Vote for Ford!

Cayce — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:47:16 +0000

We have always been told Ford is photogenic. Both of my boys are handsome of course, but Ford photographs really well. So, when I received something in the mail from Koo Koo Bear Kids saying that they were looking for the next model for their catalog and all you had to do was come in the store and have your child’s picture taken by James Hill Photography – for FREE I jumped right on it. He was not so excited to do it, and I don’t think the picture is his best. However, if he gets picked it could be really good for us financially. So, please take a minute to click on this link and cast your vote. All you have to do is enter a comment! Thanks so much in advance.

Do the Right Thing

Cayce — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:50:50 +0000

As parents we pray that our children will make the right choices. We teach them to “do the right thing”. We try to set a good example. I find that my efforts pay off when I talk to their teachers, or their friends parents. When I hear of how they handled certain situations without me there to help them make decisions. The following story is about my best friends six year old son, Parker. I know she must be proud.

Parker and two of his classmates were coming out of the library and spotted a $100 bill. They immediately brought it to their teacher who asked if they ever thought about keeping it. They children said that it did not belong to them so they wanted to turn it in. The teacher nominated them for the Lee County “Do the Right Thing” award and they were honored by the sheriff’s department and received letters from Congressman Connie Mack and Senator Bill Nelson.

I am not sure my six year old would have turned it in. I think this is very impressive.

Miss Mattie’s First Soccer Practice

My dear friend in Florida sent me this picture of her daughter wearing her “play” t shirt for her first soccer practice. Adorable! They are currently on sale for $10!

Inspire

Sandy Springs CityCouncilWoman Ashley Jenkins, who happens to be one of my best friends, throwing out the first pitch at her daughter’s softball game wearing Chickatees newest design “Inspire”. The shirts are very cool – my favorite so far. And Ashley is definitely one who inspires.

How cool is this?

First of all, for those of you who were reading my blog, I apologize for disappearing for a while there. Times are crazy right now, and I just haven’t been feeling like I had a whole lot positive to say. And that is what it is all about here at Chickatees. Today, however,I do have something really cool to share with you.

My parents were here this past weekend and my mom took me shopping. Isn’t she the best? I am 36 years old and she still ENJOYS buying me clothes. We had a lot of fun. We went to Ann Taylor Loft because I love that store, and I love their sales. When we checked out they put a flyer in our bag that says this “we’ll help you find the perfect fit” LOFT and Goodwill Industries invite you to donate your gently-worn pants to charity and save $15 on a new pair March 2-8″. It excludes denim.

I am all about doing things for others and donating when I can. And these days in particular I am all about saving money. How cool to be rewarded for donating something other than just for the tax write-off! I had to share. Go to their website for more details.

Adorable Girls Clothes

I have to share this company Ice Cream Shop Designs with you. I did several craft shows this fall selling my Chickatees products. There are so many creative women out there selling lots of cool, hand made items. I really like these dresses in particular. Obviously, in my house with two boys there is no need for me to be buying any, but if I had girls I would buy one of everything she makes. The owner, Gwen Leonard, is a mom at the school my oldest attends. She handmakes each item. The best part – they are affordable. Check out her website to see for yourself. She has super cute little beach cover ups for girls, and while it is freezing outside summer is right around the corner. Would also be a great gift!

Breakfast with Santa

These beautiful children wore their Merry and Bright shirts to their breakfast with Santa. I hear that Santa really liked them.

Thanks for the picture!

I love it!

First and foremost, the mother of these children might be the kindest calmest person I have ever met. I don’t know how she does it. Her husband travels for work and she has 4 kids ranging in age from 11 to less than 2. And by the way, I know these children and they are all sweet kids and very well behaved. WHAT am I doing WRONG?

Anyway, look at how cute they are in their Christmas clothes – the girls are wearing Merry and Bright Chickatees shirts and I just love it!

Thanks Allison for sharing -it made my day and for you: twenty percent off you next order!

Adorable

These sweet girls are best friends and are in Kindergarten with my son. One of their moms took this picture of two of them at school yesterday! Aren’t they precious?

Please send me pictures – remember it will give you twenty percent off your next order.

More Merry and Bright

Another adorable child wearing Merry and Bright. You can see to the right his sister and if you look closely their bunny. This will not be their Christmas card, I don’t think things were going very smoothly. However, this is one cute kid wearing a Chickatees shirt and I love it. So Mom, you get 20% off your next order!
