Ever Need a Mommy Card?
With Spring just around the corner more and more people are going to be headed outdoors. Am I right? Hopefully that snow stops soon, at least for us, I’m tired of being cooped inside with a 4 year old that just wants to run. How many of you are having a hard time keeping your younger ones at home with you entertained? The good news is that while you are out and about you may actually meet other parents you can socialize with or that you can set up playdates for your little one.
Here’s a few places you might run into other parents:
- library
- grocery stores
- school event
- park
- movies
How many times have you went somewhere as a parent and had to write down your name and phone number/email so you could get together with another family? This hasn’t been a big deal for me because up until now if I lived near everyone they just simply came over, however I recently started going to a church where everyone I meet wants our kids to get together. This of course is a good thing but I kind of feel bad. The first time the girls and I went we ran into at least 12 different kids that were all in my daughter’s class. BabyGirl wanted to call or hang out with everyone, this was cool to her but I knew I wouldn’t remember everyone’s names or numbers. Let alone have enough paper for everyone.
Now I always thought the town was more of a medium size but that’s a big number. I felt weird having to write my name and number on a flyer from the church. It just didn’t sit right with me. Not when I go to events and present my business card and here I was giving other moms a piece of paper I tore off the church flyer? Yes I’m sure many of you have been there and understand what I mean. How many of you were given a piece of torn paper from something and later lost it before ever contacting that person. Not to mention why do I feel I need to hand out a business card when I go to events but it is okay to hand a piece of paper with my name on it to another mother? I have heard of mommy cards just for these type of things and think the next time I go out that is what I’m going to do.
When you need new mommy cards this is a great website where you can find templates and get your cards printed quickly. Imagine handing over a card card that looks really great, polished up with your name, email, phone number and address. You may even want to put “Mommy of….” on them.
Mommy cards are a great idea.
I see me. I like the mommy card idea Mom
