Monday Mom Tip - Labeling for Daycare

If you have never sent your child to daycare, you need to put their name on everything.  And if it is a food item or a drink, it needs to be labeled with the date as well.  Now I see the value in this, but I'll tell you it is a pain.  I was clueless during my son's first week at daycare.  I put masking tape on his sippy cups with his name and the date.  I wrote his name in sharpie on everything.  And each night I removed the tape or labels, scrubbed off the sharpied date, and wrote over it the next morning.  Painful.  I started thinking - what do I need?

Ideally, I need a sticker with my son's name on it and a space that I can write and re-write the date.

Does anyone make this?  I started looking all over the internet.  I didn't even know what to Google.  

Then I found it.  Name Bubbles Write On labels!  Click here!

I can't rate this product highly enough.  The set is customized and comes with 2 different markers.  I love the labels I created for my little guy, and they've held up well over the past 8 months or so.  WAY better than masking tape or just using sharpie on everything.
