I'm baa-ack. Sorry for the self-induced one year hiatus… apparently having two kids is a lot of work (thanks, everyone, for the suggestion that having your kids two years apart is a good idea). But now that school is back in session I suppose I should start doing my homework and pass along all of the amazing parenting and culinary and beauty tidbits I have accumulated over the past year. And since everyone is still working through the back-to-school transition, let me start by sharing the best adhesive and iron on labels I've used: Tinyme. Not only are these labels crazy cute, they actually stick. I stuck these on my daughter's lunch containers over a year ago and they are still there. Even after countless times through the dishwasher. The bag tags, shoe labels and iron-on labels are fantastic as well.
For water bottles, try the Orbit labels from Austin-based company Inchbug. The dishwasher safe stretchy band works on numerous bottle types and there's no risk of it falling off or of the name rubbing off.
Label away!
