Ah, the joys of parenting! Do you remember those painstaking hours spent getting your little one to finally drift off to dreamland, only to have that peace shattered by an unexpected doorbell ring? It’s enough to make you want to shake your fist at the sky and curse everything from encyclopedias to the neighbor’s dog! I know I do.
Now, if you browse Etsy, you’ll find a plethora of charming signs gently requesting visitors to refrain from ringing the doorbell. They’re all sweet and lovely, but let’s be real: when you have a newborn, sweetness isn’t going to save you from the wrath of a woken baby. Oh, how I wish I could have hung something a bit more assertive on my door back then!
Unfortunately, the days of avoiding doorbell disasters have passed, and they’ve been replaced by an even more infuriating situation: the uninvited consumption of my snacks and personal items. Like that time I bought a pint of emergency coffee chip Häagen-Dazs (you know, the one that gets me through tough days), only to discover the chocolate chunks mysteriously missing and signs of being microwaved and refrozen. Now, my ice cream has a very clear message on it.
And let’s not forget the deep conditioner that my daughter insists on using, despite my countless reminders that it’s too pricey and unnecessary for her hair. Now, it’s marked with a prominent warning: “Hands Off!”
Want to keep the neighborhood kids selling cookies at bay or stake your claim on snacks, jewelry, and bath products? Well, you’re in luck! I’ve partnered with Kidecals, my go-to for personalized stickers and decals, to create a special line of warning signs just for us. Prices start at just $5, and shipping is free regardless of how many you order (now that’s a deal!). Isn’t it time we took back what’s rightfully ours? That wasn’t a question; it’s a statement!
