Sponsored Review for MyLocker, Custom School Apparel Site

March 17, 2011 By Elizabeth

MyLocker.net is a website where you buy custom sports apparel. I assumed that meant designing my own logo and then choosing to have it printed on a tee shirt or sweatshirt, like on CafePress. But oh no, that's not the case here at all. I don't know how they did it, but somehow MyLocker.net ALREADY KNOWS the name of your school's team and your school colors and can print it on sportswear for men, ladies, and kids, as well as on school football apparel, blankets, backpacks, hats, and more. They have over 110,000 individual online shops, people! Read the About My Locker page, which is really well written because it reads like someone is actually talking to you, to learn about how it started with printing custom blankets for a friend and, after a whole lot of hard work, became this awesome site. I couldn't believe my eyes when I put in my zip code and the dropdown menu showed me the name of every school in my district. I can't even imagine the work that MyLocker put in to creating a … [Read more...]

Photos and Muppets and Minivans, oh my.

May 22, 2008 By Elizabeth

I've just been a busy little bee this morning! I had an 8:00 AM conference at Nathan's school to go over his I.E.P. for next year, so I woke up extra-early to get both Kaitlyn and him fed and dressed, bundled them into the MomVan and turned the key. CLICK. CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK. Huh? FRAK! Got them both out of the car, Kaitlyn wailing "Nooo! I wanna go to Nathan's school and PWAY in the CWASSWOOM!" Called the school, profuse apologies. Now, technically, we could have walked to the school from my house, it's just down the sidewalk and around the corner, takes about 7 minutes to walk it, but it was already 8:00 and we were going to be late, I knew there wouldn't be enough time to go over everything before school starts at 8:40. Called Allstate Motor Club, who sent out a very nice young man in a big shiny red truck to jumpstart my car. He saw Kaitlyn watching us from the living room window and told me about the two year old foster child he and his wife are adopting, aww. Then, I … [Read more...]
