Bundles, bundles, bundles!

The girly Bundles have been arriving. To see the new prints and their names, you can view the photo set in my flickr.

I know so many are dying for sneak peeks at the boyish and gender neutral bundle diapers. I will show you two.

This one is Nubots. When my son Henry was very small, he loved robots but for some reason called them "nubots." I had to use it. This is a new robot print, they are robots, Nubots! This is a gender neutral print. Some may argue that it is boyish but I know the last time we had a robot print every one wanted it for their boys AND girls.

The next one I'm calling boyish. Introducing, Camosaur! All I can say is RAWR!

That reminds me. In the car today, Mr. Goodmama was fiddling with the radio and paused briefly on a very loud hard rock song. Hazel piped up from her carseat, "I like this one! It's a dinosaur!"

That's how I feel about this diaper. I like this one! It's a dinosaur! I can't wait to see photos for the contest with this diaper.

More pics of more diapers coming next week. The rest of the Bundles are shipping as soon as we are back to work on Monday. :-)

If you are sad that you missed out on the Bundles, we have a third round stocked in the store. The store is down until Monday, but as soon as it is back up, you are welcome to snag yourself a slot. :-)

Have a great weekend. Remember, our email is completely down until Monday and your emails will be lost if you send them right now. Please hold them until Monday so we can help you. This is very temporary, and I don't forsee it ever happening again. Also remember, with the exception of blogging, I do not work on weekends, we don't ship on weekends and especially this weekend, Customer Service is closed due to the site maintenance.

Pollock - brought to you by the letter O. No A necessary.

I love to give our diapers thoughtful names that may require a pause to learn the reference. There's nothing better than hearing something you don't know, looking it up and learning something new about the world! I know I am nerdy this way, and it does spill over into the business.

One great example is our Pollock diaper. It was named after Jackson Pollock who was an influential and famous American abstract expressionist. You can read more about him in Wikipedia (or many other places on the web.) If you know the Olivia the Pig books, there is a reference to his work there too. Olivia saw one of his paintings in the museum and declares, "I can do that!"  She goes home and does, on her bedroom wall! Her mother, of course, is not amused.

Pollock, named after an amazing artist. And remember, it's easy to spell. Just always use Os. No A necessary! :-)

This is Matt, 11 months old, sporting his Pollock diaper. Photo taken by Nicki.

Goodmamas have good ideas

These are just some of the girly diapers we have gotten in lately. Some of these shipped with the Another Bundles, others stocked in the store.

We are finally an instock store! I hope it lasts. When you convert a friend to cloth diapering, the inevitable next step is she loves your goodmamas and wants to know where she can buy them.

Now, instead of freezing like a deer in headlights and trying to explain how they aren't actually possible to get, you can give her the website and she can get her own fluff! I'm very happy about this.

An even better thing from this is we have lots of new goodmamas. Welcome them in, remember when you were new, answer their questions, be the nicest mamas you can!

This reminds me. Please, please join the yahoo email list. We get so many questions that are already answered in this email list. You will be in the know, and isn't knowledge power?

Speaking of knowledge, look at this clever idea one of our good mamas had!

Instead of using clothespins, she snapped the wings to the sockets where the soaker goes in. Clever, right? This is one of those things that makes you go, Hey, why didn't I think of that?

This photo is of Jacob, age 1, taken by Tina. He's a lucky guy with so many beautiful diapers. There are lots of other great photos up in the store right now. As usual, there were too many to choose from, and many wonderful photos didn't make it to the site. You can join the Flickr goodmamas group to see all of the previous week's submissions.
