I was grateful that when she did start to ask for [...]]]> I’ve been dreading the day when my daughter discovers name brands. I’ve managed to escape it for an extra little while, I think because in our small town there is pretty much only a Target, so that makes up the majority of every child’s wardrobe.

I was grateful that when she did start to ask for something specific, it was Aeropostale. Since their target demographic is 14-17 year olds, the styles are more appropriate for that age range – a huge relief for me! As my daughter gets closer to adult clothing and shoe sizes, I get more and more afraid of the day when child appropriate clothing becomes hard to find. I’m grateful for Aeropostale for keeping that day farther away!

Their new line, P.S. by Aeropostale, was created specifically for kids ages 7-12, and Riley is THRILLED to have this available for her! I am appreciative that they offer a different style for younger kids – because I’d like to keep my daughter a little girl as long as possible.

Bright colors, lots of opportunity for layering (which is important in Seattle where the weather changes at the drop of a dime), and bold patterns are everywhere in the P.S. by Aero collection. Riley especially loves her tye-dye style hoodie in white, blue and green. The flower hoodie is completely lined, making it super soft and warm.

I’m excited to see that Aeropostale is opening new P.S. Stores – and I hope they bring one near me! Their cute and incredibly reasonably priced clothes will definitely become a staple in our house!

“Most dog leashes are made of nylon.  Nitrous Oxide, a greenhouse gas associated with global warming, is emitted during the production of nylon.

Replacing all of the nylon pet leashes [...]]]> Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: Buy your dog a leash made of canvas or hemp.

“Most dog leashes are made of nylon.  Nitrous Oxide, a greenhouse gas associated with global warming, is emitted during the production of nylon.

Replacing all of the nylon pet leashes in the United States would prevent the release of the same amount of greenhouse gases produced by 250,000 house per year.”

I am always amazed at these little facts.  We don’t have a dog, therefore, we don’t have a dog leash but it’s good to know in case the kiddos ever talk us into getting one!

You can find some really cool eco-friendly dog leashes here.

Have you heard of Country Door?  I have to admit that I never had until I was able to review products from there.  We received a 5-piece table and chair set as well as a Radio Flyer Trike.

Have you heard of Country Door?  I have to admit that I never had until I was able to review products from there.  We received a 5-piece table and chair set as well as a Radio Flyer Trike.

Here is the description of the 5-piece table and chair set:
Colorful table and chair set is perfect for craft time, reading or playing games. Solid and composite wood; painted finish. Assembly required. Table is 23 1/4″ sq. x 20″ h. Chair seat is 11 1/2″ w x 12 1/4″ d; 25″ h to the top of the back. Ages 3-6

I know that the table says 3-6 years, but my 1 year old adores it as much as my 3 year old.  They are so cute on it!  They want to keep hopping from chair to chair and eating their meals at the table.  The table is also very sturdy and the kids have no problems sitting on them (such as the chairs rocking).  I highly recommend this table!  The table is about $125, but it is definitely worth it!

Here is the description of the Radio Flyer Trike:
Radio Flyer is known for quality and innovative design with “Wheels,” and this classic trike has been delighting children (and adults!) for generations! Sturdy trike is red-painted with metal construction and retro chrome accents. Assembly required. For ages 3 and up. Children’s trike comes complete with streamers, a working bell and rubber wheels. Radio Flyer Trike is 30 1/2″ l x 20 1/2″ w x 21 1/2″ h.

Can I say that this is one of the most adorable items I have ever seen?  I was a bit nervous when my 3 year old wanted to hop on the bike because I was scared it was going to tip over.  Just the opposite happened.  She hopped right on and the bike is SO sturdy!  There is no falling off whatsoever!  Her friend even hopped on while she stood on the back and he “drove” her around.  It is absolutely adorable!

Country Door has some of the neatest items that I have ever seen!  You can get items from the kitchen, bed and bath, furniture, etc…  Check out what all they have to offer!
