TGIF

For this Friday's Tips and Good Information (TGIF) feature, I want to share a little time saving trick of mine.

If you have kids in school, you know that everything has to be labeled-I even have to label Bruno's diapers for pre-school. Anyways, I am good about labeling things that I send to school, like an extra change of clothes and back up diapers, but I often forget to label things he is already wearing when he leaves the house, like jackets or shoes.

To solve this problem I have started keeping a mini Sharpie marker in my car and next to his lunch bag so that if we get to school and I realize that his raincoat is not labeled, I can quickly label it and send him off for the day and not have to worry about if the jacket will return or not.

This is a really obvious trick, but one that took me two weeks of pre-school to pick up on. Hope that you find it helpful too.
