The weeks are just FLYING BY! I totally need warm weather. It is April 9th and I am almost done with my taxes. I need to review them before I e-file. I love TurboTax and love State Farm even more for giving their clients TurboTax for FREE!
OfficeMax has a great new system by Peter Walsh (best known for TLC’s Clean Sweep) for organizing your work life and decluttering your space.
The new InPlace System by Peter Walsh will be available in OfficeMax stores next week. I was recently sent a great box of samples to try and they are PERFECT for organizing my husband’s new business right out of the gate. The minute I opened the box he was hovering over me and pretty much stole everything from me! That’s ok, I know he will put it to good use and he needs all the help he can get making sure he keeps everything for his company in order.
Below is a link to a pdf that contains some great tips from Peter Walsh to help keep your work life organized:

OfficeMax also sent along some other items like file folders and a rubber band ball. While I had to wrestle everyone in the family for the rubber band ball, I actually needed the file folders and the ones they sent are hip and funky and much more fun than boring yellow ones. This was just the inspiration I needed to catch up on my filing that I haven’t done since December.

About Kim
I’m a member of what seems like every forum and I thought I was on MomDot.
As it turns out I’m not and registration is closed. Bummer.
Those are some great tid-bits. I need all the help I can get organizing my office.
Thanks for the linky love too :)
Wait a gall durn minute – what do you mean FREE Turbo Tax from State Farm???? I have State Farm. I didn’t get no free Turbo Tax. My dang agent. Did I ever tell you that his last name was Cox and his assistant’s name was Stubbs. I know, very sophmoric, but it makes us laugh.
“gall durn”???? Man you’ve been in Hooterville way too long! Cox & Stubbs LOL! Through the website…if you register your accounts online, there is a link to get free TurboTax.
So, you take umbrage with ‘gall durn’, but do not mind the double negative of “I didn’t get no”? Olivia’s grammar book is a very rigorous, old school type program, but is does have a lot of those kinds of sentences. As in, don’t talk this way or you’ll sound like an idiot. I tell you waahhhaat, them there sentences are high-larious.
Hah, I didn’t even notice that part. I think you have always talked that way so I’m used it, hehehe
Hi Kim! Thanks for the great post about Peter Walsh’s new product line, and I’m glad to hear they were in high-demand in your household between your blog and husband’s business. Hope they help everyone get organized. Thanks again!
Great set of tidbits!! Well done too!
I just realized your name never made the list of Momdot blogs. There was a post going around where they collected a list…sorry I missed that!
