An Inside Look at BCD

It's been awhile since my last post, so it seems fitting to give a little biography that will partly explain my infrequent appearances.  Here is an inside look at some of the people behind the scenes at Bum Covered Diapers.

Melissa

I, Melissa, am the author of every post on the blog to this date.  I am a former middle/high school mathematics teacher and now am in the midst of a PhD program in mathematics education.  My goal after completing my degree is to become a professor of mathematics education, and to help share my knowledge and passion for teaching mathematics.  My school and research work keeps me fairly busy, but I can always find time for my other addictions--cloth diapers and sewing! 

Justin

Justin is my co-conspirator, who takes care of a lot of the business behind maintaining our web site and keeping all licensing and tax documents current.  He won't claim to know much about our diapering products, but I say he should be an expert after helping to diaper our daughter :)

Morgan

Morgan is my little 2-1/2 year-old helper, who loves to help Mommy sort and pack orders.  She also likes to help paint the base coat on orders for custom letters.  If you have ordered a set of letters for your little one, you should know how much love, care, and enjoyment this girl puts into painting that base layer!

Morgan has been a cloth baby since she was born (although we started with a mix of sposies and cloth for the first few months) and she, along with her cousin, has tested every product we sell.  She's now into trainers, so you can expect to see a growing selection of training pants as we find more brands that we like. 

Jane

Grandma Jane makes the terrycloth bibs, receiving blankets, and quilts for our store.  She sews sports uniforms for her "other" job, so you can be sure these items are sewn by someone who is very experienced with a sewing machine.  All of our handmade items are guaranteed to be high quality and will become favorites of everyone in your family.  Jane can make custom name bibs as well!

Arlene

Grandma Arlene makes several handmade items as well, but only the lovie blankets are for sale online.  If you're ever in Iowa, stop by Bradley Hall to check out her cute tag balls and blankets!  A selection of all our other handmade merchandise, as well as diapers, can be found there too.  Arlene is retired and uses her free time to visit and spoil her only grandchild :)

New at Bum Covered Diapers: Featured WAHM products

Are you a WAHM that lives in the United States and runs a small business?  Are you looking for more places to sell your handmade or handsewn baby and toddler products? If I've peaked your interest, keep reading to find out how we might help you!

As our business and facebook fan base has grown, I have had the pleasure of seeing some excellent products sold by other WAHM's like myself.  Because I am a full-time graduate student with another part-time job outside of the diaper business I have little time left for sewing or crafting.  However, I would love to offer more variety of handmade products like wool dryer balls, longies and covers, baby clothes, doll clothes and toys  to our customers.  The solution I have come up with will hopefully satisfy myself, customers, and other retailers.

I have decided to open another product category listing on our web store entitled "Featured Handmade WAHM Items."  Products in this category will be listed for only a limited time and will offer special sales for the customers at Bum Covered Diapers.  Small WAHM retailers will be able to apply to feature their products for 1-2 months in this category.  There will be no fee to retailers for listing items in this category.  All I ask is that you offer the items at a discount to our customers and that you take care of shipping your items.  

Are you interested in being featured?  Do you have questions?  Send me an email at melissa@bumcovereddiapers.com to apply or to get more information.   

Sales galore...it's March Madness!

Sorry I've been a little absent lately from the blogging world.  I promise there is another fun post in the works.  In the meantime, I just had to spread the word about some great sales happening right now at Bum Covered Diapers!

Bum Genius

Artist Series 4.0 One Size diapers are on sale all of March:  buy 2 for $33.99 or buy 5 for $76.99

Regular 4.0 One Size diapers are on sale March 17-20:  15% off individual diapers and packages

AppleCheeks

 

Save 10% on any AppleCheeks products you purchase from now until April 14th!  We just restocked and have a full line of envelope covers, inserts, flushable liners, storage sacs, and swim diapers.

Planet Wise

Save 15% off your entire order in March or April if you include any Planet Wise products in your purchase!  For this discount, you must use code PW15CDC  (Have I mentioned that our most recent shipment included some super cute reusable sandwich bags?)

 Bum Covered Diapers

For our own handmade items, I also want to make sure to mention that the price of our fitted diaper is going up in April.  Currently you can build your own fitted for as little as $6.00 (price range from $6-$9, depending on soaker and lining materials).  Now that we have perfected our design, prices will most likely raise to a starting cost of about $9.00 and range up to $13 for the most "fancy" version.  We're pretty proud that our "fancy" fitted diaper built with a microfiber soaker and microfleece liner has been rated an A+ and is on the list of best overnight diapers at Biehl Adventures.  Click the link to read her list of nighttime diapering solutions.

Also, this Saturday (March 19) will be another one-day sale for us as we host our first diaper party.  Online customers can also reap the benefits of the party on that day.  

Happy shopping, and enjoy the madness of March!

Giveaway: Flip Individual CLOSED

Here is a little information about the Flip system, taken from the Cotton Babies web site:

The Flip™ Diaper System is a flexible, hybrid cloth diapering system that provides options for every occasion. The one-size cover and three choices in absorbent inserts make diapering your baby less expensive, easy and perfect for where-ever, when-ever.

FLIP WITH STAY-DRY INSERT

A Flip diaper cover used with a Stay-Dry Insert is perfect for overnight & anytime use. Made of 3 ultra-absorbent layers of microfiber and a smooth stay-dry suede cloth that wicks moisture from your baby’s bum. Flip Stay-Dry Inserts work to keep your baby drier, longer.

Giveaway: Room Decor Item CLOSED

It's week 3 of our Biggest Baby Shower Event, and our third giveaway features more of our custom hand-crafted work.  This giveaway is good for one of our custom room decor items.  I'll describe each of the choices below and then list the requirements for entry.

Fairy Tale Wall Decor

This is a 10-inch letter, painted in your choice of colors and design.  Some I have designed in the past are painted to match themes from fairy tales (hence the name).  Others I have done to match nursery themes or just in a colorful design to match a child's bedroom.  I'm willing to cater to any reasonable request for colors and designs.  

Ribbon Bow Holders

These adorable bow holders are a favorite for little girls! The 6 " wooden letters look great on the wall, and are extremely functional, holding up to 15 bows. You get your choice of letter and ribbon! Match the theme for your child's room, or go with the first letter of their name and favorite colors...you decide!

Name Letters

Put your baby's name on the nursery wall with our 5" beveled letters! We will match any theme and paint custom orders. You choose the color and design. 

See our store for more examples of my previous work.

A Quest for the Perfect Gift

     I wandered through the baby aisles of my favorite department stores, distracted by tiny sleepers, nifty gadgets, and a huge wall of diapering products.  In my first attempt to buy a baby gift I'll admit I was totally overwhelmed by all the cuteness!  My first thought was to be sensible and buy some diapers, but the vast array of brands and sizes was enough to give in to my urges to buy an adorable little sleeper instead.  For future gifts I learned to seek out the registries first, and as I became a mother myself I got an even better idea of the most usable and precious gifts.  

     Here are two lists, one with more practical useful gifts and the other with some more creative ideas:

Practical, I think so!

1. Diapers 

  (Both cloth and disposable options usually list the appropriate weight ranges for the diaper, and you can check out reviews to discover the most popular brands.)

2. Wipes/Wipes Solution

(Again, check the reviews if you're unsure about which brand to buy.)

3. Baby Wash/Lotion/Washcloths/Towels

(Every baby needs to be clean, right?  And these are items that a Mommy could use two of if she receives duplicates.)

4. Bibs & Blankets

(Almost enough said...I will say extra large receiving blankets are nicer for swaddling larger babies.  Our terrycloth personalized bib is being modeled below by last year's photo contest winner!)

5. Any unfulfilled item off Mommy's registry

(If the Mommy has a specific list of items she needs, she will most likely have created a registry from which you can choose items she will use.  Be sure to have the clerk mark the item as "fulfilled" on her registry when you buy it!)

6. Books/Baby Toys

(As far as I'm concerned, a child can NEVER have enough books and could also use a few fun toys!  Our Melissa & Doug ring stacker is pictured below.)

7. Gift Cards

(These can be used as the need arises, which can be very helpful.)

More on the Creative Side:

1. A Medical Kit

(Not many new parents think about buying infant medicines until their baby is already sick or fussy.  Getting a bottle of Infant Tylenol, a thermometer, saline nasal spray, a "nose-picker" bulb, and gas drops would be a great starter to their medicine cabinet.)

2. Baby/Toddler Music CDs

3. A "Date Night" kit 

(Frazzled new parents can always use a baby-sitting coupon, movie tickets, and a gift card to have a nice meal out.)

4. What About Dad?

(Most gifts are intended for baby or sometimes Mommy, but a thoughtful gift for Dad is also always welcome.)

5. Meals On Wheels

(You and a few friends could coordinate a schedule and bring a meal to the house once a day for the first week or two after the baby arrives.  This was done for my family after our first child, and I REALLY appreciated the good meals with no effort on my part to cook them.)

6. A Pre-made Scrapbook

(Busy moms don't have much time to put all the photos they take into a scrapbook.  Some time for them is definitely saved if they get a gift of a scrapbook with pre-designed pages.  The idea is that they can just stick the pictures into a pre-made template.  Pre-made pages could include the first birthday, first Christmas, baptism, etc.) f

7. Gift Set with a theme

(We carry Baby Aspen gift sets that are cute, creative, and functional.  "Five Little Monkeys" is pictured to the right.)

Giveaway: Build-Your-Own Fitted Diaper! CLOSED

Build-Your-Own Fitted Diaper

 One of our newest products at Bum Covered Diapers is our custom fitted diaper.   These fitted diapers are made exactly the way you want them! You get to choose exactly the diaper that works best for your baby, and we'll sew it for you!  We will cater to almost any request, even options not listed or pictured on our site!  Prices range from $6.00-$9.00, depending on your choices in materials.

These diapers will require a waterproof cover. Plastic pants will do, or PUL covers like AppleCheeks Envelope covers, Thirsties, or Bummis Wraps will work fine. We only have AppleCheeks covers available at http://www.bumcovereddiapers.com/ at this time but will carry Thirsties covers in the very near future!

Because our pattern is so new, we're offering these diapers at a LOW price. In return, we hope that you would give us your feedback on the style, fit, absorbency, etc.

 

Outside Print

The outer fabric for our diapers is flannel, and we carry a variety of different prints and solids.  See our store for a full selection...I've put a few of our available prints in this article, and I'll search for a special print if you have something else in mind for your order.

 Soakers (sewn inside the diaper)

For this option, you have the choice of flannel, terrycloth, or even microfiber for heavy wetters or overnight.  With this option prices will vary.  Flannel soakers come with the basic $6.00 diaper, and each upgrade is $.75.

 Lining Material (against baby's bum):

Here your choice is between flannel or microfleece ($1.50 extra).  The microfleece is better for more sensitive bums, because it wicks away moisture.  

 Want an extra doubler?  Just let us know, and we'll make one for you at no extra cost!

 THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED...CONGRATULATIONS, LISA!

Our giveaway this week is a custom fitted diaper to one of our readers!  Here's how to enter (Please leave an email address with each entry so we can contact you if you win!):

1.  Follow our blog via Google Friend Connect.

2.  Follow our facebook page.

3.  Post about this giveaway on your own blog or facebook account.  (leave a link to your post)

4.  Go follow Marine Parents blog!  (They hosted another givewaway from us this month, which has since ended.)

5.  Tell us which diaper you would build.

We'll pick a winner on February 18th!  Good luck!

The Cloth Diaper Foundation: Helping to Keep Babies' Bums Covered!

This month Bum Covered Diapers is donating 10% of every sale to the Cloth Diaper Foundation, so we thought it would be very fitting to feature this amazing organization!  

Run by a small board of directors, this nonprofit organization is "dedicated to helping qualifying families all over the continental United States get a jump start on cloth diapering."  This foundation provides much needed help as families try to build a diaper stash.

And here is a list of items NOT ACCEPTABLE for donation:

• Gerber Prefolds (polyfil soakers)
• Plastic/Rubber/Vinyl pants

The Cloth Diaper Foundation has a website (http://www.clothdiaperfoundation.org) with a wealth of information available about donations and applications for assistance.  This website also provides tutorials for sewing your own diapers and covers! 




 This website also contains information about cloth diapering, recipient reviews, FAQs, Fundraisers & Sales, and Giveaways.  For those of you with facebook accounts, the Cloth Diaper Foundation has a facebook page as well:  http://www.facebook.com/clothdiaperfoundation

If you are a mama in need of diapers, or if you need to find a new home for used diapers, we encourage you to contact the staff at the Cloth Diaper Foundation!  Let us all do our part to keep those baby bums covered!

Giveaway: Newborn Little Diva Tutu...CLOSED!

     This, the first of 4 giveaways in our Biggest Baby Shower event, is the perfect gift for a little princess!  Little Diva tutus have twice the fluff as our Basic tutus, making them stand out a little more.  My daughter is at the age where she loves to pretend and play dress-up, and her new Little Diva tutu is one of her favorites when she is in a ballerina or princess mood.  Here is a candid picture of my little diva wearing her  purple and white tutu. 

     These tutus are also beautiful when used as a prop for baby photos.  Many mommies would love to receive a fluffy tutu as a gift for their newborn girl to use in professional pictures.  

     Little Diva tutus are made from about 50 yards of tulle and have a ribbon closure.   The ribbon closure has proven to be a favorite among both mommies and photographers, especially if the tutu needs to be used by several little models in the same portrait session.  

     The tutu up for giveaway here is a newborn tutu, made with light pink and white tulle, with a pink satin ribbon closure.    

This giveaway is now closed!

How to Throw the Best Baby Shower: Decoration Ideas

     Now that I'm in the stage of adulthood where my friends and family members are adding to their families, I've found myself throwing a few baby showers.  The best but most difficult part of shower planning for me has been the decorations.  This article will hopefully provide a little inspiration for those of you who have to plan a shower but also have difficulty with decorating ideas. 

Diaper Cakes

     One decoration I now consider to be an essential item for all baby showers is the diaper cake.  Whether using disposable or cloth diapers, new mommies love to have a little help financially in diapering their babies.  A diaper cake provides this help but also makes the perfect centerpiece for the gifts table.  There are many ways to make these cakes, but here is the method I typically use:  

1.  For a disposable diaper cake, I buy two packages of size 1 or 2 diapers.  I roll them up and tie them individually with a ribbon.  For a cloth diaper cake, I use inserts, prefolds, or white onesies/t-shirts.  I roll them up similarly and tie them with a ribbon.  These will form the "cake" layers.  

2.  Using a display board for a base, I glue a big cardboard tube or stack cylindrical containers up the center to put my "cake layers" around.  I usually make my cake 3 to 4 layers, depending on how many diapers I have or whether my cake is using cloth or disposable diapers.  Use your little diaper rolls to stack around the cylinder and form layers.  Tie each layer with a big colorful ribbon as you finish.  With cloth diaper cakes, I wrap a colorful diaper around a cylindrical container of the right width to form one or two complete alternating layers.  

3.  I usually put a toy or diapering accessories around the cake and on the top as a cake topper.

Here are a few pictures of diaper cakes I have done and that were done for me in the past:

 This diaper cake was done slightly differently, with the diapers unrolled.  They are wrapped around the inner cylinder (either formed by a rolled up diaper or a paper towel tube).  

 This is a cloth diaper cake, with the cloth diapers wrapped around cottage cheese and cool whip containers.  

 This was a six-layer cake, with layers wide enough to stick toys and accessories on each layer.  A marker board made up the base for this cake. 

Shower Themes

When decorating for a shower, I usually plan around a theme.  I plan table centerpieces, the gift table centerpiece (diaper cake), the cake for eating, and sometimes wall decorations or balloons.  Here are a few ideas for themes:

1.  "Noah's Ark":  You could use stuffed animals as table centerpieces, and have the ark and animals on the cake.  Colors for this theme could vary, and balloons could be tied to the animals or placed separately elsewhere.  

2.  "Baby Booties" or "Baby Blocks":  Use booties or blocks as centerpieces on the table and to decorate the cake.  Stuff booties with candy for an edible centerpiece.  Balloons could also be tied to the filled booties or blocks.  

3.  "Bun in the Oven":  For table centerpieces, have bowls with cinnamon rolls or some kind of sweet rolls as actual edible centerpieces.  Or you could use cinnamon-flavored candles.  The cake could be circular like a cinnamon roll or could be rectangular and have a picture of an oven door, or a doctor pulling a pan of rolls out of the oven.  

4.  Sometimes I just use the nursery colors or nursery theme to go with my shower decoration ideas.  If it's not meant to be a surprise, you can borrow some accessories from the mommie's nursery to decorate the tables.  

Here are a few pictures to give you inspiration:  

This last is a picture of an invitation.  Often you can get ideas for decorations based on your invitations as well.
