The Many Uses for a Lanyard

I don't know about you, but I love using products for more than one purpose. I am a huge multi-tasker and love anything that will help me do more than one thing at once. My job as a mom has given me so many opportunities to be creative and today, I want to share some ideas on how you, as a mom, can put a lanyard to use in more than one way!

The first way you can use a lanyard is more of a humorous idea that I came up with for those of us who have large families and have trouble remembering who is who. Make some custom name tags with your children's names on them and then have the children wear their name tags using lanyards! This way you won't forget who is who and you won't be calling one child by another child's name. Now, aren't you glad you stopped by to read this today? I just knew you needed a smile! :)

Ok. So, another idea that I had for lanyards was to attach your keys to them. I hate having to dig through a purse or large diaper bag looking for my keys. It is so much easier to just have a nice long lanyard with the keys attached onto it so that all you have to do is look for the long rope/string. Once you find that, you have found your keys! This also makes hanging your keys up at home easier.

Another really great idea for lanyards is to use them as a toy strap for baby toys. How many times have you been in the grocery store and your child drops (or throws) their toy from their perch on the grocery cart? I just hate when that happens. Well, all you need to do to prevent that is to attach the toy to the lanyard by clipping it on or wrapping the lanyard around the toy. Then, wrap the other end of the lanyard around the shopping cart handle. This could work well for strollers and high chairs as well. The issue of having toys fall on a public floor would be solved!

So, those are just a few ideas that I came up with while thinking about all you can use a lanyard for! Do you have any other great ideas that work well for you when it comes to lanyards? Leave a comment and let me know...I always need new and innovative ideas to keep my sanity and humor intact! :)

This is a sponsored post for Namify, however, all the points, views and ideas are my own.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer!

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
