The Daily Stroll

You may have noticed some changes to the "look" of the website. It is a new year, it is the FOURTH year, and it is time. I loved the former design, adored the illustration which I had done as a custom piece over 2 years ago, but it's time to turn the page.

The Daily Stroll is a great place if I may say so. The emails I receive each week from loyal readers, shopkeepers, marketing and buying departments at our favorite major big box retailers, and moms who just want to say "hi", make the effort worth every second. When designers who started small as a way to act on their creative spirits and support their families, send me an email and say that they will now be in 500 major big box stores because of the daily stroll it makes me so excited for the next one. Who will be the next star? Who can I help launch forward today?

As we enter 2008 I am excited to bring you the fourth year. With 2 girls in tow, so many designers to discover, favorites to revisit and see what they are up to for their spring lines, and a refreshed, modern feel, I hope that you will stick by us and enjoy. I know that since we started in 2004 (back in 03' with ThriftyChick) there are a bazillion new mom focused blogs popping up each day. I encourage you to read as many as you can and always appreciate it when you come back here. I hope that you enjoy our new look, and most importantly that you support these modern styles and the companies behind them.

Happy 2008! Happy Daily Stroll to all and thank you for everything.

One Tree Hill Premiere Features Song By My Friend BKN

UPDATE::

Thank you to all that watched last night! They played Steal Me during the first hour. While "Lucas" was on his laptop. It was very surreal. Ben, his wife, and our friend Matt came over to play music and eat shrimp lo mein, we all almost choked when it came on the TV! They looped the verses a few times and cut out before the chorus. If you like what you heard and want to hear more- load up the Steal Me video by Ben Karis-Nix on YouTube.

visit Ben's MySpace where you can learn about more cool stuff. Listen to Steal Me by selecting it from his play list on the right hand side. http://www.myspace.com/benkarisnix

Doodlebops Live Worth Every Penny!

So we went to the Doodlebops on Saturday. Live and in person the REAL DeeDee Doodle, Rooney Doodle and Moe. Real, live, in person, in all of their cheery glittery splendor. It was fantastic.

Seriously! I was so excited for Ruby (2) and she was super lucky because her Aunt Jenn bought her the ticket for Christmas (thanks aunt jenn). My ticket was only $30 and we were in the 4th row on the floor right under the peformance. It was great. I strongly suggest that if they are peforming in your town and it's in your budget that you take the kids. Beware, they will try and sell you lots of character themed crapola for big bucks but stay strong mama's!
