In case you missed it, JustMiss nailed the “hidden danger” contest in my previous post and is now the proud owner of a $25 RedSparks gift certificate! I DO have to give an honorable mention to Jessie for making me look like a complete horse’s rear end and pointing out that there was a tiny electrical outlet in the background that was not covered with a plastic thingy. It must have fallen out right before I shot the photo. Really.
So The Playpen has been up and running for a year now. I have learned a lot, and have made a LOT of mistakes (sorry to anyone who’s blog I stalked in the early months. How was I supposed to know there were stats?)
I have also learned that, once in a while, its OK to pay yourself off for all your hard work and writing with a little good natured self-promotion. And, with the current state of economic affairs, what time would be better than now?
For anyone who doesn’t know The Story, my wife Aline and I decided to start our online baby clothing boutique, RedSparks, after our daughter was born prematurely (there wasn’t a lot of cool preemie clothing available at that time). We have been open for just over a year and I can honestly say that things are going fairly well. We carry preemie clothes for tiny little boys and girls. We also go all the way up to 4T with infant and toddler merchandise as well. We carry books, toys, accessories and bath and body; everything stylish and hip for babies. Stop by some time and check us out, that’s all I ask…no pressure.
What’s that you ask? Why, yes, we ARE running a sale right now! Everything on the entire site is marked down 20% (you can even take an additional 20% off sale merchandise) through December 25, 2008. Go to the homepage or just redeem the code “holidaysale” at checkout and start saving money. You almost can’t afford NOT to do it, am I right?
There. That wasn’t so bad was it?
Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Congrats on the anniversary! The one year mark is pretty damn good considering all the work we put into our blogs while trying to be awesome dads and even better husbands.

Loved the “Kidlets.” I know I’m you’re mother, but I think you are a very clever guy. I’m making a copy for your former English teacher. Mom
