Did I mention my husband's a teacher?

And my mother is a cross word puzzle fanatic? These individuals may have contributed to my desire to stylize a playground or two, but my number one inspiration remains my boy e. 

The other day he walked out of his room wearing a t-shirt that read "Ladies Man". I complimented his attire to which he replied, "You're welcome."

We have been experiencing what feels like a never ending wave of runny nose and coughing which leads to croup many an evening. I continue to wait patiently for the "...makes you stronger" part of the saying. Almost daily I have seen e discover and eat (stuck to bottom of sock, recovered from deep inside nostril, etc.) many a thing that should have killed him.

I cannot potty train my smarty pants.
 

Getting to the Point!

My goal, reason and desire to make Yay Self! blog a place that readers will bookmark and return to again and again, is all based on an online t-shirt business that I am working to develop. The goods for sale are custom designed children's t-shirts that define a single, uncommon vocabulary word - adjective, noun - fitting various child characteristics.

My vision is to have children all over the playground running around with dictionary words on their t-shirts, that are unrecognizable to other kids and most adults. Reading these words will not only open the door to learn more about the kiddo behind the clothing but also allow us to understand the definition, pronunciation, spelling and likely pass all of this on to our own children. 

I guess it's my "Schoolhouse Rock" way of fighting the "I'm With Stupid" movement. So stay tuned to learn more about product availability - my first shipment is on its way!! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the stories that define my world and my business Yay Self!
