Friends Forever


After a delightful break from winter (no vacation, just some sympathy from Mother Nature),  the white stuff is back again.  The reports aren't calling for too much and we're officially past the middle of February so I'd say the end is near.

The most popular European is back too, Sophie is back in stock and this time she brought her friends; Chan, Pie and Gnon.  At first I really didn't know what to make of Sophie having friends, but they are quite cute!  Made from the same non toxic rubber as Sophie herself, these cute little mushroom characters are a lovely size for little hands and they do have the cutest expressions!  I don't know which will become Spohie's BFF, but I'm sure your small person will discover a favorite soon enough!

Winter Blues...

It has been one rough Canadian winter. I know, we live in Canada so it really isn't something that we should complain about - but we do! This winter has been very hard though. A lot of snow, more then we have had at least in the past couple of years and cold. Not just cold but freezing! All that being said that hasn't been the hardest part of winter for me this year. For me it has been the lack of sunshine. These past couple of weeks have seen a very limited amount of sun. So imagine my joy to wake up yesterday, just about at the end of my rope, and see the sun. It gave me that little extra push I needed to keep smiling. To see the sunshine again this morning has been just fantastic. Winter blues...what winter blues?!

I can now start thinking about Spring. Yes, all of our dependable groundhog friends have said that we can expect 6 more weeks of winter but with at least a little sunshine along the way I might just make it to Spring with my sanity still intact. 

There are great new things coming into the store just in time to prepare us to get outside once again. If you choose to stroll into spring the new 2009 Uppa Vista strollers should be here any minute and there is always the reliable B.O.B Revolution to get you out walking or maybe even running! If you would like to sling into spring we have a great selection and variety for you to come in and try. Some of our favorites include Mobile Mommy, Cuddly Wrap and ErgoBaby. 

Whatever way you choose, it will be great to get outside again without 17 layers!
