Growing Pains!

Growing Pain ... Ouch!

by Meaghan Munroe Primm on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 1:41pm

Growing Pains... for those who haven't noticed, we're having some! I've kept so busy with custom and local orders that I've not had time to keep instocks up. Add to that several wholesale requests and a rapidly growing need for space for my sewing room/product/rough materials.... and I wanna scream (several times a day actually - my family still loves me, lol) as there is just one of me.

So, why am I announcing this!? ... We are working to resolve this annoying issue of not maintaining instocks. If you're like me you like to know how annoying things are going to go away; if you're not like me then disregard. :-D

1) Buying some time: I will open up the new custom PUL prints tomorrow as planned through next Saturday and then I will pull my custom listings until April 15th. Instocks will remain up until sold. I will be finishing up customs for the next 2 weeks and then have 2 solid weeks to get all my instocks back up to snuff. These 3.5 weeks will give us time to sort through details of how to manage wholesale orders, instocks, customer based custom orders and ... the website.

2) Getting Help w/Production Components: We are working with two local mamas at the moment, one doing my snaps for instocks (she is simply awesome BTW) and one making soakers. I am trying to find another two to help with either more soakers and snaps or ??? This will help me in a big way! This aspect *will* stay local and it *will* stay small - keeping with my goal of moms being able to work from home to help support their family.

3) Getting even more help: I have a friend's daughter coming in (starting tomorrow!!!) two afternoons a week to help watch my kidlets so I have more sewing time without feeling totally guilty and negative because I stuck them on the boob tube for 2 hours trying to steal that time!

4) I am learning that I have to say no, lol. Always sucked at this concept ... I say yes to just about every custom inquiry and in order to be able to provide time for instocks, I will be reformatting how I accept customs. This will likely mean that there will likely be a limited # of custom slots each month.

So, thank you for hanging in there with me! Please don't hesitate to email me. pnpbaby@gmail.com

Summer is nearly over and gone! If you are in our lovely city of Spokane, WA please come down to Riverfront Park this Saturday (August 21st) for the Unity in the Community Event! They'll be numerous booths and vendors surrounding the clock tower...I believe they'll even be live music! Bring the whole family from 10-4!

Kiddo #1 is doing pretty well, lol. With all that has been going on we've taken on a few more therapy appointments and a side effect - on me - of everything is heavy emotional exhaustion. I am taking a vacation, at home, lol until September 13th.

*My website is not stocked for immediate purchases....you *can* see all my product, but cannot add to cart

*We'll be participating in a number of local events so join us and shop in person!

Times of chaos... the silver lining

2010-05-01T14:05:00.000-07:00

While driving this morning the DJ said something that just clicked with me and I want to share it. First though let me start by saying we've had one of the worst weeks. Our family experienced a devastating and saddening issue Sunday last week and it seems that all week long it just keeps going.

We are a licensed foster family, so of course I had to notify a bazillion people as to what occurred, and all week we've had to meet with with social workers and therapists. We are living under the confines of a safety plan that no normal functioning family could possibly follow... especially in a FOUR level house with FOUR children (yes, I've already looked into any free cloning clinics - I need about 4 of me :P ). "Ok, mommy has to go potty now...um...well...hmmmm??? Never mind, I'll just tinkle in a cup right here in the family room. ????" Seriously its nuts. Saying its been stressful, emotional, depressing is putting it lightly. Its absolutely unreal.

On top of that we've had just little stupid things happening; things that alone would be nothing. Yet, this week they feel massive. The alternator in the van went out - whoop, whoop!! for a 1997 electric car that has to be plugged in and has a limit of 5 miles! The dryer had some minor repair, Olivia has had an unexplained rash that comes and goes - the doc says it could be stress related, poor kid! - and then last night the garbage disposal died which has left this fantastic pukey type substance filling my sink. Nummy!

Does it ever feel like you're just being attacked!? I'm so there! I'm thinking a dirt floor hut in the middle of nowhere sounds pretty darn good right now! Yeah, especially 'cause that will eliminate the "how can mommy go pee and supervise" issue. Nice!

Through my devotions this week though I've been reminded of several things...things that put my heart at ease (and momentarily make some of the sarcasm depart from my sinning little lips, lol).

God is our Powerful Sustainer - "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15

Even when the world around us is going bazirk He is in control and we know that through Him who gives us strength we can do all things.

God can Transform Hearts - "God works all things for good." Romans 8:28

Just as the spring rains transforms our sleepy barren lands into lush, colorful and beautiful landscape, God takes that which we can see little hope and transform it. Things that seem impossible become miracles.

God is our Refuge - " Trust in Him at all times. Oh, people, pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." Psalms 62:8

Even in times when it would be so easy for me to turn my back to God, I won't. He is in everything. He can either calm the storm or He will give me the strength to endure the storm.

Now, back to what the DJ said... just like spring comes in the midst of harsh winds, rain and fluctuating, unpredictable temperatures....just like under labor bones grow stronger... or the forest is allowed to restart and thrive only after a devastating wild fire WE grow in times of hardship. Yes, this is a 'duh' thought, I know. But so often we forget to SEE it. In times of trouble and chaos we just flip out right along with it. The reality though is that adversity, hardship, and mounting issues we are given a great classroom for our hearts and souls.

What's really important becomes more obvious. We become more creative, more apt at problem solving. People come together and show true love - the real love. Things fall back into place, sometimes even a better 'place' than they were before the chaos.

While I wish that a few things hadn't happened this week, I also must fully admit that I believe because they did, things will fall into a better place.

May all who are struggling with hardships right now know that you are in my prayers... know that you're loved, and keep your head up. For if you're too busy spazzing out with the dysfunction or too busy looking down you just might miss the good things that will come from it.

God Bless!

April's Challenge! Win a Free Diaper!!!

2010-04-06T12:40:00.000-07:00

Each month, I post a challenge. Most of my challenges will in some way be benefiting others around your or even your community - basically, "lets make our world a better place!"

For April I want to challenge you to find a way to better our earth. The kids and I recently went to the park on a non-hail/snow day (gotta love spring! :~P) and picked up over 3 FULL bags worth of trash! Now, you don't have to pick up trash, but maybe you and your family are helping your community start a recycling program, or have planted several trees. Perhaps you and your kids are finding creative ways to reuse items that would otherwise be tossed out. Or maybe in place of driving to the library, you and your little ones chose to walk instead. Who knows! Be creative!

Tell me about your way of helping our earth this month! If you have a photo, that's even better!

Rules: Your blog comment MUST contain the following:
1. state how you and your family met the challenge (please actually do something to meet this challenge, the goal is to help our earth be the best it can be!)
2. post your First Name, Last Initial OR your HC user name in the blog entry! ( I need to identify you somehow!)
3. post a link of your favorite eco-friendly PNPBaby item (I'll use this as a guide to choose your free diaper/item! :) http://www.pnpbaby.net/

~If you have a photo of your family doing your challenge, feel free to email it to me - I'll post them to blog! primmnproperbaby@yahoo.com

~The free diaper cost the winner nothing and will ship for free within the US. If the winner is not from the US, I do ask that exact shipping be paid by the drawing winner.

~Winner will be randomly chosen May 1st, so be sure to check back if you enter!!!

Let me know if you have any questions!
primmnproperbaby@yahoo.com

**Have fun** and thanks for helping make our world a better place!

Where it all happens!

2010-04-05T09:37:00.001-07:00

PNPBaby is a WAHM (work at home mom) run business. I've had several emails over the last couple of years asking about my sewing room...here it is. Its not much, lol. I recently swapped rooms with the boys' giving them the large 16 x 13 bedroom and cramming my entire sewing room into the tiny 9 x 12 room - ahhhh! :) Its tight, but it works - enjoy!

I keep waiting for the folks at IKEA to send me a $1000 gift card ;0) - oh, how pretty and organized my sewing room could be!

Storage, storage, storage! If only there were more of it!

Just a thought... and encouragement, especially for those with special needs kiddos

2010-03-21T19:56:00.000-07:00

I wouldn't normally post this type of post on my business blog, but I really feel drawn to do so tonight. This post is for all the mamas (and papas) out there who are weary and exhausted. All those who feel that they aren't all they should be or could be in regards to parenting. Those who feel let down because their dreams of parenting aren't the way they thought they would or should be. I'm there with you, struggling; often feeling like I'm flailing in this stormy ocean called parenting. Often searching to figure out why it is that we 'do this'. I just thought tonight that there are likely others out there feeling my feelings, and I want you to know you're not alone.

For those who don't know, all four of my kids were or will soon be adopted out of the foster system. They are freaking AMAZING children, please, don't let me let you think I feel otherwise. But they are hard children to parent.

I often feel like all I do as a mom is try to redirect, predict and prevent, repair and search for appropriate consequences so that one day, these kiddos will manage themselves and lead happy, full and functional lives. I won't lie, it wears on me something fierce. I feel like my brain isn't mine, it is divided out between the 5 of us as if every thought must first go through my mind before it can reach the children's'.

The past three weeks have been exceptionally hard. I'm not sure why exactly. I do realize that we are in the 'third quarter droop' in regards to school...I personally am SO ready for spring break. We also though are dealing with cuts in support from the state. Little Man (my now 7 year old) has an aide that is with him at school so that he may attend in a regular 1st grade classroom. At the beginning of March we were told the aide would only have 3.5 hours a day with Patrick based on budget cuts. This is heartbreaking. I feel like every time we find something that actually WORKS something happens that causes it to go away. I'm told we can get her hours back so Little Man will have the support he needs at school, but to be honest I'm so flipping tired of fighting. Fighting for things my kids and family need to have a *chance* at being functional and breaking the cycle that they had no choice to be born into.

I fight daily the fight for my kids. I want them to have the lives they should have been given all along, but weren't. I can't fix things that happened to them, I can't make it go away. All I can do is live in the now....today. I don't know that Little Miss (7 year old) will ever have healthy relationships, I'm so damn scared for her. I fear that my oldest will continue on his path of behaviors he's perfected over the last 10 years...and that once in society he'll fall. It seems fear is a main theme lately.

And then there's me. I actually feel bad for myself, as disgusting as that sounds. My main goal in life from the time I was a young child was to be a wife and mother. And I'm ashamed to say that it is not the way I wanted it to be...I feel let down. This is a thought life battle I'm constantly fighting.

Wow, majorly unprofessional right!? "Why is she posting this on her business blog?" I know there are some out there fighting the emotions and feelings I am, and my biggest help in the battle is knowing that I'm not alone, that I shouldn't be ashamed of my feelings, but rather to work through them. That its OK, yes OK, to discuss them!

Tonight was Little Man's 7th b-day party. We went to Chuck-E-Cheese (I'm quite certain C.E.C. is just a little glimpse of what hell might be like!). My kids... MY kids were amazing. They were well mannered, respectful, polite, helpful and left without a problem. Even though earlier today we were dealing with aggressive, and hard core behaviors from the boys and an all out drama girl boycott from Little Miss, for just a moment in time I was given the glimpse of my dreams. THIS, these kids learning to live life and LOVE living life, is why I 'do this'. Everything I pour into them, completely draining myself of everything, is worth it. Even though most of the time it seems like nothing is sticking - all in one ear and out the other - its actually filed away...and they are starting to really USE it!

So, to anyone who is struggling with parenting, I'm sending a huge hug that will hopefully encourage you to step out of the frustration, exhaustion and fear long enough to see that you *are* enough, you're doing a good job, and all you do is absolutely worth it. Parenting is so hard, especially when you add in additional factors like special needs or rocky histories.

YOU can do this. Its a daily battle, so just take baby steps. One day at a time. Just remember to seek out the amazing moments, let them fill your cup to overflowing so that you can endure another day with strength and endurance. And, you're not alone.

God Bless!

More photos the Wool-In-Two

2010-02-24T14:46:00.000-08:00

The Wool In 2 Diaper is made from 2 layers of felted wool jersey
An outer layer of colorful jersey if you prefer and an inner layer
of natural colored merino jersey.

On the large rise setting the WI2 should fit nicely on most
babies from around 18-20 lbs up until 30-35 lbs
This will depend upon the shape and build of the baby.

To lower the rise (seen above and below) simply fold down the front
of the diaper. The lower rise setting should fit nicely on babies from
approx 10-12 lbs up until 18-20 lbs depending upon build.

The inside of the WI2 diaper has 2 snaps that allow the soaker
to securely snap in.

The extra long, trim snake style snap in soaker allows you
to customize the placement of absorbency.

(ABOVE photo)
For a heavy front wetter, fold the soaker so that
there are 12 layers in the front of the diaper with the contour in the back
For a heavy mid wetter (typically walking girls ;) fold the soaker so
that there are 12 layers right in the middle of the soaker where she needs it
Or, simply fold the soaker in 1/2 to provide 8 layers of absorbency throughout.

If more absorbency is needed, add a doubler (4 layers).
The doubler simply lays in under the snap in (its slightly shorter)

Diaper shown with the snake soaker (ABOVE)
Diaper shown with the booster only as a 4 layer lay in soaker
for the smallest of babies.

The WI2 is made from my Trim-Fit pattern which is nice and
trim through the crotch with a lower rise designed to fit under
the baby 'belly buldge'

Double Stuffed WI2

2010-02-07T14:56:00.000-08:00

The Wool In Two (WI2) Diaper Double Stuffed for nighttime! Modeled by 2.5 year old Miss "L" who is 37" tall and 30 lbs as of this morning. Because of the slight and gentle stretch of the wool jersey she's able to wear the diaper double stuffed on the same snap settings as regularly. She still has plenty of growing room in the waist and the diaper fits perfectly under her belly buldge. :)

Another amazing WAHM!

Courtney is probably one of the most amazing and inspirational women I've ever met over the internet. We are an adoptive family with four kids. Courtney and her hubby, The Rockstar, have 6 biological children and have adopted 4. Amazing.

I so wish that I could fly out to meet her. To live a day in her life...hmmm, really a week. I want and need to know how this everyday mama can do all that she does. Did I mention that she home schools!? Really. Courtney, could you tolerate my company for a week!? :)

In addition to wife-ing, and mom-ing and being her kiddos' teacher she also has started an Etsy shop with all of her amazing photos! Take a peek, I'm certain you'll be amazed!

A Wool-In-Two...

2010-01-29T12:27:00.000-08:00

Now that my own daughter is nearly 2.5 years old and pees like Niagra Falls, I've been struggling to find a better solution for her diapering - more absorbency, less bulk for a very busy toddler. This is what I've come up with and I'm loving it! I've played with both Wool Interlock and Wool Jersey. I felted both fabrics before sewing with them, and then lanolized as well.

The double layer interlock is great for night-time, its super soft and stretchy, but its bulkier than the jersey. The double layer jersey AI2 is amazing for daytime (and she made it through the night once...more testing is needed, lol, before ok'ing it for night time) and its sooooo trim!!! I love it!

Take a peek!

2009-07-29T08:17:00.000-07:00

Every baby is different and even one baby's overnight absorbency needs will fluctuate as they grow - this system provides all you'll need to keep your little one in cloth overnight from around 10 lbs to 30/35 lbs.

Snappiable Cotton French Terry Outer

With the Regular Snap In (9) layers and the NB Snap In/Booster (3) layers, the fitted itself provides 17 layers of absorbency.

For older infants use the regular snap in without the booster for a total of 14 layers.

For younger infants use the NB insert/Booster snapped in and the lay in booster if needed for a total of either 8 layers or 11 layers.

This is a fitted and is not waterproof. For the ultimate in night time diapering pair this fitted with a good set of wool shorties or longies. My favorite pair is from RCarver on www.diaperswappers.com.
