Quick RealKidz Update
Hey there everyone,
It’s been too long since my last post because it’s been a crazy exciting time these last couple of weeks! I have had just a string of exciting events that I’d love to share with you.
First, RealKidz now has an award winning, phenomenally talented designer, Stephanie Milanowski. Her most recent projects were for Green Daisy, Inc. where she designed, among other things, a super cute line of pajamas. She’s done projects for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Michigan’s own Frederick Meijer Gardens. Scott and I are very excited to have her on board and can’t wait to see what she will create for us!
Second, we have contracted with a great web development firm, MetaSpring, to build out our store and to work with us to create the RealFamz social network. We’re very excited to have these talented people working with us on this project.
Third, we’ve received our first production ready patterns so I’m sourcing fabric and we should see our designs become real clothing very soon!! Woohoo!
Fourth, we have begun conversations with a local nationally renowned children’s hospital to see how they would like to be involved in the social network. I am extremely excited about this opportunity because I feel it is vital to have solid, research-based information available to our parents as they try to incorporate healthy lifestyle choices at home. There is so much competing information out there and much of it is bad, based on opinions not research, and harmful both emotionally and physically.
It has been a wonderfully busy time and I’m excited to see what great things are going to happen in the weeks to come!
As always Keepin’ It Real!!
