Happy New Year!

We hope this year starts off right for you and continues with a good dose of peace, love, and happiness. We started off with homemade pancakes, coffee, and the Rose Bowl parade. Seems pretty good to me.

Our first January surprise special is a great one for all the BabyLegs lovers out there. Buy 3 BabyLegs and get the 4th FREE! Check out the coupon codes at the end of this post. Mix and match between all of our fun organic looks so your little one is always warm, cozy, and in style.

Don’t forget your coupon code at checkout to get your FREE BabyLegs now through Sunday 9pm PST! Everything else at Clementine NW is still on sale with prices continuing to drop throughout the month, so keep an eye on your favorites!

Ok, we just discovered a little glitch when ordering more than 4 BabyLegs, but we’ve got the solution:

1. Buy 3 BabyLegs and get the 4th FREE using coupon code: BLfree

2. Buy 6 BabyLegs and get the 7th and 8th FREE using coupon code: BLfree2

3. Buy 9 BabyLegs and get the 10th, 11th and 12th FREE using coupon code: BLfree3

We’re starting our New Year celebration a little early. We will be having a progressive sale throughout the whole month of January, starting today. Each week prices will be marked down further from the previous week until we can go no lower! It’s a risk to wait as quantities for many items are extremely limited, but may be worth it!

Watch out for special surprises throughout the month as well. We may offer a special price, a special offer, a giveaway, or some other kind of surprise altogether. Our specials will be featured here on the blog, on Facebook, or on twitter. Suggestions for surprises e-mailed to info@clementinenw.com may be considered.

We would be honored if you spread the word about our little sale. One of my favorite things about having Clementine NW was introducing and offering some amazing products for mamas and babies. I would love for people to be able to get them at great prices.

Thank you all.

It’s been busy here, as evident by the lack of blog posts this month. We have been busy baking cookies, making gifts for grandparents, attending holiday parties, and generally making merry. We’ve been busy with family and fun, instead of blogging, marketing, copywriting, and convincing people to buy, buy, buy. And we have been busy making a final decision. The decision has been made to close up shop here at Clementine NW.

This decision was made for a number of reasons, but the importance of family, my family, tops them all. I have learned so much about myself and now it is time to move on… although we will be keeping the doors open for a short time to clear out some of our remaining inventory. You’ll see everything go on sale after Christmas. For now I am off to make a gingerbread house with my boys…

We want to thank all of our loyal customers and readers of this blog. By choosing to pay attention to what you are buying for your little ones, you are making change in this world. I urge you all to continue to pay attention, know what you’re buying and from whom, there are so many good options out there now to keep you and your little ones safe, as well as the health of our environment.

My five year old’s thoughts for the day…

It’s the last day of our after-Thanksgiving sale! Shop now for amazing discounts on all of our sale items. Plus, we are still offering a coupon for 30% off any regularly priced items with code: THANKS

If you’re on Facebook, perhaps you have seen others or are doing yourself, updating their status each day of what they are thankful for. When I first saw it, I hesitated. In some ways using a medium like Facebook to share what I am thankful for each day seems so forced, so insincere, but I decided to do it anyway. It has actually been sort of fun thinking of different things each day. Some days have been harder than others, especially once I got through the easy ones (my children, my husband, etc.). I started thinking about the more subtle things in life that I am so grateful for (coffee I am talking about you!). Some days I really had to think… and I think I need more gratitude in my life.

Yesterday, my five year old told me that he heard something very important on the radio. He told me that there are people that don’t have clean water or enough food to eat. Every day children are dying because of it.

And he said this with much astonishment, which makes me grateful that he does not have to worry about this in his daily life, but also makes me wonder about how to use this moment to teach him about what we need to do for others and what we need to do for this planet.

We have done the usual canned food drives.In fact, several of his friends this year asked for food donations in lieu of presents for their birthday parties. We discussed why we did this, but obviously he still doesn’t really understand. We donate used goods to various charities. We also talked about why we do this, what it means for us and for others, but again it obviously didn’t really sink in.

So yesterday I shared how thankful I am to have clean water and enough food. And I am, incredibly thankful.

But now, how to teach a five year old about the gravity and worldwide prevalence of hunger, poverty, and limited access to clean, safe water? How do I impart how thankful we really should be for our home, healthy food, clean water, transportation, an excellent education, and the freedom to play? How do I teach him to be empathetic and generous with a desire to change the world?

How do you teach your children to be thankful?

What are you thankful for this year?

Isn’t it nice to have a holiday dedicated to giving thanks and celebrating family? We hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with friends, family, good food, and good fun.

Of course these days it isn’t Thanksgiving without Black Friday. As much as we are not fans of the consumerism of the season, we want to give you the opportunity to stay home and still get great deals on some of the best eco-friendly products for baby (and mama too!). Why fight the crowds and the crazy when you can relax at home with your pumpkin pie and glass of wine?

Clementine NW is going to offer a 30% off coupon on all regularly priced individual items. Every single item on our site at 30% off with coupon code: THANKS – Plus, we will be marking down our sale items too, no coupon code needed!

The best thing is you can shop throughout the week at Clementine NW and when you register, it will save your shopping cart. Then on Friday morning, just enter your coupon code and reap the rewards! Just remember to be quick, it’s not yours until you purchase.

And don’t forget to check out our new Mystery Boxes! These are a fantastic deal and give you a little element of surprise. Our Mystery Boxes are guaranteed to be a fantastic deal and may even include products you can’t find on our site yet, or anymore! How fun is that? (These are not included in our promotion.)
