We have teamed up with our Friends from the children’s clothing company, Polarn O. Pyret to offer our readers a chance to win a fabulous giveaway just in time for the Back-to-School season.

The following giveaway is only open to residents of the US. Don’t worry Canada! We are going to have something exciting for you soon!

Here’s a little bit about Polarn O. Pyret:

Polarn O. Pyret makes the best children’s clothes in the world. Our philosophy has not changed since our first striped T-shirt. We believe in good looking clothes that let children be children. Clothes should withstand wear-and-tear and become part of your family; from brother to sister, cousin to cousin.

We bring the same philosophy to every decision we make. From environmental to social responsibility, what is good for children is good for adults, too.

Go ahead and check out the gorgeous collection of clothing and accessories they offer. I’ll wait here until you get back to get into the details of the giveaway!

Ok – Now that you are back and have browsed all of the beautiful clothing Polarn O. Pyret has to offer, I know you will want to get your hands on some of their gear for yourself!

The Giveaway Details:

• If you don’t love it – don’t do it. If you don’t LOVE a design, a product, a sales pitch, a colour, a sentence, a photo.. anything – don’t do it! There have been times when we thought “I don’t really like this, but some people might like this”. Turns out – we are our best test market and we can’t stand behind anything we don’t love.
• Authenticity can’t be faked. We know this is true because as consumers we can spot it in other companies. Being honest, being true and being authentic has served us well.
• Sleep is a waste of time, but so precious. Should have learned this as a student. Should have learned this as a Mom. But babies + growing business brought us a whole new perspective on sleep!
• Women ROCK. We are still amazed, warmed and propelled by the power of women to support each other. Bloggers, journalists, our staff, teachers, friends, moms, mompreneurs, retailers, strangers… we owe everything to the power of Women and their kind word-of-mouth.
• Quality will get you everywhere. That’s just so obvious – but so many companies miss the mark!
• There is a lot of Karma in business. Can’t explain it. There just is. It works for us every day. This is a lesson learned for me, because I really didn’t understand Karma before starting this business and meeting with so many incredible opportunities.

There are many more things I’ve learned, but these are the things I need to keep learning and keep practicing (along with ‘how does Google work?’ and ‘how do I get on Oprah‘?).
