August 1, 2008 · No Comments

So cute, so soft and so fresh! 

Justin the Donkey, Gedeon the Duck and Cerise the Cow.  Each packaged in their own gift box and each holding their own special something.  We love that it seems like each animal has its very own personality.

Our First Real Stork Mom Profile

July 14, 2008 · No Comments

Every so often we are going to feature a profile of a “Real Stork Mom”.  Our first one feature’s Kimberly from Ottawa.  Upcoming profiles will feature moms who hail from coast to coast and across the continent. 

Kimberly 
Name: Kimberly
Age: 34
Home:  Ottawa, ON
Family’s Names and Ages: Mark 34, Teagan 3, Avery 10 months
Occupation: Database Administrator

If I had a day to myself…:  If I had a whole day to myself I would sleep in as late as I could (which is hard even when I want to!), go to the Scandinavian spa for a few hours, have lunch at my favourite vegetarian restaurant near the spa, go home and read a book for the rest of the afternoon and then enjoy a dinner with my family that I didn’t cook.

My ideal day with my family:  On weekends we have a little tradition of playing with the kids in our bed in the morning before getting breakfast ready.  After breakfast it’s fun to hang out with the girls and watch them play or bake something with my oldest daughter.  Then we would go to a park with a pool and play there until it was time to return home for dinner and bed.  Once the girls are in bed my husband and I would snuggle down and watch a movie.

Stuff I can’t live without:  Caffeine, books, my wireless laptop and the Internet

Favourite mommy tip(s) to share with other moms:  Tie dyed shirts make great daycare clothes because they can get stains and you can pretend it’s just a part of the colouring. 

Favourite Stork Stuff: All of it!  Right now though I’m very fond of the Klean Kanteen Kolor sippy cups.  Every time I’m out with one I’m stopped by a parent (or several) asking where I’d gotten it.  In fact I’ve bought a few extra for upcoming birthday gifts.

Babies Go Music for babies (and grown-ups)

July 13, 2008 · No Comments

We received these CDs about a month ago but I just haven’t had a chance to write about them, but I certainly have been meaning to because THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!!  Instead of listening to the same 5 lullabies that seem to be programmed into every bouncy seat, swing or other musical baby toy, you can listen to your favourite artists songs arranged for babies. 

Angie at Hush Little Baby, our partner store, has requested Madonna.  She is sure that she and her daughter can “rock out” to it.  There are albums for every taste - from Elton John, to Cold Play to Bob Marley.  Don’t see it on our site, let us know who you’re looking for and we can special order it for you if available.  You can listen to sample below.

Early June at Stork

June 25, 2008 · No Comments

June is one of my favourite months - days are warmer (but not too hot), evenings are longer with time for walks or playing outside after dinner.  All this extra daylight has given me more energy to go shopping - for Stork that is! 

 

I’ve got lots and lots of new things arriving this month:  Ringley, a natural organic Canadian-made teether, Green to Grow BPA-free baby bottles, more Knuckleheads Clothing, Lilly Pad waterproof, washable car seat covers (love these!), Klean Kanteen Kolor sippy cups, new room accessory designs and more…

 

If you’ve been searching for something and don’t see it at Stork, please let me know.  I love to hear from you and new products are so much fun!

Ringley The Original Canadian Natural Teething Toy

banner 

RiNGLEY is the original Canadian natural teething toy made with a combination of Canadian Maple wood and 100% organic cotton terry cloth. Made free from dye and without harmful chemicals. RiNGLEY provides babies and toddlers with two safe and efficient textures that enable children to satisfy their teething needs.

 
RiNGLEY’s design allows your child to easily grip the ring and cloth. RiNGLEY can be used wet or dry and easily reaches around a child’s gums and teeth.
RiNGLEY was designed with a child’s development in mind. Since infants learn through tactile stimulus, touching and putting things in their mouths, the need for a product made without harmful chemicals and dyes is important.
 
RiNGLEY is an organic and natural toy for babies to chew and teethe on.
RiNGLEY comes in two styles: knotted and straight.

ASTM toy safety standards

Certified organic cotton.
 

Lilly Pad Car Seat Covers

 

bannerIf you’ve ever had to wash your car seat cover you’ll know it is a ridiculous experience: First you have to take the car seat out of the car, use a screw driver to detach the back panel, remove the cover, wash it, hang it to dry, replace it, replace the back panel (if you can still find the screws, and re-install the car seat in the car.  AAaaagh! 

 
Lilly Pad to the rescue.  Now you can keep your child’s car seat fresh, functional and funky!  This cover comes on and off with ease, is waterproof and washable and is available in several fun patterns and colours.  Love it!!
