When you have babies its soooo easy to dress them up to play, as they get older and they start to have their own voice that does get a bit harder. I love dressing my child up in Ralph Lauren Clothes – the quality is great the look is perfect on him and sometimes we match. Now that he’s fighting us with what to wear this idea of turning their newest line into the 2nd edition of the RL Gang book is pretty awesome. Think about it you get to read a nice little story to your child with the clothing you want them to wear, even better is turning that around on them and saying dont you want to wear that awesome outfit you saw in the book.
So now you’re saying well how do I get my kid to be in their book next year Polo Ralph Lauren is searching for one child to be cast in an upcoming edition of The RL Gang. check out Ralph Lauren’s Facebook page.
This spring, Polo Ralph Lauren expands its shoppable children’s online storybook collection with the introduction of TheRL Gang: A Magically Magnificent School Adventure. Showcasing Ralph Lauren Childrenswear Spring 2011 collection, the new RL Gang video is narrated by award-winning actress and mother Uma Thurman, and launches globally March 3 on RalphLauren.com/RLGang and Bloomingdales.com/RLGang, and March 31 on TheBay.com/RLGang.
In celebration of the launch, Polo Ralph Lauren is hosting an international search for one lucky child to be cast in an upcoming installment of the RL Gang. The contest, which will live on the RL Gang tab on Ralph Lauren’s Facebook page, will allow parents in the US and UK to upload a photo of their child and share that photo with friends and family, asking them to vote for their child. The winning child will be chosen from the group of children with the most votes, flown to New York and cast as a member of the RL Gang!
“We are raising the bar by expanding the retail environment to new platforms,” said David Lauren, Executive Vice President of Advertising, Marketing and Corporate Communications. “By delivering a best-in-class virtual shopping experience to both parents and their children, our customers can discover their style in a way that is engaging, informative and entertaining.”
The new storybook unveils each character’s personality through their individual sense of style by showcasing 17 new looks from the spring collection. If a customer likes a certain outfit, they can choose to view that character’s “virtual closet” to shop similar looks. The interactive digital format offers “click to purchase” capabilities allowing shoppers to select their favorite fashions directly from the pages and purchase instantly through RalphLauren.com/RLGang, Bloomingdales.com/RLGang and TheBay.com/RLGang.
As Polo Ralph Lauren is dedicated to children everywhere and the preservation of the arts and education, the Company will donate 15% of all proceeds from the first month of sales of the Childrenswear Spring 2011 collection on RalphLauren.com to Room to Grow—a charitable organization chosen by Uma Thurman. Room to Grow is an innovative program which provides parents raising babies in poverty with one-on-one parenting support and essential baby items throughout their children’s critical first three years of development.
“Polo Ralph Lauren is committed to bettering the lives of children in need and I’m thrilled to partner with them in supporting Room to Grow – an organization that is very dear to my heart,” said Uma Thurman. “I love being able to help another mother who has the same aspirations for her children as I do, but simply does not have the resources.”
Polo Ralph Lauren has again partnered with Tikatok.com, the award-winning children’s publishing platform owned by Barnes & Noble, to produce the printed hardcover storybook version of The RL Gang. The book will be available beginning March 3 for $16.95 and can be purchased on Barnes & Noble.com (www.bn.com/rlgang) and at select Ralph Lauren stores. Tikatok.com will offer the printed book in 12 languages and offer readers the opportunity to personalize the book to create a unique gift (www.tikatok.com/rlgang2). Barnes & Noble.com will also have a digital NOOK Kids Book™ edition (www.nookkids.com) to read on Barnes & Noble’s NOOK Color™, the first full-color touch Reader’s Tablet, and on the NOOK Kids for iPad® app. Through May 31, 2011 all of the proceeds from the NOOK Kids Book will benefit Room to Grow.
For Spring 2011, Ralph Lauren Childrenswear presents wardrobe favorites for a new season of school days, weekends and special occasions. For boys, sportswear is a youthful interpretation of Ralph Lauren’s preppy, sporty sensibility, with button-down shirts and casual crewnecks in colorful stripes. Chinos and plaid shorts appear in rustic dusty shades and beautifully saturated colors. Ultrasoft tees, polos and hoodies feature bold logos and graphics. For girls, there’s a wide array of fashionable dress silhouettes, from ruffled seersucker and rugby dresses to plaid and country floral dresses worn with hand-crocheted sweaters and distressed denim. Signature polos are reinvented with delicate ruching, lending a fresh, modern spirit to Ralph Lauren’s timeless heritage.
The second RL Gangvirtual storybook is Polo Ralph Lauren’s most recent technological initiative. The launch follows other innovative concepts such as RALPH LAUREN 4D, the RL Gang virtual storybook collection, Legends Clinics, Lauren by Ralph Lauren online fashion shows, the “user-designed” Rugby online runway show, the Make Your Own Rugby iPhone® application, the Ralph Lauren Collection iPhone application, shoppable QR codes, the first interactive virtual store kiosk, 24-hour interactive store windows and new e-commerce sites for RalphLauren.com and Rugby.com.

Yup you heard right today’s national bubble bath day – thankfully your wife isnt going to kick you out of the house for forgetting… but the kicks might be extra cranky without that quality bath time. I’ve already written about how I do most the bathing in my house, well until my wife thinks my son smells like a gym locker room bag – which translates to you’re doing a bad job now step it up with the scrubbing. One thing I’ve learned is that toys in the tub and playtime is an important part to bathing a toddler, cause its about time in the tub the longer they stay wet the more likely it is that I can clean him.
Pocoyo this new TV show that started up in the states this year is really cute. You may have seen scenes spliced into Nick Jr. Programing. As you can see the toys are cute and the characters on the show are funny. Ok havent seen it yet? Check out the DVD (it’s part of today’s prize pack as well).
Meet Pocoyo [Amazon] is a cute little intro dvd to the characters and the show and is priced under $8 on amazing. Even the cute bath toys that are sold at Toys R Us all 3 are under $10 [Amazon]. They also have this massive online game which does have some premium services offered for a pay for account which is at Pocoyo¹s online virtual world, www.pocoyoworld.com
We’re giving away a great prize pack of 1 bath toy, the DVD and 14 days premium membership to Pocoyo’s World.

Music is always a big thing in many peoples life and finding ways to listen to it has become a business on to its own. With the items like iPods that can carry around entire libraries of music hundreds of hours of mp3s can be loaded up and easily moved around. So products that travel and produce amazing sound quality have been coming out for years but at prices that cost almost as much as the iPod itself. In recent times that quality versus price issue has all but gone the way of the dodo bird and with items like Altec Lansing’s IMT320 inMotion Compact speaker system you have a very reasonable priced product with great sound clarity and volume.
Its charges the iPod/iPhones too which always helps… and best of all since this is a travel set there is an aux plug to jack in that DVD player or laptop to really kick up the sound playing those movies.
When I say you can take it and go – it runs on both AC and on Battery power. Works great for in home and on the road, also works with the idea of taking it outside to the deck or near by park during those upcoming spring days. For those with kids you can pack up your kids favorite music and go (which really helps with traveling too).
I say for the money its a buy – check it out on Amazon.
