All Knuckleheads Spring/Summer items have been marked down to make room for the fall line-up arriving shortly… I know, we hate to think of that while we’re enjoying these lazy hazy days.

Gutterball brown/blue
But stock up now for your winter vacations down south or next year! Get them while they last. Only a few left in each style/size/colour.
BTW, you are going to love the fall stuff to come - so so cute! AND, big news - we have the girl version of Knuckleheads coming too - Hula Mula so makes me wish I had a little girl to dress up in these cool outfits. I’ll have to satisfy my urge by buying for others.
Here’s a quick preview:

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.

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.

KK different sizes
They arrived yesterday- perfect timing too with the heat we’ve had around here! I personally am so excited to have my own orange 27 oz Klean Kanteen. It’s the perfect size for all my needs. We’ve also got the 12 oz sippies in all colours, 18 oz and 27 oz bottles in many colours, and sport caps too.
We’ve put together 2 Klean Kanteen family packs to help you save and keep the whole family healthy and hydrated. There’s one option for families with toddlers and one option for families with older kids.
Enjoy, and as always, please let us know if we can answer any questions. We love to accomodate special requests!

Finally, by popular demand, we have BPA-free, phthalate-free baby bottles at Stork. We choose to carry Green to Grow because of their responsible company philosophy, their superior product, and as with all Stork products, their style!

It’s so much fun to give baby bottles as a gift when they look adorable AND you know that they are safe for little mouths and tummies.
These bottles come in 2 styles, regular and wide neck, and 2 sizes, 5 oz and 10 oz. At Stork, prices range from $8.99 to $12.49. Two-bottle packs are available and offer great savings.
