Great Stuff: Kidwarmers

Published: September 20, 2005

Quick! How many newsletters have you subscribed to over the years? … OK, you don’t know. So - how many do you actually read? Read and enjoy?

In other words: how many newsletters would you resubcribe to if needed?

If you’re anything like me you’ve subscribed, willingly or not, to tens if not finally hundreds of newsletters. Some of them would never arrive, others died out - and then there is a whole bunch you lose as you change email address and… well, you never miss them.

But every Monday I receive one of those newsletters you do read. Gladly. Willingly. Happily.

It’s “Kidwarmers”, published nowadays by Heartwarmers (formerly aristatech). I’ve been subscribed literally for years. Took good care of that baby. Kept it out of the spam filters, updated my email address. Anything to stay subscribed.

“Kidwarmers”, and you can read each and every issue here in its online archive, is a plain text email newsletter featuring those cute things kids say. It’s a lot like Kids Say the Darndest Things.

Yup, it’s free. And yup, that means that it’s paid for through advertising. 2-4 ads in the form of a few short lines of text. Nothing intusive, nothing abusive.

Through good times and bad times, Kidwarmers has managed to put a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart ever since I subscribed to it 5 years ago.

Let me leave you with a few quotes - and the recommendation to go get it!

Xavier, 3, was sitting on the living room floor when his grandpa caught him picking his nose. “Let’s go into the bathroom and wipe it off,” his grandpa said. “Don’t worry about it, Pawpaw,” Xaviar said. “I’ll just put it back!”

Glenn, 4, went to a community Christmas display. The grounds were decorated with many lights, elves, reindeer, etc. When they approached the manger scene, it was guarded by an 8-foot golden-haired angel. Glen exclaimed, “Oh, Mom, that must be Hark!”

Mariah, 8, was spinning a tall-tale about her homework. Her mother said, “Now, Mariah, you know where you will go for lying…” Paul, 5, Mariah’s little brother chimed in, “Yeah, Congress!”

Macie, 4, came to visit her newborn cousin, Hanna, for the first time. During the visit it became Hanna’s feeding time. Because Hanna is breastfed, Macie had a lot of questions, such as “Where is her bottle? Where does she get the milk?” Trying to find an easy answer, Macie’s grandmother pointed to the dog and her nursing puppies. “See how the puppies eat from their mommy?” she said. “That is how Hanna gets her milk, too!” Macie was greatly concerned. “From the dog?!!” Macie asked.
