A passion and skill for ironing is not something I inherited from my mom (who used to press sheets and my father’s boxers), nor do I have legible penmanship. I’ve thus found the chore of labeling Laurel’s clothes and shoes for school onerous; that is, until I discovered Mabel’s Labels. Makers of labels for anything in your home that requires identity or organization, their adhesive Tag Mates and Shoe Labels are my new best friends. Just specify your text, icon, and color, and these labels – which stand up beautifully through the wash – will save you the hassle of ironing or sewing on labels, and the expense of replacing lost, unlabeled clothing.
