A while ago Rona sent a note to Asha at the excellent Parent Hacks ("a collaborative weblog of practical parenting wisdom"):
It is the holiday season again and of course, we get pictures taken of my almost three year-old. As I am sending out the pictures to relatives, I want to put the year or how old she is on the back of the photo. I have not found a good pen to do that with. Either it is too bold (like a thin Sharpie) and bleeds through the photo from the back, or too hard (like a ballpoint) and it makes bumps from the letters I write. I have not been able to find the perfect pen. I know this is not a big deal or anything life threatening… but, it would be great to have something cool to write with on them this year.
It made it through Asha’s inbox, and on to the Parent Hacks site. (Hi Parent Hackers!) As always, the Parent Hacks community came up with great suggestions. Thanks! (Check it out!)
