The cutest on the market, if I do say so myself!  Fun and bright colors are cool but also draw attention to any important information you need to communicate. Have a little more peace of mind knowing that caregivers will constantly be reminded of your child’s important information.New Allergy Dots and Exclamation Dots get the point across and like our original Name Dots are dishwasher and washing machine safe and will adhere to any surface!  Peels, sticks, and stays!

The text is fully customizable with your pertinent and perhaps life saving information! Here’s another idea, get a set for travel. You can put your contact info right onto your kid so when you are fighting the throngs at Disneyland you know that whoever finds the little one who got away can call your cell immediately!  Also great for your luggage, video camera, backpack, sunhat….anything that might get left behind!

Allergies and medical conditions can be a bummer.  So have a little fun and add some color and art to your medic alerts!  Let us know what you think and if you want to see more designs for this product!

I love making people happy!  Recently I made  custom name labels for a client with her family’s favorite team colors.  They were psyched and I was thrilled they were so happy!  So, now I am offering totally customizable Name Dots!  Add your logo, a picture, artwork, choose your favorite colors or fonts.  Really anything is possible!  Make custom labels for party favors.  Create a really fun address label.  Make a cute addition to baby announcements!  Advertise your business or artwork!  

So we had a photo shoot yesterday. I haven’t had professional pictures taken of the boys for two years when I took them to one of those portrait places at the mall where the photographer tried to make my one year old smile by tickling his face with what looked like a dirty feather duster. It was a near disaster and I was sure my baby was going to get pink eye.  So this experience was TOTALLY different! I “won” this session at our preschool’s fundraiser (I love how people say they won things at an auction, like they didn’t actually pay for it.) If you are looking for an awesome photographer in Colorado, Kirsten Boyer is your gal. She completely engaged the kids and had wonderful ideas for how to get really wonderfully natural shots.

AND we got pictures of the four of us together! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! The last time we had a picture with the four of us together, Quincy was in utero.

I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a while now. To tell the truth, it took me a while to understand what a blog was and why one would blog. But I didn’t get texting at first either (why don’t you just call them?) and now I can’t stop. My thumbs hurt. Although I love (LOVE) my computer and all things cyberspace (well not ALL things) sometimes I think it’s just one more way to be removed from actual human interaction. I don’t want to deal with a conversation, so I’ll just text. But the real danger of technology relationships is that emails and texts have taken the tone out of a conversation…it’s a whole new generation of drama. Instead of playing the voicemail from a perspective boyfriend over and over again to tell whether he is into you by the tone of his voice, now girls everywhere have to infer into-ness without any voice modulation! Does he mean SEE you later or see you LATER? Alas, my dating days were long gone before cell phones where even commonplace but I have single friends whose social lives are now ruled by emails, texts, Facebook, and My Space. One of my twentysomething friends was telling me she wasn’t really sure if the guy she was seeing really liked her or not because he hadn’t put her in his My Space top friends yet. Naively and optimisticly I said, “Well maybe it’s kind of a pain to change your top friends” She laughed sardonically.

But tone or no tone, technology is really making us a global community. I am obsessed with Facebook. Reconnecting with friends all the way back to elementary school has been incredible. People I thought I’d never see again I not only get to see, but also get to see what they are doing, where they live, who their friends are, what they’re into…it is this nosy girl’s dream! (yes, I also like absurd reality tv and I really think it’s real and you can’t convince me otherwise!) A time suck? Yes. But how else would I get to see the wedding pictures of an old fling?

It is obvious that the Internet is connecting and helping people that would otherwise have no recourse. I mean, any time I think I have a tumor I just type my symptoms into Google and find out it’s really just gastroesophageal reflux disease aka GERD (another post entirely). So in all honesty, I want to blog to help with my business. Maybe it’s the dirty little secret that no one says, I don’t know…I am new to this community. I am not an avid blog reader, a forum poster, or even very computer savvy. But this is what I want: I want to be able to see my kids constantly but also have a creative outlet that compensates. I also want to write this blog to preserve my memories of this amazing, hard, crazy, wild time of new motherhood.  It’s definitely wonderful and it is definitely sticky! Welcome to Confessions of a Sticky Mommy and I hope you will read on and chime in…
