When I attended the Blissdom conference last month, I learned a bazillion different things! One very important thing that I learned was the power of a business card. They are SOOOO useful! I’m currently going back through the ones I collected from other bloggers, and as I look at each card, memories of our conversations are triggered and I feel more of a connection with the person. It is very possible that I could have completely forgotten that I even met some of these people without having these business cards to remind me, and to encourage me to reach out and connect with them again.

Since that time, there have been at least 6 different occasions when I wished that I had a card to hand to someone I met here in Chattanooga, because I knew it would increase the chances of our talking to each other later down the road. I’ve also just become much more interested in networking with others and less intimidated by the process. It’s who you know, baby!

As a work-at-home mom, still relatively new to this city, I’m starting to really crave developing more friendships with other moms. Guess what? I’ve got to put myself out there more! I’ve had some good chats with other ladies during different events, but they never go anywhere. How to fix this???

Social Kiddos is the answer! This is a genius new product from Kiddo Tags (a company I have bragged about before). These are basically business cards for mom and baby together. They are much more playful and much less business-y, though, I promise! These stickers, which are adhered to card stock to create the card, itself, give the name of the child and the parent, as well as contact information. The cards I selected are to the right…super cute, no? I have found them to be such an awesome tool when it comes to making new mommy friends and scheduling some play dates! I love that my card just goes ahead and says, “Let’s Play!” for me so that the mom knows I really would love to get together.

If you have school-aged children who want to invite friends over to play, you can also send these to school with them so they can hand them out!

Buy it!: Social Kiddos aren’t available just yet, but will be very soon!
