Who am I? What am I doing?
ByHa ha – we always go on about how mums keep “losing their identity” and all the rest of it when they have kids.
I keep losing my keys, but this product doesn’t help with that. It does, however, stop you from being “Sebastian’s Mum” and prevents repetitive strain injury having to scribble your name and phone number on the back of an important business card in your good eyeliner or spare crayon for other mums or dads when you hand your kid over to them. Or when you’re tying to set up that promised play date with an equally distracted parent. Or you just really have forgotten who you are and can’t remember your phone number.
Mums Card have a gorgeous range of cards – like business cards, but for Mums and Dads – which has your actual name on it! And who your kids are, in little writing, under your name! So people remember who you belong to, and you can’t pretend that your kids aren’t actually yours. Aside from that, it makes a very nice change from people saying “Hi Xavier’s Mum” or just mumbling something at you. Or feeling terribly embarrassed that you’ve been going to the same school for two years and they have no idea what your name is.
It also makes for a very quick exchanging of details when you do hand your kid over to them for a sleepover, or they hand their’s over to you, and is less likely to be indecipherable or tossed out as being just antoher bit of scrap paper.
They do have some lovely designs, are really good quality, and you can still write on them if you need. You can add as much detail as you like; phone numbers, addresses, emails, additional contact and who they are (grandparents, nannies, husbands etc)
We like them because they’re quick and easy and make you look like you’re organised and know what you’re doing.
They’re available from MumsCard.com.au (www.mumscard.com.au) and start at $19.95
