Dine At Chili's & Support St. Jude

2009-09-28T09:12:00.001-05:00

Dine At CHILI'S & Support St. Jude Today!

This Monday, Chili’s Grill & Bar^® asks you to dine out for lunch or dinner (or both!) and support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

On September 28, as National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, participating Chili’s restaurants around the country will be donating 100 percent of the day’s profits to St. Jude. It’s called Donate Our Profits Day at Chili’s and it is part of Chili’s month-long Create-A-Pepper to Fight Childhood Cancer campaign.

During September, guests can make a donation to St. Jude and receive a coloring sheet they can decorate and have displayed in the restaurant. Since September 1, thousands have stopped by their local Chili’s to Create-A-Pepper and used their creativity and imagination to color peppers and show their support for children fighting cancer.

“We are thankful to have enthusiastic and generous partners like Chili’s,” said Richard C. Shadyac Jr., chief executive officer of ALSAC, the fundraising organization of St. Jude. “Even during tough economic times, Chili’s honors its commitment to donate 100 percent of one day’s profit to support St. Jude. Every dollar donated by Chili’s guests helps St. Jude continue our efforts in finding the cures and providing the treatments that will save children's lives.”

Parents breathing a sigh of relief over new toy safety law

2008-08-19T00:43:00.003-05:00

Less lead, more testing, more CPSC oversight. Simple and effective. That’s what we’re getting in the new law just enacted by Congress and signed by the President. It goes a long way in ensuring that all toys will be safe. It’s also a common sense approach to the challenges faced by small businesses. J. Christopher is your neighborhood, locally-owned toy store and we’re seeing great relief among moms and dads and other customers now that these new standards are in place.

The new law puts teeth in the Consumer Products Safety Commission’s (CPSC) oversight of toy safety, giving the CSPC more authority over recalls, more funding, and more staff to monitor toy design and materials. It also mandates implementation of a certification program for manufacturing facilities (wherever in the world they are located) and increased mandatory testing of products for lead content and some other chemicals. Perhaps best of all for parents and others who buy toys, the stringent national standards will help avoid a confusing, inconsistent patchwork of state-by-state regulations that do little to reassure parents about gifts or toys in school that may come from states with low standards.

Summary of H.R. 4040

ROCK it out! & Walk it out!

2008-08-13T20:39:00.003-05:00

Caroline stopped by the store today to pick out a backpack for her new school. She was soooo excited that we had one that would "just fit me!" She was sure to let us know she was thankful! I just could not resist taking a video clip of her playing with the Jack In the Box! It is so sweet to see the excitement in her eyes as she is anticipating the "pop" and it was so heartwarming to see how it made her laugh....EVERY time it jumped out of the box! Thanks for the laughs CooCoo (Caroline's nickname). Good luck at your new school!

Did anyone see a "Fropper"?????

2008-08-13T20:27:00.003-05:00

Keep your eyes open for the "Fropper" by International Playthings!

"Fropper" features a unique spring system that links the 2 level seat, creating a fun and stimulating ride-on experience like no other.

things to keep him entertained while his ankle healed up from a skim
boarding accident while we were at the beach this past week. One of
his picks was the "how to make balloon animals" kit...check out his
talents! Thanks Reid & get well soon!

We tested our travel toys & sand toys...everything received a ROCKIN' review from my family to those that we were blessed to spend time with on the journey. We are rested up and ready to take on a ROCKIN' holiday season!

The "Green Toys" Sand Bucket ROCKS for crab hunting!

2008-08-05T15:19:00.001-05:00

Rodney, Beau & I went out for one last night of crab hunting along the beach and had quite a bit of success with the sand bucket from Green Toys. Green Toys is an environmentally conscience product made from recycled milk jugs and manufactured in the good ole' USA! Beau was a little hesitant to pick up the crabs & when he did pick them up, they tickled his hands so bad he would usually end up dropping them! :)

Our Beach Toys ROCK!

2008-07-31T12:57:00.000-05:00

International Playthings Sand Castle Toys ROCK! Our beach bags carried
our goodies and OGO sport disk have been awesome entertainment! Wish

2008-07-29T18:22:00.003-05:00

With a selection like this...you are going to be able to wrap up your summer with a lot of fun!

Automoblox cars too cool! You can break down the entire car and re-assemble or you can morph 2 cars to invent your own mobile creation.

Marshmallow Shooters and the Flex Blaster are two options to attack your opponent with a new twist! The Marshmallow Shooters will launch mini marshmallows or foam pellets and the Flex Blaster will catch your target off-guard.

Hope everyone is having a ROCKIN' summer and ready to ROCK into the school year.

Kitchen Littles ROCK!

2008-07-24T18:03:00.003-05:00

Kitchen Littles ROCK!

Do you remember Kitchen Littles? They were, possibly, the coolest Barbie-sized accessories ever sold. They were detailed, adorable Kitchen appliances and tiny detailed kitchen foods sold in the mid 1990s. Kitchen Littles disappeared from the market place for nearly a decade. The new Kitchen Littles do use some die-cast metal, just as the originals did!

Ashley & Haven were on the assembly line today putting together the Kitchen Little display...check it out when loaded with the product!

Kitchen Littles will be a perfect accessory for our 4' dollhouses!
