Oh the fun of working from home! My friends sometimes ask how I have the ability to get as much work done on my blog and company as I do (clearly, people, I neglect my kids all day long.) The truth is that it’s not easy and often times I’m switching from changing a dirty diaper to speaking on the phone with a rep about a project, then referreeing a fight between the kids all in a matter of minutes, and sometimes all at once. On the days my shift-working husband was home, he would tell me to go into a room and close the door to work. The thing was, I had no such room that was a comfortable working space since sitting on our bed with my laptop wasn’t going to cut it.
In May we finally finished the renovations on our basement spare room and I now have a room, or a corner of it at least, to call my own!
We put in flooring and then painted the walls a beautiful blue color, then accented it with white baseboards and window trim. My desk is perfect for my laptop, phone and notepad and of course there’s a printer nearby!
The printer you see there is my new HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in-One Printer!
Some of my favorite features of this printer include a 3.5″ touch screen, two-sided printing, templates for calendars and more from HP Quick Forms, wireless printing (which I love love love!) and the ability to even print from my iPhone or iPad with AirPrint™.
I always whine for ask my husband to hook up new electronics while I watch (otherwise there’s the risk of things being thrown!) This printer install was super-easy because of the touch-screen and on-screen displays. Unsure how to install the ink cartridges? One touch gives you an on-screen demonstration video on how exactly to do it! Setting up the wireless was easy too with easy to follow instructions and touch-screen ease.
I often have to print, sign, scan and email documents and this printer makes the entire process quick and easy too. Oh, and it prints photos beautifully! Really, I can’t find anything not to rave about with this printer – I’m quite happy in my little space!
I’m in dire need of a new printer! for the new school year My current one has paper jams every three pages!
My printer is acting goofy and on it’s last legs. Thanks for the giveaway!
I need a printer to finish up a few scrapbooks that have been on hold for a very long time!
i desperately need a new printer for my little space also. too many projects waiting for something 🙂
thanks for the opportunity!
I could really use a great printer as I also work from home!
I would love this because my old printer doesn’t work very well anymore. My daughter’s birthday is coming up and I need to print some invitations.
It would go to my daughter
I’d love a printer with Airprint so that I can print from my iPad.
The ink in my old printer dried up, and the ink costs more than a new printer!
Sure could use one at home – currently do not have one at home which makes printing coupons very hard 😉 Everynow and then I get a chance to print them off at work but not always:(
I’d love to win this printer as it would be a much better printer than the one we currently use!
My husband lost the cord for me to plug into the printer and so now I have to email him everything to print! I think I’d like to make my own space for blogging and my side business and a printer is definitely something I would need.
I would like to win because my printer is old and I can’t afford to buy a new one right now.
Would love to win this for my Dad! 🙂
because our printer has died and gone to printer heaven! so we need a new one!
Would love a new printer…my HP printer i had for 6 years finally kicked last month and I’ve been making do with a friend’s old printer. This one looks fabulous.
HP is a great brand when it comes to printers. Have had great success with them.
Great space! Just like everyone else, i could use a new printer too .
I’d like to win a new printer so my children can have a new, better printer to use for the school year! Believe it or not, even in first & second grade, there are plenty of printable projects they’ll be doing throughout the year.
My printer is very slow and would love to have a new one!!!

We could really use a better printer. My husband has to print off all kinds of flyers and sheets on a weekly basis. This would help out a lot, plus my computer is an HP. 🙂
I’d like a new printer because I don’t have one 🙁 Mine gave out about a year ago. I’ve been getting my husband to print stuff for me at work.

I dont have a printer, so winning this one would be great!
Well, my daughter’s father kicked mine over in his sleep and I have yet to see if it still works (I’m guessing by the looks of it that it’s not a happy printer anymore). Technically he should be buying me a new one instead of me entering to win one but my odds are better on random.org, lol
The printer we have was about $30.00 6 years ago. I am pretty sure we put a new cartridge in it every 4 pages or so and we don’t even do any photo printing! I would love to have a printer I could network!
I would love to win a new printer because mine isn’t printing right anymore, so many paper jams.
Because I can’t print any colour photos for my scrapbooking projects 🙁
my printer is so old its about 10 years old. I would love to get another one. I scrapbook and take lots of photos. I would love to do wireless printing:)
Hi! I just found your blog and I love it already! I also recently started working at home full time alongside my husband who also works from home. I can very much relate to the taking phone calls and sitting on the bed with a laptop in order to be behind a closed door!
This would be wonderful to win as my daughter is leaving for University and needs a printer and with all the other University costs it would be wonderful not to have this cost! Such a great giveaway!
I’d like to win a new printer because mine is old and tempermental!

The wireless capacity is the most exciting feature for me because we only have a laptop (and no desk) so it would be great to send jobs to the printer without having to plug in. There are a lot of other reasons though…looks like a really cool printer!
My printer doesn’t print pictures anymore so it would be wonderful to have one that does!

My Printer is obsolete and is ready to retire into a BOAT ANCHOR. Anything I try to print, out comes two pages with words on both papers. Have properly cleaned it. Retry, pages get stuck. GRRRRR. Warranty on it expired 17 days ago. *sigh*. Must go outside and enjoy the day before this printer gets RATTLED.

Not that I don’t love our old printer- no actually I do hate it! It would be a refreshing change to be able to print in COLOUR and unless we hand feed the paper at the correct angle it inevitably jams up…. A new printer would be fantastic we could finally make our own B-day party invites.
