L is for Labels
I have been wanting to get note cards and label everything in the how for Mason. Now that he knows his letter sounds, I think seeing words on items will help him with early reading. Now I don’t have to because Wendy and her mom Janet already did the work.
When we were toddlers, my mother labeled everything in our house—doors, windows, closets. As we got our clothes, we saw the word “closet.” As we tinkered on the piano, we saw the word “piano.” We absorbed what was part of our daily environment. She’s a teacher, and her philosophy is that if you surround young children with the tools they need to learn, over time, they will simply choose to explore that which surrounds them. And through that exploration, they can acquire vast knowledge.
Tool-kit that includes:
- 300+ word labels, with low-tack adhesive for easy removability
- duplicate word labels for high-traffic areas
- 50 water-resistant labels for kitchen and bath
- labels for the numbers 1 thru 50
- 50 directional labels
- 30 blank labels
- 1 label t-shirt and Sharpie, to label the important thing…your child!
I already placed my order & hope you do too, if you have a toddler that is. :)
One Thing
From Pretty Bitter I found these “I will do one thing today” note pads. Keep it simple.
Full Description: Oh heavens… 400 days worth of stickers. Can you image actually getting 400 things done?!? We can’t. Our lazy side is already envisioning a “I will do one thing this month” 12 pack. But we can’t fault you for wanting to try and you might actually have a chance with these 2×3″ sticky pads.
Twitter T-shirt arrived
I ordered a twitter t-shirt from www.reactee.com! Silly I know but I can

Blogging thru flickr from my iPhone. This is new for me.
What are you doing? Ordering a Twitter shirt.
Check this out! You can customize your own Twitter shirt using Reactee. Pick colors and choose your text. Just ordered my organic/green shirt and can’t wait to wear it around town. I’m such a geek!
New Stationery
I did a little shopping for new stationery, or is it stationary, at Greer Chicago. Ramping up on paper products so I can work on my goal of writing friends and family more. Here are a few of the designs I chose. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones receiving a card this year by surprise!
