We have a 6 year old son who has been raised on technology. He knows how to use my iPhone, iPad, my wife’s blackberry, tivo, etc. You name it, he knows how to work it – and actively seeks it out. When you combine his love of technology with his desire to help out around the house, well the PTouch label maker is the perfect device. Not only is it entertaining enough for our son to use, but it’s also incredible practical and helpful.
The other day, we began our garage clean out. Instead of moving boxes and stopping to complete a label, I told my son the labels to make as I was moving everything around. This not only saved time, but was a nice bonding moment for me and my son. Not only did it give us and activity to do together, but he saw that I was using the labels he made himself.
As I continue to execute my new year’s resolution to get organized this year, one room at a time, I imagine my son will help every step of the way!
I have the benefit of being a P-Touch ambassador. I will be using the P-Touch Label Maker all year long as I organize my house and life! Stay tuned!

P Touch Label Maker Makes Life Easy and Organized
There is nothing as exciting as Christmas Day. Happy kids, time with family and lots of food. However at some point the clean up happens and it was at that point I realized how disorganized I was - piles of unopened mail sitting in the kitchen, old kids clothes to be saved for younger siblings in piles in the closet, and boxes of holiday decorations in unlabeled boxes. Yes, my New Year's resolution is to get organized. Enter the Brother P-Touch Label Maker. Yes, they actually heard my plea and made me an ambassador, but more importantly, they are here to help get me organized!
I started with the Christmas Decorations. We immediately labeled each of our holiday decorations boxes with the exact content contained within each - ornaments here, wreaths there, etc. It was easy to decipher our Christmas boxes from other holiday items.
But why stop there? The next project involved my kids. In addition to boxing and labeling their hand-me-down clothes, I noticed the pen markings on their school supplies were wearing off. I set the label with my son's name and within seconds, printed out 5 labels - one for his folder, one small enough to fit a glue stick, one for an eraser, one for his markers and one for his crayons. Now there wont be even the slightest chance that his supplies will get mixed up with someone else's.
If you are trying to get organized for whatever reason, the Brother P-Touch Label Maker is for you. Tune in over the next month or so as I put the product to work to help reach organize my family! If you,too, want to get organized or find fun projects for your family, log on to their Facebook page for ideas.
