Oh Crap...
In 8 months of cloth diapering from newborn stage - I have NEVER had a diaper blow out with my Goodmama's (cloth). Today. Was. The. Day... It was bound to happen eventually... but wow. I was NOT prepared for this to happen at my office! Home, sure... toss her in the bath... some new clothes and we're good to go! But I think I went through half a pack of baby wipes... and had to make her some new clothes to put on, lol The worst was I didn't even know she did it until I saw the first picture... hmmmm. what that? Ummm... Oh crap.... This is going to require both of us...

ANOTHER awesome nuby teether!
So far, there isn't a single Nuby product that I haven't been thrilled with. Nuby has so many innovative and unique teethers that make this difficult baby stage much easier to manage.
"The CoolBite™ teether by Nûby™ provides a cool textured surface for baby to bite and teethe on during teething periods. The cool resilient surface soothes and stimulates sore gums safely. Engineered with raised offset surfaces that assist in the eruption of teeth by gently massaging infant’s gums. Colorful shapes are easy for baby to hold and sized for maximum effectiveness as a teether and soother. This Nûby™ teether, filled with pûrICE™ stays colder longer than water filled teethers."
One of my favorite trends among Nuby products is that almost all of them have a textured gripper on them. From spoons, to cups, to toys... in my opinion these provide both a textural stimulation for their fingers and mouth... as well as make it easy for them to hold on to. Rozzlyn absolutely loves her new toy :)
I love those tiny little fingers wrapped around the stem. Thanks Nuby for another amazing teether! Look forward to trying out more amazing products as time goes on!

Vans Warped Tour!!
Yesterday was the Minneapolis warped tour... and it was awesome.... originally we weren't planning on going... but while Zaq was touring he got to meet the guys from Taking Back Sunday. So when we heard they were coming through we wanted to get together. Eddie and I did a little trade, and made him some clothes for his kids in exchange for the backstage passes. Awesome deal!
SO this is what I whipped up for him...
He seemed to really love what I made for him, and I hope to see some pictures soon! After the "swap"we had the whole day just to wander around... It was SOOOOO incredibly hot... but we had loads of fun...
Yellowcard, The Used, Mayday Parade, Polar Bear Club, The Company We Keep, Rise Against and more... but Taking Back Sunday was by far the best...
My throat definitely hurt after the TBS show... *thats Eddie over there on the right*
We did lots of walking... the boys did their best to grab some attention... these two? No way... they don't like attention *psssh*
All in all it was a great day... a long, hot, exhausting day... but a great day none-the-less... and Im thankful for all these guys *and gals* that keep Warped Tour alive... it can't be easy going city to city day after day in this insane heat. If you get a chance to make it out to warped tour come back here and let us know! Would love to hear about it!

I miss you...
Oh how I miss having time to blog... even when I DO blog now... I feel like all I get to do is product reviews and quick picture posts... I miss telling you about my life and pretending that you listen... all one or two of you that still pay attention ;) And I miss having that outlet to vent to... when all starts boiling over on the inside... just letting it spill out from key to computer screen. But even now, sitting here taking the time to type out this meaningless post - I find myself filtered... and not even knowing where to begin... what I DO know - is there is definitely not enough time nor space to write it all out... all I wanted to say is Im sorry for my absence... Im doing my best to get back on my feet both in the blog, store, and life and I appreciate everyones patience while I do that... I have the most amazing fans and customers anyone could ever ask for...
