WordLock & Mabel’s Labels Keep Your Stuff Safe This School Year

September 14, 2010 By Leticia

Giveaway update: Congratulations to Shannon who will be able to keep her family’s belongings safe thanks to WordLock and Mabel’s Labels!

Let’s face it. Things get lost at school so it’s best to protect your investment with some high quality security devices- labels and locks!

Favorite Way to Claim Ownership of Clothing: Mabel’s Labels makes gorgeous and durable labels that you can affix to every article of clothing your child owns and might take a trip to school this year. I love the new Labels Out Loud line of full color labels that are bright, easy to read, and can also withstand the dishwasher and laundry. The teachers at Captain Computer’s preschool appreciate that I use the shoe labels so they can easily return his shoes to his cubby when he kicks them off!

Other great labels include the kid safety line that alerts caregivers of allergies and special needs. Mabel’s Labels can even help organize your home with specially designed household labels for crafts, cord control, curbside trash and recycling, spices, and bins. All labels are available for purchase individually or as combo packs. If you are ordering, order an extra pack for your child’s teacher as a much appreciated teacher gift or if you have a specific product need, let me know in the comments and I can personally email you a discount!

Favorite Method for Beginning Readers and Bike Riders to Keep Bikes Safe at School: WordLock personal and commercial locks use our natural ability to remember words in order to secure our belongings using word and letter combinations. Rather than having your child carry a key for their bike lock or padlock on their locker, kids can come up with a word and set their padlock without ever having to worry about a misplaced key. Simply genius!

4 year old Captain Computer loved learning how to ride a bike this summer and but was even more thrilled when he got to select a word made up of four letters to secure his ride. I won’t tell you which of the 10,000 letter combinations he chose, but he loves finding the letters on the dial to unlock his bike. We were also sent a rust-proof brass padlock that is perfect for outside use since it double locks for added security. WordLock also makes TSA approved luggage locks in a variety of colors.

Enter to win an Ultimate Back to School Combo ($39) courtesy of Mabel’s Labels or 1 of 2 sets of locks containing a WordLock bike lock ($12.99) and padlock ($9.99)! Thanks WordLock!

To enter to win the Mabel’s Label’s Ultimate Back to School Combo or WordLock prize pack, leave a comment about your child’s most prized possession that needs to be locked and labeled and which product would be perfect for securing their treasured belonging! Don’t forget to include your email address or Twitter handle so I can contact you when you win!

  • Tweet daily to win and comment with each Tweet: @TechSavvyMama uses WordLock & @MabelHood labels 2 secure her belongings. Enter her #giveaway 2 keep your stuff safe: http://bit.ly/a4Uu8r

    I love the skinny minny labels – they are perfect to fit on tags and all the lunch containers!
    I have to label my 3 year old’s “meeky” (her little 1×1′ blanket she has to bring everywhere- she called it MEEKY when she couldnt say blankie- and now it is still just MEEKY)
    seriously, we almost had to cancel a vacation when the nanny let her take it to the park and forgot to bring it home.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
