Sign up, You Know You Want To....

If you ask anyone who knows me decently well, they'll affirm I'm not one for technology. I eschewed the smartphone as long as I could (and I'll admit, I do love the one I finally got for the business). I still love my Pink iPod (circa 2005). My undergrad laptop is still in storage, just in case I get the energy to rescue all of the files to a more current storage device (yeah, I know zip drives are so last decade). 

But guess what folks? I've finally added a subscription feature to the blog! That's right! Get the Bitsy Buzz scoop delivered directly to your inbox. At the right >>>> you'll find a sign-up box (labeled 'Get Bitsy Buzz Updates Via Email'). This will keep you in the loop with all that gets published to the blog - including special stockings, sales and the cloth diaper 411. 

Don't confuse this sign-up with the mailing list (labeled 'Get the Itsy Bitsy Bums Newsletter'). The 'Newsletter' signup is a direct-mailing list that I use 1-2x monthly to send out the lowdown on what is new in store, soon-to-be in store, and other goodies. 

But of course feel free to signup for both. 

Now who'd like to join me for a game of Oregon Trail on the IIe? 

Abby's Favorites: Week 4

The last week of Favorites has arrived. And why should diapers have all the fun?

And? The Sandwich Wrap doubles as a placemat! Brilliant!

Why else do I love them? With fifteen prints and three styles to pick from, you are sure to find the perfect option for you and your family. And so easy to care for - we just wash ours with evening dishes and hang to dry. 

Want to love them along with me? Through April 30th enjoy 25% off of all Planet Wise Snack and Sandwich Bags and Wraps. Not valid on previous purchases. No code necessary - discount already applied. No limit per household. Sale price limited to inventory on hand - shop early for best selection. 

Bitsy Bunny Hard at Work

Just a couple of hours until the search begins, and the bunny is hard at work hiding 20 eggs through the land of Itsy Bitsy Bums. 

Hints are always nice, yes?

• $5-$10 eggs are hidden one or two clicks off the homepage
• $10-$15, $15-$20 and $20-$30 eggs are hidden one to three clicks off the homepage
• The $50 mother-of-all-eggs is four clicks from the homepage. I will periodically post clues on Facebook through the weekend until it is snagged by one lucky hunter. 

Is all of the above Greek to you? Checkout this post. 

Happy Hunting, and Happy Earth Day!!!

ps. Check out Google's Logo for the day (be sure to move your cursor over it). Love it!

pps. Did you know you can explore the Doodle Logo archive? See here.

Abby's Favorites: Week 4

I'm sad April is almost over - time has certainly flown by! With the end in sight, it is time for the final favorite.

Your hint: Why should diapers have all the fun? 

See you tomorrow!

You Are Cordially Invited to Go Hunting

What?

An Easter Egg hunt in honor of Earth Day

When? 

Friday at 10am CDT - Sunday 10pm CDT

Where? 

Itsy Bitsy Bums

Why? 

A. It is fun 

B. The swag

C. The thrill of the hunt 

D. All of the above. 

How? 

Beginning Friday morning, several 'eggs' will be hidden through the website. 

These eggs will be marked by a golden egg, with a shopping cart button beneath.

To claim your prize

Add the drop-down item to your shopping cart. 

Spend $25 (before shipping). 

If you are the first to 'purchase' that egg, it is all yours!
Egg prize values range from $5 to $50.

Oh wait, want to maybe hunt for a bigger egg? But what if someone snags the one you found in the meantime? Oh friends, that is the fun part. 

Say what? 

In other words, each hidden egg represents one prize. If you are the first person to purchase it, then it is all yours. 

There will be many, many eggs scattered through the website.
Easier eggs will be smaller prizes. Motherload prizes will be much, much harder to find. 

In review
Friday 10am - Sunday 10pm Central Time
Dig through the website. Some eggs will be in plain site, while others will be accessible via link only.
Find an egg, decide if you want to claim it.

At checkout, be sure to include your baby's gender and approximate weight, or the bunny might to forced to go on his own hunt to track you down. 

Fine Print

• All purchases and prizes will ship when the hunt concludes.  
• I will do my best to mark eggs that have been found. However, we have a busy holiday weekend ourselves so I will not always be online to make these updates. If an egg has been purchased, you will get an 'out of stock' notice at checkout. This alert means someone else has claimed that particular prize. 
• Prize values range from $5 to $50. You will know the approximate worth of your egg, but will not know the exact item until you open your package next week. Yup, like a real hunt. 
• Limit three 'eggs' per household. Each 'egg' must be purchased on a separate transaction. 
• I am happy to refund any purchases, as always. However, after you have purchased three 'eggs' any subsequent 'eggs' purchased will be removed from your order and rehidden. Aka. Please play fair. Decide which egg you want to 'claim' and make your purchase. Do not purchase ten eggs to try to get bigger and bigger prizes. The bunny does not take kindly to cheaters.  
• Note - it costs you a penny to purchase the hidden egg listing. I promise to refund this to you when I ship your purchase.

Abby's Favorites: Week 3

Favorites month continues! Your next hint...... 

Isn't it always sad when your favorite fish swims away? But then again, sometimes another star comes along that makes it all better. 

I call this the cat-who-swallowed-the-canary look.
