New tags!
Alright - now how cute are these? Around here at RockerByeBaby we are always striving to be more Green & Eco Friendly... we use recycled paper... reuse all our packaging... most of which was even recycled in the first place... we cloth diaper... we eat Organic, etc etc etc.... another big step we just made was switching over to Organic tags! They are printed with a water based ink and super gentle on both baby and the environment and will even soften as they are washed... love them! Take a sneak peek here... and slowly but surely we will get all the shop photos switched over to the new tags :)

Happy New Year: Best Of...
So - my internet bestie Brooke posted today about her "best of - 2009" and I just had to steal her idea... #1 - because i got a shout out that just melted my heart....
She was not exaggerating at all. We talk every day... if we don't, i feel a little empty inside... or to quote The Office... " it feels like somebody took my heart and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears. and at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. and then a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone. and i'm crying, and nobody can hear me, because i'm terribly, terribly... terribly alone." to wrap all that up... I love my Brookers... and she is TOTALLY the Bestest Internet Bestie of 2009...
Best Supplier:
I have spent $3,942.77 with Chenille Magic this year *whew, gulps* and thats not even the only place that i buy minky... haha They totally take care of me and i loves them :)
Best customers of 2009:
So - Im not putting $ amounts in here cuz that is totally wrong... BUT i have this awesome little chart that tells me my top 10 customers! I LOVEEE you all :) and I appreciate every little bit you have contributed to RockerByeBaby... each and every one of you has played a special role in the growth of RockerByeBaby... Ill make it up to you all someday... ;) I do want to make it known... of the top 10... 4 of you are wholesalers... hahaha which REALLY says a lot for the rest of you ;)
Izzaqs Best "slogan" of the year...
-most said comment from a 3 year old-
mama/daddy i got BIIIIGGGG POOOPIES!!
Best Party of the year...
Our wedding, duh!
July 18th, 2009
and best "wedding party" of course as well...
*see below*
Best way to entertain ourselves on a Tuesday night in Cali:
Eating Pizza & Ice Cream while watching the Biggest Loser
Best stocking stuffer:
Pedegg *shivers* gross... but amazing...........
Best Birth Control...
Copper IUD 2 years w/ no babies and going strong, hahahaha
Best customer Photo...
This was tough... because there are SOOO many cute photos of 2009 but this new one I got from Kim @ Stoopidgerl takes the cake... I actually went out and bought more fabric the SAME DAY just so I could re-list the blanket using this photo, lol
Best & Most often heard compliment:
"My kid does not go ANYWHERE without your blanket"...
also may be substituted w/ "my kid will not sleep without your blanket" There is nothing better than hearing that ;)
Best way to save money:
Move to a state w/ no friends... no family... no car (me) or babysitter... thus forcing you to spend weeks at a time in the house cooking real meals and buying booze at wholesale from costco to be sure you dont run out...
Best way to spend money:
Move to a state w/ no friends... no family... no car (me) or babysitter... thus forcing you to spend weeks at a time in the house..... shopping on the etsy..... shit.
Best thoughtful gift of 2009:
In my wedding card - my dad taped my baby ring inside... it was the ring I was wearing as in infant when I was baptized. Im sure it was a small but sweet gesture for him... but for me it meant so much that he had kept it all these years through all the drama... I put it on my necklace chain the day I got it and havn't taken it off...
and last but not least... per zaq's request...
Best hair in 2009, haha since it changes ALL the time...
I dunno... you guys pick.
Click to zoom the photo and see em all.
All jokes aside... i appreciate each and every one of you SOO much... whether you are a blog follower... friend... family... customer... spent $5 or $500... each one of you means so much. Thanks for all of your support in 2009 and we hope to make 2010 bigger and better than ever.
Lots of Love...

Thursdays Tunes: Against me! - Trash Unreal
This is the PERFECT song to bring in the New Year... You can never go wrong with Against Me! But this song... all about partying hard and makin changes... *cheers mates* Thanks for an amazing year of support... you all "rock" ;)
If she wants to dance and drink all night, well there’s no one that can stop her.
She’s going until the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor.
This night is gonna end when we’re damn well ready for it to be over.
Worked all week long now the music is playing on our time.
We do what we do to get by, and then we need a release.
You get mixed up with the wrong guys.
You get messed up on the wrong drugs.
Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn’t really plan on going.
When people see the track marks on her arms she knows what they’re thinking.
She keeps on working for that minimum,
as if a high school education gave you any other options, you know.
They don’t know nothing about redemption.
They don’t know nothing about recovery.
Some people just aren't the type for marriage and family.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone.
[x2]
She’s out of step with the style.
She don’t know where the actions happening.
You know the downtown club scene ain't nothing like it used to be.
You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world
that you could use to make the boys believe you're still in you twenties.
But they keep getting younger, don't they baby?
She’s not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege.
She can still hear that Rebel Yell just as loud as it was in 1983, you know.
There ain't no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her and she doesn’t care.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone.
[x2]
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
And if she had to live it all over again you know she wouldn’t change anything for the world.

New Giveaway: 3 winners Heathens Hearth Bath, body, & skin care
It has been no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Heathen's Hearth.
You can walk into any room w/ a sink in my house and find a bar of Heathens Hearth soap. I honestly can't even pick a favorite scent. Every time I go back - i grab a new one. At this point I have more soaps than sinks! haha. But, to choose my favorite product? Hands down the Deep Cleansing facial set for Normal/Oily skin.
Like most people my age (23) my skin has changed SO MUCH in the last few years... not to mention the hormone changes from having two babies back to back. Trying to find a face wash that kept me clear was near impossible... Lets face it... its hard being a girl *ahem...* a woman ;) Your clear for a week, then your period comes... BAM! Breakout... then by the time you clear back up... your ovulating... hormones all out of whack... BAM! breakout... or maybe your the opposite? And get really dry skin? Either way, she's got your back... I have literally tried every brand of face wash out there on the market and I could not find anything that regularly worked for me until I tried this. The Tea Tree Peppermint Charcoal face wash. And now I would be a pizza faced mess without it. I honestly & truly do not feel clean until the end of my shower when I finish washing my face.
Charcoal? Scary right? No - its not the stuff you scrape off your grill, lol "Activated charcoal has long been used to absorb toxins from your body, inside and out. It is used to effectively cleanse and whiten your skin, unclog pores, remove impurities and dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, resulting supple, delicate and smooth skin." Combine that with the Tea Tree Oils & The Peppermint & you get pure perfection. While washing, I get that amazing deep clean tingle... and when finished I feel cool & smell like mint candy :) It actually even helps my makeup to stay on. I dont know why... maybe she does? My guess would be that Im so clean and not oily that the makeup can cling to my skin rather than oils and dead skin? (maybe she will verify this for me) But it was my savior for my wedding day. My makeup went on beautifully and stayed all night until I washed it off. I was SO grateful to find this product before the wedding.
So how could she make such an awesome product even better? With the full line of products. After falling in love with the face wash, i HAD to go back and get the mask... and as I expected its just as wonderful as the wash. "Bentonite Clay, Colloidal Oatmeal, Activated Charcoal with Chamomile and Tea Tree Essential Oil have been proportioned to perfection in this improved formulation." Cool right? But it gets even better! You can mix the powder with whatever you want to (milk, cream, water, honey, yogurt, etc) to create a paste. Totally fun. The first time I used it I just used water... but since then I have used milk, yogurt & honey. My favorite of those has been the yogurt. It was cool & tingly, yet creamy, and rinsed really clean. I skin Looked cleaner, felt cleaner and it even minimized my pores & black heads... Best of all? Hubby loves it too! He said... "my skin feels so soft and smooth!" he was right... it really did!
The newest part to my skin care has been the Toner. Its been a really great & simple addition to help take care of my skin... I just dab it onto my face and neck using a cotton pad or ball when I get out after I wash my face in the shower. Keep in mind... " if used in the morning, this toner needs to be followed by a moisturizer with sunscreen"
So that it folks - the whole 3 piece line up... and it couldn't be any better. But when if comes to something like this, you can't just take my word for it, you need to try it. I have turned SO MANY people onto this facial regimen who love it as well. And this week you get a chance to win it! Not just one of you... but THREE of you!
