Get Organized with Epson LabelWorks

Posted on September 27, 2015 by Krissyar

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Epson. Though I was compensated with product for my time, all opinions are my own.

This school year my kids are spread out all over town at 3 different schools. Our mornings went from difficult to very difficult. With after school activities all over town, bus schedules that look like NYC, this Mom is more than a bit overwhelmed. So one of my goals this year is to get organized to keep myself from, well losing it.

One of the biggest frustrations that we’ve been facing each night before bed is the kids fighting over chargers for their phones or laptops. No matter how many times I ask them to keep their chargers in certain spots, they never are there when they need it!

I can’t tell you how many times they can only find one phone charger, one laptop charger, or my son can’t find my iPad charger. It’s more than frustrating, especially since I’m usually busy trying to get things prepared for the next day! “It’s mine!”, “NO, that one is mine.” and so on and so forth as you can imagine – it just adds to my stress!

So I was super excited when I received the Espon LabelWorks Cable & Wiring Kit.. We have cords and chargers absolutely everywhere. I actually have a ziplock bag of chargers that I have no idea what they belong to, but I’m afraid  to throw them away.. that is not a way to get organized. I knew labeling would be a good idea, but I wasn’t sure what was the best way, until I tried out the LabelWorks Cable & Wiring Kit.

Customized, printed labels help you identify computer, printer and router cables behind your desk. And, hooking up your entertainment center after maintenance is a breeze with clearly labeled AC adapters, DVR cables and TV wires. Easily organize all your electronic devices, including phone cables and light switches. For asset tagging, create and print bar codes, from 39 to 128 and six other types. With easy-peel backs, labeling and organizing is quick and saves you time and guesswork later. Plus, Epson’s durable flag and wrap style labels last a long time and suit every electronic organizational need.

I was able to label the kids phone chargers, laptops, the iPads, the Xbox cords, Kindle cords, GPS charger, camera cords, etc you name it, it is now officially labeled! I individually labeled the kids chargers so they no longer can fight over whose is whose, and I no longer have to dig through that Ziplock bag  trying to find what I need. It saves a ton of time – and even better, a ton of headache!

Baby Belly Problems Relieved with Enfamil® Reguline™

I received product and compensation from Mead Johnson Nutrition to create this post written by me. All experiences and opinions expressed in this post are my own and not those of Mead Johnson Nutrition. Consult your pediatrician before making changes to your baby’s diet or if you have concerns related to your baby’s digestive health. Please see the product label/website for acceptable use and benefits. You can contact Mead Johnson Nutrition with product related questions or comments toll free at 1-800-BABY123 or through the Contact Us link on Reguline.com or Enfamil.com.

One of the hardest parts about being a new Mom is not being able to comfort your baby when they really need it. From colic to occasional constipation, we try everything we can to bring comfort to our babies. Things like prune juice, warm compresses and other options seem to provide temporary relief, but nothing seems to last. I remember using karo syrup for my daughter when she had trouble with constipation – I always felt bad because it would go from one extreme to another, and I never had anything to use to keep her regular.
I remember getting really frustrated and thinking I was doing something wrong- then I found out that over 70% of infants have some type of feeding issue. So I knew I wasn’t alone – but it wasn’t any less frustrating.

I found that the issues often happen because your baby’s digestive system is still developing, especially during the first 3 or 4 months. The best way to tell if there is more behind your babies issues is to watch how they act right after you feed them – notice if he gets upset when you try to feed him, even though you know he’s hungry, there is something more going on.
Some behaviors of digestive issues are fussiness and gas, spit-ups, and stool issues. If you run into these issues, ask your pediatrician about options to help soothe and get their digestive system back on track. Most of the time your doctor will recommend an alternative formula that is designed to ease common feeding issues while still providing good nutrition your baby needs for development.

Enfamil Reguline is an infant formula that has a blend of two prebiotics clinically proven in Enfamil Infant formula to promote soft stools. Enfamil Reguline is designed to promote comfortable stool. It also has easy-to-digest proteins. It’s designed to help support digestive health. Prebiotics help feed the good bacteria in the digestive tract. Prebiotics are a type of carbohydrate that is also found in breast milk. Enfamil Reguline also has brain-nourishing DHA and choline for complete everyday nutrition.

I love that this is an everyday formula that I can use all the time. Not only is Reguline designed to help support their digestive health, but it also gives them the complete nutrition they need for growth and development.
