Hi there!
I'm Dr. Judith, an NYC educator, mom to 3 lovely (not at all feral) children, and owner of Chez Moi Kawaii.
So, why stationery? (you might be wondering).
Here's the truth: Raising kids in NYC is not for the faint of heart - ESPECIALLY when they come to back to their apartment from birthday parties with delightful trinkets and candy wrappers that either end up stuck to the bottom of my feet or in the garbage after 3 minutes of play.
I was done with it. Done with the slime in my carpet. Done with the trinkets that didn't make it past the ride home. Done with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th wave of sugar rushing.
So, in a moment of very real parental frustration, I set out to find something better.
No more ordering 100 useless trinkets from amazon and hobbling (is that a word?) them together in the late hours before my daughter’s bday party the next day. No more fuss. No more DIY. No more fatigue. No more slime tins (please please!).
I wanted party favors that were cute, useful and actually kept. Something kids would want to use that wasn't candy, or a screen, and most importantly, not slime (again, please no more!!).
Something to doodle with, pass notes with, regulate with, dream with. A keepsake that speaks to a child’s personality and doesn’t end up forgotten.
That’s how Chez Moi Kawaii was born.
Thoughtfully curated party packs that are playful and practical. Screen-free. Candy-free. Slime-free. DIY free. Done.
And this is just the beginning.
Stay tuned for tips on encouraging kids to write, thoughtful gifting ideas, and new drops coming soon.
So glad you’re here.
XO,
Dr. Judith
