I have exciting news to share with you all! I will blogging at Mabelhood every Thursday starting today! Mabel thought it was high time her friends had an organizing expert on board to give her readers some tips on organizing kids like her. I am so excited to be blogging with Julie Cole, one of the founding moms of Mabel’s Labels and the talented Caitlin Madden whom I met recently at the Type-A Mom Conference.
You’ll find me at the Mabelhood talking about ways to get kids and busy families organized. Pretty much the same thing I do here! I know some of you don’t care and some of you may but for disclosure sake, yes, this is a paid opportunity. I also get “paid” in labels. I can’t wait to share with you how I will use them around the house. I know Hubby is hoping I don’t go overboard. Who me? Just know that if you see me here posting a picture of one of my kids with a label on his or her forehead you know, it has gone TO FAR! So just keep an eye out for that. :) It can’t get too much worse I mean I already have my light switches labeled!
Here is the best thing yet! I have labels to share. Oh yes. To celebrate my news I’m giving away some labels today!

I like the return address labels.
I’d love to seem some antique-looking labels though !
I am a new subscriber of this blog!
I am a fan on facebook!
I am an organization nut! If I only had enough time to get everything labeled! I would LOVE to label all of my kitchen, from all the spices, sugar, flour, tupperware, silverware, drawers, and cabinets! Also my sons books, DVDs, and CDs.
My favorite thing on the Mabel’s Label’s website is the Combo Packs! I have bought both of them in different colors and with different icons for all of my toddler son’s things! They are a great value, and make sure all of his things find their way home from pre-school!
I like the tag labels and bin labels.
I am working on organizing my craft area – so there would definitely be a lot of label usage there. We are also getting a new organization system for Charley’s room – so I’d use some labels there along with pictures to show her where her toys go.
I like the 411 wristbands – great for use on field trips and trips to the amusement park…especially now that Charley is such a fan of running…oh and doing the opposite of everything we say :)
Just became a facebook fan :)
I am already a follower :)
I like the Tag Mates. I would find those quite useful and much easier than sewing something on!

I have subscribed to both the FB and the RSS. I love reading your posts. I LOVE your kitchen system and am already envisioning that in my kitchen (so thanks for the inspiration). I am pretty organized so my sister was surprised when I found someone who was MORE organized than me. Love it! :)
As for Mabel’s Labels – I love the bag tags. I have them on my son’s backpack and swimming bag. I would love to get more for my daughter and maybe even some for our family’s luggage!
Well, I’m officially a Facebook fan now, and I checked out Mabel’s Labels and would really love some clothing labels for the kids and household labels for me! I’m itching to redo my spices – start buying bulk at the co-op and make my own custom spice bottles. I have a lot of glass jars of staples in my pantry for which I’m using Post-its right now. I’d love to switch to Mabel’s Labels. Thanks for the give-away!

I like the good old fashioned iron on labels.
I would label all the baby clothes we are lending out so they have a better shot at coming back home
I love Mabel’s Labels… especially the clothing ones (iron-ons and tag mates). With two toddlers in daycare things are always getting mixed up with other kids and these would sure help that problem!
Okay–here’s a few ideas of how I would use the bin labels. We have a small home business that involves selling our wool as yarns and rovings and finished products. Bins help me keep things from piling up in a heap–but it’s not always easy to tell what weight of yarn is in the bin w/out a label. Voila! Mabel’s Labels to the rescue…
This would be a great use of the labels since you can customize them!
I have been, and will remain, a faithful blog follower… :-) Your posts always show up in my Blogger reading list.
Love the return address labels and the bin labels–I can think of *so* many ways I could use those…
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I really wanted the back-to-school pack when it was on special a couple month ago! I would love to label all of my 2 boy’s school supplies!
i’m already a subscriber!
I’m a FB fan. ;)
At home, I’d def. use the labels for the cords – I shudder whenever I have to get behind the computer desk – it’s such a jungle of cords back there!!
I would LOVE to have the sticky labels for my kiddos cups/dishes that go to preschool and mothers day out for lunches!
The bag tags are great – I’d label all of my kids’ bags, plus my husband’s laptop case & lunch sack!
I’d definitely go for the custom neat freak combo. I have so many bins I want to label :). pantry-toys-storage-clothing -oh i’m drooling. i’ll stop.

I am a Complete Organizing Solutions Facebook FAN!!
I would label, things in my cupboards, freezer, bathroom, and my kids rooms for sure!
Love the household labels, perfect for my everyday needs!
I subscribe!
I would label items in my pantry – the shelves and the canisters themselves, just for good measure.
I love the Household Labels, especially the Canister and Spice Labels.
I love the Tag-Mates!
Your button is on my blog. :)
Subscribed to FB fan page!
I label school supplies and bins, plastic tubs of toys and clothes, and more!
What a fabulous giveaway!!! I’m liking the neat freak combo pack (although it is very hard to choose).
Oh, I just love the spice and canister labels. Sadly, mine are currently labeled with masking tape and a Sharpie, which is not nearly as classy. :-)
I am now a fan on Facebook! I purchase all my labels from Mabel’s Labels and my absolute favourite is the Tag Mates. They even label Show and Tell items.
Hi!
My *newest* must have, favorite Mabel’s product is the personalized xmas labels … this year I will be labelling home-made Christmas gifts with these beauties! I have subscribed to the new Facebook Fan Page!

Tag Mates. It’s pretty bad when my daughter lost her favorite shirt at daycare. A few days ago, I saw a little girl in her room with the same favorite shirt on…what are the chances!
I subscribed to your blog and now am a FB fan!
Oh no! Hopefully your little one will find a new favorite shirt to wear! (This happened to me 15 years ago and I still remember the girl who “stole” my shirt. LOL)

I would replace the labels on the kids’ toys, label the trash cans, *maybe* our spices.
I love the curbside labels! So much brighter than our marker and stencil system!
I found your FB page and became a fan!
I subscribe to your blog. (And also, I can’t get your FB link above to work.)
The first thing I would label would be my travel mugs! I need to be able to take my coffee everywhere! :)
I like the “Sticky Labels”. I SO need to win this!
I would love the Skinny Mini’s so that I could label my son’s bottles for Daycare, and my tupperware for work. I hate when my lunch gets stolen!
I would also label our cake/pie pans, those NEVER seem to make it back to our house!
Skinny Mini’s are my MOST favorite, but I like the Tag-Mates too.
I am a FB Fan! Love MabelsLabels!!
I subscribed to your blog!
I got here through the kind of strange avenues you go when looking for everything and nothing on “one of those days”! LOL I am a total wannabe organized person..I love your information and am going to try and do as I am told! Ordered my first set of Mabels labels a year ago when my daughter started kindergarten!
I’m a FB fan =)
I would label my kids cups they take to school, their sweaters, back packs, etc….
I love the school pack. I have one already for my daughter and need one for my 3 year old son who just started preschool last month.
and I just
spelledtyped “constantly” wrong; wow.I would label E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.
With three kids who contastantly fight over everything; I need labels.
The Custom Combo Labels (Household) look cool!
I became a fan on facebook; wahoo!
I became a fan on facebook.
I subscribe and love all your great ideas.
I like the custom bin labels on Mabel’s labels.
I would label all my boxes for storage!
Please give Me Crafter pack I am organizing My crafts after 4 floods thanks for the sweepstakes
I am a face book follower ;)
I would need all the labels LOL
For starters I want the label for the trash can! SO CUTE!!!
Then I have to label the kids stuff for MOPs and preschool coming up so those would come in handy. And since I love to label EVERYTHING the Custom neat freak collection would be right up my alley! And since I am a mama who loves to keep my babies active I need the Mama cards! How nifty!
My favorite labels are the Iron on’s and the curbsides! What a great idea!
I love the clothing labels, the bin labels, the food labels and the stationary is really cool. I have been a subscriber for a while but just became a fan on Facebook. Whoa, you go girl! I love your site! Keep up the good work!
If I find labels on MY under clothes dear…..
What is that not cool at the gym or something, to be sporting your name on a label? I could put a cool football helmet icon on it so you look sporty!
I subscribe, and am now a fan on FB!! :)
W/ my son now in Kindergarten, it’s suggested that everything be labeled w/ his name: coat, mittens, shoes, lunchbag, backpack… I resorted to writing in permanent marker, but I’d LOVE to win this so I could get some of the iron-ons!!!
I know it’s getting crazy! We had to out their names on each individual crayon! Next year skinny minis!
EACH crayon?! Wow.
At my son’s school, each family had a list of supplies to bring the first day (even down to Kleenex and hand sanitizer!), and all of the kids in the class use them throughout the school year. So it’s just his personal objects that need labeling – it’s still a lot of stuff, though!!
I love thier shoe labels!!
I have been a subscriber to your blog, signed up for the fan page and these labels are cool. I like the clothing labels and would donate them to the new preschool our church just opened on August 3 with 126 students the first day!
Because I believe in the art of letter writing, I LOVE the Stationary Kit. Seriously, it makes me giddy to think of having that.
You know I subscribe and follow you on twitter. I’m your fan on Facebook now too. You’re just everywhere!! :) Great job! and congrats on The Mabelhood!
@juliebavi
No doubt about it: I would want the Crafter Pack, Cord Control, and some Custom Bin Labels. So that I can organize my craft studio and streamline processes for my etsy store :-D
I’ve been a subscriber here for a while, but now that I know you have a FB fan page, I’m a fan there as well.
Toni, My husband liked the cord control labels as well! So much labeling to do!
I’m also a subscriber.
I need the clothing labels most of all. My son already had a jacket stolen at school and just maybe this would make someone think twice before doing it again.
I’m trying to get organized so I would use labels all over the place, but I’d especially use the Allergy Alerts on the stuff I send with my son to preschool, like his lunch bag.
Because of my son’s allergies, I’d love the Allergy Alerts.
The Allergy Alerts are a great idea, you can never be too safe. At my son and daughter’s preschool they put a big sign on the front door reminding parents what allergies were in the classroom in case they brought snack. I love that they take that extra precaution. They are very organized there! :)
I subscribe and I just became a fan on your facebook page. I love the iron-ons, they wash really well and even the clothing that has been passed on, they look great. And I label everything but I haven’t been through the house in awhile so it is need of an updating.
I’m a subscriber
I have tons of baskets that need to be labeled!
I would love to get the return address labels
I would label water bottles and other items my kids take to school

I love the Skinny-Minis
