Labor Day Inventory Clearance Extended to Saturday!

moderndiapers — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:13:01 +0000

Sorry for the mistake to anyone who tried to use the discount code today and could not – I accidentally set the end date to yesterday. Thanks to Mary Ellen for letting me know on the blog:)

I’m extending the code LABORDAY for 20% off of your ENTIRE order through Saturday 9/12 since I know some of you may have been trying and the code didn’t work.

P.S. For anyone who has placed orders up to this point, I’m *almost* there and they should be going out this evening or tomorrow afternoon barring any crying children causing delays!

And an announcement…

It is with a heavy heart and a relieved mind that I am announcing that I am closing my store. I know my own limits and, at this point in our family’s life, something’s got to give. This business has become that ‘something.’ I feel like I am not giving my kids as much as they deserve in a day. At the same time, my customer service is suffering.

When I began this business, I had no idea what it would become. I jumped in feet first and it’s been absolutely incredible to witness the growth of this business. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a parent, someone with children in your life or someone who knows me personally. So you probably know a lot of the things that were happening with our family concurrently. Just in case you don’t know the details, since I began to develop this business in May of 2008:
-My now 27 month old turned one(and two!)
-I got pregnant with our second little one
-We moved across the country
-We lived with my parents while house hunting
-My father had surgery for cancer and had a heart attack
-We purchased our first home, moved in and had a new baby a week later.

All of this amongst the normal daily rhythms of life. Whew!

It’s been a long year for our family, and I just know in my heart that right now that’s where my undivided attention needs to be to get us settled back into a bit of a norm. You have all been such unbelievable customers and you also do not deserve anything but the absolute best that I can offer in support, suggestions and information and I feel like I’m slowly losing my grip on being able to offer that at the level that you all so absoultely deserve.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you for the incredible customers that you have been. You’ve been gracious, understanding, humourous and just plain lovely on a regular basis. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions at all. My email address that is not related to this site is lillianclaire {at} gmail {dot} com. Please, also, feel free to follow my personal blog if you’d like to still have updates on us.

Thank you again and best wishes to everyone!
Lillian

Our Stash

moderndiapers — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:53:59 +0000

One of the most commonly asked questions I get is people asking me what kind of diapers we use personally. So, I thought I’d at least give you a list. Please take into consideration that our stash is always evolving. Much less lately, but it still might be different if you ask me next week! I change my diaper loves depending on my mood(and usually depending how much work I’m willing to put into keeping them clean), so I like to have a variety from which to choose.

The evolution of our cloth diapering has been all over the board in the 2-ish years that we’ve been playing this game. I’ve definitely become more and more decidedly utilitarian as the days keep rolling. We still have a lot of variety and a bunch of things that we just have one or two of because I like to try things to be able to answer questions, but on the whole we’ve definitely changed what we have a ton over time!

Our list of what gets used…

-Flats. Oh how I love flats.

-Prefolds - Infant and Regular. We’re at the point where Nicholas can wear the regular size if we don’t mind the bulk, but the infant size are so great as stuffing for a pocket diaper, trifolding into a cover or gDiaper cover, burp cloths…the list goes on. So, even though they’re really too small, the infant size still gets very well used around here.

-Fitteds: Mother Ease One Size (bamboo), a few Goodmamas for nighttime or coverless days, a few random Boho Chic for the cute prints

-Covers: Thirsties – Mediums and Size 2 Duos, Blueberry Coveralls, Sustainablebabyish wool, LuxeBaby wool

-Pockets: bumGenius 3.0, Rumparooz G2, Fuzzi Bunz Perfect Size, Blueberry One Size Deluxe

-Other: gDiapers little gPants. Love these for when we go out! We’ve been composting the wet inserts with great success this summer, so I feel less guilty about using a “disposble” insert and it’s a lot easier on the plumbing to not flush.

What’s in your stash? Care to share? I’m sure lots of others would love to hear and it’s always fun to see what works well for others!

Congrats to Molly!!!
