Go ahead and call me a bad mom, but I typically do not have photos of my children on my person. That's right...not even in my purse. In fact, I only have my purse with me approximately 50% of the time. If you were to ask me for a photo of my child, I would probably have to go home, pull the memory card out of our camera, open it on the computer and either email it to you or print it out. I just don't carry them with me.So when I saw this idea for how to have a photo of your children handy, I thought it was brilliant, so not we do it too.
Whenever you are in a public place and have a fear of losing sight of your children (you know, park on a busy day, festival, fair, theme park, busy street, tourist venue, whatever), use your cell phone to take a photo of your children BEFORE you get to the venue. This way, in the event your child gets lost, you have not only a recent photo of them, but even the exact outfit they were wearing when they disappeared.
Now I know this is not a pleasant thought to consider, but it is reality and as a parent, is something we must think about.
So use this tip to always have a handy current photo of your child on hand in case you ever need it.
And afterwards, you have a cute wallpaper for your phone on a day-to-day basis.

Wow, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS have my purse with me & my camera's in it, along with wipes(even though our son's almost 19 they are still useful),asprin, various forms of Tylenol, Imodium, etc.

I've been trying to do this too, as well as making sure they've got my cell number on them somehow (usually on a ribbon around their wrist). I'm terrible about remembering what they're wearing so I figured this would work well.
