A few months after Pooky was born, I went to the pharmacy of a local grocery store to fill a prescription for her. I dropped it off and started shopping while it was being filled. A few minutes later, I heard my name announced over the intercom telling me to report back to the pharmacy counter. Apparently, they tried to run the prescription through the insurance company, and it failed because I gave them the wrong birth date for Pooky. It was quite embarrassing, and I felt like a terrible mother.

Mommy Tags to the rescue. These are sterling silver made from recycled film. You can have a charm for each one of your children that has their name and birth date engraved on it. They would make a great gift for someone, and Daddy and Tot Tags are also available. They’re fashionable and endearing enough that even celebrity moms Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, and Gwyneth Paltrow each have a set of Mommy Tags. Price: $45-95.
