Organizing Nerds

I attended an awesome presentation last night with NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers).  Vendors from companies that sell organizing products came to visit us and unveil some of their new products.  

My fave was the representative from Post-It... and it was pretty hysterical as he brought out each new tab, label, bright sticky pad, and pen because the whole group was oohing and aahhing in delight!  We were laughing together at being such organizing nerds.  

I mean, who freaks out about post-its?!  

Check these out:

This cool envelope also has a mini pocket for a business card.

This clear tab is great for marking a spot in a book- 

You can write a note on it and still see the words underneath.  Pretty nifty!

A pen, a highlighter, and sticky tabs?!  Shut the front door!!

Back to School

It's that time again... school is back in session.  

I love seeing the kids with their adorable backpacks running up to their friends and hugging them as if it has been years since they have seen each other.  They always look so excited.

But it's very clear that the parents have a look of worry and exhaustion on their faces.  

Getting those kids ready and out the door in the morning can be pretty chaotic! 

My sweet cousin is getting ready to take her little one to her first day of Pre School, and after meeting with the teachers to get some instructions the stress has already set in!  There is so much to do to get these little ones ready.  

One thing on her To-Do list is to label everything she brings to class. So, after some research she found these wonderful labels that can be attached to almost anything: clothes, water bottles, crayons, etc.  

Some can be ironed on but most can be applied just like a sticker. 

Check them out at Applied Labels and get at least one thing crossed off your list.

Put a label on it

Garment Bags with adorable tags showing the clothing inside

Luggage Tags for laundry bags

 

 

Bins in my hall closet with tiny hanging tags

 

 

Who knew that labeling could be more than just a boring piece of tape?!  Do you have any fun ways that you label your things?
