Positive Procrastination ....... Again

Ok so I'm stalling I don't want to have to pull the kids from the backyard so that I can get downstairs and work - they are having so much fun! The baby sitter comes in 30 so maybe I can find just enough to keep me busy until then - like there's ever a shortage of things to do here in the office - oh like clean my desk so that I can see it again - nahhhhhh - the photo contest is running until the 30th now as I haven't gotten the labels yet for the new diapers :( Very dissapointing that I won't have them for Baby Time - crap crap crap!

Anyways I'm making the H2O Wrap this afternoon - the samples are cut I can't wait to see the finished product.

Oh for bad news - CRA is auditing me on my GST returns now (like I don't have enough to do they figure I like to sit around and make up things just to try and squeeze a couple hundred out of them! Buddy I've got much better things to do!) Anyways so that the bad news - there's some awesome great news on the horizon but I can't say yet as it's still a work in progress but I promise you're gonna love it! I'm in Lindsay on Satruday for the Mom 2 Mom Sale there at the Lindsay Inn - like I said it's gonna be a busy week.

The water patrol just entered the kitchen (neighbors kid in tow and all) - my middle one smells stinky - he doesn't like a dishwasher 1/2 full of dirty dishes apparently - well then don't open it! Or wash them yourself! Neither is going to happen but I can still dream :)

Tyler comes home tomorrow yeah :)

But in the meantime I've got TONS of diapers to make for tomorrow, and I've still got to cut at least 1 (probably 2) rolls of bamboo! wish me luck :)

Fly Away

Well that's what he's done - he's gone off to Boston again - but really I can't complain my dh's job is really great and he likes it! But here I am in the middle of show season and he's off to Boston from the day after one show up to the day of the next one - hehe it's gonna be an interesting week!

We've still got the photo contest going on - so be sure and get your photo's sent in - as the winner gets a set of 12 diapers (the new ones!!)

I can't wait to share the new diapers and the new promotion with you - but we're both just going to have to be patient :)

Our slings have been a HUGE hit at the shows so far, and there's even customer comments on the facebook fan page. Our customers love not just the product but also the price! You can't go wrong at $30!

It was so nice meeting so many new and expecting Mom's here locally and I look forward to meeting lots more this weekend in Lindsay at the Mom 2 Mom Show!

We'll I'm working on some shipping issues on the website so I should stop procrastinating (positive as it may be) and get back to it.

Photo Contest

We're having a photo contest. We're launching a new line of cloth diapers (no we're not telling yet) and we need an image for the promotional materials. Whoever has the winning photo will win a dozen (yup 12) of our new products in your childs size :) Here is what we are looking for ... your Wee One in their cloth diaper (a Wee Ones diaper of course) - preferably with no shirt on and back to (but not mandatory). You must give consent to have the image used in any marketing materials, for the website or any other advertising / promotional purposes. E-mail your images here - jajoc@weeones.biz - please send high resolution if possible.

Contest runs until April 23rd - so get your image in today!

No Tags

So a customer sent back her diapers today - she decided she doesn't want to use them ...... hasn't even washed them ..... tried 2 ......... not the point. Anyways

So I take them out of the box, they are all there, yada yada yada, and then I look at them further!

THERE ARE NO TAGS ON THESE DIAPERS!

Not that someone took them off there just were none ever put on! Somehow I managed to make 18 diapers and not put a single tag on them - it's kind of humorous - I don't know what I was thinking or in this case wasn't thinking!

Oh well I can easily put the tags on them I just thought it was funny.

Tell me a funny something you've done!

"Coffee" & Toast

As I sit here with my "gas station cappuccino" and my rye toast with raspberry jam I'm thinking about my day, what it needs to hold, what it holds and what it shouldn't hold.

Needs to Hold:

1. I need to start making the adult diapers that were ordered last night.
2. I need to get my kids paperwork ready for school (this is our last year of homeschooling) this entails a trip to the notary public to have a "Statement of Conscience or Religious Belief Affidavit" signed - then we have to filed it at the Durham Region Health Department (this is because we don't immunize our children).
3. I need to order some new racks for my "show kit".
4. I need to ensure that my in-laws are coming tomorrow.
5. I need to do homeschooling with the 6 yr old.
6. An order of packaging materials from Uline.
   
7. Happy Kids & Mommy
8. Lots of Smiles & Hugs
   

Does Hold:

1. A very weak but still very good cup of "coffee" *see above*
2. 1 load of dishes DONE - many more to do :(
3. No kids dressed yet - but it's still not quite 9 am
4. A to do list for the new "expansion" to Wee Ones that seems a mile long.

Should Not Hold:

1. Dirty Children
2. Unhappy Children
3. Unhappy Mommy
4. Procrastination (hehe)
5. Whining
   
6. Tears

Well that's my to do list for today :) What does yours look like?

We're Potty Training !!!!!!

Yeah - just like with everything else with Alex - it's by accident! Well sort of anyways! He's now telling us PEE PEE before he's pee'd - well at least some of the time! Now he did just do a #2 in his undies but oh well he still asked to sit on the potty after I had cleaned him up! He'd already done #1 & #2 in his boxers by this time but he's asking!

YEAH - could it be that I'll actually not have to wash any more dirty diapers in a little while??

Don't get me wrong I love using cloth diapers but I HATE LAUNDRY! Even clothes I just don't like it - must be time for another baby :)

SNOW

Ok I forgot to mention it's snowing! Not a little barley even a flurry but it's actually snow out there! For the last 2 weeks my kids have been playing outside in tshirts and pants most days (our neighbors kids were even in tshirts and shorts one day it was almost 20 degrees out that day) and here today it's snow - crazy canadian weather ;) I would have it no other way!

New Product Alert -

So I've been asked to create a water wrap to carry a baby in while in the water. I'd say swimming but then that really wouldn't be possible as the baby would be under the water :SHOCK: Anyways I thought it was not only an intriguing idea, but also a very useful one so I set out to find my materials, and do some research (this was yesterday afternoon) and here today the fabric has been ordered and I'm excited about my new product :) So I'll have made up the first batch by the end of next week (or at least that's the idea!). They should retail in the $40 range, they will come in black and they are gonna rock :) Can you tell I'm excited :) I'll be sure and post pictures as soon as I've got one made :)

One of my new favorite colors ....

So I had a customer order 3 Large green covers - all different shades please - and this one I absolutely love - the seafoam color - it's absolutely gorgeous! This one is kind of in the blue / green "camp" I hope she likes it! What do you think?

Waiting for a customer ....

Well while I wait for my 3 pm customer to arrive I thought that I'd jot down a few things for today - we've sort of kind of started to potty train the 26 month old - we're slacking on it for sure (as parents I mean) we live in our basement (that's where the sewing machines are) and there is no bathroom down there so it's hard to put a potty down there - either way I will say that I do love the Traineez they really work well to hold in the accidents! Now we're having a lot of accidents and with our other 2 boys I was much more on the ball (and on the same level of house as they were) and potty training consisted of a pair of boxer shorts (NOT BRIEFS) and a potty - and 1 week worth of patience! But by the end of the week both of my boys were trained - either way that's not likely going to happen this time around and I don't have a week to just sit by the potty and entertain the grumpy 2 year old, but hey who knows maybe (haha) he'll finally decide that diapers aren't all that comfy - haha - and he'll want to wear undies - I can always hope right!


On another note - Show season starts this weekend!

On Saturday you'll find me in Mississauga at The Family Fun Show - stop by and say HI!
