That’s right! This spring I officially became a sideline sitting, crazy cheer leading, sport STUFF toting, soccer mom! And to celebrate we are having a giveaway!
I don’t know how all of you moms do it. My oldest son is in the Young Marines and now my youngest son is in soccer. In the fall I am thinking about signing up my daughter for dance. I know all of their activities won’t coincide all the time but I will be adding chauffeur to my list of mom duties for sure!
One thing that helps us stay organized around our house is our Mabel’s Labels. I’m lucky enough to have a stock pile of labels at hand since that is one of the perks I get for blogging with them. A girl can never have too many labels, right! Today on the Mabelhood I shared how I keep my son’s soccer gear organized. If it weren’t for tote bags and labels this mom would have a hard time keeping things together!
Let’s give three cheers for our friends at Mabel’s Labels for helping us keep track of the stuff kids lose!Today in celebration of my becoming an official soccer mom and doing so in organized style, I am giving away one Mabel’s Labels LOL Essentials Combo Pack! Valued at $48! Here is what you get… 30 Sticky Labels, 12 Shoe Labels, 70 Tag MatesTM or 40 Iron-Ons, and 2 Teeny TagsTM. That is a great deal of labels to get you started!
If you are wondering just how tough these labels are, check out my past vlog about Mabel’s Labels withstanding the dishwasher. Those same labels are still going strong! You can also check out these fun videos of the Mabel’s Gang testing out their labels.
** This giveaway has ended thank you, everyone for entering! Gina from Moneywise Moms you are the winner! You will receive an email from me shortly.
Now on to the giveaway! You have until 12pm central time on Monday, April 19th to enter! And here are the two easy ways you can enter!
1. Join the official new Complete Organizing Solutions Community at The Blog Frog and leave a comment in the forum. I just posted the question… How many activities are your children in during the year, and what type of things do you have to keep track of? Is there a sport or activity you dread because of all of the STUFF involved that needs organizing?
If joining a community is not your thing, that’s ok you can answer the question in the comments below. If your kids are not in sports or activities yet, just leave a comment sharing what you would label with your new LOL Labels!
2. Follow me on twitter @TannaC and tweet… I want to Laugh Out Loud With Mabel’s Labels and so can you! http://bit.ly/cwV4Si
Happy Organizing and I look forward to discussing ideas with you in our new community!

Well I am a stay at home dad and let me tell you I have been using a system like this for years. My daughter is in dance, gymnastics, tee ball, soccer and my son was in soccer, football, baseball and now lacrosse and we are yet to lose a single thing.. Great offer
I enjoy your site. I follow you on twitter and also tweeted.
I’ve never had Mable’s Labels, but I have read about them on several sites. there is always a need for personalized labels, even for homeschoolers! Thank you!

I have three young ones (4, 4 and 6) so I’m trying not to overschedule them (or me!). Right now, my oldest has 1 activity, and that’s about what we can handle. This summer I’m putting all three on the swim team–we can walk to it and there shouldn’t be too much “gear,” just towels, right?
Already following you on Twitter. I tweeted:

These would be great! I’ve got two kiddos who swim and do Tae Kwon Do, and go to school with all sorts of gear… Thanks for the giveaway!
My kids are also too young to be involved in anything yet. But that doesn’t mean they don’t already have all their “stuff” to drag with us. For my 2 year old son, I used iron-on letters to put his name on a mini-backpack that he loves to carry with him. I know he will be involved in sports someday, and labels from mabel’s seem like such an awesome way to go. I also have 1 month old twin girls— not too much activity as of yet— ha!
i just added this site to my google reader and am so excited to keep up with your posts!
So far my oldest is the only one in activities, she’s 7. Karate, swimming, gymnastics, and we’re adding piano lessons this summer. The main time-takers will be karate and piano, gymnastics is just through community ed so it’s pretty easy going.
I think the main thing I’d use the labels for is travel bags and organizing my girls’ room… they share a small space and have a lot of “stuff” to cram in!
I would love to WIN these labels and use them for keeping track of all of my daughters stuff!! We recently started attending a moms group and have tons of play dates, and this summer after she turns 2 i plan on putting her in soccer and dance! These would come in handy then too!!! I can not wait to be a soccer mom!! :)
I would use these labels to help my children, ages 2 1/2 and 5, know where their things belong. We do gymnastics and karate right now, in the fall we’ll be doing soccer again. They each have cubbies and I’d love to be able to label each cubby…not only for their activity gear but for their toys in general.
2 kids: 3yo boy, 1.5yo girl. Son is in soccer (am I REALLY a soccer Mom already?!?) but we don’t have to tote lots of stuff YET. I’d use the Mabel’s Labels to label their toys so they stop fighting over them! Yeah, right….
3 kids: too many activities (hockey, swimming, horseback riding, soccer, baseball, Brownies, Girl Guides …)
Love Mabel’s Labels! Saved us last weekend when our youngest won the hockey championships and threw gloves, helmet and stick onto the ice in celebration — along with the rest of his team. Who knew all 6-year-old-boy hockey gloves look identical?!
Awesome giveaway!!
My son has played soccer and TBall. He loved soccer but he’s not the best runner out there, so it was always falling behind. We switched him over to TBall and he really enjoys it. This will be his second season. We only put him in one thing per season. So far, it’s only ever been the summer seasons that he’s done something. For TBall, we have to keep track of his helmit, glove, any balls that we bring, baseball hat, baseball bat (if and when we bring it) and of course his water bottle.

Mine are too little yet for much. But my oldest will be 3 this summer, and may start Awana this fall (at a different church than we regularly attend) I was just thinking yesterday about what it will be like to start being chauffer. As we are occasionally attending activities at my parents very large church I am starting to discover the need for labels. Also my oldest can now recognize the letters in her first name. Labeling her stuff is helping her to learn to recognize it all together, and is keeping her from taking over baby sister’s stuff too.
Thanks for the BF follow. I love your website!
I have 2 young boys and I am run off my feet most of the time but it’s great fun. Good luck with your giveaway and thanks for adding me as a friend on BlogFrog.
3 children — all girls. 2 in Ballet, 1 in Gymnastics. All 3 in different girl scout troops. All 3 on the Swim Team in the summer. In addition to labels (LOVE Mabel’s — they really stick) — I corral the appropriate uniforms and accessories for each sport/activity in one place. We never scramble on the way out the door. We just pick up everything we need from its assigned spot!
