I made it into the Carolina Pad blogger group! Okay, so that isn’t an official name or anything, but for lack of the official terms, it is what it is.

Here’s what I got :

• 2 Road Trip spiral-less notebooks
• 2 Road Trip personal notebooks
• 2 Road Trip two-pocket folders

Here’s what they told me;

So, here’s what we did for spring break this year. Nothing.

My youngest daughter has emotional and developmental issues so she’s involved with a great group who offers camps during school breaks. She got to go to camp 3 days this week, one day she even got to go to the zoo.

Mid week, my oldest and I went to the gun range to practice shooting my Christmas present. A handgun! She’s a great shot, so don’t with her mama, or you’ll have a 12 year old to deal with.

All kidding aside, I’m using my notebooks to begin journaling about my going to school. I’ve decided traditional school isn’t going to work for me. The timing just can’t get worked out between my 2 kids and a part time real life job. Thanks in part to the journaling I’ve done since getting my new notebooks, I’ve decided to become a coach which means school online for a year or two.  No, it wasn’t just the notebook, I’ve done my homework about this line of work.

Here’s my feedback on these products.

I love both the light and dark shades. The design is a little less shiny on the full size notebooks than on the small notebook and the folder.

The full size notebook isn’t spiral, so it doesn’t open and lay flat which bugs me, but the pages are perforated and have holes to put into a 3 ring binder.

The small notebook is a great size. It’s not super small like the kind you can’t even get half of a full sentence jotted on, but is small enough to fit into a purse. I’m using it to do some homework for a business class I’m taking.

All in all, I like the products a lot. The design makes me want to take out the products and use them and I have hid them from my 12 year old so she won’t steal them.

So, if you’d like to win your own set from me here at www.alexshares.com leave some comments! Tell me what you did for this spring break (or any spring break for that matter) and what you might use your notebooks for.

I’ll pick a winner at random.org next Sunday.
