Even though most of us have tried our hardest to ignore it, it is that time of year again. The flyers have been printed and the commercials have started to air. Yes, it is “Back to School!” season, the second busiest season for all moms out there. Undoubtedly, we have all encountered the craziness that this time of year brings: bustling parents, crowded aisles, impatient children and the horror that is the “Sold Out” sign. After providing some very compelling reasons to make like a scout and be prepared, Raspberry Kids decided to create a back2school category just for you! With all you busy moms in mind, we put together this category to help make your lives just a little bit easier and maybe even make back to school shopping enjoyable.

When we had our first child almost 5 years ago, I fell in love with Skip Hop. I remember being so excited to get our Skip Hop diaper bag to adorn our stroller and now years later, I’m even more excited to add Skip Hop products to our collection at Raspberry Kids.
Our current Skip Hop offering includes some of their most popular items like their Skip Hop Zoo Packs and matching Zoo Lunchies that are just too cute for words! See for yourself …
Skip Hop Penguin Zoo Pack $24.99 & Skip Hop Zoo Lunchie $16.99
Available critters include the Skip Hop Penguin (shown above) as well as a Dog, Mouse & Monkey. These are great every day backpacks for little kids to take to preschool, over to the grandparents or to keep all their treasures in on their adventures! They are also great gifts for birthdays at a very reasonable price point.
At the urging of some of our customers, we’ve also added the Skip Hop Pronto. The Pronto is a mini changer that offers function and design all rolled into a compact fold and go kit. A fabulous shower gift, particularly when combined with the Skip Hop Swipes Wipe case, one of Skip Hop’s top sellers!
Skip Hop Pronto $36.99
Skip Hop has also introduced new products for the bath and we don’t know about you but anything that helps organize tub time is a winner in our books. Enter the Skip Hop Bubble Bath Suction Hooks which come in a set of 4. These are eye catching (but not eye sores), they are colorful and again provide form and function in your household. Amen to that.
Skip Hop Bubble Bath Suction Hooks, set of 4 $12.99
Lastly, we wanted to shout out Skip Hop feeding products such as the Palette Plate Feeding Set and the Skip Hop Stay-put Mat & Plate Set. The latter comes in three colors, Raspberry (our obvious favorite), Orange and Blue.
Skip Hop Palette Plate Feeding Set $34.99
Skip Hop Stay-put Mat and Plate Set, Available in 3 Colors $24.99
We hope to expand on our Skip Hop offering over time. We hope you have enjoyed this product highlight and we have a little (skip) hop in our step as a result of adding this incredible brand to Raspberry Kids!
Have a fresh, healthy & fun day,
Sue

The Dwell & 3 Sprouts hooded towels were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that a Raspberry Kids parcel soon would be there,
The kidlets were all nestled all sung in their dwellstudio outfitted beds,
While visions of ecotronics danced in their heads,
And mamma with her Klean Kanteen wine karafe, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the web, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang for my computer to see what was the matter,
Away to the browser I clicked like a flash,
Opened some windows and threw off the cache.
The Cici Art Factory Man on the Moon print was on the breast of the new fallen snow,
And gave the lustre of mid-day objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh being pulled by anamalz including a tiny reindeer!
With a Sprig Toys Discover Rig driver, Cap Faraday, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be helping St. Nick.
More rapid than a beleduc owl puppet his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
“Now Bear, now Piggy, now, Horsey and Kangaroo!
On, Hippo!
On, Goat! on, Donkey and Panda who loves bamboo!
To the top of the porch! To the designer Little Chipipi decals on the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the Welcome Home doll house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and Swinging St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little Reindeer hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in Colette Kids, from his head to his BabyLegs footless tights,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his Cocoon Couture Santa Sack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a Schnookums bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the Snowy Sports, Ready, Set, Play.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a boon catch bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of my Cocoon Couture stand for the shelf!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He wrote not a word in his Momiji or espe journal, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a fresh, healthy & fun night!”
From Mrs. Claus

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Fellow mompreneur, Karen Randall from New & Green Baby cloth diapering asked me to write some content for her recent newsletter about gift giving considerations this holiday season and I thought I would share it with our blog readers as well.
Humming and Ha-ing this holiday season? Here’s some tips we hope help you:
The main questions I ask when considering a purchase is “who makes it”, “where is it made” and “what is it made from”. I have to feel good about the answers to each of these questions before I will proceed with my purchase.
I definitely look for items made in Canada or the US but will consider products that are ethically made or have been made with consideration to the environment as well as Fair Trade products from around the world.
Packaging is another huge consideration with a “less is more” preference. I avoid plastic and twist ties like the plague and opt for no packaging or eco-friendly packaging and make sure all of the packaging is recyclable. I also look at creative ways to wrap presents by re-using wrap from years gone by or getting creative with using gifts as packaging. For example, wrapping another present in a backpack, or giving a piece of jewelry in a lunchbot or goodbyn container and the like.
Lunchbots Uno & Duo
Having seen lots of products since the birth of my eldest 4.5 years ago, I really look to buy less “things” and opt for higher quality (ie. usually a bit more expensive) items whether it be clothes, feeding products and toys because the old adage “you get what you pay for” still rings true and these items tend to last longer, wear better and can be passed down to future generations. This cannot be said of all products on the market so definitely keep an eye out for good quality as it is worth it in the short and long run.
Another great way to reduce waste or unwanted gifts is to create and share a wishlist. Make sure to include items in a variety of price ranges but this helps to channel those that mean well and want to get something for you or your children but at least this way, they are buying something you need or want. Electronic gift cards are a really good option as well and are especially good for those that leave their shopping to the last minute!
It’s December 1st tomorrow. If you haven’t started thinking about Christmas, my last tip would be start earlier rather than later. We have already seen some very popular toys sell out for the year!
Have a fresh, healthy & fun day,
Sue

We just got a shipment of some of the coolest summer hats for kids aged 3 months to 10 years!
We first came across Kooringal hats when we were in Australia and we were lucky enough to tour their warehouse in Burleigh. Our kids wore Kooringal hats all last summer and we brought home a few samples and gave them out to friends and we got rave reviews and great feedback so this summer, we decided to add them to our line up.
These products are designed in Australian and Aussies know a few things about how to look stylish but still protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays.
Here are a few of our fave designs:
Kooringal Dozer Pointbreak Hat in Putty $20.99
Kooringal Heidiho Ponytail Hat $21.99
Kooringal Dozer Baby Bucket Hat $19.49
Kooringal Heidiho Baby Legionnaire $19.49
So if you want to stay cool this summer, pick up a stylish Kooringal Hat from Raspberry Kids for your little beach bum!
Now all we need is some sunshine!

So our visa bill came the other day and my jaw hit the floor when I saw the balance! I could not figure out how it could be that big … there must be a mistake!
After close scrutiny, of course there was no mistake and as usual, the majority of our expenses had gone on our credit card so we could get the points which resulted in another high balance.
I was positive there were many items on there that we could “cut out” so we sat down and went through the list together. We discussed the “do we need it” versus “do we want it” for some of the items and thankfully we saw eye to eye on where we could make some changes.
Curious, I did a quick Twitter poll to find out if others thought a hair cut and a bit of product was a “need” or a “want” and the results were overwhelming. It is a “need”. Yay, every single respondent (they were all women but one) said it was a need and they had some excellent reasons too including:
“Totally a need. Looking good = feeling good = happier, more successful mom and professional. Reminds me I need a haircut! 
”
“Um, haircut’s a need, at least for me right now. Lotsa roots & way more gray hair than I realized I had…”
“I think is a need. We need to feel good to avoid the craziness to get to us! At least we are pretty hahaha”
The one conclusion we did make is that we could spend less money on eating out as well as coffees (although some of my Twitter friends felt that mochas were definitely a need at times too). We are going to cash in some of our points and get ourselves a coffee maker. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Yummy mocha, I could use one RIGHT NOW but must excerise control.
What are some of your needs and wants? We would love to hear from you!
