hot surface, high energy use, and complicate operation (nor was it very quiet). Using the Saturn 95 for the first time was equal to a breath of fresh air- Not only were the illuminated buttons easy to navigate, but the operation of the machine was whisper quiet. My new Fellowes laminator came with a package of lamination pouches which were easy to organize (for maximum space management), and bypassed the traditional fuss of lamination rolls and feeding. Operation was as simple as allowing the unit to heat up, selecting the optimal thickness of the items being laminated, then inserting the lamination pouch, sealed end first, into the front of the unit. The Fellowes Saturn 95 then 'grabs' the pouch and automatically feeds it through to the opposite end.
home made bingo cards
It had been a few years since I'd last invested in a laminator, and the operation was night and day. I couldn't believe how cool to the touch the front of the machine was, during operation, or how utterly silent the process was. It was so simple our 10 year old (with an adult watching) could do it- and boy did she get a kick out of seeing her favorite drawings 'preserved for all time.' Naturally, having a Fellowes Laminator around will come in handy for various projects, especially school projects, throughout the year; but there are many creative uses for a home laminator too. When I make 'meals in a jar' this holiday season I will be laminating my recipe cards to tie to the lids. Children's parties can come to life with home-made 'Pin the Tail' games, or custom Bingo cards (use candy for markers), templates for which can easily be found free online. You'll also find a great assortment of office supplies and project tools, as well as Laminator sheet refills at Penny Wise Office Products, online and through their catalog.
home made place cards
lunch time notes
I also got a head start on holiday entertaining when I made a few Name-Tag samples for the Thanksgiving table, and our lunches got just a little more magical with some re-usable joke and encouragement note cards to slip into Sabrina and Jay's lunches. Laminating items can also easily transition them into an easy clean surface for chore charts, grocery lists, and more. Use Expo or Sharpie markers to write on the laminated surface and wipe off with a gentle alcohol/water spray. It's really that easy! Having a laminator in the home is not the first thing one thinks of when they're shopping for home office necessities, but the whole family is sure to find a much needed use sooner or later (my money's on sooner). What would you do with a home laminator?

What Daughter Says: Preserve memories, and make life a little less messy, with a Fellowes Laminator.

@PennyWiseOffice: As Simple As Squeezing Lemons W/ SteelMaster Giveaway

**** I received the following product in exchange for my honest opinion, no further compensation was provided. All photos are copyright Momma Told Me Blog 2013.
Penny Wise SteelMaster
Momma Told Me: You've got to spend a dollar to make a dollar.

Momma put me to work at an early age.

Outside of a, seemingly, never-ending roaster of weekly chores I was expected to play cashier. Momma would spend all year long preparing for a single weekend, the local Fall Harvest Festival. This was much more than a carnival with pumpkin carving exhibits and hay rides, this was a full blown artisan and crafts fair with over 200 vendors spread across a giant municipal park. For some reason it feel on a 10 year-old to count the change and safeguard the cash; all in a little tan, Nylon, fanny pack. Over the course of those weekends Momma would do thousands of dollars in business, and bill by bill would be neatly tucked into the incredulous safeguard of a zipper. Looking back, today, I just may tell my therapist that was the beginning of a very anxious childhood.
SteelMaster security box
It may not seem like it but today, as an adult, I conduct a fair amount of 'business' on my own. I frequent a spot at the local swap meet once a month, help out with charity fundraising, and even encourage the entrepreneurship of a 10 year old. I am ashamed to say, up until recently, I have always relied on a convoluted system of manilla envelopes and blind luck to get through my accounting endeavors without catastrophe. That was until Penny Wise Office Products sent me a SteelMaster Security Box with Media Slot (MMF 2216119G2) to review here on Momma Told Me. Let's just call it my 'training free' cash register. This starter cash box is made of 20% recycled material (a big plus for me), fairly lightweight, and includes a cam key lock system (optional for use) and anti-theft cable connection.
lemonade stand
cup of dirt cupcakes
At the beginning of the Summer I promised Sabrina (10) I would assist her in opening her first business (a Lemonade and Cupcake stand). We meticulously hunted down the perfect pre-made stand to decorate, put hours of Sharpie brush inhalation in, and hand crafted 48 kid-friendly cupcakes to hit the local beach park. While setting up I pulled out our brand new Steelmaster Security Box and dedicated it's first official job as a register. Sabrina was over the moon, commenting how sleek the Charcoal design was, and letting out a little squeal for the secret 'hidden' compartment for big bills and change. With a six compartment removable tray for paper and coin organization one's funds can easily be removed and counted at a remote location for security.
SteelMaster Security Box
Our SteelMaster Security box has a pressure sensitive front latch to keep the cover from popping open in transport, and can easily be carried by the recessed handle built into the top. We found the button for the latch required a little more pressure to open than we'd expected, and it took a little getting used to. We also learned quickly that the lack of pressure clamps (or covered drawers) meant money (particularly change) was subject to spilling in transit. This is an economy model of SteelMaster security boxes, so more features are available on other versions, though we found the MMF 2216119G2 met our basic needs. I certainly feel much more secure stashing our 'profits' in a container such as this, than mixing the money with the contents of my purse or easy to lose envelopes.
SteelMaster Security Box
In all it was a very profitable day. We raised some donations for our Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fundraising efforts, and Sabrina(10) walked away with $20 and a refresher in her mathematics. In all honesty, I can't imagine why I never invested in a Security Cash Box before; there are so many events throughout the year (school, team sporting, fundraising, yard sales, etc) that I can use this for, and I've already had a request to loan it out for an upcoming community event. Penny Wise Office Products has everything you need to make your next Lemonade Stand, or other business endeavors, a success. Stop on by and request a free product catalog, and check out their stock of SteelMaster security boxes!

What Daughter Says: Secure your profits with a SteelMaster security box.
