Obama to send letters to newborns!!

by Stacy on January 21, 2009

Did you know you can get an official letter from the President of the United States after giving birth? Yeah, me neither. What better time to find out then when the 44th President of the United States take his seat in the oval office.

Obama & Baby

What a treasure it will be to have a personalized letter from this Historic President made out to your little one. You can count that this Family Man will honor this little-known White House tradition.

To get your very own Official White House Birth Greeting
Write, fax, or simply fill in the online form

Update: I’m sorry to say that shortly after we published this, the online submission form was made inactive due to changes at the White House webpage. We have contacted the White House webmaster and asked for an updated link to the online form to be provided. As soon as we receive word on the new link we will update accordingly.

You can still mail or fax requests using the information provided in the links above.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We Have a Winner!!

by Stacy on January 21, 2009

Finally had a moment to compile all of the entries for the KSW Lotus Bag Giveaway and I am proud to announce that Michelle has been randomly chosen as our very first winner. The selection may have been random, but Michelle certainly earned the win (in my opinion) You should have seen the terrific fabric she picked out to be used as a KJ original. (Fabric no longer available, image removed)

Robert Kaufman Fabrics is a favorite of mine anyway, remember the previous Owl Pillow project we posted shortly after the launch of Kids ~ Stuff ~ World? If you missed that post, take a minute to glance through the archives. I’m sure you’ll find some other things you like as well.

With any luck, KJ will be watching this post and may even grant us our wish – a fresh new bag using this fantastic fabric. {Crossing my fingers}

Congratulations Michelle!

Apologies & Giveaways

by Stacy on January 18, 2009

Let me begin by stating how terribly sorry I am the winner of the Lotus bag has yet to be announced. I had big plans of unveiling the winner while away on business and being able to ship the item while also on business. Unfortunately, this was not the case, I’m back home now and as soon as I get everything in order. We’ll announce a winner.

Hoping to calm the waters a bit, I thought I would turn each of you on to a terrific giveaway I found today ~ A Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller~

It doesn’t get much better than that, this fantastic stroller is valued at over $500! And can be yours just for leaving a comment on the blog about your favorite Bumbleride product. Since I’m getting ready for baby #3 in just a few months the Indie Stroller would be perfect for us. We’ll gladly accept the Spice version offered, but Seagrass is my personal favorite.

~ Personally wondering how to get a stroller of my own to give away and if Bumbleride is looking for any moms of multiples to be product testers. If so, I’m ready for the challenge.

Be sure to head on over to I Never Grew Up to enter the giveaway. Contest ends 30 Jan
