My "babies" finally have cute names!

Meet the short and snappy new product names:
Solo Luxe AIO
Sprout Up OS AI2
Switcheroo Cover-n-2
Makes it easier to find what's what, doesn't it? Muddled on the differences between them? We have a chart for that! We'll be gradually phasing in these names on the hangtags and such. Since there have been some naming issues in past (ahem), I'm taking it slow on these.

Last day to save

Last day to save on Bright Star Baby!

The BLAST sale ends today - this is the last day to get all in one diapers at 15% off, diaper covers at great discounts, and matching shirts too!

New website is live!

You can find us at www.peachygreendiapers.com  We would be so honored if you would bookmark the new site. And we hope you will, because...

Preorders start Saturday!

The Peachy Green one size all in two will be open for preorders on October 1st (around 8am, I gotta have a chance to get a cup of coffee first). With one shell and a two-pack of soakers, you get two diaper changes worth of bamboo fleece goodness. This may be the trimmest one-size diaper yet. Try it and tell us what you think!

Bright Star Baby Big News

Big News #1: Bright Star Baby is changing names!

Yep, you read that right. Out of the blue, BSB got a letter demanding that we change our business name. The issue? Our business name was too close to another business' trademarked name. We eventually decided to comply - we're lovers, not fighters. So hey, life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Or in this case, peaches.

We had to come up with a new name, so we got a little crazy, a little creative, and came up with a fresh new brand name: Peachy Green! “Peachy” means excellent, and “peachy keen” means cool or awesome. We took ”peachy keen” and tweaked it to Peachy Green. After all, cloth diapers are reusable and lighten the load on landfills, so they're “green.”

The peach logo might remind you a little bit of a rounded baby bottom. And the green leaf rising out of the top is like a flag, waving because we're here, alive and kickin', and not going down without a fight.

Peachy Green AIO diapers and covers are the same as Bright Star Baby - same great fit, fabrics, and makers. The only thing that's changing is the label. Over the next week, our website will become Peachy Green. It takes a while and we have to do it "live" so you may see oddities as we transition.

We wouldn't have changed names if we weren't forced into it. But now that we are going there, we're going to embrace the new name and have a Peachy Green party! Come join us! Just head on over to Facebook and tell us what you think of Peachy Green. We're going to do some exciting giveaways, so the sooner you join on, the more opportunities to win!

Big News #2: we have a new one-size diaper system!

Coming soon - The Peachy Green One Size All in Two. This diaper system features a diaper shell that can be used for multiple changes, and bamboo fleece soakers for super absorbant natural-fiber goodness. The shell and soakers are both one-size! They adjust through sizes 0, 1, and 2 to grow with your baby.

How does it work? Start with the soaker - turn it upside down and snap it into position for size 0, 1, or 2.

Now it's set and you can leave it there until baby grows. Flip the soaker over and snap into the shell.

Now fasten the diaper onto baby - the 3 rise settings and 5 rows of waist/leg settings give you tons of adjustments! Wait a couple hours...Time to change? Snap out the wet soaker. Snap in a dry soaker. Go!

On the inside of the shell, the buttery soft microfleece resists wetness. If your baby is a super soaker, you may need to let the shell dry a little before re-use. This is easy to do if you rotate two or more shells.

The new All in Two comes in colors and prints! Preorders start October 1, with an anticipated ship date of October 10. Check our website or your favorite retailer to reserve yours.

Big News #3: get while the getting's good!

The Experts Agree...

...the Bright Star AIO Rocks!
In the last week we have had three new, positive...dare we say glowing...reviews of the all in one diaper.

"I'm really impressed with the quality" (...read more) review by Ethel Olleres of Luv My Two Girls. Photo of a size 1 diaper on Ethel's daughter Emma.

"CONS: I can't really think of any :-)" (...read more...scroll to the bottom) review by Autumn Beck of All About Cloth Diapers. Photo of a size 1 diaper on Autumn's 5 week old baby! The red diaper may look a little big but it works, amazingly enough, on this little one and on her 23 month old toddler too.

"I want this to be my only diaper!" (...read more) review by Terra Jones of Cloth Diaper Addiction. Photos of a size 1 diaper on a baby and toddler. Photos of the diaper and lots of details. Terra is offering a giveaway for a $25 Bright Star Baby gift certificate on Valentine's Day so visit her site soon to enter.

Limited Edition prints 2011 #1

Just in time for Valentine's Day and precious all year long, this pink and purple conversation hearts print is pretty and sweet. If you know someone who likes to move, Little Cruisers is the right speed: colorful cars, taxis, and sedans zoom by under sunny skies.

Pirates, Made for Each Other

  

Shirts to match our pirate diapers are in! Four colors to meet all your pirate fashion needs.

On a personal note, the Baby Pirate represents a dream come true. The Baby Pirate is a motif I developed in 2007 when I was "Painted Patootie." Back then, I was hand-painting every diaper and shirt. I thought there had to be a better way (plus I just couldn't keep up with demand). It's taken three years to finally realize my goal to bring you the Baby Pirate as professionally printed diapers and shirts. You may see other diapers and clothes made from this fabric - we've shipped 2000 yards out so far!

Multi-pack discounts

Check out our new multi-pack discounts. These are available for the new Bright Star diapers, Fishnoodles diapers, and all diaper covers. You can assort your discount across sizes, colors, and prints too!

New Year, New Diapers!

Happy New Year!

Between now and then, we are offering FREE SHIPPING on these great new diapers to anyone, anywhere! No coupon code needed, it's automatic. Free shipping offer expires January 15. Order yours now and your bamboo all in one diapers will ship on January 16 for free.

Our diapers were on TV!

A cloth diapering mom, Juliane, wrote in to her local news station and got cloth diapers featured in a short segment.

http://www.wfmj.com/global/category.asp?c=179433&clipId=5351058&topVideoCatNo=127724&autoStart=true

Although the diaper brands she is using are not mentioned in the piece, in the first shot Juliane's baby is wearing a Nantucket plaid, and in the last shot a Turtle Friends All in One Diaper by Fishnoodles.

It's great to see cloth diapers promoted on a community level. Even if the piece sought to be "balanced" and the pediatrician does not think there are any health benefits (too bad we can't leave comments!) - perhaps this story will give at least a few parents the idea that cloth diapers are a great option because they work so well and look so cute!
