While working in his home studio, facing a knot of cords and wires, inventor Micah Maraia envisioned a simple, intuitive system to bring order to the chaos.

That day dotz were born—"the ultimate in cord management"!

Who would’ve thought that something so practically utilitarian could be so refreshingly beautiful and colorful, too? The dotz product line is definitely my new favorite when it comes to labeling and managing cords!

Whether or not you are in the market for such a product, you absolutely must visit the dotz website to experience the super cool animations and see all the gorgeous product images!

FYI : I contacted the company to inquire about the availability of replacement punch out icons sets… I was pleased to find out that, in the coming months, dotz will have “individual cards” available for purchase online. Woohoo!

Last Thursday, Amanda wore one of my favorite outfits to school—her embroidered dark denim shorty-shorts and ruffled fuschia t-shirt. Such a cutie!

Well, Friday morning’s routine began much the same way as it had the day before… As I started getting breakfast ready, I asked Amanda to choose her outfit for the day.

Amazingly, she did not resist! She voiced a cheerful "ok!" and disappeared into her closet. Moments later, she raced back out to the living room.

"Look, Mommy!" she squealed, proudly wielding the items that she had selected. She was going to wear her striped knit turtleneck sweater and her fleece pants! Of course! [ sarcasm very much intended ]

In an instant, the image of a cute little window cling resurfaced in my mind. And, as expected, I had absolutely no recollection of what it was ‘officially’ called or where I had originally seen it.

So, guess what I did on Friday afternoon while Amanda was at school…
