Dad’s Day
Dad’s Day is just around the corner. I thought it would be fun to create a CHILDish Dad face that kids could colour, cut and glue together as a present for their Dad. The glasses are a bit tricky to cut for little hands, so make sure to help them out.
The CHILDish Dad craft is a three page PDF which includes a bald Dad face, selection of glasses and/or mustaches, and three hair styles to choose from. Have fun!
Mommylicious June 5, 2011
This Sunday, June 5 2011, CHILDish will be at Mommylicious A Trade Fair With Flair. I am excited because this is the first big trade show where I will be showing off my CHILDish products. (I also just bought the cutest dress at Joe Fresh and am excited to have a place to wear it).
Over the last few months I have met a wonderful group of local businesses run by busy moms. I am excited to meet even more of them at this event. Here are just a few companies you should stop by and say hi, you’ll be glad you did.
Natural Urban Mamas and Cosy Baby Happy Mommy will be at the Stroller Check fitting parent with an amazing carrier to walk around the show with!
Wee Piggie and Paws custom-made shadow boxes and ornaments of children’s precious hands and feet.
Little Blossom sassy hair accessories handcrafted for little fashionistas.
Scrappy Mommy scrapbooks your pictures into full albums for you.
Rolling Grove Organics eco essentials for babies and young children.
Modern Mama mom-focused events in Edmonton, Calgary & Vancouver.
Mommy Connections offers a wide range of Pre & Post Natal programs.
Peanut Butter & Jam Playgroup is a parent cooperative playgroup where parents and caregivers can share a cup of coffee and chat about their experiences while their children play.
Don’t forget to stop by and say hi to me at my CHILDish booth. I will have a variety of personalized plates, bowls and lunchboxes for sale. Plate and bowl sets will be $40 (save $5), if you buy a lunchbox you’ll receive a free drink holder ($10 value). I’ll also have free colouring pages, crayons for the kids, and a door prize.
Canada Post Strike
Today, CUPW’s gave notice that the union plans to begin strike activities at 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 2, 2011.
CHILDish will still operate as normal. Below are some tips to help us all ride out the strike.
• If you live in the US, the Canada Post strike will not effect you at all. CHILDish products are manufactured in the US and will be shipped directly to you through USPS or UPS.
• If you live in Edmonton or Ottawa, CHILDish can still offer free local pick up at no cost. Follow this link to place your order for pick up.
• If you live in any other city in Canada, try to order as many like items as possible in one order. Larger orders will ship UPS or FEDEX as per usual.
• If you order one item, your order will still be shipped to you using UPS or FEDEX. At this time CHILDish shipping charges will not increase. If the strike lasts longer than 2 weeks, shipping costs for individual items will increase until the strike is over.
As usual you will receive a shipping notice once your item has shipped. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Sarah Stickland

Veggie Chips
I love to snack, especially on crunchy salty treats. I came across this veggie chip recipe and am excited to give them a try! I have a feeling the kids will enjoy them as much as I will.

DIY Baby Wipes
- Round plastic container (Rubbermaid #6 or #9 works well)
- Thick, strong roll of white paper towels
- Sharp knife to cut paper towel roll in half
- 2 cups water that has been boiled and cooled to room temperature
- 2 Tablespoons baby shampoo or baby wash
- 1 Tablespoon baby oil
- Cut the roll of paper towels in half with a knife and remove the inner cardboard core.
- Mix liquid ingredients in container.
- Place the paper towels in the container with the cut side facing downward.
- Secure lid tightly and allow to sit until all liquid is absorbed into the paper towels.
- Turn the container upside-down and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
- Open container and ‘start’ the roll by pulling a towel from the inside of the roll.
- Wipes are now ready to use.
Gifting Expert
CHILDish has been selected as one of Julie’s Picks for the Gifting Expert!
CHILDish is an up and coming kids brand that adds a dash of creativity to meal time! Every CHILDish melamine plate (and bowl) is dishwasher safe and BPA free. Simply personalize your child’s dinnerware with their hair style, hair colour, eye colour, skin tone, name and background color and CHILDish will do the rest. I received these two plates for my sons, Blake (6) and Landon (3), and they always ask for them at dinnertime! – Julie
