Our kids starting school can be a stressful time for all of us. A new experience for everyone! Lists of things to remember, new schedules to adapt and lots of stuff to keep track of and hope your kids don't lose! We spend all this time and money to get all the supplies, only to have our child leave something at school, never to be seen again! I can't tell you how many sippy cups I lost that first year we did preschool. Then I heard about Mabel's Labels and we ran into them at the first MOPS Convention I attended. They told us about this awesome fundraiser they have and we took all the information home. We have been doing this fundraiser for a few years now and I've only lost one thing since (yes it was labeled and no I don't know what happened to it). We also lost a pair of shoes at KidsPark once. It was an honest mistake, all those target shoes look alike, someone just got a size up while we ended up with a size too small. I've just purchased our second set of shoe labels for my 5 year old. They are on our must list now! I've used the bag tags on lunch boxes, diaper bags, labels on sippy cups & food containers and tag mates on jackets & dance gear. I recently purchased the 4-1-1 wristbands to use when we go to theme parks or crowded places. They're customized to say "If lost please call..." with our cell numbers. You could also customize them with allergy information. While ordering the wristbands, I couldn't get a preview to load. The online chat service was amazing. The rep sent me an image with all the options with my wording on them so I could see exactly what it looked like before ordering. I love Mabel's Labels for the items it has saved me and for the support they have given to my favorite MOPS group! We get a percentage of all orders placed through our personalized website. The picture in this post is for their fundraiser combo - something you can only order through fundraisers. If you click on it, it will take you directly to the site that supports our group. If your kids go to our nurseries at MOPS, we ask that you label any diaper bags, sippy cups or bottles. This is a great way to get all you need and support our group at the same time! And the labels last! I've had some of the same labels on our sippy cups for 4 years now and they still show no sign of coming off. Feel free to share our link with anyone you know. They make great baby gifts and they also have plenty of items for us moms as well!
