Clothing Labels
Okay okay I know, clothing labels on my blog. Well, it’s a home blog and when I am not working or blogging I am a mom to 3 crazies. I think it is only natural that by the end of the school year moms tend to get more sentimental. I don’t think it’s just me. I have my first born leaving elementary school FOREVER! Entering the stages of adulthood via middle school in the Fall.
To help with this massive transition (okay, so he isn’t going to college but it sure feels like it), his local elementary school takes the entire class for 2 nights/3 days on an outdoor ed trip. For some kids and moms it was no big deal. But for this momma bear it surely was. I literally have not sent my kids away from home in, well, ever.
I don’t think it is necessarily controlling, or over protective parenting but, well, okay, maybe it is. Hey, I only have them with me for a short period of time so I am soaking in every second.
I am obviously a little controlling and that comes with labels. I don’t mean “labels” but literally labels, for their supplies and clothing to go “camping.”
Clothing Labels
These name labels from minted are seriously perfect. See how I went label crazy.
I didn’t want him to lose everything so I knew I needed labels. When I was asked to shop minted for labels I couldn’t believe what I discovered. Permanent, waterproof, clothing labels in sticker form. You just have to peel and stick it to just about anything. From clothing, to sports gear, water bottles, lunch bags, backpacks, and all, even underwear.
When my labels arrived I did go crazy. I got labels for each kid, for their sports stuff, belongings, school supplies for the Fall and more, in a beautiful array of different colors and patterns.
I know, aren’t they perfect and yes, I have fully tested them out. A few items have already been in the washing machine numerous times and are picture perfect. All the labels I had placed on his camping gear never got loose or peeled off.
Oh, and for the record, he came home with 100% of everything! No lost and found checks for us.
