My Middle Name is Label

July 17, 2012 By Shannah 11 Comments

Well, technically, it is Marie but it probably should be label!

I’ve been on a MAJOR organization kick in the house recently. Maybe it was the new label tape for my label maker coming the mail…

My latest victim…our snack pantry. We started using this section of the pantry primarily for snacks because it was easy for the kids to access on their own. Of course, sometimes that doesn’t go as planned and little hands end up spilling all of the cheerios on the floor. 

Even though neither of our littles read yet, I always felt the need to label all the containers in there. Thanks Martha for pushing me over the edge with your too cute label products 

I ordered a bunch from Staples (they are an exclusive product to Staples) and waited anxiously for them to arrive. Then, I got down to my OCD business. 

It was a simple project. Put the labels on the front of the containers. Then, use my best friend label maker to create the little labels for the big labels. 


Got that? 


I had one that wouldn’t work with that plan. So, I grabbed a little chalkboard label I had bought from Pick Your Plum and wrote it on there. 

Check it out all done



Awesome right? Now my eye doesn’t twitch every time I look in there.
