The Classic Happy Planner®
Leakproof Water Bottle with Time Marker & Straw to Ensure You Drink Enough Water Throughout The Day
Drinking enough water is easier said than done for some people, and these water bottles are here to help you out. Having a water bottle is one thing but remembering to fill it up constantly is another. One helpful tactic comes in the form of these time-labeled water bottles, which make it easy to see how much water you’re really drinking as the time passes and when it’s time to get a refill ASAP.

Having a laser printer with scanner and copier is a lifesaver per our seasoned homeschool moms. This model provides wireless connectivity allowing you to print from almost anywhere in your home, and Wi-Fi Direct Connection enables easy connection to mobile devices without a router.
SnapType Pro
For any student needing to complete schoolwork who has problems writing, this is a game changer! SnapType helps students keep up with their peers in class even when their penmanship holds them back. Students can easily complete school worksheets with the help of an iPad or iPhone. With SnapType, students can take a picture of their worksheets, or import worksheets from anywhere on their device. They can then use their iOS device keyboard to add text to these documents and print, email, or share their creations. It is the perfect solution for kids, and even adults, who struggle with their handwriting.
Headset With Noise Canceling Microphone
“These headphones are great! They are comfortable, the sound quality is fantastic (I don’t have to have the volume on the computer very high to hear clearly) and the mute option on the headphones has saved me many times (if I’m teaching online and I need to cough or if my child comes yelling into the room…I just hit the mute button and problem solved). I recommend these headphones if you’re looking for comfort, reliability and practicality.”
