Getting Organized in the New Year with Stuck On You + #Giveaway

Disclosure: I received the following for review from Stuck on You. All opinions are my own.

A new year means it's time to get organized! I think in another life I would have loved to be a personal stylist/organizer because I love everything in its place. Now that the kids are getting older, being organized is a must due to all of their belongings. Stuck On You has just the right tools to help and make organization fun.

The Junior Backpack is a major hit with both kids. The truck design personalized with Mason's name and the apple design with Kenzie's name is a bonus to a fantastic bag. The backpack itself is a nice size for toddlers/preschoolers (W25cm x H27cm x D11.5cm). The main zippered compartment is generously sized to fit many toys and art supplies. The insulated zippered compartment on the bottom is ready to fill with snacks and drinks while on the go. The mesh side pocket is nice to fit a sippy/sport cup to keep hydrated. My kids carry these backpacks everywhere. They are loaded up everyday and go to school, grandma's house, restaurants, in the car, church and more. I love that the I don't have to carry a jumble of toys and clutter up the car - everything stays organized and readily accessible by the kids on the road.

The Write On Labels are essential to organization. If you are out and about at a party or at a friend's house, you can whip out these labels and write your child's name on it and slap it onto their drink cup so as not to get it mixed up. They are also great for when you forgot to label your child's toy/clothing when on a trip or for school, just keep a set in the car and you are good to go! Each Write on Label pack includes 30 labels and the approximate size is 58 x 16mm. The labels are microwave, waterproof and dishwasher safe and text can be added with a standard pen or permanent marker. These are also nice for organizing your pantry into a Martha Stewart like manner - I'm definitely working on this.

A fun way to get kids motivated about organization is with the Rewards Chart. These can be used for pretty much anything i.e. potty training, chores, good deeds, etc. Each pack comes with 3 charts and a load of stickers. The charts have a magnet on the back so you can easily place on your refrigerator at your child's eye level. Kenzie and Mason have a ton of toys. Even though we donate quite often, since Hubs (and grandma) spoils the kids with toys every week, you can imagine what their playroom looks like. I am always picking up after them since I dislike clutter but if you have young kids, you know that those toys just come right back out of their bins/areas. So what better motivation to keep their area organized than with stickers on their rewards chart for yet another prize when they reach the end - 10! Kenzie has even suckered me into giving her a sticker for eating all her food...oy oy.
