About a month ago, my son got lost for the first time.  He’s 2 years old and quite the adventurer at times.  We were at church after service, talking with another family, when I saw him run off.  I was able to follow him, but he made a turn.  Once I made that same turn, I couldn’t find him.  There were lots of places that he could’ve gone to – up a staircase, into the sanctuary, into a few different Sunday School rooms or even the church library.  I panicked, of course, went back and got my husband and friends and we all started looking.  Some other friends of ours saw Finn and held him and started looking for us.  Once we found each other, I was so relieved!

As I started processing the event, in the car on the way home, I realized that the situation could have been much worse.  As big as our church is, it was still a confined place and it would’ve been hard for him to make it outdoors without us.  And because of how our church does Sunday School, Finn had a sticker on the back of his shirt with his name, our name and our phone numbers.  It would’ve been really easy for someone to find him and they’d be able to reach us.  This would’ve been a totally different situation had we been at the zoo or some where much more public.

That’s when I realized that I ordered the wrong thing from Kidecals.  I had gotten contacted shortly before then to do a Product Review, but I ordered labels for my kitchen.  And as cool as they are (and they are cool), it was that I-lost-my-son-in-public scenario that made me realize how much more valuable to me, some of their other products would have been.

Kidecals make “stickers” that are re-usable, water friendly and completely customizable.  One of their main lines is “stickers” for kids that they can use to label things that they take to school or daycare.  Many of them have a place for a phone number – and that’s what made me thing “I really need to order some that have my phone number on them” – something like this maybe.  That way I can stick them on my boys when we go some place public, then when we come home, put them back on the sheet and I can use them next time.

Of course, those aren’t the ones that I ordered – but the ones that I ordered are pretty cool.  I customized one for kitchen stuff, thinking that they’d be perfect to take to potlucks or relatives house as a way of marking my dishes.  Or for an extra “flair” when dropping off freezer meals for people.  And they are great for that!  I just think the kid labels are extra cool!
