Fashion it for SafetyWhen You have 15 kids lined up show off their stuff in front of a crowd, should you worry?  Apparently not!  What an amazing group of kids!  These little ones, and not so little, ranged from just 18 months to 11 years old and they acted like pros.  There were some pretty special moments, like little 4 year old Evan, who blew mom a kiss and said the classic, “Hi, Mom!,” then later helped another little girl, whom he had never met, on and off the stage.  You can imagine his mom must be pretty proud.  We had little ones who should have been totally freaked about being up in that window, but I think they could have stayed up there all day.  Sweet little Chloe made the cutest little shoulder shrugs.  You just wanted to scoop her up.  Honestly, they all looked like model material.  Those older boys looked cool as cucumbers and could give any runway model a run for their money. 

Our Baby Legs were a huge hit.  If you didn’t get to see them on the runway, you need to stop in and check them out.  They have many uses, from the legs to the arms, as seen on Amber, who demonstrated how to wear them with short sleeved shirts to keep your arms warm when you get cold (especially in the cold classrooms, easier to toss in your backpack than a jacket).  They are not just for babies!  We’ll post more pictures and uses here very soon.  Visit www.babylegs.net to have a look.

If you missed our Fashion Show, you can still help support our charity while getting some great back to school outfits!  There are a few outfits available, the proceeds from which will go to the charity.  Just stop by the store and have a look!   

 A huge ThAnK YoU! to all the families that participated in the show and to all our generous friends who helped make it possible!  We thank you and we look forward to having Safe Kids Coalition as part of our community!

http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/kinsella/index.htmlSo, I’m just dying to reading Sophie Kinsella’s newest, Shopaholic & Baby, but I’m too frugal to go out and buy a copy.  If you know the series, then you can imagine that the main character, Becky, has spent a fortune getting ready for the new baby, when she could be shopping RESALE!  I wonder if they even have resale shops in London?  Yes, these are the questions that keep me up at night.  That and a lot of caffeine.  Anyway, I found a link on the author’s website for a chance to win an autographed copy of the book!  How cool would that be?  Everyone, go right now and sign up.  If you win, you have to let me know.  I signed up, but, repeat after me, “I never win anything.”  Trust me, if I win, you’ll all hear about it!  http://www.randomhouse.com/bantamdell/kinsella/index.html

logoIf you know me, then you know I rarely run out of things to say.  I will talk to anyone who will talk back, or those who won’t, for that matter.  I just love to have conversation and the thoughts don’t stop when I’m not talking either.  Don’t laugh now…if you’re reading this, you are probably like me too.  You have a best friend you can yammer on the phone with about NOTHING and suddenly an hour has gone by.  Whoever thought up blogging must be a talker too!  I’m really enjoying reading all those mommy blogs out there and those of a few of my online friends who have resale stores too. 

 Check back often for news about what’s happening at Wallabies Kids!  And don’t forget to leave a comment.  It’ll feel almost like we’ve gotten to have a chat.
