Who's Your Momma?

As a parent of two young children, ages 7 and 3, I am starting to see the value in having mommy cards. For those of you that don't know what a mommy card is, it is a card you receive after you pass the test of not yelling at your kids in the grocery store for a whole week. Not really, though we should get some sort of reward for this!

A mommy card is something fairly new to the playground. It is basically a "business" card for mom. You have your name and your children's names with your contact information. Between school, daycare, karate, soccer, and all the other things my kids are into, I have a very hard time remembering the names of the parents of other children.

Mommy cards are perfect when you are trying to plan play dates, sleepovers, carpooling and countless other things. You aren't trying to find a scrap of paper to write a phone number on or, in my case, trying to act like you remember the parent's name!

I have seen some very cool mommy cards. You can put your children's photos on them, allergy and emergency contact information, or really anything that you feel other parents should know.

I really hope this trend continues to grow. Who knows, maybe one day we will let daddies get cards, too! Maybe :-)
