HAPPY BIRTHDAY MABEL: Can you believe it was 5 years ago that we made our first order of labels? We had a hunch that you would love our labels and we were right.

If I loose another sippy cup again, I might have to consider handcuffing it to my diaper bag. I don’t get it. I think somewhere deep in Thornhill are about two dozen of my son’s sippy cups lying around waiting for us to come find them. I leave them everywhere. Playgroups, music classes, gymnasiums, friend’s houses. You name it – they are there. If only I had a way of labelling them.Enter Mabel’s Labels.Someone suggested, after many breakdowns about my sippy cup dilemma, that I order some labels on line. Great, it’s going to be a whole process – I’m not one for complicated things. I like to get what I want easily. But I figure I don’t have an option in this matter. When I log on the site www.mabel.ca I am immediately fascinated with the ease, speed and functionality of their website. It’s very mom-friendly and the choices they have are endless. Cute colours, fonts, images and the variety of labels they offer make you want to re-organize and label your entire house from top to bottom. But, for now I need to focus.

I order the Sticky Labels and Tag Mates in a cute blue font with a car beside his name. The price is astonishing. For only $18.50 you get a pack of 45 classic stickies! And before I know it, the labels arrive at my house in record time with instructions that are as easy as 1-2-3. I open my sippy cup drawer and spend a good hour labelling every cup, plate, bottle and snack dish I can find. I read that they are able to go through the dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer and stick to about anything. They really do. My dog wasn’t thrilled with her new label but come on, I had to test it out. I was due for a dishwasher cycle so I put about a dozen sippy cups and plates through the dishwasher to test them out. When all was said and done, the labels were sticking with as much force and might as when I originally adhered them to the surfaces. Even after going through the microwave, there weren’t any bubbles and the edges weren’t peeling.

They work and they work well! After writing this blog, I am heading back to their website to order more labels for the house. They certainly have made my life much easier. I am happy to report that since my purchase from Mabel Labels Inc, I have not lost a sippy cup. “Tyler Boltman” we have a sippy cup of yours at the slide. It’s music to a mother’s ears. Order your labels today at www.mabel.ca - for yourself or as a gift. -written by Lisa Boltman
