About Mabel’s Labels:
In 2003, four busy moms noticed a huge gap in the market for durable kids’ labels. Frustrated by their children’s things getting lost, mixed up and leaving home never to return, Julie Cole, Julie Ellis, Cynthia Esp and Tricia Mumby knew they could do better than the scribbles on masking tape that were being passed off as labels. After much research, they brought a brand new product to market. Enter Mabel – the very best personalized waterproof name labels and tags. Mabel’s Labels started humbly out of a basement and has grown to be an award-winning, market-leading company loved by Moms and kids alike.


Today, Mabel’s Labels is the best-known brand of durable labels for families, and our growing line of products features baby labels, child safety products, sports labels, household organizational labels and seasonal items. They’re extremely durable, they’re laundry, dishwasher and microwave safe – and they’re 100% guaranteed.

Charles recently posted the below comment on Facebook related to an article about children who don’t look like they have special needs.  As a special needs parent and ALC team member, Charles comes across this issue in our community daily. 

Charles’ comment:

“When I first started pushing Charlie in the Peachtree Road Race and Publix half marathon I was using a jogger and I got a lot of evil looks. People thought I was just pushing my kid because he was so small and it was a jogger. The next year I switched to his wheelchair so no one would question why I was pushing him. It was now obvious. I often think of the parents that have kids that are very high functioning but still have special needs you cant see or notice immediately. It can be very tiring, embarrassing and lonely.”
