Time to do my blog taxes! What a daunting task because I didn't keep any records other than what I posted on my blog! So time to get prepared! Means I need certain supplies to complete my task! My Tablet, my Excel spreadsheet and a sharpened pencils! So I my 2 older boys and I headed to Walmart on our way home from church to pick up a few items, one important item on my list - a pencil sharpener!
We were invited to have dinner with some friends at their home - we are bringing the salad and garlic bread so I picked up some tomato and cucumbers. And the garlic bread.
After grabbing our items to bring to dinner, I needed an Ouchless brush for my 2 year old daughter who always fusses when I brush her long beautiful blonde hair. Along the way we went down the clearance Valentines aisle where we grabbed a few goodies!
After picking up all our other items: cocktail hot dogs, snacks and toilet bowl brush time to go down the office supply aisle to check out the pencil sharpeners. I needed something not just for keeping my pencil sharp for my income tax form but for my kids and I to use in our daily homeschooling. Something that is safe, easy to use and sharpens pencils nicely. I picked the X-ACTO Electric Spira Sharpener. I let my 4 year old pick out the color - he chose red - he likes red can you tell?
Once we got home I needed to get a jump start on my taxes before leaving to our friends house for dinner. To to use our new sharpener!
I love it! The plug in adapter is simple to plug in, my favorite feature is the little flap door opening that opens at the bottom of the sharpener making it easy to remove all the sharpenings. Just simply unplug the adapter, bring the sharpener to the garbage can, open the empty door shake and viola all clean! The X-ACTO Spira Electric Sharpener left my pencil nice and sharp for me to fill out my income tax spread sheet!

My electric pencil sharpener died a last month, and I definitely am in need of a new sharpener. Thank you for the coupon.
ReplyDeleteYour LO is too cute... yes I can tell he likes red! :P good choice!
ReplyDeleteWill you do my spreadsheet too? ;-) That red sharpener stands out and looks classy.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea X-Acto sold pencil sharpeners! I have got to start my taxes soon!
ReplyDeleteThis pencil sharpener looks fantastic! It will help my husbands office. THank you!
ReplyDeleteI could so use one of those right now! I get so tired of my kids searching for pencils to do their homework every night only to find a handful of pencils that aren't sharpened! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood for you to get right on those taxes:) I haven't had to do them yet for my blog, but hopefully I will make a little $$ this year so that I need too! Kind of a dumb wish huh? LOL

I didnt know they made cute pencil sharpeners! I wish I had that when I was in school!
ReplyDeleteWe just bought a pencil sharpener. Keeping track of the manual ones was a pain. Love your visit to Walmart.
ReplyDeleteWe just have those plastic shapeners and they are always lost. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteCute post. I haven't used pencils in forever. We don't own any pencil sharpeners.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to have the kids help with taxes...good life lessons!
ReplyDeleteI need a new sharpener! :) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI actually pulled an old-fashioned hand cranked one out of my Dad's house last month, but it's butt ugly and I don't see me hanging it on the wall! This sounds like a good one, my kids always go through pencils.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading through the other posts and was about a wreck because I thought I was the only one who waited until the end of the year to organize anything :) Love your snazzy new sharpener!
ReplyDeleteCool! I don't use pencils very often anymore but I will keep this in mind when I need a new sharpener.
ReplyDeleteI bet they love sharpening pencils!
ReplyDeleteI forgot the last time used sharpener (or pencil for that matter)
ReplyDeletei dont remember the last time i used one if these either but im sure i will need to get one for my daughter soon when she starts schooL!
ReplyDeleteyikes this scares me lol. I haven't done taxes for my blog and wont be this year. Next year is my first year. I only started giveaways in October and really made no money so nothing to claim. But i have this year started to make a few $
