Return Address Labels & Superior Labels
I just recently ordered some return address labels from Superior Labels. I have to say that I am impressed with their service and their quality of labels. There is nothing more that I hate than to have to put my return address all of my Christmas cards or birthday invitations. What I like most about Superior Labels is that you can order by the sheet or by the roll. Basically, you can order whatever your needs are. You can pick what you want on your labels also. Do you want a black and white graphic? They have those. Do you want a color graphic? They have those too. How about custom graphics? Well, you can do those also. They even have university graphics! Not sure what exactly you want? They have an entire online catalog of graphics to choose from! You can even get return address labels starting at only $1! Now, I personally ordered a roll of labels. It is a huge roll – I didn’t realize that 300 labels were that many! I am so glad that I also ordered a return label dispenser too. I am hoping that it will keep my children from using these labels as stickers! It also keeps the labels from sticking to other things they shouldn’t in my cupboard.
What I like best about Superior Labels is that they have very cheap shipping. The cheapest shipping starts at $2.95 (vs $7.95 from their leading competitor). There is also no upload fee for custom graphics (which starts at $5 elsewhere). I love that you can even order free address labels and do a test run (you just have to cover the shipping). If you want a good quality product for a great price, check out Superior Labels. You won’t be disappointed. (I know I wasn’t!)
Money Doesn’t Grow On Trees — Really It Doesn’t
Oh the joys of having a four year old (who is almost five and cries almost everyday because she is not five yet). Madison has finally started noticing things – especially things called commercials. Every single commercial she sees she wants whatever product their are selling be it a pancake ball maker to a baby that swims (though she said she wanted that and a towel to dry her off too so she is able to think beyond the commercial). It has gotten to the point that she actually will take the remote and pause the TV to make sure you see what she wants (and no I am not kidding about that). Needless to say, we have started talking about money.
I will be honest — Madison has no concept of money whatsoever. However, we have explained to her that daddy goes to work to make money so we can buy things we want. (Madison asks every morning where daddy is and why does he have to go to work). This conversation is daily so hopefully one day she’ll get it. She is too young to understand that 5 pennies is the same as a nickel. In her head, more coins equals more money. I am hoping that because we are starting to talk about money now already that she won’t fall into the traps so many of us have. I don’t want her to be one of the many Americans who carry loads and loads of credit card debt (which her parents do not. We pay off ours every single month. If she does choose to have credit cards, I want her to be smart about it. For example, the one credit card we have gives us 1% of purchases. That 1% is then directed to the principal on our mortgage). I want her to be able to live within her means and be happy (which her parents also try to do).
Capital One has stepped up to the plate and has developed a Moneywi$e eLearning tool to help us teach our kids about money. It is more for teenagers than my little ones. However, there are definitely some tips on there that I can start teaching my children now. I have to thank Parent Bloggers for bringing this to my attention.
When did you start teaching your children about money? Over at Bargain Life, there’s a great article on the effects of couponing and the family.

Help Is Here For That Little Red Butt
If you have children in your house, you have dealt with diaper rash one time or another. I have never met a mom who hasn’t dealt with this issue before. Most diaper rash issues can be dealt with over the counter products like Desitin. However,no matter how much you change your child, they can still get diaper rash and get it bad.
My son is literally a pooping machine. Normally, this is not an issue. We is changed (almost constantly) and this isn’t an issue. However, when he is teething, we have a completely different story. His butt gets so red. I feel so bad for the little man. It has gotten to the point that he has gotten sores on his little behind due to the diaper rash (even though I am doing everything I should). We have had prescriptions written out for this very problem.
I just recently found out that there is a new product on the market called Vusion. It is for diaper rash that is caused by a yeast infection (not too sure how you tell that but that’s the doctor’s job. That’s what we pay them for. However, I do know that yeast is part of Will’s severe diaper rash.). It can be used on babies as little as 4 weeks and is only available by prescription. It is only to be used for 7 days and not for preventative care. I know this is something that I will bring up to my son’s doctor the next time he gets severe diaper rash to see if this will work for him. Check it out if you have a little one with diaper rash, so you can discuss it with your doctor.
