Out with the old

February 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I don’t know if I’m just motivated by the super cool new thing, new direction I’m taking my biz in, but I’ve been purging and it’s been a weight lifted, I can tell you.  I’ve sold almost every fitted diaper, pocket, and AIO/2 except for a few “keepers”, that will be tucked into baby boxes, [...]
