Okay, in my world there are people who speak in English and people who speak Spanish, and the count is about 50-50.
When people show up at my door at what should be an acceptable time (2:00 P.M. for example) but my baby is taking a nap, do they really have to knock like there is a violent emergency?!?
I wrote a little note to tell people (in both languages) when he was taking a nap and hung it on our front door. That worked sometimes, just not so well when it rained.
After that was a wash (pun intended), I decided to write up another sign and laminate it. But then that seemed like a a lot of work for something crude.
Okay, I'd buy one. They have signs for everything and I have the internet...good plan!
Nope. They have a thousand signs for "Shh...Baby's Sleeping" in English, and a few of the equivilant in Spanish, but none for less than $5. And the ones in that price range were actually things for me to download and print myself! And I didn't find any in both languages!
Really? I have to press a number to get someone who (roughly) speaks English, everything now-a-days comes in both languages!
Well, everything but what I need! And especially not for FREE....isn't there enough blogger moms and crafty people that there should be at least one free copy of just about anything that a person can print?!?!
Again, please let me say that this is not actually a craft page. But it would seem to me that for those of us who live in that land-in-between that is ENGSPANOL we need things, and we don't have them; it is therefore up to us to help each other out so that we are all in the "have's"!
So, here are a few household signs that we can all plastic-sleeve, laminate or just thumb tack as-is in and around our homes when needed. Just click the link below the pictures to go download then print.
I hope that these are helpful to you and yours! :)
