Keep Track of Your Kids Chores!

As a parent we sometimes had issues keeping track of our kids chores, and keeping track if/when they were being done. Well we gave the Melissa & Doug's Magnetic Responsibility Chart to our kids and it made life a lot easier! We were able to add or replace chores as needed and our children had fun keeping track of the chores they accomplished!

Too Much Snow!

We moved our warehouse from Pearl River, NY (just north of NY City) to Saratoga Springs, NY (just north of Albany, NY) this past summer. Why did we move you ask? Well, we love Saratoga Springs, it is beautiful! It has more than just the track (although the track is very pretty). There is a cultural arts center, the school district is great, a great downtown and a lot of things to do with kids.

When we inquired about the amount of snow from all of the people we knew, we were told over and over, that this area just didn't get much snow over the last decade or so. Most felt it was due to global warming. "Whew" we thought, great (not about global warming, just the lack of snow)! Now let's make our move!

Well it is our first winter up here, and let's just say they were all WRONG! We have been it with over 31 inches of snow since January 1st, and it does not seem to want to let up. When we ask the people who told us that they "hardly ever get snow".... well they blame it on us - because we moved here!!

Maybe they are right, perhaps we should tell Mother Nature that we are moving to Florida, so that all of our snow will end up there and perhaps it will be 80 degrees here! :)

Customers, don't worry, our faithful warehouse folks will still get your orders out on time! Their fingers and toes might be freezing (we do have heat, but there is only so much you can do when the tempurature is 0 degrees!), but they will all work very hard to get your orders out in a timely fashion.

For all of you that live in the Southern portion of the US, we beg you, please send us some of your heat! We can really use it!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

At RoseyToys.com we believe that one of the things we leave to our children is the environment. With that said, we feel it is important to reduce, reuse and recycle whenever we can. Matter of fact, just for viewing this page, we would like to reduce your costs by offering you a coupon - 10% off any order over $25. Use the code reduce10 at checkout to receive discount (yes, you can combine this with our FREE ground shipping offer for all orders over $75!

If you receive a "reused" box from us, this is one way we feel that we can help save our environment (plus we save some money, which gets passed to the consumer, you!).

Everyone in our office recycles our aluminum cans, paper, glass, plastic items, magazines and newspapers.

We also do not purchase any foam packing materials. If you receive a package from us with foam packing materials, it is because it was shipped from the manufacturer to us in this method. If you receive foam packaging materials, please try to recycle them (contact your local town to see what your local recycling rules and regulations are).

While no one company or person can save the environment, we feel it is our duty to try - every little bit helps!

Your recycling mission is not impossible! In fact, it is very simple:

Don't throw away anything that can be recycled!

Here is a list of things you should always recycle (or reuse!) ...

Acid Batteries Aluminum Cans Building Materials Cardboard Chemicals Electronic equipment Glass (particularly bottles and jars) Lead Magazines Metal Newspaper

Oil Paint Paper Plastic Bags Plastic Bottles Steel Cans Tires White Goods (Appliances) Wood Writing/Copy Paper Yard Waste

Some of the items listed above will require special handling procedures and special recycling places or events. Just ask your local recycling office (city, county, or state) for assistance and information.

Now isn't that easy? There is so much that YOU can do with very little effort. And the best part is you will probably save yourself a lot of money while you are at it!

RoseyToys.com tries to be as "green" of a company as we can be. If you have any information that would assist us in recycling, we would be more than happy to read and hopefully implement it! Email us at
