Our VP of Marketing & Operations, Tracy, shares a cute story about her 2 year old daughter. (Just turned 2 on April 24!)
I am an avid runner so my two year old daughter knows where I am headed when I put on the running shoes. Last Saturday morning, she was scheduled to go to her grandparents for breakfast. As I was getting ready for a run, she looked at me and said "Mommy running". I said "Yes, I am going running", and she added "with Sonia". My friend, Sonia, and I always run together so I said, "you are right!" My husband then asked her "where is Daddy going?" and she replied "to putt". Right again… my husband was headed to the golf course. He asked her "who is Daddy going to putt with?" She stood there for a few seconds, pondered the question, and then said "ummmmmm……. Tiger Woods!" (oh, would he love it if that were really true!)

CWDkids New Store is Open for Business!

The retail store chain originated in 1979 and was initially called Small People. Due to the success of carrying high quality children's clothing at a discount, one store quickly grew to seven stores throughout the greater Richmond area. Success continued and the mail order catalog came into production in 1987. Not long after we mailed our fist catalogs, the company was renamed Children's Wear Digest, then later shortened to CWDkids.
Since the launch of our web site, www.cwdkids.com, in 1997, the business began to shift focus from brick-and-mortar retail to the catalog and Internet. We've doubled the size of the Gayton location where we carry both outlet and regular priced merchandise, and are officially open for business! Our team has put in a lot of hours creating a fresh and friendly atmosphere. If you live in Richmond, or happen to be in the Richmond area, please stop in and take a peek at our new look!
Visit Us! - Print this blog post and bring it into our store to receive 10% off your purchase during the month of May! One time use only.

"Hoo" Ever Stays In Bed, Gets A Treat!

Recently a few women in my office have been discussing the nighttime routine, the tips and tricks, and challenges involved. This time, I actually had something to contribute because of fun tip that my sister swears by. I have two nieces, Julia 3.5 (that's Julia in her Hatley owl pj's) and Elise 1.5. They both go to bed go to bed fairly easily, however, staying in bed is the challenge. Here's what she came up with: Julia's Bedtime Sticker Chart.

You don't need to limit this to sleep. Try an eating chart, behavior chart, or potty training chart. Share your ideas with us and let us know what works for you!

From The Mouth's Of Babes

Our Creative Director, Kelly shared a cute story about Easter and her niece, Fiona:
I went to my sister's house on Easter and my 3 1/2 year old niece, Fiona was so excited to tell me all about the cake she made earlier that day. She picked out the "fun-fetti" mix and "decorated" it herself. There was an on-going countdown to 6:00 PM, the time after dinner she was told we could have the cake. When 6:00 struck she could barely contain her excitement. I stood next to her admiring her decorating skills and said "Wow! Pink, and yellow, and purple bunnies? That's silly! Have you EVER seen a purple bunny?" She turned, looked and me and said quite matter-of fact, "Yes, Aunt Kelly, I have in my imagination."

Kids Who Inspire

Well, Jonathan contacted us again to let us know that next summer, he will be old enough to travel with his church on their 2010 mission to Peru! CWDkids will be donating tee-shirts that he can bring to the children there who so desperately need them.
When asked about his experience with HUGS and his upcoming trip, Jonathan said "It seems hard to do good, but when you think about it, its not hard at all."
Read more about his story in the Herald-Dispatch here. You can also read more about Jonathan on his web site and see how he inspired his sister to create H.U.G.S 2!!
Do you know a child who inspires others? Nominate them for our 2009 CWDkids Care Contest!

Picks For Parents - Gardening With Your Kids

We love these gardening ideas from Simple Mom. Gardening is a wonderful way to get your children outside while also teaching them how plants are grown. Take a look here to find some great ideas to get your family started.
Kids will love making a "pizza planter" by filling a pot with a tomato plant, oregano, basil, and thyme. Pizza night is more fun when the kids get to harvest their own ingredients and toppings they grew themselves!
Send us a photo of your garden. We would love to see what your family creates!
