Label me this....Label me that

Noah has a tendency to lose his stuff. He will accidentally leave it at my sister’s house almost every time he goes over there. I joke with my sister and say she purposely takes Noah’s stuff. I was delighted to be given the opportunity to try out Mabel’s Labels. Mabel’s Labels are adorable personalized labels.

Mabel’s Labels are colorful fun labels for your kid’s things. They come in a variety of colors and there are many icons you can choose from. There are different types of labels as well. They have clothing labels that are safe for the washer and dryer. Since they stick you don’t have to sew them in to the clothing!

There is also labels that are safe for the top rack of your dishwasher to label sippy cups, bottles, bowls and spoons. That would be great for daycare or the babysitter. The daycare teachers will love these.

Maybe your children are members of a play group or in scouts, Mabel’s Labels has shoe labels too! No more trying to figure out whose shoes are whose. Those would be great for children that play sports because they all have the same shoes. You put a protective top label on the top of it in case you were wondering about all the wear and tear from your feet.

Julie Cole had the brilliant idea for Mabel’s Labels after years of chasing her children’s belongings at daycare, school and friends’ houses. She got together with three of her female family members and Mabel’s Labels were born! Mabel’s Labels is a Canada based company that will gladly ship anywhere you can stick a label to something. They also make Allergy Alert Labels, Personalized Stationary, iron on labels for your tagless clothing and ID bracelets to name a few of the products. All items are created in house at Mabel’s Labels headquarters in Hamilton Ontario.

Many celebrity parents use Mabel’s Labels. They are a big hit with famous moms and dads. I can understand why because they are absolutely adorable. A few of Mabel’s Labels A listers are Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, and Kevin Costner. Mabel’s Labels have been featured on shows like The View, the Early Show and Canada AM. They also have been featured in magazines such as Parents Magazine, Today’s Parent, The Washington Post, Newsday and many other regional parenting publications. Mabel’s Labels has also won awards like the 2007 SavyMom “Momupreneur of the year” award, and Best product Awards from Baby Gizmo and iparenting Media.

Noah got the Ultimate Back to School Combo and his labels are the Naturals colors. He also got a fire truck image on them as well. He loves them. Noah can recognize his own name. So it is really extra special for him. He loves to spell his name for me. Every time he sees one of his labels he will say Fire truck and most of the time he will say N-O-A-H that spells Noah! The labels are extremely durable. My personal favorite is the new Teeny Tags because they are so cute. They look like little dog tags. We love Mabel’s Labels and we are having lots of fun labeling Noah’s things.

The Ultimate Back to School combo is on sale now. It contains 50 Tag-Mates, 40 Skinny-Minis, 16 Shoe Labels, 2 NEW Teeny Tags. It is only available until September 25th 2009. So hurry! It costs 39 dollars USD.

Boogie Wipes Review

Kids get sick….Its a fact of life. They get runny noses and stuffy ones. You reach for the nearest tissue or toilet paper. Tissues and toilet paper are more trouble than they are helpers. Your child’s nose gets sore, even with the ones that claim to make your nose not hurt. Not to mention they aren’t very good at cleanly wiping the sticky mess your child’s nose makes. Well drop the tissue and try out these. They are called Boogie Wipes.

Boogie Wipes are Saline wipes that make nose blowing a breeze! Boogie Wipes helps break up the mucous. Boogie Wipes were created by two mothers that were sick of chasing runny noses. Boogie wipes are Alcohol Free! They are also Phthalate & Paraben Free. They are made with Natural Saline to Dissolve Mucus. They are Hypoallergenic, so that means they are safe for all ages.

These wipes will actually moisturize your nostrils with Vitamin E, Aloe and Chamomile. Did you know the number one reason for nose bleeds is dried cracked nasal passages? That is another reason to use Boogie Wipes. They come in three fun scents. They are Grape, Fresh Scent and Magic Menthol. Magic Menthol is for those extra stuffy noses. Kids love the smell of them which is important because they are for your nose so a great scent is a must.

Noah has a cold right now. He doesn’t get sick very often but I was armed with Boogie Wipes to wipe his nose. Noah will not only wipe his own nose but he will actually ask to wipe his nose. He would of never asked to wipe his nose with a tissue, in fact it was a real battle and upsetting for both of us when he would use a normal tissue. Boogie Wipes are extremely soft and they are scented. Our favorite is the Grape! I tried one out just to see what it was like and it felt cool and refreshing. It felt so clean as well.

I told my mom about Boogie Wipes and I thought that she should get some for her students. She teaches children with physical and mental challenges so some of them don’t have the motor skills to wipe their own noses. Wiping their noses will be easier for her because Boogie Wipes are so thick and have saline in them so it is less mess than tissue. I think that anyone with a nose should have Boogie Wipes because they aren’t just for kids. They are for those who are kids at heart too!

Boogie Wipes come in packages of 40 wipes or individually wrapped wipes. The single serve wipes are great to keep in your car or your purse for those times when you need them on the go. Just think no more rough fast food napkins used as a tissue. We all have them in our glove boxes for that purpose. No more smashed boxes of tissues that get lost under your car seat. Colds will still be miserable but Boogie Wipes will help pamper your nose.

Thank you to Boogie Wipes for giving me the opportunity to try out some Boogie Wipes.

You can find Boogie Wipes at a variety of stores. Go Here to find a location near you. If there isn’t one have no fear you can order them online. They retail about $3.99 a pack and the individual wipes are $2.99 for a pack of 10.

If you sign up for The Boogie Bunch you can also get a coupon for $1.00 off.

U-G-L-Y you aint got no alibi

you ugly yeah yeah you UGLY!

I turned 28 on August 29th. My best friend Rene asked me for my mailing address. I of course gave it to her. I thought maybe she was sending me a card. So I got the mail today and I saw that I had an envelope from her in the stack of mail. I was very curious to see what she sent because I love getting mail, especially from a sweetheart like Rene. So I opened it and was like what is this and I looked at it and it was the most ugliest wallpaper in the world.

I have seen ugly wall paper in my day usually in bathrooms and random people’s homes. Not going to single anyone out but man I have seen ugly. This isn’t ugly it is hideous! This is the wallpaper that has been hanging at her work for like over 16 years. She worked there before and it was hanging then and then she moved to South Carolina and it is still hanging today.

I went with her to work one night when I was visiting her and it was quite scary. We talk about how they are really alive and they are doing weird things in the store kind of like in the movie The Witches where the Grand High Witch puts the little girl in the painting and she moved around and grew old and one day she just disappeared.

I love the little gift she sent me. I think I scared my son though cause I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t stop. It really made my week. So Thanks Rene! I love you! Here is a picture of the wall paper and all it’s glory!
