For many of you, this week has been a week of firsts.  It may have been your kidlets first day at school, preschool or day care…their first tooth, first step, first time on the potty….or maybe, the first time they slept through the night (I wish!). My Keiko – www.mykeiko.com.au - meaning  ”My 慶子 ” or roughly “My celebrate child”  is true to it’s name, with an abundance of treats to help you everyday of the week.

We often forget the other siblings that are left behind when one of our children begins school. Ruby Makes a Friend Written by Tina Burke is the perfect book to read to a sibling who has bravely waved goodbye to their older brother or sister for the day. The book introduces us to ‘Ruby’ who solemnly watches her big brother go off to school. She creates an imaginary friend to fill the void and has many adventures with him. In no time Ruby starts school (doesn’t it feel like in a blink of an eye they’re off to school?) herself and meets more friends. This book explores friendships, imagination and fun!

When Mister R was born I was given a gorgeous baby book to record all of his milestone and special moments. One of the mistakes I did make, not being a real crafty person, was using a plain old office ink pad to stamp his little feet and place them in his baby book! Baby wipes would not remove the stain on his little feet….even a half hour soak didn’t work! Oh how I wish I had know about Belly Art – Inkless Print Kits.  No stains. Just a precision imprint of bubs tootsies! Many maternity hospitals also use this fantastic kit.

Packing for trips with the kidlets often requires a checklist: water – check; snacks – check; nappies and wipes – check; spare clothes, um….. Yep, for me I often forget to replace the t-shirt I used last week, or the pants Miss N removed from the bag when it became cloudy and her skirt was not warm enough.  If I’m going to forget something, it’s the spare clothes that I omit. Babysparewear is a concept I think would make my life a little easier. Each set comes with a few basic pieces that make a complete outfit, are packed in a slim line travel case and are made with lightweight 100% cotton, jersey cotton or organic cotton depending on the pack.  Watch out – Babysparewear is reduced to clear! Grab your pack whilst stocks last.

Until 31 March 2010 My Keiko is offering all KSF readers a very generous 20% discount off everything – including sale stock already reduced by up to 30% – store wide. Use coupon code “KSF” at checkout to redeem. You will also receive FREE regular postage on any order over $150.

Stop the press: Cheeky Little Monsters – www.cheekylittlemonsters.com.au – is turning one year old, and to celebrate Sally at CLM is gifting us with the ultimate party bag: a 30% off store-wide code! This party lasts until 14 of December 2009 and applies to everything at Cheeky Little Monsters, even sale items already reduced by up to 60%. The magic code to secure your bargains of up to 90% is ‘KSFHB’. Use it now, and use it well, my friends!

Cheeky Little Monsters urban-cool kids fashion and accessory labels from Australia and the US, including Appaman, Beautiful Soles, Cocoon Clothing, Casatto, Eternal Creation, ForWalls, Giimmo, Itch Design, Líl Fraser Collection, Monster Baby, Mutsy, Noo Design, Pirouette Petti Couture, Sooki Baby, Sweet Peanut, Trunk LTD, Zephire Generation and Zoobie Pets – you are going to be blown away by how much you can save on these premium brands!

I think the gorgeously glowy night lights from Giimmo make really lovely Christmas presents, and they’re a steal at $44.95 $31.46. There are six critters in various colours to choose from, including a schnauzer dog, a stegosaurus, a panda and a lovely, goofy duck, so there’s something for every kid.  The lights are portable (great for those late night loo runs!) and rechargeable, plus they change colour every few seconds, and their limbs are fully posable – how cute!  They’re also magnetic, which means the kids will find a myriad of uses for them beyond a simple nightlight.

For fashion, there’s a real A to Z of hot brands at Cheeky Little Monsters, quite literally!  I love the looks from Appaman this season, especially the boys Lightening Bolt Polo pictured at no. 1 below, and the girls Wild Horses tee. And check out the girls Denim Snap Front Skirt, which was already marked down and becomes the bargain of the season at $65.00 $22.75! There’s even a good range of sizes still available.

Zephire Generation’s current season collection is also very hot property, with some seriously edgy denim shorts and check shirts for boys, and a delightfully decadent shabby chic thing going on for girlswear. The whole range is marked down by at least 10% too, so when you add in the additional 30% discount, well,  you’re talking some amazingly cheap designerwear here!

You’d better scoot on over now – I don’t want you to miss out on the festivities!

Discounted prices below are valid using the code ‘KSFHB’ until 14 December 2009.

1. Appaman Classic Polo Lightening Bolt, $44.95 $35.95 $25.16
2. NOO Designs Giraffe Outfit, $49.99 $34.99

A funky new store for you to explore today, in the form of Cheeky Little Monsters – www.cheekylittlemonsters.com.au.

Cheeky Little Monsters specialises in edgy street-wear, cool and comfy beach-wear, shoes, and accessories for kids 6 and under.

Cheeky Little Monsters is still fresh-born, so there’s still some filling out of the site to happen, but I have some news to share that I know you’ll want before the man in the red suit comes: Cheeky Little Monsters have brought lauded street-wear label Appaman to Australia!

Named for the childhood corduroy monkey pal of Norwegian designer Harald Husum, who now lives in Brooklyn, NYC, Appaman is a fusion of Scandinavian sensibility and Amercian pop-culture

Fave of A-list celeb moms Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Liv Tyler, to name but a few, Appaman has serious street cred. You can’t buy it online anywhere else in Australia, so dive in here!

I am also loving the new For Walls ‘Dino-Boo’ wall decals, Lil Fraser wraps and blankies, Itch Design tees, Cocoon Clothing beachwear, and extensive range of Beautiful Soles pre-walker shoes over at Cheeky Little Monsters. There’s still lots more to come at Cheeky Little Monsters: keep your eyes peeled for Zephire Generation, and Eternal Creation coming soon.

To wish you a *very* Merry Christmas, Sally at Cheeky Little Monsters is giving you FREE postage Australia-wide with purchases of two or more items until 12 January 2009.
