One way to help me keep organized is to label things. I love to label. This way, when I do re-organize, my family can at least try to keep up with me and know where things belong!
Having print around the house also helps my children to be surrounded by letters and words which is crucial in their literacy developement!
This month, the DYMO Label Manager 160 has helped me to organize my daughter's room.
We labelled all of the MANY containers of writing utensils on her table.
The labeller was super easy to use and I love how natural the keyboard feels! This label maker is slim in design, making it simple to hold and type "texting style" with your two thumbs. The cartridges are very easy to install and it didn't take me very long at all to figure out how to create and print labels.
DYMO LabelManager 160 Features:
- Type text easily on the computer-style keyboard with country-specific layout
- Format fast with one-touch Smart Keys for text size, bold, italic, underline/box and vertical text
- See what your label will look like before you print – preview in the large LCD display
- Choose from 6 font sizes, 8 text styles, 4 boxes plus underline
- Add professional impact and clarity to your labels with 228 symbols and clip art images; use quick-access key to enter punctuation
- Powered by 6 AAA alkaline batteries (not included) or optional AC adapter

I am not a very good organizer. I have a good memory so I usually know where things are but nobody else would have any clue where to find anything. A labeller would be a big help!
ReplyDeleteLots of shelves :)

June 24- I try to keep things picked up and put away in most of my home. I do have an all-purpose room that I allow to be somewhat disorganized. This room is my office, sewing room, yarn room, ironing room and library. I do try to keep it somewhat tidy. -el03ro
