Many apologies for not updating the blog more often!
Our website is open for taking orders! I've finally gotten the hang of printing shipping labels via Paypal for the past several months.
The turnaround time for orders has been about 3-4 business days from the time you place your order to the time I ship. Sometimes the holidays cause delays in shipping, however, because USPS is very busy this time of year! Please be patient if your order doesn't arrive right away, and if you have any concerns, please email me and let me know! I am more than happy to help ease your concerns and figure out where the delay might be.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! Our family has been very busy lately. I am developing some new products that I intend to put through testing and up on the website around March. Shooting for sooner, but I will say March to be safe :)
Thanks again all
Happy New Years wishes from my daughter and I :)

Okay, holy smokes, please don't hurt me!
I'm a little behind (no pun intended) on my orders. I've *just* finished all the orders that have been made since I re-opened my site on Sunday night.
We've had a number of family issues come up this week, and I am so very sorry for being delayed.
I'm fairly certain everything will be finished tomorrow and be shipped as well!
I just wanted to give a little update, and a big apology for keeping those booties waiting :)

Okay... So our cubes turn to liquid, despite being in boxes!
What a bummer!
I received a couple emails that the cubes were melted when they arrived to their destinations. The good news is, they aren't completely ruined. You can put the package of melted cubes in the refrigerator or freezer, then when they harden back up, you can cut them with a kitchen knife. Generally, I cut each cube to about the size of a fingernail (did you just look at your fingernails too?)...
I don't want to make them completely unavailable during the hot summer months, because I know some of you just love your cubes! Yay! That brings a smile to my face :)
However, I did make a big red attention message so my summer shoppers can decide whether or not to purchase insurance,
The other good news is that I am putting the foaming solutions, and the liquid concentrates on sale for the hot months, to encourage customers to try our other wonderful products!
And, on to the not-so-good news. Some of you may know that my daughter and I are currently going through a rough patch, as I am a single work at home mother raising my daughter 24/7. I would love to be at home with her for as long as I can, while raising and teaching her well. So I have decided to continue making Booty Cubes products as long as it allows me to stay at home with my daughter. No sympathy please - my daughter was the inspiration behind Booty Cubes and all of the products I make, so I thought it was important to share that information. Every choice I make in life, I try to make with the best interest of my beautiful, sweet little girl!
Now as teary-eyed as I am, feel that I should give a big thank you to my wonderful customers and those who have given Booty Cubes products such wonderful reviews!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I truly appreciate your patronage!

Oh HOORAY! Maybe I *can* keep shipping cubes during the hot months!
So I ordered some bulk shipping boxes (the unmarked kind so I can ship them via first class mail to provide affordable shipping) so I might just be able to continue shipping cubes through the summer!
I'm really hoping this works. I know the heat might still be a problem, but at least the cubes are less likely to get squished! Whew!
This past week I've successfully learned how to print shipping labels through Paypal!!!
Now I don't have to stand in line at the post office forever!!!
You have no idea how excited this makes me :)
I'm thinking my next plan of action will be to start using the package pickup provided by USPS, so then I wont have to physically go to the post office (except for International orders, but still, I like getting out of the house now and then so I'd welcome International orders for that very reason!)...
Today I shipped ALL outstanding orders - except for one order which was placed just before the post office closed.
So with that, ALL orders as of 8:00 p.m. PST this Thursday June 5th have been SHIPPED!
Except for jeffg...@yah...com - your order will be completed tomorrow and shipped on Saturday!
Tomorrow I will be going to my Grandma's because I want to use her big table to dye some fabrics and projects I have going :)
For anyone who is interested in seeing my past dye projects, here's a little peek at the Goodmamas I've dyed! I've dyed a lot of flats and fabric yardage as well, but wasn't as motivated to get pictures of those... Doh!
Me trying to be artsy fartsy with my camera there, and not working too well. LOL
I call these our "water" dipes, because the blue is so pretty, it reminds me of crystal clear water in a lake :)
A couple dip-dyed with variations of purple!
My daughter's lovely GM - I went a little wild on this one, but we are kind of wild :D
Here's a GM I dyed for a lovely Canadian mama recently!
Here's the one I listed on Spots Corner as an auction, to which my good friend H won :)

Long weekend! Post Memorial Day update
So everyone who ordered last week, and over the weekend, AND on Memorial day - Your items have all been shipped!!!
A few of my orders that were placed this morning (currently Tuesday, May 27th, 6:40 p.m. PST) have been shipped as well!! :D
The following orders were placed late this afternoon and have not been made or shipped:
Kathe...@gmail...com - Your order will be made tomorrow and shipped Thursday
teres...@blessed...com - Just received your order a few minutes ago, should be made tomorrow and will ship Thursday!
Whew! It feels good to be back, and have a nice new computer!
Wool wash bars are in planning, and will be in the making sometime within the next couple weeks.
I'll also be adding sample size (small travel size) foaming solutions soon, but my bottle supplier only shipped half my order so I need to get that fixed before adding them to my site.
I'm not sure what I'll be doing this summer with the heat - because when I ship the cubes in bubble mailers, sometimes they get squished when handled by USPS... Heat + cubes + USPS squishy = melted icky Booty Cube mess in a bubble mailer.
So, I'm thinking it might be best to close my website to small orders for the summer and only ship large boxed orders (i.e. to retailers via wholesale order) so my awesome customers can purchase their diapers and Booty Cubes all in one stop!
Any ideas, comments, or concerns are welcome!

Sorry folks!
Been a little busy this week, no time to go to the P.O. since Monday, but all current orders will be mailed tomorrow Thursday May 1.
So if you've placed an order with me in the past couple days, rest assured it will be going out tomorrow!
My daughter is cranky, sorry for the short update.

Oh yeah! All caught up and then some!
Hey guess what?!
It is currently Thursday April 24th; 5:32 p.m. (PST) and your order has been shipped (if you've made an order in the last day or so)!!!
Everything is all caught up! Woohoo!
I'm in the process of collaborating with a WAHM who makes cloth baby wipes (and other fun baby stuff) - she would like to send her customers Booty Cubes samples with the wipes. I'm so excited for her! She is a really sweet momma, and she has AMAZING crocheting talent! Check out some of the items she makes (click here, click here!)...
One of these days I want to make one of those cool world maps that shows little dots where my Booty Cubes have found homes. Last week alone I shipped to 3 different countries :)
Booty Cubes are available for purchase in Malaysia (her website isn't open for business quite yet), and Canada now. I also had a momma from South Africa order some cubes.
Another momma gave me some ideas for projects to work on... Getting an inventory sheet made up, so I can print it and mail it, or email it to people who are interested. Much easier than sifting through my website, I think :)
(Working on my website to make it easier to read is a project in itself since I am so TALKATIVE... are you asleep this far into my post? LOL)
The second project will be trying to figure out how to make a discount code option on my website, and a group mailing list for my frequent buyers and happy customers (i.e. my fellow cloth diaper obsessed peers).
Okay, I better stop babbling here before you start snoring :)
