A Fun New Blog

When we moved from Richmond last summer, I knew we would miss our friends, our house, Caroline's school. For the most part, we love living in Ridgewood. It is such a great town, filled with friendly people, fun things to do and family. We do find though that there are some surprising things we miss.

Our grocery store, Ukrops, being one of them. There seems to be no way to go to one grocery store here. I feel like I am living in France- one store is good for produce, one good for organic foods, another for the basics.

Another thing that seems so strange to be missing are my children's clothing stores. You would think being 15 miles from NYC, I would have taken a step up in the fashion world. It appears though, that Richmond really had something special in children's clothing- lots of small, privately owned stores- run by women I came to know who sold cute clothes that allowed my girls to look like girls, not miniature teenagers.

I was so glad last week when I received an e-mail from my friend Tracy who works at CWD- one of the stores I so miss. She was letting us know that CWD has started to write a fun new blog. You can find it here. Seems like a no brainer today- post a comment and be entered to win a $300 gift certificate. Maybe I can win a taste of Richmond fashion all the way up here in the Garden State!
