Do you remember the frustration of spending countless hours trying to get your baby to nap, only to have someone ring the doorbell and ruin everything? You’re left with a wide-awake, screaming child and an inexplicable rage directed at random doorbell ringers. I certainly do.
There are plenty of charming signs on Etsy that politely ask visitors not to ring the doorbell. They’re cute and gentle, but honestly, that approach doesn’t cut it when you’re dealing with a newborn. If someone had disturbed my sleeping baby back then, I would’ve needed a sign with a much more direct message, something like this.
Unfortunately, those days of worrying about waking a sleeping baby are behind us, but a new annoyance has taken their place: the uninvited usage of my personal items—items that were specifically meant for my enjoyment. Like the time I bought a pint of emergency coffee chip Häagen-Dazs, only to discover that someone had picked out all the chocolate chunks and left it looking like it had been microwaved and refrozen. Now, my ice cream has a new warning label: “Hands Off!”
Then there’s the deep conditioner that my daughter Ava insists on using, despite my repeated explanations that it’s too pricey and unnecessary for her hair type. Now, it’s marked with a bold message: “Stay Away!”
Want to deter those pesky neighborhood kids selling cookies at inconvenient hours or claim your chips, jewelry, and bath products as solely yours? Now you can! Kidecals has been my go-to for personalized stickers and decals, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve created a line of unique decals and door signs with them. Prices start at just five dollars, and shipping is always complimentary, no matter how many you order. Isn’t it about time we took back what belongs to us?

Summary:
Reclaiming personal belongings and space is vital for every parent. From dealing with sleep disruptions to protecting our items from unwanted use, it’s essential to set boundaries. Personalized decals can help assert ownership, ensuring that our treasures remain just that—ours.
