As the mother of two little girls, Kristin Borden had a difficult time buying clothing for her daughters. Most of the clothing she found wasn’t designed for independent young girls wanting to dress themselves. With this in mind, Borden decided to create a line of girls’ clothing and accessories that would be stylish yet simple — perfect for budding young fashionistas. Each item in the Grace 4 Girlz line-up allows for multiple ensembles with contrasting complementary colors that coordinate easily, providing the opportunity for the unique personality of each girl to shine throughout each and every day.

Gone are the days of girls skipping gym class because they wore a skirt to school. No longer do they have to restrain themselves from cartwheels and bar spinning on the play grounds.

No tricks! Just treats! Halloween is a favorite among old and young alike as it brings out the creative magic in everyone. As little (and big) kids race from house to house, fully garbed in costumes that have been pondered over for weeks, the most essential part of their costume has nothing to do with who or what they’re pretending to be! The Halloween bag, intended to hold the most toothsome pleasures of the night, must be sturdy, easy to hold and preferably, reusable throughout childhood.

Before children learn to resent chores comes a delightful stage that wise parents are eager to encourage: the “Can I help?” stage. A particularly clever mama, Carol Gamble, decided to avoid the risk of her small daughter falling off a chair when helping her mother in the kitchen, and invented The Learning Tower, a multi-purpose, adjustable-height stepstool. The Learning Tower is a patented product of Little Partners, a company started by Gamble, with a simple, attractive design that has ample space to hold two children simultaneously.
