If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen me talk about my mission to find a sponsorship to attend Blog Her ’09 in Chicago this summer. Well the wonderful ladies at Mom Dot and the very cool guys at Label Daddy have partnered to provide one lucky mom with a FULL sponsorship – travel, hotel, registration – to Blog Her this year. How cool for a company with Daddy in their name to support Mom bloggers! But then again, Moms are probably their biggest customer.
Now I’m not going to be a total phony and tell you that I’m a dedicated Label Daddy user because I haven’t got around to buying any yet. But I think they are VERY cool, very useful and just flat out CUTE. Even though I don’t own any yet, I did sign up for their affiliate program last year because I knew I’d end up buying from them eventually. And those of y’all that know me have probably heard me say that I don’t promote products as an affiliate unless its from someone I trust or its a product I would or have used myself.
I wanted to be all funny and creative with my post and tell you how I’ve been using my Label Daddy labels but since I don’t have any (yet!), let me tell you how I would! (This will give me some practice so I can work on my “elevator speech” when I’m actually IN Chicago AT Blog Her representing Label Daddy!)
*ahem*
You know how you go to pick your child up when school gets out and you’re sitting there waiting for your little one to come out? (I swear, my child is always one of the last ones out! I think my little social butterfly stops to chat to anyone and everyone on the way out.) Well have you ever noticed how much these kids can all look alike when they’re all bundled up, lugging around backpacks as big as they are?? I can’t even count how many pink coats and Hannah Montana backpacks I’ve seen! And if your son has a black coat and a Spiderman backpack, good luck picking him out of the crowd!
I’ve even had to send my daughter back to school the next day with someone else’s hat or gloves in her backpack because she brought home the wrong ones. Poor kid, she has like 3 different sets because I’m the type that always buys extras in case she loses one. And there are always the hats or hoodies that never make it home.
Well here’s what you need to do. Put away those ugly black permanent markers and get some personalized clothing labels from Label Daddy. Stick ‘em on coats, backpacks, sweaters and jackets.
Then get another set for their sports gear. When every single kid on your son’s Little League team buys the same bag, if they were all using the full color photo stickers from Label Daddy label no one wouldend up chasing down the wrong kid in the parking lot to switch bags or calling the coach at home to figure out which one of the three kids named “Ryan” left his hat in the dugout.
They’re also perfect for daycare and playdates. Stick one to your toddler’s sippy cup when you meet the other Moms at the playground. Hide one on the inside of the baby doll’s dress in case she absolutely refuses to leave Baby at home.
Seriously, who can keep track of all of this STUFF kids have? I’m a single mom with three kids who all seem to have been born in the Bermuda Triangle because stuff always just disappears. Even if they just had their hands on it half an hour earlier, they will give me a blank stare when I ask them where it is. So if they can’t even hang on to something before it even leaves the house, can you imagine how much they’d lose if I let them take any of it with them somewhere?? Oy!
Anyway…LabelDaddy, I would love to represent you this year at Blog Her. I’ll even stick your labels on my OWN stuff – coat, purse, cell phone, laptop – when I go. After all, can you imagine how much my kids would tease me if I came home from BlogHer with the wrong suitcase? Oh it would never end!
