Jewish Latin Princess

Back to School Giveaway!

B”H

Hello everyone! Last week was back to school week around here.  My kids went back to school, and I started teaching again! We all had a great few days and I’m looking forward to a great school year.

¡Hola a todas! La semana pasada comenzamos las clases por estos lados. Mis chicos regresaron a la escuela y yo comencé a enseñar de nuevo. Tanto ellos como yo tuvimos buenos días de regreso a la rutina y estoy entusiasmada con el nuevo año escolar.

School year means we need well sharpened pencils available around here, and kids that don’t complain because their sharpener cannot do the job… Does this ever happened in your home? Fret no more, for today you’ll have the chance to win one of my favorite school supplies to help your kids (and you) have an awesome school year: Classroom Friendly Supplies‘  pencil sharpener!

Y año escolar implica que por aquí tenemos que tener lápices con buenas puntas y evitarnos las quejas de… “¡no encontramos lapices y el saca puntas no funciona!” ¿Nunca ha ocurrido en sus casas? Si sí, no se preocupen, pues hoy tendrán la oportunidad de ganarse uno de mis útiles escolares favoritos para que sus hijos (y ustedes) tengan un tremendo año escolar: el saca puntas de Classroom Friendly Supplies!

I’ve tried almost every pencil sharpener from electric to manual. Some electric sharpeners could give a good result, but not for long. They all died within a year of use! :-( So, last year I searched online and discovered Classroom Friendly Supplies‘ pencil sharpener. I bought it in blue to match the color scheme in my kitchen as most of after school life happens in my kitchen (yes, even though they all have their own desks in their rooms, and they have another desk in the playroom!).

Yo he tratado casi todos los saca puntas desde eléctricos a manuales. Algunos eléctricos dieron buenos resultados, pero ninguno duro mucho tiempo- todos murieron en menos de un año de uso. :-( El año pasado investigué y descubrí este saca puntas. Lo compré en azul para combinar los colores de mi cocina, ya que la mayoría de las tareas y el barullo de las tardes termina ocurriendo en mi cocina (¡a pesar de que todos tienen escritorios en sus cuartos y ademas otro escritorio en el cuarto de juegos!).

It lives inside this cabinet and kids pull it out every time they need it. But, in truth it is so cute that I don’t mind it on my counter space when the kids just leave it there. ;-)

Vive en un armario en la cocina con los diccionarios y otras cosas que necesitan menudo y lo sacan cuando lo necesitan. Pero es tan divino que no me molesta verlo en mi counter cuando los chicos lo dejan ahí. ;-)

This beauty has survived an entire year and is still going strong. And it makes THE BEST sharpened pencils ever. You see these tips…? That’s what we want my friends! Sharpened pencils… happy kids, and happy mama’s.

Esta belleza ha sobrevivido mas un año y está como nuevo. Y lo mejor de todo es que saca LAS MEJORES PUNTAS… ¿ven? Eso es lo que queremos amigas… lápices con buenas puntas…chicos felices y mamás mas felices aún ;-).

And can we discuss how cute this vintage looking pencil sharpener is!? The colors are awesome! Hurray for perfect balance of form and function!

¿Y podemos discutir cuan bello es este saca puntas con ese look “vintage”? ¡Y los colores! ¡Bravo por un producto con el balance perfecto de función y forma!

We were all thrilled around here when Classroom Friendly Supplies sent us a pink pencil sharpener to try out and offered to host a giveaway for JewishLatinPrincess readers.

Nos alegramos muchísimo cuando Classroom Friendly Supplies nos envió uno en rosado para probarlo y ofreció hacer una rifa para las lectoras de JewishLatinPrincess.

I now own the blue and the pink. But, please someone get the hunter green! I’m very tempted to get the black one for my classroom. (PTO, are you reading???) :-)

Ahora tengo el azul y el rosado, pero por favor alguien escoja el verde. Estoy con ganas de comprar el negro para mi salón de clases. (Las mamas del PTO de mi colegio, ¿están leyendo?) :-)

If you’re a teacher, a mommy, or a PTO member, you will love this giveaway because one of these beautiful and amazingly functional pencil sharpeners will be yours to keep or donate to your school! No, seriously, wouldn’t this make a great gift to teachers from the school’s PTO? Contest is for U.S. residents only. It ends on September 9 at midnight. I wish you the best of luck and I can’t wait to see who the lucky winner is and which one you choose!

Si eres maestra, mamá, o miembro del PTO, te encantará esta rifa por que uno de estos maravillosos y lindos sacapuntas sera tuyo. No, en serio, ¿no harían estos un lindo regalo para las maestras, de parte del PTO de las escuela? El concurso es para residentes de los EEUU solamente. Termina el 9 de septiembre a la medianoche. ¡Les deseo suerte y me muero por saber quien lo gana y cual escoge!

    Yael is a delight! My interview with her for Jewish Latin Princess was like talking to an old friend. Her questions are thought-provoking, insightful and generous. Her warm approach allowed me to be myself, and I loved having the opportunity to share my story in such an engaging way.

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
