I have tiny Moo cards but use them as hang tags for my baby bibs, toys, etc. in my Etsy shop. LOVE Moo cards!

Ok. I gotta confess that I dislike the tiny moo cards. I always lose them when people give them to me.

I also lose the tiny Moo cards. I'm redesigning mine and uploading to VistaPrint. I always use them for cards.

I do. But I'm probably un-paranoid in that way. Do you have a relative/friend whom you could have things shipped to?

I send them to my husband's work. :) But he's getting teased by his co-workers, so it may be time for a PO box. :)

I know a number of people who have PO boxes. They're great as long as you remember to check them.

About Me:

I'm the BlogHer Contributing Editor on parenting children with special needs, and I'm at your service.

I am more than a parent, but with three kids -- one of whom has autism -- the current playlist has parenting on heavy rotation. I am a kick-ass writer and editor, and have been blogging fearlessly and compassionately about parenting and autism since 2003, at www.Squidalicious.com. I'm also a co-founder and editor at the Thinking Person's Guide to Autism.

My work as an autism parenting and iPad advocate has been profiled in The New York Times, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The Wall Street Journal, Redbook, PBS Parents, SF Weekly, Autism Speaks, and SF Gate. My radio interviews on autism parenting and blogging include KQED Forum, KCUR Central Standard, and News Talk KIRO. I've edited several anthologies and contributed stories to numerous books, including the award-winning My Baby Rides the Short Bus. I frequently speak at conferences, including BlogHer and UCSF Developmental Disabilities. I'm also a CafeMom's autism expert, and one of Babble.com's Top 25 Autism Bloggers.

I'm an unabashed geek, so my enthusiasms often outstrip my social skills. But I'm always happy to answer (and ask!) questions.
