Things have been busy in lil' Poo land. I took a "break" from my business. What did this mean? I concentrated on my diaper of the month club and made custom diapers. lol Not that much of a vacation huh? I am now working my way away from the constant requirement of the POTMC. While it had its fun moments it is a stress causer and steals the enjoyment away from my job. Last night I stocked some adorable swim diapers and tomorrow some custom spots. I haven't really decided whether or not I will officially announce this on Facebook or just drop hints and see whom discovers what sneakiness I have up my sleeve.<div><br /><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCIivPv9xx0OVIcUbHY2jvvDibWtBpn-3hf7TXuuMHVJgpR27dkAYvde5O2310d5_B_biiWvubywH3-5rboKN4PYhZqnCyrUM55S8fNc3nIbPk8BBXQ2aoHv-fJy8rB1bYVJ2DIc2wlaVA/s320/004.JPG" style="text-align: center;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618601413856486594" /><div> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Sometimes being a work at home mom can be down right stressful.

Sometimes I want to quit and then I get that wonderful email from a mama that just got her new diaper or I make something truly stunning and I am reminded of why I continue to do this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><div>What's up in mama land? I discovered an independent makeup company, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Madd-Style-Cosmetics/117690188289432">Madd Style Cosmetics</a>. thanks to a wonderful BBC mama and fell in love! I lost myself when we had Terry. I stopped really taking care of myself. Its been fun to take 10-15 minutes most days to do something for me. It has increased my self esteem and my husband seems to love it. And you know what... its just plain fun!!!

Josh and I have been playing in the <a href="http://www.sca.org/">SCA</a> for years but we haven't gone since the very beginning of my pregnancy with Terry. We had a great time!!! Sure its a lot of work. Sure there's the stress of keeping track of the kids and trying to keep some sense on normalcy so that their schedules and behavior is thrown way off course. BUT... it was wonderful going back to something that is near and dear to our hearts and seeing old friends. That weekend was refreshing for my spirit. I felt like me again. A person. Not just mom and WAHM. I have decided that we'll go to at least one more event this year.</div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKEph7URsCokxeqNc4pDEzBIIc0HO69M2yDlnUapc88Sm6LFlNb3DhfjHFQdiotfSsUINgDZRG0Cb5goyFrtiZykieHHVh2d7MqensdoWQCiRunj_p6Z8jjV-u1j_FrpU8SbZgV7OsnvQJ/s320/017.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618603132573255122" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /><div><br /></div><div>Coming in the near future...

The inserts that are most likely to develop these runs in a stocking type holes feel noticeably thinner than preceding Poos and the most current Poos. I am not totally sure if the February roll is also a bad batch but I am pretty sure that it is being that some responses are from mamas that received their diapers in March. PLEASE... if you have a problem let me know. My supplier is trying to get me a replacement roll and I will be spending many, many hours making new inserts to replace the ones that are messed up. I cannot replace your insert if I am not aware. Again... please send picture and approximate date you received your diaper/s to lilpooligans@gmail.com<br /></span></span></span>The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-3210698202994472492010-08-16T15:43:00.000-07:002010-08-17T12:31:45.777-07:00IMPORTANT: past and present lil' Pooligans customers please read<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-size: 10pt;" class="UIStory_Message">I have discovered a issue with my hemp bamboo fleece. </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-size: 10pt;"> I'm not sure which batches of fabric and thus diapers are affected but this is really, really frustrating. My earlier purchases and subsequent sales (August-October) don't seem to be affected but later purchases (November-February) when the rolls of hemp bamboo fabric became a bit thinner are affected. So far my most recent purchases seem to be fine but they haven't gone through as much laundering yet. So... this is what I am observing: The hemp bamboo launders fine for awhile and then it starts to develop holes and thin lines. Then all of the sudden the holes get bigger and bigger and after a couple of washes the outer layer of hemp bamboo practically disintegrates and resembles swiss cheese. I witnessed this first hand with one of my nighty nights and the inner layer of hemp bamboo appeared to be fine as you can see in the below picture. I have seen this crop up with others diapers as well. PLEASE email me with pictures and date you received your diaper/s at lilpooligans@gmail.com if you too are experiencing this same problem. I have contacted my fabric supplier and she has contacted hers. I have been asked to send her inserts that show this in its worst state. I hope that this is resolved in a timely and mutually satisfying way. I will keep everyone updated.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128); font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-size: 10pt;">Sincerely,</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-size: 10pt;"><br />A very frustrated Ange'</span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);font-family:georgia;font-size:14pt;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:14pt;" ><span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ></span><br /><br /></span></span></span><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXEgzKkbQQX28OEE1ouI01RqrjQtFzcGjW91XggxENclQGeMpMYyk9_yp0cgGdtPrFUNvwyO2wBePDsY56We01A78cjlOAf4-JnLjDcZAaNz1HelU9SmfHWYUeQe1OlpbuyQSCKrEmXCI0/s1600/utf-8BSU1HMDA4NzYuanBn.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXEgzKkbQQX28OEE1ouI01RqrjQtFzcGjW91XggxENclQGeMpMYyk9_yp0cgGdtPrFUNvwyO2wBePDsY56We01A78cjlOAf4-JnLjDcZAaNz1HelU9SmfHWYUeQe1OlpbuyQSCKrEmXCI0/s320/utf-8BSU1HMDA4NzYuanBn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506143127543388626" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);font-size:14pt;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:14pt;" ><br /></span></span>The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-79786813191456349102010-08-13T15:33:00.000-07:002010-08-13T15:37:14.366-07:00lil' Pooligans Swimligans!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEm0eXClrRoGRXVy-OOWzsFLBxtswYpCd0Ww8i_ckcNTKHZlHCcq2qj1WFXp4aKpwNUZCpbcTA3xeMaJ_EGWnIOD6VRDiuw_vLFFUlMD-mKl8oIM-eQB0xCxAzNDevfAaF_t_0iB-4NyX8/s1600/utf-8BSU1HMDEwODkuanBn.jpg"><br />Testers have been made, stocked, bought and are ready to ship out tomorrow!!!

When Dad found her she was blue, gasping for air, and totally unresponsive. According to the doctors at Providence Milwaukie Hospital, when the EMTs arrived she was dieing. They had a CT scan done and discovered that she had fractured C2 in her neck, this is the 2nd vertebra down from the base of her skull. The prognosis is not good. She was transferred to Emanuel Hospital at about 5 pm that same evening because they do not have the ability to care for her where she was.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">At Emanuel they did a repeat CT and a MRI. She is still unresponsive. The news is not good. She will be a c2 quadriplegic and vent dependent for the rest of her life and they feel that she had a hypoxic brain injury and may never wake up. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">On Friday, August 1st we are told that things are grim and that we have two choices. Begin life support by within 3 days or remove the ventilator and let her pass. Dad and I had a "easy" choice to make. Mom made her wishes very clear. We decided to remove the ventilator in the next two days, probably the next morning. A little while later we discovered that Mom wants to be an organ donor so we got the ball rolling on that. Her chart was reviewed, blood was drawn, and they did an exam to determine whether on not she could donated her organs. After this it was decided that we would go through on Sunday with everything.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">Well, she had a different idea.

Tuesday, August 5th she had surgery to put in the trach.

Her: exhausted, busy, no time for self, no time for me, etc. Me (no kids): Wow. Sorry. What'd you do today? Her: Park, play group . . .</em></p> <p><em>Okay. I've done Internet searches, I've talked to parents. I don't get it. What do stay-at-home moms do all day? Please no lists of library, grocery store, dry cleaners . . . I do all those things, too, and I don't do them EVERY DAY. I guess what I'm asking is: What is a typical day and why don't moms have time for a call or e-mail? I work and am away from home nine hours a day (plus a few late work events) and I manage to get it all done. I'm feeling like the kid is an excuse to relax and enjoy -- not a bad thing at all -- but if so, why won't my friend tell me the truth? Is this a peeing contest ("My life is so much harder than yours")? What's the deal? I've got friends with and without kids and all us child-free folks get the same story and have the same questions.</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Tacoma, Wash.</strong></p> <p>Relax and enjoy. You're funny.</p> <p>Or you're lying about having friends with kids.</p> <p>Or you're taking them at their word that they actually have kids, because you haven't personally been in the same room with them.</p> <p>Internet searches?</p> <p>I keep wavering between giving you a straight answer and giving my forehead some keyboard. To claim you want to understand, while in the same breath implying that the only logical conclusions are that your mom-friends are either lying or competing with you, is disingenuous indeed.</p> <p>So, since it's validation you seem to want, the real answer is what you get. In list form. When you have young kids, your typical day is: constant attention, from getting them out of bed, fed, clean, dressed; to keeping them out of harm's way; to answering their coos, cries, questions; to having two arms and carrying one kid, one set of car keys, and supplies for even the quickest trips, including the latest-to-be-declared-essential piece of molded plastic gear; to keeping them from unshelving books at the library; to enforcing rest times; to staying one step ahead of them lest they get too hungry, tired or bored, any one of which produces the kind of checkout-line screaming that gets the checkout line shaking its head.</p> <p>It's needing 45 minutes to do what takes others 15.</p> <p>It's constant vigilance, constant touch, constant use of your voice, constant relegation of your needs to the second tier.</p> <p>It's constant scrutiny and second-guessing from family and friends, well-meaning and otherwise. It's resisting constant temptation to seek short-term relief at everyone's long-term expense.</p> <p>It's doing all this while concurrently teaching virtually everything -- language, manners, safety, resourcefulness, discipline, curiosity, creativity. Empathy. Everything.</p> <p>It's also a choice, yes. And a joy. But if you spent all day, every day, with this brand of joy, and then, when you got your first 10 minutes to yourself, wanted to be alone with your thoughts instead of calling a good friend, a good friend wouldn't judge you, complain about you to mutual friends, or marvel how much more productively she uses her time. Either make a sincere effort to understand or keep your snit to yourself.</p><p>Quoted from : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/22/AR2007052201554.html?referrer=facebook<br /></p></span>The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-79772018582469619792010-06-24T09:41:00.000-07:002010-06-24T10:30:56.489-07:00New happenings at PooligansJune is flying by so fast! Its hard to fathom that July is just around the corner. This month ends with another round of testing, the launching of the Poo of the Month Club, and two new products. Yes, wovens have been offered before as customs but now you will be able to find these in my shop from time to time.<br /><br />First on the agenda... I am gearing up for round 2 testing my PnT AI2's as well as working on another idea that may make these true AI2's. I am hoping all goes well and the feedback is just as great as round one. I have decided that as much as I like printed PUL it sucks the big one for AI2 diapers and will only be offering hidden PUL PnTs. Now, if you find a cut of printed PUL that you just must have for a custom PnT then by all means get it. It works, its just not as well as hidden PUL. If all goes as planned... PnTs will join the regular lil' Pooligans line in July.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/Diapers/IMG_2549.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 238px;" src="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/Diapers/IMG_2549.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Next up... added to the current line are OBV I&O's and T&T wovens.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/06-21-10/IMG_2782.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 239px;" src="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/06-21-10/IMG_2782.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>These soft squishy I&O beauties have colored OBV in and out. These are so amazingly soft and squish-able. I may also decide to dive into the wide world of colored cotton velour so that I can offer these in a wider array of color combinations on a more frequent basis; as well as offering as customs. Whether or not standard OSFM Poos will have CV inners is yet to be known.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/06-21-10/IMG_2744.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 240px;" src="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/06-21-10/IMG_2744.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />On to the next note... I am also offering T&T woven fitteds. I found that I had to change my construction to prevent some obnoxious elastic issues in regards to appearance. While these look a bit different than my original Poos I promise that they are the same exact pattern that I offered before offering the same fit and function minus the aesthetic problems that drive my batty. Now, because these are a fairly new construction for me these will be offered at an introductory rate until I have perfected my technique.<br /><br />Finally... with July just around the corner it is time for the next Featured Baby of the Month and the first month of POTM. The Poo of the Month Club kicks off in just a few days. Currently there are still a couple of spots open. I will be closing this listing down come the 1st of July. There will not be another chance until December to sign up. Also, Please send those super cute pictures. Details can be found on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/lil-Pooligans/104147852954343?ref=sgm">Facebook</a>. I am looking forward to seeing all of the picture of your super cutie pies in their Poos! The winning baby receives a 40% off discount code for one standard OSFM Poo and is featured in the shop, on Facebook, and here.The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-60137425319706357802010-06-07T16:12:00.000-07:002010-08-13T15:33:17.788-07:00Oh my...

I am toying with an idea to make true AI2 diapers, and I am also toying with the idea of offering organic cotton Pooligans for those precious babies that are sadly allergic to bamboo.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Finally...</span> Price increase!!! I have adjusted my pattern in such a way to accommodate for shrinkage and provide a bit more bum coverage for those older babes while providing the same great fit on the little ones. Customs price is a bit more than pre-mades because these take more time and effort on my part. I also use premium fabrics that come with a premium price and cannot justify continuing to do business at a loss. Finally, colored OBV inners will cost a bit more than natural OBV because these are not only more spendy but also found in limited quantities. Thanks so much for your continued loyalty!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Basic Poos Price Chart</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Standard Diapers</span><br />NB Fit - $18<br />OSFM - $23<br />TD Fit - $25<br />Woven OSFM - $25 w/o snaps; $30 w/ snaps (Highly suggested to reduce wear and tear on the fabric.)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nighty Nights</span></span><br />NB Fit NN - $22<br />OFSM NN - $27<br />TD Fit NN - $32<br /><br />** Soon to come...

Death, illness, injuries, and life in general has slowed everything way down for me. It is hard to keep up when things are constantly popping up. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully it is smooth sailing from there. First I am going to reorganize my life and then I am going to work out the details on a new idea. After these new diapers are made and sent out is back to producing diapers for stockings once again. I need to get my life back in control so that it doesn't continue to get in the way of everything that I try to do. I appreciate everyone's support through these trying times. Being a WAHM is not easy. There are so many hurdles that you must overcome. They say that the first year is the hardest for a small business and this is so true. In the end I will persevere. <br /><br />~Ange'The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-11383437443673316892010-05-07T13:59:00.000-07:002010-05-07T14:04:08.249-07:00May featured baby!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/Action%20Shots/26494_1323209639297_1202520178_3080.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 540px; height: 720px;" src="http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af133/lilPooligans/Action%20Shots/26494_1323209639297_1202520178_3080.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Absolutely adorable Noah is May's featured baby of the month!

The short story... my one and only vehicle will not start, I must rely on others to get to my one and only printer, things were so nuts that no one could pick me up, and when they finally could the printer ran out of ink, and now my mother is in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism in ICU. I wish that I can rewind to early in the week and change everything but my rewind button is broken.<br /><br />Please accept my sincerest apologies for the delays,<br />Ange'The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-28207147107152001882009-11-29T22:09:00.000-08:002009-11-29T22:33:35.255-08:00Why can't I be cut a break?My car is down for the count still, I can't get to a printer, my care labels haven't be printed yet, and my poor mama is in the hospital! It is super tough to ship when you can't get labels printed OR get to the post office to do it the hard expensive way. I'm scared to death right now because my Mom is in ICU with a pulmonary embolism, aka blood clot in her lung. I want to be with her and of course I can't. Why do all of these things have to happen at once? There is no way that I can conceivably stock this week for a multitude of reasons. One of the biggest being my mother, than the shipping difficulties, and finally the printer is still down for my labels and I can't ship out diapers minus their care labels because it is against federal guidelines. WOW... the powers that be are angry with me!!! If need be I'm going to send the ones without paypal labels with my husband to the post office to be sent out on Tuesday and these that I have labels for will be picked up by the mailman. I wonder if its too late to setup pick up for tomorrow? Well, there is one huge benefit to not stocking... I am going to bust out most if not all customs this week and get them out the door!!! Shipping these will be pretty easy! I can package, hand address them, and send them with the hubby to the post office to be shipped.<br /><br />BUT... all things considered I do have something big to look forward too!!! I should have these in time to put them on my next stocking of diapers!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=f1d08d603b&view=att&th=1253bd5eaf9443aa&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=0.1&zw"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 221px;" src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=f1d08d603b&view=att&th=1253bd5eaf9443aa&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=0.1&zw" alt="" border="0" /></a>The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-6610495527055097622009-11-26T11:36:00.000-08:002009-11-26T11:45:07.620-08:00Black FridayYippeeeee!!!

It's time to re-evauate how things are set up!!!Since the time to work on only customs is quickly coming to an end its time to re-arrange how things are going to be done. So, what does this mean? From now on my customs are going to be done in very small batches while at the same time I am producing diapers for my next stocking... Say someone has ordered 4 diapers, those four diapers are going to be made and shipped before I start on the next person's order. Also, the order of completion is not based on when the custom was paid for but when they choose their fabrics and/or the SYOF arrives at my door being that I can't begin a diaper without knowing what they want or the fabrics in hand. I will continue to update as progress is made on here and on hyena cart but as a very busy mom it can be hard to be on top of updating both places and emailing as well as all of my other responsibilities; on the other hand, I answer emails quickly. Please, if you have any questions or concerns just send me a message and I will do my best to solve the problem. Being a new WAHM I am in the middle of figuring out how to be all and do all while maintaining my sanity. Thanks so much for your patience during my growth!The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823590698919412762.post-63266829540177411632009-11-09T09:19:00.001-08:002009-11-09T09:24:35.071-08:00Well,So, I have tons of fabric on the way, my plan for a purely holiday stocking is in the works, and I should begin my very regular stockings next week!!! All of this is very exciting. I am also going to be ordering woven labels for my diapers very soon and I am so excited to see my design in real life! Being that I am very busy paying catch up I am going to keep this brief. Thanks for stopping by!!!The Pooligans Mama...http://www.blogger.com/profile/14443598195322624776noreply@blogger.com0
