Wow! We just got inundated yesterday with deliveries! Eighteen boxes!!! (Does anyone need moving boxes?) We've still only got about half of it all dealt with. And more came in today that hasn't made this list yet.

• About half of what came in is restocking of bumGenius! diapers. Both the One Size 3.0 Pocket Diapers as well as the Organic All-in-One Diapers. We were out of a couple of colors (sorry) of these and were extremely low on half of the remaining colors.
• Most of the rest of yesterday's packages contain ERGObaby Carriers and accessories. The most anticipated and most exciting of these is the new Heart2Heart infant insert. We also got several new colors and ERGObaby expanded their offering of colors for their orgainic line. We also like their redesign of the Carrier Back Pack.
• The remaining patterns of the Hooter Hiders are in.
• Several small additions to our Imse Vimse offerings:
  • The Organic Cotton Covers are now available in the Farm print.
  • The Soft Covers are now available in snaps.
  • By popular demand we now have Imse Vimse liners.
• Hotslings Adjustable Pouches are in!
• Bummis Fleece Liners. These are made from 100% recycled polyester.
• Rump*a*rooz One Size Pocket Diapers. Can anyone say 'poop scoop'?
• Not from ABC, but still relatively new, Mommy's Touch Changing Pads.

We're going to be filming a commercial in the upcoming weeks and we're looking for 3-5 couples who would like to be on TV. We will be portraying one of Lauri's Cloth Diaper 101 classes and are hoping to have a mixture of couples who are expecting and new parents 'taking' the class. There will also be shots of the store with customers. There may be an opportunity for a close up of a baby wearing cloth diapers.

Shooting is tentatively set for Thursday, October 15^th. We are just asking if you are interested to email Lauri. We will then keep in touch with you about scheduling and other details.

With the addition of so many new products lately, we're having to discontinue some other products. So we're clearaceing out the following items:

• Heiny Huggers
• Happy Heinys X-Small & Small pocket diapers. Since we're carrying Happy Heinys Mini One Size pocket diapers which cover the same size/weight range as the two sizes combined and are the same style of diaper by the same manufacturer we decided this was a little redundantly redundant.
• As mentioned in a previous Newsletter, we're replacing our line of JussTinCase nursing coverups with Hooter Hiders by Bébé au Lait.

We decided to participate in the Des Moines' Best Coupon Book. This is the first year for this homegrown coupon source featuring savings from the best locally-owned businesses.

You can find a coupon for 20% off a single item* or $20 off a purchase of $100 or more* (*sorry, but diapers, covers and trainers are excluded from this offer) from Little Padded Seats as well as over $3,000 worth of discounts from other locally owned business.

You can find this coupon book on sale at Little Padded Seats. At $20 it will pay for itself when used for one or two purchases at your favorite local businesses.

I've been called out. A customer came in a couple days after the last newsletter and pointed out that I had the link for the locally made Sweater Balls by Handmade Pretties sending people off to the place holder for Smart Mom Baby Bling instead.

I'm sorry for any confusion.
