We are so excited to announce our new slide on buckle! This buckle can slide onto any of our child belts for a more “traditional look”. The function is the same as always and the buckle is just for show! The buckle can slide off of the belt once your child outgrows it and then can slide onto a new belt. The buckle will be available on the site soon, but until then feel free to call to order one($2 each)!

So the holiday season has ended, whew, tiring but fun!  I love giving gifts and seeing if I got it right.  The challenge is trying to think of fun gifts that will be long-lasting, and that they won’t tire of after a few weeks.  I thought that I would share the winners from this holiday season.  The gifts that brought the biggest smiles from the kids in my life.   The first is Buckyballs.  These are tiny, strong magnets that have occupied many hours of fun in my house.  Definitely a choking hazard so I wouldn’t recommend them for kids under 5.  My kids also got Spooner Boards which are cool balance boards for twirling and tricks.  We are especially excited to see the fun we can have with them in the snow.  If it ever snows this winter!

Workbooks were another gift this year.  My 9 yr old likes these scrabble sticker workbooks.  Finally, I entered Justice at the mall for the first time. Tons of stuff, but my big find were these cozy fleece blanket/pillow sets that my girls loved.  Anyway, I know your shopping is done too, but thought I would share in case you want to stock up for birthday gifts now that everything is on sale!

It’s amazing how fast time goes by, feels like it was just summer and here comes Halloween!  Watching the leaves change, pulling out cozy sweaters and cute boots, I love the change of seasons.  Halloween costumes are consuming the conversations in our office as we figure out how to outfit our kids.  While we don’t have any Halloween themed belts, I often wonder if people incorporate our belt styles into their Halloween costumes.  Do you??  Perhaps with your rock star, princess, fire fighter, dinosaur, or handy fix-it guy?  If so, we would love to see pictures on our Facebook page.  Stay tuned this week for a Halloween Facebook Contest!

Good luck with your costumes!

It is always so fun when the new styles arrive for the back to school season.  Seeing our designs come to life is exciting!  We hope that you enjoy our new Navy Firetruck Belt, Khaki Corduroy, Rainbow Belt, and Big Dot Belt!.  We also have added a new size 11/12 in select styles so be sure to check that out.

Have a wonderful back to school season- I can’t believe summer is almost over…

So, I must share my kids new favorite thing- the Melissa and Doug License Plate Game.  Who knew that this game could bring months of happiness?  I bought it for a Thanksgiving Car trip and here we are in May, and it is still the talk of our car everyday on the way to school.  We are playing for the 2nd time but again are searching for the holdouts of Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, and Idaho.  Any child who is in my car, immediately is looking out the window searching for those missing plates.  I highly recommend it for a trip- tons of family fun and learning about the country at the same time!  Wish us luck in finding the final 4!

We are excited about our new Mom Merchant program and love hearing from enthusiastic customers who want to spread the word about Myself Belts!  The program is simple and easy.  It is just about telling friends, schools, stores, and neighbors about the benefits of Myself Belts.  People can buy belts directly from the Mom Merchant and the Mom Merchant gets commission on sales.  Easy!  There is also a fundraising component- Mom Merchants can do fundraisers for their school and Myself Belts donates 20% to the cause.  Please call us or email mommerchant@myselfbelts.com with questions or suggestions for this new and exciting program!!

Do what you do already and make $$ in the process.  Thanks for all of your enthusiasm and support!

We are excited about a new relationship that has started between Myself Belts and Kandoo.  We were thrilled to be featured in their recent newsletter!  Empowering children and helping with potty training are common goals that our companies share.  Kandoo’s flushable wipes were a staple in my house when my kids when they were little.  Myself Belts and Kandoo both help kids have an “I did it myself” moment!

One of the things that I love most about going to tradeshows is finding cool new products.  Just a few booths away from our Myself Belts booth at this spring’s Childrens Club show I discovered EZ Sox.  Just like Myself Belts, EZ Sox allow children to self-dress and feel good about themselves.  Socks are one of the trickiest things for my kids to put on.  EZ Sox have little handles on them that kids can grab onto to help pull on their socks.  EZ Sox are mom-invented and come in all sorts of cute designs!  Check them out at http://ezsox.com/.
