I'm puttin my sunglasses on because it's a cold and rainy day outside!  Gotta feel like there's sun comin from somewhere.

The Great Lakes Entrepreneur's Quest announced the latest group of winners for its business plan competition last Thursday night.  RealKidz came in 2nd place and took home a big check for $2500 (and I do mean big, it was one of those big blown up dealy-bobs!).  This was very exciting for me and I was so pleased to be recognized by the competition.

It was a long day having flown back from New York City that morning. Cynthia and I had a very productive visit to New York.  We met with fabric manufacturers from around the globe and found some awesome new patterns and materials that we are looking at incorporating into our Spring 2011 line up.  While I love going to New York, coming back is always difficult because I have to play catch up!

Our big focus right now is getting out there in several different mediums to generate leads for new Style Consultants!  We have such an amazing opportunity and important mission of supporting girls' self esteem.  Our clothing has been well recieved and the fit is great, but we need more people out there building their RealKidz businesses to share our products with all the people who don't know we're here.

I am so excited we are on the cusp of taking off!  I hope you'll think about joining us as we shoot for the stars!
