Though now they have been catching the bus to school and home again 3-4 days a week - it's out the door by 7.50am . Some days things are hectic and stuff is getting lost or left behind at school..... now mum isn't there to pick the bits and pieces in the afternoon.
I noticed a dozen of the kids , just in our class (80 kinders in total ) , have the similar food containers - not to mention seeing a sea of identical,
Over the years I used a few different labeling methods ...even the big black permanent maker didn't work on the school bomber jacket for my oldest son - he still misplaced it . The iron on labels just fell off or were taken off !
The twins needed name labels for daycare and I've tried a few different kinds ... the little rascals loved peeling them off or using them on artwork at home. They also use them on toys, their Leapsters and anything if I leave them in reach
...this won't always work !
we really put their names on the other boot too ! |
My big mistake is now I don't know which kid has left their school jacket or lunchbox or whatever behind .They each claim the item at home is theirs. Cue for many tears and tantrums ..I'm talking about me now.
I've lost count of the
Sam and Joel are the same clothing size , with 1/2 size difference in Clark school shoes too. As they get older I know identifying their own personal items will be more important ...who wants to wear their brother's undies.
'Stuck on you' comes highly recommended - I've seen a few reviews recently.
The timing was perfect when I was invited to try their products and chose a design for each drummer boy.
The boys loved helping me chose, personalising their own design and colours .The website is so easy to navigate and 'KID' user friendly. It would have taken me less time if I didn't let HELP ...just saying !
We chose the Out and About pack because they wanted the personalised drink bottles and we needed spares too.
The products are excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone - you can never have enough labels - just ask my boys.
The lovely people at Stuck on you even popped in an extra surprise for the boys. They were thrilled and couldn't wait to take them to school for news.
How she knew their favourite 'quiet' activity is drawing and colouring in- I don't know. My boys even carry little notebooks and textas to draw with other kids on the bus ...but you know I mean in the notebooks ! The notebooks and pencil cases, pencils and textas included made their eyes pop.
Lucky for me the Artist series activity pack keeps them busy while I'm cooking dinner and then it packs up nicely inside the pencil case ! Seeing them colour-in quietly makes my heart sing !!
Stuck on you's range has expanded incredibly over the years if you haven't checked their website lately- go do it now ...I'll wait.
They don't just have labels - have personalized clothes , wooden name puzzles , sports bags, and home essentials and much more.
I missed seeing the kitchen labels for me ! |
When you have finished browsing come back and tell me which pack you would like to purchase because I'm giving away your choice to win of any of the value packs to $49.95- someone to suit everyone ! Two winners !! will be chosen.
The boys spied the wheelie bags and lunch coolers too. As we definitely have enough toys - I'll be sending our family to the website to chose the twins' birthday gifts , they have bookmarked a wishlist.
Tell me your greatest {funny or not} child or item or toy moment or why you should win one of these awesome prize packs ? ...did you leave someone important behind ! Also tell me what pack you'll like to win.

Waiting for that lift to return was the longest wait of my life. I didn't know if my son would still be in there when then lift came, and if he wasn't where to start looking as the first floor led out to the local train station! Panic! Relief came when the doors opened and my (now rather somber) son was standing there holding the hand of a lady with an "Optus World" badge. He had made it down to the first floor (horror!) and had apparently (according to the lady) looked very confused when the doors opened and mummy wasn't there. He had seemed unsure whether to hop out of the lifts, so she got in and went floor by floor (I was on the 5th) helping him look for me. I have never been so relieved in my life! Fortunately, it gave both of us such a scare that he *never* goes near a lift without an adult (he's 6 now) and he still talks about the time he got lost in the lift.

Although I have three daughters of my own who would love this, I would give it to my beautiful niece Kiara.
She is almost two, and has an immense love of art. She 'draws' on everything, and even takes a pencil case and notebook when she goes visiting. She can literally spend hours 'drawing.' It may just be a phase, who knows, but if not, and this is something she will continue to enjoy as she grows, I would love to encourage her, and her love of all things arty. Who knows, she may be the next Van Gogh!!

So, I was so upset to have spent money on all new things and this happen in the first term, so I sat down and hand wrote 19 identical notes to all the parents asking to check their son/daughter's jacket - my hand hurt at the end of it and no jacket!!!
So if I had to pick a pack it would definately have iron-on labels in it - won't be making that mistake again!!!!

Tonight he was on the longe room floor playing cars and I asked him to come and clean his teeth. He moans "I'm just not in the mood for this kind of business". Huh? And who taught you that?
I love the designer collection name labels - such cute designs.

I had a Patty O'Green doll (one of Rainbow Brights friends) and I loved her. Anyway, my dad threw it out in his 'wisdom' when I was 16 and when I discovered her missing I flipped out. It wasn't that I slept or played with her anymore, I was just attached and I wanted to keep her for my kids. I am 27 and it still makes me sad. :( I know, pathetic.
My kids names are Polynesian so you have to buy custom personalised stuff, like what Stuck On You does, and winning this would mean their dad won't throw out their favourite things.
As for which pack - bag and tag - my daughter has broken 2 bags and 2nd term isn't even over. She's only in preschool!
