So it's now 2012 and my New Year's Resolutions are:
1. Take better care of myself. As many of you all know I had a sinus infection for the first time this year which was a miserable two week long experience. Thankfully I'm not prone to being ill but my friends (especially my best friend Deirdre) and family (especially Shawn and my sister) have been continuously urging me to rest and get back to the gym. I used to be in love with the gym and I had a love affair with sleep but now we're on the outs. So I've decided to mend fences with my gym and my pillow and I'm excited to feel the physical change. Besides I've got a lot to do this year so I've got to be healthy in order to make things happen.
2. I'm going to take ToddleWood to great heights. There are a couple of exciting things in the works and I'll be sharing them with you as they progress. The ToddleWood clothing line is about to relaunch in a couple of weeks. I had a soft launch in 2011 and my designs were in 6 stores from New York to Louisiana. More to come...watch what happens next.

What can I say, the last 4 months of 2011 were incredible. I and ToddleWood were featured in numerous on line and hard copy publications domestically and internationally...most notably HUFFINGTON POST, The TODAY Show experience, Entertainment Tonight's The INSIDER, People Magazine, In Touch Magazine, Yahoo's OMG, ABC.com, Verizon Fios channel 1 and many blogs. Very exciting way to end the year. Many interesting phone calls stemmed from all this. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, I'm excited to get back to shooting. So, as you know mini-Lenny Kravitz has been chosen and we'll be shooting this month. And finally, the cast of Three's Company has been selected. This was a tough one but I think these kids will be great and we'll have a lot of fun transforming them into Jack, Janet and Chrissy 70's style! Congratulations kids!
Lastly, I want to thank everyone who sends me ideas for my photoshoots. Some people may think I don't read all my emails but I do and I love your ideas. As a matter of fact, one mom gave me an idea that I'm in love with! So I'm opening up a casting call for the hosts of the Late Night Wars...Jay Leno, David Letterman and Conan O'Brien! My goal is to shoot each of these right at their studio with the kids sitting in each host's chair. I'm very excited to reach out to my producer friends from my recent interviews:) So keep your fingers crossed.
Calling all kids on the west coast! Since Jay Leno's and Conan O'Brien's studios are located in California, I would especially like to open the casting to you. All east coast families, if you're willing to travel then let's do it.
Send your casting submissions to casting@toddlewood.com and PLEASE put "Late Night Wars" in the subject. I get a lot of general submissions and this makes it easier for me when I'm focusing on this particular casting. More casting announcements to come. Good Luck
I hope everyone brought in the new year safely and I wish great things to you all for 2012.
xoxo, T
