First off, I want to extend a HUGE Thank You to all of my customers who ordered in January. After returning from vacation, then kids back to school, I ended the month with a nasty stomach flu that put me behind on shipping orders. I assure you, they are shipping this week!

I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “Why is this company talking in the first person? Aren’t companies supposed to be conglomerates of never-ending employees?”

Yeah, well, not this one. Good for the Kids is owned and operated solely by myself, making it a mom-owned company. Yup. One person does everything from home. Albeit a messy, kid-filled home, but a home nonetheless.

So, when I get sick, or one of my girls gets sick, packages unfortunately become delayed in shipping. For that, I apologize, and hope you understand that my family comes first, as does yours with you.

As my big huge THANK YOU for supporting a woman-owned small business, I’m extending a 25% off discount through the end of this week.

During the winter months when the snow is piling outside and your kid’s fingers turn into fleshcicles, you tend to stay indoors in the warmth. Staying indoors with little kids means OH MY HECK, WHAT WILL I DO WITH THESE KIDS ALL DAY?

Good for the Kids is here to save your endless days of coloring books & watching Nemo on a loop!

Brand new in the store are the best Melissa & Doug All-in-One, Decorate-Your-Own crafts.

All are available under $10, which you’ll know, is crazy-cheap, but with the Melissa & Doug quality, is super awesome.

We’re stocked up on the best cups and bottles from Nuby:

Many retailers are raising their prices to keep up with the rising costs of products from manufactures. Unfortunately, we are in the same situation. Darn economy.

But we’re all about spreading the love to our faithful customers, so we’re giving you a 2 week warning on our price increases.

Beginning March 1, we will have to raise the prices on some of our products including those from Nuby, Melissa & Doug, WubbaNub, Vulli, as well as some of our other manufacturers.

Trust us – we HATE having to raise our prices. If it were up to us, we’d offer everything for $1. How awesome would that be?!

Take the opportunity now to get the items you’ve been dying to give your kiddos, your kiddo’s kiddos, or your friend’s kiddo’s kiddos before the prices are raised.

Because you’re extra awesome, we’re offering a 15% off coupon for your orders placed between now and Saturday, February 28th.

We feel the love – don’t you?

Nuby
Sippy cups, BPA Free plastic bottles & cups, and replacement spouts & straws

Melissa & Doug
Safe classic wooden toys for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers

WubbaNub & Vulli
Pacifiers and safe rubber teething toys

Funny you said that!

What? You didn’t say anything? Oh, that was me.

Naming products, children, and eventual Presidents is a task all in its own. Name your new fabulous/must-have/innovative product (or eventual President) the wrong thing, and no one will want to buy (or vote*) for it.

But if give your product (or eventual President) the RIGHT name, you’ll garner the right kind of attention that gets your product sold.

That’s part of the reason why we LOVE the crazy names of some of the products in our store. Really? Who comes UP with these names? Whoever does deserves a pat on the back because they got OUR attention.

WubbaNub

My Royal Heinie

Yup – the ladies behind (ha! ‘behind’) My Royal Heinie actually used the word ‘Heinie’ in their product name. Kudos.

Nuby

“Noooobeee? Nuuuubeee?“
However you pronounce the name, it sounds funny.
Go ahead – no one’s listening – try both pronunciations aloud.
Did you try it? Funny, right?

My Wee Friend

What other name WOULD you give a potty training sticker but something that includes the word ‘Wee’?
