Our Store kids showing off the goods!
This week’s outfit of the week was hard to pick! We just have so much cute stuff!
But alas, I just HAD to pick something…so I’m going with the awesome boys line Wes & Willy and the ever cute and stylish Mimi & Maggie. So we have two different brands this week, but we have to give the boys and girls each something special.

How Do Dinosaurs Go To School, by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague
Mark your calendars to set aside an hour every Friday from 1-2pm for story time at Wild Child!
I’m so excited to be kicking off the Wild Child Reading Hour this week! The is a partnership between Wild Child and our neighbors, The Book Rack. The Book Rack has generously provided us with the books for our reading hour. A huge THANK YOU to them!
Reading to kids is soooo important. I don’t really need to go into all the benefits and statistics behind it. But starting early by reading to your babies and toddlers will help them to value reading as they eventually learn to read themselves. Plus, reading to your little ones is a fabulous way to spend some quality one on one time with them! It’s so nice to take 5 or 10 minutes out of your hectic daily schedule to read a fun book.
Mike at The Book Rack helped me to pick out the two books for this week…but going forward, I’ll be taking suggestions!
Both of these books are appropriate for toddlers up to about age 5.
All strollers are up front now!
Because Steve is so proud of his shelving, I have to share this picture with everyone!
Before these awesome shelves, we had our side-by-side double strollers in the back of the store with the single strollers up front in the window. This wasn’t exactly the ideal layout, but with the move and all, it’s what we could manage.
I love these wire shelves! They’re just from the Container Store, and they’re nothing fancy that’s for sure, but they’re unobtrusive and they allow us to pack in a lot more into a small space. Also, for those of you who’ve seen the shelves that we had in our old space…these are SOOO much better!!
Big thanks to my handyman husband, Steve, for taking care of this project for us!

I have to admit, I loooove all the fall clothes we have! I love them so much so that we’re starting a new on-going promotion to promote two new outfits (one for a boy and one for a girl) each week. Basically, every week we’ll have two outfits from our current, in-season collection that will be sold at a discount when you buy the whole outfit.
This week, we have two infant outfits

The New Britax Roundabout 55
As of July 1, Britax discontinued their previous line of convertible car seats and introduced an updated line. Basically, they’ve simplified and streamlined their line of seats and made some really great improvements. As far as we can tell the improvements are all safety related as opposed to major cosmetic updates. Upon close inspection, it becomes obvious that the new seats have superior construction and a a very solid feel while maintaining (and in some cases improving upon) their already good looks.
Here’s a brief run-down:
Don’t forget…the contest ends today!! Get your votes in!
We are so excited to announce that we have partnered with the Salem-based company, FashionPlaytes.com! You can now stop by Wild Child to purchase gift certificates to use on their web site. These gift certificates make awesome gifts for any little girl.
The cool thing about Fashion Playtes is that they’re a virtual design studio that enables girls ages 5-12 to play “fashion designer” online and create a customized line of clothing that is actually produced to wear. Basically, girls go onto their website (they’ll need some help from an adult too) pick out a piece of clothing and then embellish it as they want! When you get the clothes in the mail a couple weeks later it’ll even say the name of the little girl who designed it right on the label. They have a great selection of different clothing items from T-shirts, to dresses, skirts, hoodies, jackets and more.
Stop by the store to check out how it all works and pick up a gift card for your favorite little girl’s next birthday!
Skip Hop Zoo Lunchies! The same styles come in backpacks too.
It may be in the 90′s outside right now, but I’m already thinking about the fall and winter. The summer has literally flown by, and, unfortunately, the end of summer and back to school time is not that far away. That’s why I thought it would be fun to give everyone a sneak peek of some of the cool stuff Wild Child has on the way…plus, thinking about the cute kids clothes keeps me from feeling sad about the change in weather that fall and winter brings!
Here’s a quick recap of what’s on the way for fall:
- Tea – I love their new Hungarian inspired line for the fall. We already have some of it in the store, so you can check it out now. Just the other day a customer from Hungary came in who said that she thought the designs were pretty true to the culture. My father in law is from Hungary so he thought it was pretty cool that they’ve designed a whole line of clothes after his homeland.
- Glug – their cute, fun and funky T’s and sweatshirts will make nice additions to any fall wardrobe. I especially like their boys T’s – SO CUTE! My fav is the T with the gorilla face on it.
- Mulberribush – this line is just for the boys! Today we got some of their boys T’s in. Some have dinosaurs on them, others have fire trucks. We also have some great wide-wale cords that will be great for every day or dressed up a bit. To top it off, their jersey-lined athletic pants are warm, soft and perfect for all those active boys!
- Corky & Co. – their coats are the cutest and oh so warm! These coats are both practical and fun!
- Twirls & Twigs – they’re such a great company! They use sustainable fibers, designer left-overs, and recycled cotton to create some of the cutest outfits that I’ve seen!
- Charlie Rockets – another one for the boys. Their rugged, soft shirts are perfect for everyday wear!
We’ll also have more fall shoes in from See Kai Run, Livie & Luca and more!
This was just a quick preview of what’s to come. Stay tuned for more updates….I’m anticipating more lunch boxes and kid’s back packs from Skip Hop, some Bundle Me’s from JJ Cole, etc.
Warm, Fuzzy, Cute Coats from Corky & Co.
The Urban Bundle Me from JJ Cole
JJ Cole Strap Covers...great for the stroller OR car seat.
- The cutest dress ever from Twirls & Twigs!
