When I'm not freaking out about my daughter's entry into kindergarten, I'm trying to do our back-to-school shopping little by little. While I do fondly recall hitting the stores for bargins and I *love* back-to-school shopping, I just don't want to do it all at once this year.
This week's Chicago Parent prize is a pack from Mabel's Labels. GO AND ENTER NOW!
I was lucky to get a sample pack of sticky labels in spring 2007. I wanted to give them a good trial before writing them up. I'm an office supply junkie. I've seen labels say that they survive anything that peel away within days.
My daughter's swimsuits, leotards, dolls, backpack, water bottle, tennis shoes and a few other things I can't remember have been labeled using Mabel's Labels. How many fell off? NONE! Not even the label on her water bottle fell off! I really thought this one would since, well, it got wet a lot. Water condensing, getting washed, etc. It was still there when I finally tossed the bottle for a Kleen Kanteen.
Of course now that the kid is headed off to the world of kindergarten, where I won't pick her up each day and get to make sure everything she is bringing home is hers AND that she has everything I dropped her off with, I am in desperate need for some new labels. And I could really use that prize pack, but alas, can't enter. But you can and you really should.
Veronica can be found at a coffee shop crying on September 2nd, perhaps even blogging at one her sites: Viva la Feminista, WIMN's Voices, and Work it, Mom! You can also follow Veronica at Twitter.
