A shout-out to Asha and the other hackers

Just wanted to thank Asha over at Parenthacks for the mentions this week ... it's always fun to watch my sitemeter statistics jump up when she posts a link to one of my blog entries.

If you've come to my blog from Parenthacks, welcome!

And if you've never heard of Parenthacks, do drop by and take a look. You wouldn't believe some of the ideas that people come up with for making it easier/more convenient/less annoying to deal with kid stuff.

My personal favorite hacks so far are the "pool noodle as makeshift bed rail" and "Sharpie your cell number on your kid before you go to crowded places." Good stuff.

I like the idea of the sharpie on the belly.

When traveling overseas, we have made laminated cards for the kids. The cards have our information, our hotel, as well as phone numbers back in the states. We did this because we don't take our cell phones overseas. Traditionally, we make a bunch of them and each has a nifty little picture, so the kid is proud to have the card. Copies are placed in shoes, pants, etc.

Fortunately, we have not needed to use any of the cards.
