Photo shoot

Friday, July 28th, 2006

I got ahold of our photographer this evening to talk about a possible photo shoot. I really want pictures of babies in the diapers I will be carrying. She is very excited to do the shoot and has volunteered to find more babies! We’re aiming for the week of August 14th to do them.

Her work is amazing and her studio is out of her house. Eden Photography Check out the picture of the baby draped across his Daddy’s arms. Isn’t that amazing?

I know she has a vision of the photos and I can see a future retail store with her photos enlarged and hanging from the ceiling. Amazing, I’m not even open yet and I am craving growth.

Now to get the rest of the diapers I want for the photo shoot. I really want to make sure I get Berry Plush covers because, oh my, they are too darn cute!

Networking

Friday, July 28th, 2006

I never could have imagined myself networking but I have! I am normally pretty reserved and I seriously dislike talking on the phone. Today I phoned 3 places to either book a booth for a trade fair or book an appointment. This is only the beginning, I know, but I have definitely come quite a ways out of my shell.

I am very excited (and nervous) to announce that I will be doing a piece for Canadian Moms Talk Radio. CMTR’s first online radio show is set to air on August 9th. I cannot wait to hear it! The segment I am set to do is on cloth diapers, set to air October 4th.

I listened to the owner of CMTR (Britt Raposo) on WAHM Talk Radio in which she was promoting another of her site, Canadian Moms Online. I recently registered for Alberta Moms, an online community of mothers living in Alberta. There is a forum for mothers in almost every province. What a great way to meet other local moms!

You Grow, Baby!

Friday, July 28th, 2006

You Grow, Baby! is proud to be Red Deer’s only source for cloth diapers! Red Deer is a fast growing city with a large population of parents with young children.

The idea to open a cloth diaper store began a few months ago after realizing how difficult it was to find good quality cloth diapers in my area. I have spoken with a few moms who share that sentiment and many others who have no idea how great today’s cloth diapers are!

You Grow, Baby! is proud to be a retailer for the following products: Happy Heinys, Swaddlebees, and Jamtots. I am currently working on obtaining many other wonderful products, including pregnancy and baby gear!

Stay tuned for the Grand Opening on September 1st!
