When Labels Matter

I can say with conviction that a lot has definitely changed since I had kids. Now, nearly everything I do revolves around them. For instance, earlier this morning, I found myself looking at self adhesive labels UK from www.nameitlabels.co.uk, not for myself, but for my kids.

I am seriously considering getting them those I.C.E. or “in case of emergency” cards to attach to their school bags. It’ll have their names and contact info of persons to contact in the event of an emergency (God forbid!). You can even add any information about allergies on the card. That will give a somewhat paranoid mom like me a sense of security when they’re away.

I like that it’s tamper-proof and comes in sturdy and rigid plastic. Cable ties are used to attach them to wherever necessary. They come in different colors, so I’m sure even the kids will like it.

More than that, I also found personalized sew-in labels to sew on my kids’ shirts. I always worry about them getting their shirts mixed up with those of their teammates whenever they have badminton or volleyball practice, so the labels will really come in handy.

So it seems… labels are important to me.

Conflict between siblings

The atmosphere in your own home today depends on how different personalities and way of thinking of each one connects to one another. You can say it’s difficult to achieve a peaceful household when you have to deal with teen kids who have a mind of their own. No amount of shouting or heated argument can resolve conflicts between siblings or kids to their parents. As a mom whose busy reading firminite reviews from time to time can only do so much to keep the bickering kids quiet. One has to stay in the room to do her stuff and the other one stay in the sala to warch TV or play computer games. If you’re a mom like me, how do you deal with conflicts between siblings?

Stroller

Husband reminded me the other day to dispose of the baby stroller that was left hanging here at home for 14 years now. I cannot just dispose it for sentimental reason besides it has missing parts (the seat part, I think) which renders it unserviceable. If someone would look for new strollers, I can easily refer them to check out different styles and sizes of strollers at JustStrollers.com.
