For those of you who don't know, Sandbox Threads is a fantastic online store, started by a stay-at-home dad who was tired of searching high and low for cool clothes for his son. We are big, big fans!

Big Sale At REI! BOB Strollers + Keen Shoes
REI is having a huge sale until May 10th and BOB strollers are even marked down! That never happens. Check out their website for details--and remember! If you become a member, you get an additional 20% off!
Also, we went to the store yesterday and got my son some Keen hybrids for summer. They were marked down to $32 (from $45). With our $15 credit (REI members are credited a percentage of what they spend every year) we got them for $17. For those of you who have kids with perfectly square, extra wide feet like mine, Keens are a great summer shoe. And with this sale, you don't have to spend $50 on sandals at Stride Rite.

Save Our Beloved Sandbox Threads!
I received the following message from Andy, the owner and designer of Sandbox Threads. Please do what you can to help him and all of the small business owners who are in trouble!
Happy New Year from Sandbox Threads
Last April, I sent an "April Fools" email saying that Sandbox Threads was going out of business. It was a joke. This time around, I'm not sure.
Right now, many of you might be thinking that the recession and slow sales are driving us out of business, well, that is not the case. Our sales are up from this time last year, and until yesterday, we were having a very good 2009.
That was until I finally started paying attention to the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act). On Feb. 10, the CPSIA will go into effect, and while the intent of the legislation is good (keeping lead toys out of the hands of children), the umbrella, over-reaching implementation will destroy thousands of small businesses catering to children, like SBT.
This legislation requires lead testing for all products designed for children 12 and under. In order to stay in compliance, we would have to test all of our onesies/shirts in every color, size, style. The cost of testing the products we offer would be approximately $1,200,000. Needless to say, we do not make anywhere near that sort of money, and thus, we will have to close up shop. The fine for one noncompliance starts at $100,000.
In recent days, some positive news has started to trickle out, and Congress seems to finally get it, but as of yet, no official delay or rewrite of the legislation has occurred.
So, how can you help? Just follow the below link and write to your Congressperson and Senators. It will not take five minutes to write all three folks, and you just might help save SBT along with most other small companies that produce products for children.

Hand Me Downs Site Launches!
From Daily Candy Kids:
Experienced moms know that the best way to pay it forward is to hand it down.
Do your part at Handmedowns.com, a new online classified listing for baby and kids gently used products and services.
With everything from gear and clothing to classes and nannies, Handmedowns.com connects buyers with sellers and sellers with buyers. It also pulls relevant listings from eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji, and Oodle.
Which means that faster than your husband can say, “That’s it! I’m throwing this bouncy seat in the alley,” you can post a listing to sell (or give away) whatever plastic eyesore is blocking access to your closet.
We’ve heard editions will be popping up in most cities before long.
Pass it on.
Available online at handmedowns.com.
Thanks for passing this along, Marna!
