A Time Out for Mommy

NYC Mom Blog

Spring Fever = Spring Cleaning!

This happens EVERY year.  The sun comes out and even though it’s still only 30 degrees outside, I get that little ounce of excitement. Spring is just around the corner. I LOVE Spring! This is my nesting time every year. I pull down all the curtains and throw them in the wash, I take the shades off and scrub them down in the tub. I open all the windows – and then get yelled at by my husband who reminds me that it is STILL only 30 degrees out. Okay, so I get a little excited. What’s a girl to do? This is the first year that I spent indoors the entire season, so Spring fever is hitting me a little hard this year. Lucky for me I had the opportunity of losing my job and being a stay at home mom.

Along with cleaning the house, I also make sure that the office is clean from any clutter papers. I shred EVERYTHING! I think it is so important to shred all important documents because of identity theft that happens everyday. People are unaware of the malicious acts of others until it is too late. Once someone has committed identity fraud against you, it can take years to clear up your record. I have a bad habit of letting things pile up because my shredder is obnoxiously loud and my daughter jumps out of her skin every time we turn it on.



I’ve been meaning to try out a new shredder.. Mine is on its last leg. I have heard wonderful things about the Fellowes P-12C Shredder. Here are the details on it as found on the Fellowes.com site:


  • Shreds 12 sheets per pass into 5/32” x 2” cross-cut particles (Security Level 3)
  • Patented SafeSense® Technology stops shredding when hands touch the paper opening
  • Slim profile fits neatly under desks
  • 4-gallon bin
  • For individual use



You can currently purchase this shredder at Target!


Disclosure: The views stated above are my own honest opinions on the product. I have been entered in a drawing to win a Fellowes P-12C Shredder which is sponsored by One2One Network and Fellowes. This post is my entry into their giveaway
