Just like $1.49 days at the old Woodward’s Food Floor! Remember the jingle? “$1.49 day… Tuesdaaaayyyy”. Woodwards food floor is now open and in honour, we are combining old and new – old idea, new media – for Twitter Tuesdays at dandelion KIDS.
Follow us on Twitter and every Tuesday at 9 am, we’ll Tweet out a special deal about a product that we’re super excited about along with a promo code that lasts for that day only. Twitter Tuesdays are for both our Commercial Drive and Port Moody stores, but unfortunately not yet at dandelionkids.ca. Come early as our weekly specials are only while quantities last. Feel free to RT (ReTweet) it so your friends can join in too!

Wednesday Morning Story Time is happening tomorrow… We’re going to read For Just One Day by Laura Leuck.
For just one day, I’d like to be a busy, buzzing bumble…BEE! What child hasn’t pretended to be a monkey, a bear, or a bumblebee? After imagining the fun of being a variety of animals from around the world, a sweet ending — and an attached mirror — remind little ones that the very best thing they can be is exactly who they are.
Laura Leuck is the author of several popular books, including Jeepers Creepers: A Monstrous ABC, Santa Claws, and My Monster Mama Loves Me So. She lives in Florida. Marc Boutavant is an illustrator, graphic artist, and comic strip author. He lives in Paris.

Last week VancouverIsAwesome profiled us in their Home Grown section, a feature which celebrates their favourite local companies. We were ecstatic when we heard that they wanted to feature us, seeing as VancouverIsAwesome is one of our favourite websites. Their ultra-positive attitude is a breath of fresh air.
Here’s what they said about us:
Dandelion KIDS is one of my favourite kids’ stores in Vancouver. They’re eco-minded – from the products they choose to stock, like a great selection of colourful organic clothing right down to their biodegradable bags – they’ve got a personable, multi-lingual staff, their store is easy to navigate, they constantly are giving back to the community, they have amazing window displays but honestly what I love the most about them is that they just have a lot of really cool products for kids. Their taste in and selection of products is second to none.
Our youngest contributor, Arlo, originally turned me onto Dandelion KIDS when he bought a pair of Kid Ear Muffs there to protect his hearing when he goes to shows (click HERE to get a look at them in his Said The Whale review) and he told me that he’s super excited that we’re highlighting them in a Home Grown feature… and of course I agree!
If you don’t believe Arlo and I, simply ask everybody else; they were just voted the Favourite Kids Clothing Store on the Eastside in the 2010 Vancouver Courier Stars of Vancouver award!
You can see the full story and short interview with us on the VancouverIsAwesome site.
Along with construction paper hearts with doilies and sweet messages, smooches, snuggles, hugs, and kisses are the best part of Valentine’s Day.
Should you want to add a little treat that isn’t sugary, dandelion KIDS has cool red race cars, pretty hair bows, non-toxic peel-off red nail polish in heart shaped bottles, lots of cool stickers and amazing art supplies.
But if Valentine’s does spell chocolate at your house, our waistlines can attest to our close proximity to 2 amazing chocolate shops. Dutch Girl Chocolates (1002 Commercial Drive, 604.251.3221) has loads of treats for everyone in your family including the ever-popular Kama Sutra chocolates for adults only! Rubens Chocolates (146 Brew Street, www.rubenschocolate.ca, 604.469.2468) which is a stone’s throw from our Port Moody shop, makes super yummy chocolates as well as THE BEST Hot Chocolate ever. Yum!
For the adults we have included a great love mix you can download from our friends at Fortune Night Club…
For our second week of Wednesday Morning Story Time, we’re going to read from Jennifer Lloyd’s Ella’s Umbrellas. Ella has a house full of umbrellas and needs to clean up the house because her aunt is coming to visit (something we can all appreciate around this rainy time of year). This book is filled with beautiful watercolour illustrations by Ashley Spires. We love this book, and want to share it with your child. Learn more about Ella’s Umbrellas on the Simply Read Books website.

Have you looked up on Grouse Mountain lately? Have you seen anything different? Something that stands about 65 metres tall?
Work started back in the summer on a massive wind turbine up on the mountain, and we’ve followed along as the huge structure was built. Well, it officially opened this past Friday (February 5th), and will generate 20% of Grouse Mountain’s overall electricity. Pretty cool! Did you know our blog runs on wind power?
1/2 Love this site. It streams awesome movies. No need to leave the couch! Free screenings of Alice in Wonderlands 1903 film plusabout 15 hours agofrom HootSuite
