If you know me, I am notorious for labeling our belongings, especially the kids stuff. So a couple of years back I was in search of durable labels. And I mean DURABLE iron-on clothing labels that withstand wash after wash and stick-on vinyl labels that are dishwasher & microwave safe. With a quick google search, I found several options, which I blogged about HERE. I purchased a couple of different kinds from different companies and appropriately named, Stuck on You are the labels I love the most!
Recently, I entered a contest to share my story...
I Was Lost & Now I'm Found!
This year my daughter started kindergarten at a private school, where they wear uniforms, including a very nice cardigan sweater. My daughter is usually very good about keeping tabs on her stuff, but one day she was really hot while outside on the playground and removed her cardigan and forgot to grab it on her way back to class. When I picked her up from school, she told me she left it on the playground, so off we went to check the playground, then the lost and found area. Sadly, nothing. Read More...
I was thrilled to be informed of winning the contest in this category and I am even more thrilled to share the news of Stuck On You continuing their 10-year Birthday Celebration where you [the readers, fans, etc.] GET the GIFTS! So I highly encourage you to check out the amazing products that Stuck on You USA has to offer, enter their contest, follow @stuckonyouusa on twitter, be a Facebook Fan, etc.
Enjoy!

A few weeks ago a mystery package came in the mail and I found out I was accepted to be one of 200 Purex Insiders.
When I originally signed up, I wasn't even really sure what a Purex Insider meant. Well I soon learned that as a Purex Insider I am one of the first consumers to try their new Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets and have been asked to tell them what I think about it. I'll also have a chance to share money saving coupons with friends.
The mystery package came with a sample of their new revolutionary product. At first glance, I was quite impressed with their concept of “3 laundry products in 1.” Heck, no more heavy bottles of laundry supplies. No more measuring. No more forgetting to put the fabric softener in during the rinse cycle. No more forgetting to put in the dryer sheet.
Taken from a press release, PUREX® BRAND REVOLUTIONIZES THE LAUNDRY CATEGORY!, Purex describes their new product as follows:
Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ laundry sheets are thin, lightweight and sturdy, and formulated with the perfect amount of detergent, softening and anti-static ingredients for a single load of wash. Simply toss a laundry sheet into your washing machine along with each load, and the blue detergent portion releases during the wash cycle. When the wash cycle is complete, simply transfer the laundry sheet to the dryer along with the wash load. The heat of the dryer activates the softening and anti-static ingredients, leaving laundry clean, soft and freshly scented. It’s that simple. The days of waiting for the rinse cycle are now over.
For me, laundry is not so fun. For my daughter, anything she can do to help… is fun. And surprise, surprise, she loves to help me with laundry. And now with Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ laundry sheets being so simple & easy to use, even a little 5 year old can have some fun while helping out with doing laundry! =)
Overall, I'm quite impressed with this new product. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
Now if only my laundry could magically transport itself from the washer to the dryer!
I’m the type of person who labels everything. I can’t help it, it’s pretty much in my nature. I mostly use a permanent marker on masking tape. And I’ve been known to even write directly on the back of my children’s clothing tags.When my children started daycare and preschool we were asked to label all of their belongings (and for good reason). I definitely wanted to be sure I got the jacket back that I sent my daughter to school with.
Frustrated with ink washing off & tape peeling I did a quick search on the internet and what I found, I soon fell in love with… great looking, fun, and very durable labels!- Vinyl stick-on labels that are dishwasher & microwave safe in several sizes. Perfect for bottles, sippy cups, toys, toothbrushes, and more.
- Iron-on labels that withstand extensive machine washing & drying. Perfect for jackets, sweaters, blankets, and more.
- Extra tough stick-on shoe labels. Perfect for my daughters ballet & tap shoes which are identical to the other 12 pairs of dance shoes in her dance class.
So if you are obsessed with labeling, frustrated with losing your child’s jacket, or just want to be able to identify what belongs to your child, then these websites are a must to check out.If you know of other online websites or brick & mortar stores where you can purchase quality stick-on or iron-on labels…PLEASE share!
