Print all the things!

Earlier this month, HP sent me an Deskjet Ink Advantage e-All-in-One printer to try out.

I was going to take it home with me but then I thought to myself, lets see how this works in the office.

It took 5 minutes to set up the printer on our network and another 5 minutes for me and the guys in my office to connect.  Then it was A for Away.

We tend to print a lot of maps and graphs for our work, in packs for meetings and usually have to print one colour copy and the rest in black and white.  We managed to print 10 full packs in colour in under 10 minutes and the last pack was just as bright and fresh as the first one.  And the ink kept going and going and going.

One of the guys came bouncing up to me, waving his phone on the 2nd day.  He had discovered the HP All-in-One Remote app.  What followed was a full hour of playing with all the features, particularly the scan directly to your phone feature.

What I loved was that for such a small machine it is incredibly powerful, not many small machines print and scan double sided pages, this function made life so much easier for me, never mind being more cost effective.  Going back to our regular machine took some getting used to.

Bottom line, we all thoroughly enjoyed using this little printer and are all in agreement, dynamite definitely comes in small packages!

*HP sent me the printer plus an extra set of ink to use for 2 weeks.  I was not paid to write this review.

You will never catch me…

Thanks {Laura-Kim} and {Cindy} for the inspiration today 🙂

You will never catch me fighting with the kids about brushing their hair on the weekends, its just not worth the aggravation.

You will never catch me saying no to carbs.

You will never catch me without nail polish on.

You will never catch me wearing high heals unless its a very fancy function.

You will never catch me drinking decaf coffee.

You will never catch me drinking fat free anything.

You will never catch me running. Not unless something nasty is chasing me and even then, if it looks like it would be a quick, painless death I still may not run.

You will never catch me eating gummy bears, Turkish delight or licorice.

Gratuitous pics of my kids 😉

Ice cream dreams

Holy moly!

The guys at work spoiled me for my birthday and bought me a KRUPS ice cream churner.

So awesomely exciting.

I have not stopped making ice cream since I got the machine.

So far I have made:

  • Vanilla
  • Vanilla with Top Deck pieces
  • Condensed milk
  • Condensed milk with nougat pieces
  • Dairy milk chocolate

I did try and make a sorbet but it didn’t churn, no idea why, but I will try that again soon.

Next up will be white chocolate and Smarties!
