Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all for the encouraging words to Amber last week. I have had a TON of emails and PMs encouraging giving the WAHM's the LOVE they deserve!!

Okay I won't make you wait to much longer, its time to see who got the $5 coupon to Amber's MUDSHRIMPS HC STORE!! drum roll please....................................CONGRATS to Jennie I will email you with the details! ;) Thank you to everyone who participated and I encourage you all to enter this week!!!

Thank you also to Amber for all the sweet comments and for being my first featured WAHM!




Yep you guessed it I am featuring another one of MY favorite WAHMS. Some may say SELFISH, to them I say NO WAY if you haven't met this WAHM goodies yet you will THANK me later!
I can thank this mama for my love affair with cloth wipes. She has the largest rainbow of dyed bamboo, sherpa, and terry I have seen! Her flannel selection is just so much fun to browse. She makes more then just cloth wipes though you can order a ton of things from unpaper towels, family cloth, burp cloths and facial wipes-Es just to name a few!, This WAHM's attention to detail is unmatched. On top of all this she has to be one of the sweetest mom's in town!
Here are some of the yummy goodies we have from her...


Who is this I am talking about? If you have not guessed yet its Sarah! From Eli's Wipe-Es, and here are some fun tid-bits to get to know her a little better!
Here she is with her ADORABLE family! The little guy is the famous "E" of Eli's Wipe-E's!

LOL Sarah must have gotten busy with her wipes because she forgot the last one! ;)



What are favorite projects you have ever worked on?
Kind of a hard one as I primarily make wipes. I did make some dance outfits for my girls and this year I got talked into making one costume for my oldest daughter. She's in competitive dance, so they're quite elaborate. So we'll see how I do :)



I see you are into FABRIC as well can you show us fabrics that best represent your work?
I love dying fabric, it's so much fun to start with someone that everyone else has and make it bright, fun and original. My girls love helping me dye. My oldest wrote on her kindergarten homework her favorite thing to do with Mommy is "watch her die" Yes, spelled just like that.
I think my wide assortment of flannels, dyed sherpa and bamboo velours best represents my work.


Tell me tips you would give to anyone wanting to be a WAHM?
Keep your product quality consistent. Don't send out something you wouldn't use yourself in hopes the customer won't notice.
And be friendly, not just to customers but also to fellow WAHM's.


What is the thing that inspires you the most?
All of my kids. My sweet Eli, he's always so happy, I can have a really bum night where my serger is acting up and I spend so much time remaking things. I go upstairs and he's always got a smile and giggle for me. And my girly Kaitlyn and Genavieve. They're so much fun and so into my sewing. They love going to the fabric store, helping me find fabrics, and wash/dye material. My oldest is already begging me to get her a sewing machine when she turns 7 so she can sew wipes like Mommy. How inspiring is that? :)

Thank you so much Sarah is there anything exciting or NEW coming up in you business you want to share?
I have been asked to join a congo! I'm not sure if we are releasing the domain and info yet, but keep watching ds as we definitely have a great group together.

Thank you again Sarah! Now her products are very popular so be prepared to wait (currently about a 4 week turn around) but worth every moment!! As I told her GREAT things are worth waiting for and let me tell you, you will NEVER regret a purchase you make with Sarah!

Eli's Wipe-Es is kind enough to offer one of my readers FIVE free wipes on your NEXT $20+ order!! This is an AMAZING offer so if you want to be entered to win this please leave a comment along with your email address in the comments section! THANK YOU!

And don't worry some more summer pictures as promised!




Thank you for stopping by! See you next Wednesday!

Summer Break is almost over!

So its time to start bloggin again!!! Thank you all for coming back to take a look at some things we have been doing over the summer. Over the next couple of days I hope to re-cap some fun things we did this summer! First and foremost its been an amazing couple of months, we have really grown together as a family which is always an awesome thing. I am so thankful for them.
We left off right before we went to D-I-S-N-E-Y! It was a blast!!! Jaden loved pin collecting and Addy LOVED the characters. Its always amazing to see Disney from their eyes! Because pictures are worth a thousand words....






Okay you might have noticed some changes! Well I am excited to be working with some of the work at home moms who make diapers and other "green" products in making logos for them! It has been a lot of fun and I look forward to each and every logo that is created! My little thread is over at the diaper swappers forum and is called criss cross applesauce. My background in early childcare lends itself easily to this fun title! ;) One of the things I wanted to do with this is to get the work at home moms AKA= WAHM, some LOVE!!!!!!!!! They work so hard to give us earth friendly products at a reasonable price! So each Wednesday I hope to feature a WAHM. So check back for more goodies!



This week I am featuring one of my FAVORITE WAHMS Amber from Mudshrimps
Here she is with her adorable family!~


Let me just tell you a little something about Amber. NOT ONLY are her products TOP NOTCH, but she has the BEST customer service around. You will always open her packages with a HUGE smile on your face, this is a promise! She is on top of her emails like none other and is just all around one of the sweetest mamas in town!
We have many products from Amber but she is most famous for her diaper covers. They are so stinkin cute and if you get to order a custom and browse her fabric gallery you will be lost for days in there, shes a fabric addict! So many yummy prints!

I interviewed Amber to give us more insight on her creativity...

What are favorite projects you have ever worked on?

By far my favorite project was a really, really big diaper. I won't elaboarte but it was fun. I always enjoy getting put to a challenge and dared into things ;).
Then this diaper. It was one of my first appliqué jobs and I think it turned out awesome!
Next would be this set. It had tons of meaning and was for a mama who's sister is battling breast cancer and she wanted to show her support for her =).
Last but not least is pillow cases. You are probably wondering why pillow cases, well you see here my husband is always asking for me to make them for him. They are the simplest things but he sure does love them. Whatever makes him happy.

I see you are into FABRIC as well can you show us fabrics that best represent your work?

Tell me tips you would give to anyone wanting to be a WAHM?
Not to give up is the most important thing. Also always remember your reasons for becoming a WAHM.

What is the thing that inspires you the most?
Not just one thing, but 3 little things....my boys. They are the reason for the whole existence of Mudshrimps!
