Living in a small apartment has made me look for tons of different ways to organize everything. From my pantry to all of the boys things, it is a never ending process. I will be so happy to move into my new house!

A great way I found to organize things is through the simple process of labeling. The DYMO Label Manager 260p was a great way for me to continue on but with a much neater look to my things. I fell in love with the settings on this label maker. It has 3 fonts, 6 sizes, 7 text styles, boxes AND underlining. You can print a 1/4”, 3/8” or 1/2” label as well. You can print up to 10 copies of the same label as well as store up to 9 for later use.  It also includes separate set of keys for numbers, allowing for faster typing and features quick access buttons for punctuation and symbols. It is  sleek, compact and lightweight design, allowing for fast, uninterrupted labeling whether in the office or on-the-go.

From the site: “Powered by a lithium-ion battery – the same technology used to power cell phones and laptop computers – the DYMO® LabelManager® 260P label maker eliminates the inconvenience of AA batteries. Charge and go unlike an AC adapter, labeling power whenever you need it. The label maker’s sleek new design is perfect for any office or workspace. Plus it’s packed with new features – inspired by our consumers– that help you get the results you want with more ease and convenience. See what your labels will look like before you print them on a new, large 1.18” x 2.36” screen that displays two lines of text. Work faster with an improved user interface that displays all menu commands without scrolling, and includes easy-to-read icons for formatting options. Choose from 3 fonts and 6 text styles; highlight your text with 8 box styles or underlining. Print up to nine copies of the same label, and prevent repeated work with a 9-label memory and “save text” feature. LabelManager 260P uses DYMO D1 labels in 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ widths. Enter text quickly and naturally with the familiar ABC keyboard layout, and use special function keys for fast access to punctuation marks, currency and other special symbols.”

Post-it is a 3M brand. 3M is fundamentally a science-based company. They produce thousands of imaginative products, and they’re a leader in scores of markets – from health care and highway safety to office products and abrasives and adhesives. Their success begins with their ability to apply their technologies – often in combination – to an endless array of real-world customer needs. Of course, all of this is made possible by the people of 3M and their singular commitment to make life easier and better for people around the world.

I was watching TV yesterday when a new commercial came on for Post-It Removable Labels. I had actually never heard of them before but loved the idea! Then silly me remembered that I received a package of samples and these were in there! Instead of having the traditional adhesive strip like a Post-It note, these have an entire backing of adhesive so the entire label sticks! I loved this idea for the bins in the boys playroom. I will switch to a more traditional label in the future but for now these are working great! My friend Dawn is a complete Post-It addict and I call her when any of the office supply stores have them on a great deal!

The Tote Buddy is The World’s First Reusable Bag Organizer.  It neatly organizes reusable bags, keeping them nearby so that they’re handy for every shopping trip. It’s easy to use, carry, and store and slim enough to fit in your car door pocket.  The Tote Buddy is the perfect shopping companion!

I have so many grocery bags that I find it is a hassle to not only remember to being them but storing them is a really pain as well. I am guilty of forgetting my bags quite frequently so I did a little poll to see how many people actually own and use their reusable bags. Here is what I came up with!

It seems most people own them and use them more than they forget them! But, if you look at the results, the next highest is people forget them more than they use them! That is where this great item comes in! The Tote Buddy is a great way to remember your bags. If you watch the video above its obvious to see why this product is helpful. I drive a Jeep Commander and the Tote Buddy fits perfectly in the pocket of my door. When I first saw the video I thought for sure that it would be in my way when I was driving but it wasn’t. I was sent the black Tote Buddy to try out which worked out great because I don’t think that Royal would want to take their floral one to the store with him He prefers to fold the handles in and hold it like a binder and not look so girlie
