You Forgot Something

My son and I dashed out of town for a quick overnight at the Flanagan family lake house “Innisfree” for President’s Day. Cooper was thrilled to see his cousins and I would have some coveted down time with my sister. The house is filled with toys from several families and different generations; for many it is a wonderful home away from home. While packing I had managed to sneak Cooper’s keyboard into the car, I was avoiding the sounds of his favorite drumbeat, duck quacking, and keyboard pouncing tunes during the two hour drive.


In the morning, after my usual cups of coffee and my son treating himself to one minor tumble down the basement stairs (a game of hide-and-seek), a hurried good-bye came too quickly. It was tough getting my little guy in the car, he loves his big cousins. I had driven to the main road when my phone rang and I heard, “You forgot something.” I quickly asked what it was, I was willing to leave a sippy cup or sock behind. I heard the news…it was a toy worthy of turning around for…the keyboard. As we pulled into the driveway my niece ran out with the toy and handed it to my son, he was thrilled and immediately pushed the on button. I turned the car around and smiled, happy that I had put a label on it but wondering how much patience I would have. Fifteen minutes later my smile came back, the noise stopped and Cooper was asleep.

Avoid Trouble When You Bubble

What do you do when your children lose things?

It is very tempting to automatically replace their favorite ball or truck when they are young, but as they grow so do the price tags on their personal items. It is difficult to stand firm and have children replace items. As parents, we hope they will learn the value of their belongings and the financial consequences of losing them.


Yet we also remember what it was like to be young and children have more distractions than ever. Because of these reasons, and that their toys and tools are expensive, it is crucial to label everything. For big ticket items, I love our square bubbles. In addition to the name, there are three lines of personal information for your e-mail, phone numbers, or address. Our square labels can be found in several of our label packs, including school labels, camp labels, and sports labels.

A Big Thank You To "An Island Life" For Your Review

We've provided some of the "An Island Life" review below, the entire review can be found through the link at the bottom of the post.

The first thing I noticed were the adorable labels themselves. Mine were brightly colored with ladybugs on them. There were a few easy instructions, the most important ones being to take care that there are no air bubbles under the labels and to wait 24 hours before running items in the dishwasher or laundry. Easy enough. I decided to place one label on a sippy cup and one label on my daughter’s winter coat. I waited 24 hours and then washed both.

My Results: I now see why Name Bubbles won an iParenting Media Award. Both labels adhered perfectly to the items through the dishwashing and the laundry. I’m impressed….especially with the laundry safe labels. They are just so practical. If your child is in a daycare, church nursery, playcenter at McDonald’s (the shoe area), or school and sports activities, you know just how easy it is to lose something. Here’s a simple way to help prevent that.

Health: I was really excited to see Medical Alert Labels as part of the products you can purchase. How nice for parents to be able to attach these to backpacks, lunch boxes and even documents when their child has a special condition that might require immediate attention.

For adults too: I forget to tell Name Bubbles that I wanted my daughter’s name on the labels, so all the labels came with my name on them. That’s okay, I still put my stickers on her items. So, I started to think of all the ways that I could use them too. The first thing I did was immediately put them on my craft scissors. Sometimes when you are scrapping with friends or at a crop, it’s easy to grab others’ items. The Mini-Labels fit just perfect!
