Our Name Bubbles Save of the Week

I will admit that we've gone through a number of the pocket size Lightning McQueen cars. They stay in my son's hand when we are at home or out running errands and it's always a mad dash to find the one with the smile (without the tar mark or tongue sticking out). I didn't realize that the same car has 5 different styles and he is sold on the one look.

Our first tragedy occurred at Ruby Tuesday's and I was certain dinner would end in a meltdown -McQueen took a wrong turn and I couldn't fit my hand down between the booth and the wall to rescue him. The second was between the ski lodge and the car. Finally, on our third McQueen we pulled a recovery - Yay!

I am very excited about this... It had been a couple of days when I realized that my son had it with him in the car-cart at the grocery store. Running back to the car with a cart full of bags and the snow coming down, I forgot to check the front of the cart for the toy. It had been two days (a lifetime for my son) so I checked customer service when I went in to do my shopping. The woman immediately said, "Yes I do!" and pulled out a box. Voila, there was Lightning McQueen ready to go home for some more adventures with a very happy Cooper. A big "Thank You" to the parent who turned the toy into customer service. :)

Staying Warm with Name Bubbles

Our little one has a serious case of "Train-on-the-Brain", it's all consuming. He talks about the pistons and how they push the driving rodes, which push the wheels - I am not kidding, I have to look at the books he carries around to make sure I know what he is talking about.

That being said, we decided to surprise him with a Santa Train ride last weekend. Even though the cars were heated it was cold, really cold. Looking through my pictures I noticed that my son's Name Bubbles for both his glove and his hat made it in the photo. With his gloves I do label on the outside, they are too easy to lose and I don't want to take a chance of cold fingers where we live. The laundry safe Bitty Bubble is on the hat just under his chin and I have one on the care tag on the inside of the hat. I have had a glove returned a time or two and I am always so thankful, not only does it save money but there are times in the winter season when it's hard to find gloves that fit. Winter gear doesn't stay on the shelves until the snow melts. Remember to Bubble Up and stay warm this winter. Have a Happy Holiday!

The Bubbling Way

We went sledding in the woods behind our house today and I took a fantastic video. Well kind of...I had the camera in the portrait position so you would need to lay on your side to watch it - but I do have a photo to show you my son's bubble.

Santa has a couple of Zipfy luges to put under our tree this year, only one color is offered in our area stores. Before we hit the sledding and tubing park I will be bubbling on all sides - they are a blast. If you haven't tried them, please do. Sneak out on your own if you have to, parents should get a little snow time too.

Remind your kids that labels help keep their fun toys coming home and they need to remember to bubble up before they fly out the door.

Keep Expensive Winter Sports Equipment and Clothing From Going Missing

I love this label pack - the Name Bubbles sports labels offer a great variety at a great price. As with all our label packs, we provide waterproof labels for shoes, clothing, and for items that go through the dishwasher or are exposed to the elements.

Our sports labels include the square bubble, which provides 3 additional lines of contact information for your big ticket items. Ski classes and mountain daycare start soon, I want to make sure my son's gloves, goggles, and skis don't accidentally get pack in the wrong bag.

If they do go home with another family or get left behind, our chances of getting our items back are much greater with a phone number or e-mail.
