{Review and Giveaway} Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium

For the past week I have been trying out Office 365 Home Premium and I have been trying to find ways to use it to make my life a little easier around the house.

So far I have found a few:

I have started creating recipe cards for all of my recipes so they are easy for me to grab and refer to when I am baking. I currently use a notebook with jotted down recipes or bookmark them online. But bookmarking doesn't always work as we regularly lose Internet here.

But if you want to go totally paperless with your recipes there is an excellent Excel template that would be perfect!

And if you have ambitions of writing your own cook book, well Publisher has a template for that!
I am also working on a new chore chart for kids but there are some great templates available too.
Here is one from Excel:


And if you are in need of some rewards charts, well they are super easy to make. I used a Calendar template to make one for the kids to keep their room clean, they seem to go crazy for rewards chart, so fingers crossed this works.

We are still negotiating their rewards though.

 

Something I have noticed with the new Office 365 is that there are a tonne of free templates and the search function is a lot more user friendly. I was just playing around and searching for random things that popped into my head and I came across some really great educational resources for the kids.

Mahli is just starting to learn her sight words so I am sure these templates will come in handy.

 

I am still working my way around Office 365, so can't offer much more info at this stage but for loads of ideas on how to get the most out of Office 365 be sure to check out www.timeto365.com
