Ever since the kids headed back to school, we have been invited to several birthday parties, eight to be exact. Keep in mind this is only October and there are eight more months until the school year is over. That means at least another twenty-five more parties to attend.  What is it about birthdays and turning four years old that makes every parent want to throw their kids birthday parties? Looking back at my childhood, I didn’t get a birthday party until I was at least ten years old, and if I remember correctly it was the only one my parents ever threw for me. My, how things have changed in the past thirty years.

Usually, a couple days before the party, I take the girls with me to either Target or Walmart to help me pick out a small gift for their friend. At this age, choosing a gift is done fairly quickly, thank heavens! Most all the girls in their class are into Barbie, My Little Pony, Princesses and anything glittery.  The boys on the other hand, love anything that resembles Legos, Spaceships, Thomas The Train, Batman or Spiderman. In addition to purchasing a small gift, I always like to include a set of personalized name labels to compliment the toy. The personalized name labels is a nice added bonus for the birthday boy or girl to label their new toy among other belongings that they don’t want to lose. Parents love this idea because it’s practical, economical, reusable and something their child will never outgrow ever!

So for that next Birthday Party, why not order a set of I.D Me Personalized Name Labels. They’re colorful, waterproof, and practical! Click on the following link to order your labels today: Name Labels

Over the weekend I took my kids to Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. It was the first time that I’ve taken the girls, and boy oh boy did the kids really enjoy it. There are many water-themed rides as well as regular kiddie rides to entertain your entire family. And if that’s not enough to keep you busy, the folks at Sesame Place also conduct many shows throughout the day featuring different characters such as Elmo, and Abby Cadabby. If you are not side-tracked from all the activities this park has in store, a street parade is held twice a day. This is a great opportunity for your kids to see all their favorite Sesame Street characters in one place. I highly suggest you check out this amazing park if you haven’t already done so. Their hours of operation are listed below. Hope you make it there!

Here’s what Xenia over at “Thanks Mail Carrier” had to say about I.D. Me popular line of Summer Camp Labels. Thanks Xenia for your kind words.

With only a few weeks of school let and a rapidly-filling schedule, Big Sister E is already turning into one of those kids who is going to be jetting all over town to one activity after another all summer.

And she is thrilled about it!

Yes, she wants to do tee ball and yes, she wants to do swimming and yes, she wants to attend her preschool’s summer camp… the list just seems to keep growing and growing.

So what does that mean for me? As well as having to keep track of where and when she needs to be somewhere, I’m going to need to stay well-organized so that she shows up with her glove to tee ball and not to Art in the Park. Because as much as I’m sure she could turn said glove into an art project… it’s probably not the best idea.

For me, one of the best ways to keep away the stress and anxiety of not only packing but of my obsession with not losing things, is to have each and every item well-labeled. I want her name on every single thing so that the chances of swim goggles, a hat or even a dirty sock getting returned to its rightful place are increased tremendously.

That’s where I.D. Me Labels steps in and takes over, making the entire process quick, easy, and fun.

Created in part due to the fact that millions of personal effects (clothes, electronics, camping equipment, etc) wind up in lost-and-founds nationally, I.D. Me Labels fills the necessity that parents, daycares, schools, and more have for labeled items.

The variety of fun, bright kids’ labels that they offer come in various sizes, shapes, and colors to make identifying the rightful owners of just about anything quick and easy. Whether for the child to recognize their own name (and the colors and icon that they have chosen) or for a teacher or counselor to be able to reunite lost items later on, these labels end up being nearly indispensable.

A Common Problem Overlooked By Moms During Camp Season

Why Labeling Your Child’s Belongings Is More Important Than Ever

With school ending and camp and swim-school season beginning, it’s a hectic and stressful time of year for parents. Organizing and packing properly for childrens’ daily or extended pilgrimage can be maddening. And because labeling is often overlooked, the millions of personal effects (clothes, electronics, camping equipment, etc) that wind up in lost-and-founds nationally is staggering.

The good news is that ID Me Labels, a New Jersey-based company, has established itself as a leader in the field of the waterproof labeling of practically anything to help prevent loss and theft of childrens’ belongings.

Anne Pham, co-owner of ID Me Labels, started out of necessity. “My husband’s publishing and design firm had the equipment in-house to generate vinyl labels for our toddlers’ clothes, toys, and sippy cups at daycare, and I was astonished at how well everything held up in the dishwasher, microwave and laundry,” Ms. Pham explained. “We discovered this perfect solution serendipitously, and I became obsessed with helping other parents, and thus, our crusade to label was born.”

Thanks to Pham’s efforts, and labeling in general, many daycare facilities, schools, and camps have noticed a considerable drop in loss and confusion. ID Me offers a variety of fun, high design kid’s labels in various sizes, shapes, and colors to help children, parents, care providers, and teachers quickly and easily identify what belongs to whom. Simple to use and easy to apply, the Ultimate Camp Labels Pack, for example, provides a generous assortment of water-proof and laundry-safe labels for use on flashlights, thermoses, toiletries, electronics, clothes, and almost any surface imaginable. Each year, more than 8 million kids attend summer camp and the last thing any parent wants to discover is that an iPod, backpack, camera, cellphone, or favorite shirt is lost forever. In addition, Pham did not overlook the critical importance of allergy awareness labels to protect children.

Beyond the vinyl offering, ID Me’s proprietary line of durable, fabric-based Stick-On Clothing labels—no ironing or dreaded sewing required!—sets them apart from competitors, and adhere to the spectrum of garments.

So I finally caved in and agreed with my husband to raise chickens on our farm. We already have four horses to take care of so the idea of having to raise one or in this case TEN more farm animals can be quite daunting. Luckily, the chickens from what I’ve been told are not as needy as other farm animals (coming from our neighbor who has a 12 acre farm). Let’s hope my neighbor  is correct on this or else I will have to return these cute baby chicks! By late spring the chicks are expected to lay eggs, a wonderful alternative to buying them at the supermarket. Wish us luck on our attempt to organic living. Here is Olivia, helping dad create a new home for the baby chicks.

If you have any suggestions or advice to raising healthy chickens, I would love to know. Please email me at anne@idmelabels.com or leave a comment here.

We asked mommy blogger Kat, over at Mommy Kat and Kids her thoughts on I.D. Me Labels and this is what she had to say.

Over the last year, I have had the chance to test out so many beautiful name labels for my oldest son’s possessions. But I sometimes forget that Zackary isn’t the only one with items that can be lost, forgotten or misplaced. Benjamin has a bit of a mischievous streak for an eighteen-month-old and his tendency to hide his things has resulted in forgotten items more than once already. Babies and toddlers often need different types of labels than older children, so when I received the chance to review one of the wonderful Daycare Labels Combo Packs from I.D. Me Labels, I knew that they were just what I needed for my baby boy.

I chose green labels with a racecar icon for Benjamin. The Daycare Label set I received came with All-Purpose Icon Labels, Binky/Bib Buttons, Streamline Labels, Sole Mate Labels, Stick-On Clothing Labels and a blank bag tag. I couldn’t wait to test out some of the adorable dishwasher and microwave-safe labels on Benjamin’s possessions!

The first items I decided to label were Benjamin’s sippy cups. He has a very frustrating habit of hiding his cups in the strangest places so that when he wants a drink, I can never find a cup to give him. Once, I found a cup behind the couch. Another time, his cup was shoved into the bottom of his folded stroller in our porch. On one particularly memorable occasion, he hid a cup in his dad’s work boot. With his track record, I know that it’s just a matter of time before he hides one of his cups when we’re out of the house. I applied the labels to every one of Benjamin’s four sippy cups and I loved how cute the labels looked when they were applied. The labels still look like new after three weeks of washing, and when Benjamin is playing with other babies, the labels make it so easy to identify his cup!
