Let’s take a quick moment to pay homage to one of my favorite household staples, the Sharpie pen!
This mom always has a handful of Sharpie pens in my house for three reasons:
- I use my fine-tipped Sharpie to write my kid’s name on everything that goes to school. It’s a must-do if I ever want to see that sweater, coat or Tupperwear ever again.
- My Sharpie is a must-have when sending packages from Calif. to my family in Iowa. The names and addresses won’t smear or smudge, so I don’t worry about sleet or snow.
- My favorite Sharpie secret is that I use my trusty pens to “fix” the annoying little scrapes in my black high-heeled boots. I fix the toes and the heels, keeping my black boots looking clean and lasting a little longer!
If you are a Sharpie fan like me, check out the new Sharpie Blog for other creative ideas for the ink. You also can connect with Sharpie on Twitter, just reach out to @sharpiesusan for a personalized touch!
My only request for the blog is the folks at Sharpie share some great photos of David Beckham (he certainly will make me “write out loud!”)
