Red Sara Nursing Bra & Panties Set by Nummies - Weekly Giveaway

Happy Friday!  I really enjoyed reading all of the survey replies last week, thank you so much for taking the time to fill those out.  I thought you might enjoy knowing some of the responses that were gathered so I have included that info for you below.  Also, you guys clearly loved the my little seat, baby bonkies and bonkie bag items so I have some Bonkie Bags ordered for the website.  I was told that the Bonkie sleep sacks have some improvements that they will soon be doing to it so they suggested that I wait a bit to get those.  A sample Little Seat is on its way to me to check out in person before I decide for sure on them but if they look to be a good quality item, I will put them on the list to add as well.  I also wanted to thank you for the many, many kind comments you left regarding what you like about Mom 4 Life.  You were very helpful as well in some of the comments you left about what you didn't like (and thankfully there wasn't much that you reported).  Overall, several of you mentioned that our search box on the website and/or your ability to choose how many products are displayed per page could be better.  In addition, some of you mentioned that the "new items" link has too many pages.  I couldn't agree with you more.  All of these are things that unfortunately I can't fix in our current system BUT the good news is that we are currently working with a company that creates customized websites and these are all things that are on "the list" to be improved upon!  I will mention that the "new items" link does not display items alphabetically but lists them in the order they are added so for those of you that like to peek and see what is new, all the newest stuff will show up on the first page (in fact, there are several fun new items there now).  One or two of you mentioned that you didn't get a reply to your email or you were still waiting on an older order.  PLEASE, please, please know this is not ok with us or ideal.  If we have not replied to your email in 24-48 hours during the week, please call us or try again.  We do have spam filters that sometimes grab the wrong emails (although we try to check them regularly).  We are not trying to ignore you!  If you are worried about an order that hasn't arrived, please let us know.  We want to see that you get your items quickly just as much as you do.  A few of you mentioned that you were sad to see us clearing out our selection of some of our soft soled shoes.  The reason for this is that they just don't sell very quickly.  I am considering a new style that you will have a chance to comment on today if you take the survey below.  One last comment that came up a few times was that some of the items we carry are "so expensive".  As a thrifty shopper myself, I can totally understand this comment.  I find the the reason why these products are often priced the way they are very interesting and I think you might too so I wrote up a post about this yesterday, read this and let me know what you think! 

Our winner of the super cool Simply Silhouettes prize last week is Bridgette, congratulations!  She has been contacted and will soon be enjoying her super cute custom creation!  I know from your comments that you guys love Simply Silhouettes.  So lucky you, they are on sale for $5 off for the next week only!  To find out what you can win this week, scroll down under the stats below, good luck!

The two Etsy web addresses don't work. Too bad I was really curious what you had picked out. :(

[Julie Zep]

Same on the etsy links. I'd love to see what they are!

[Rosie]

Hello...the url does not work.

[onemotherslove]

The form was easy enough. I'd like to see clickable links to view the products. And the Etsy links still don't work. I love to support Etsy sellers! (I'm one, too!) : )

[Amanda]

I was able to get the first etsy link to work but not the second.

:(

Thanks for the survey! and giveaway

[Kristen Fosses]

Same as everyone else... the Etsy post didn't work.. too bad. The form was easy and you can't beat free but it would be EASIER if you included a link to each website so we wouldn't have to manually copy & paste.

[~~**sassyfrazz**~~]

Hello Heather!

I had problems with the first two Etsy sites, as well~

I agree about the free site...it is good to be free, but having the link handy is better than copy and paste. It's all good though...we made it. :)

[Dia]

I enjoyed the survey. I concur, clickable links would make it easier. I always enjoy participating with Mom4Life... with the bonus of a little incentive! :)

[Jen Dutson]

About the survey, I agree about having clickable links, but I also liked this one because there was room to write comments...
Thanks!

[Jeannette Paul]

Couldn't open the Etsy.... Saw their homepage and it looked intriguing. Let me know if the site works ...I would like to check it out... Also,I am a grandmother and 3 weeks ago when my son dropped off my grandson (who was sick) with me so he could go to work he forgot to tell me he had just given him motrin, so I gave him more. I like the dose keeper idea. I also liked the cute burp and bibs...so cute!

[Danielle S]

Survey was just as easy as the last one! Yay for free stuff!
URLs for Etsy didn't work for me either. :(

[Heather from Mom 4 Life]

Ok I think I have it fixed, so sorry! The Etsy website is sort of like ebay and I was linking to a specific item and it had sold since I had linked to it so that it why they didn’t show up. It should hopefully work now, let me know if you have more problems and thank you for letting me know!

[Monique]

This survey was just as easy as last weeks. I say go with what's free :)

I was able to get to all of the links you had in the survey.

Some interesting products. I tend to buy mostly non-trendy products made out of natural materials (organic cotton, etc) so many of these didn't appeal to me.

[Siri Heinrichs]

I thought this week's survey was just as easy as last week's as well. All of the links worked for me, and I copied and pasted them last week too so not sure what people are talking about regarding that. One thing I noticed, which may be a choice when you set up the survey, is the 1st survey had radio buttons, which limit you to only one choice, while today's survey had the other kind of button (can't remember what it's called) where I could actually select multiple answers to a question. Keep up the good work!

[Heather from Mom 4 Life]

For those of you that did not get to see the Etsy links and have already finished your survey here they are if you want to look: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9098165 and http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9358455 feel free to comment on them here if you like.

[Danielle S]

Yay! I can see them! LOL!
WHile the idea behind the recycled booties and bibs is nice, neither of them is anything I would put on my baby. But thats probably just me! ;-)
HTH!

[Heather from Mom 4 Life]

Thanks for your feedback Danielle. They are so unique but so different I wasn’t sure what others would think of them! I am reading over the "other" comments you guys have left on the surveys and they are so helpful, keep it up!

[Angie Sullos]

The Etsy booties are very interesting but I would have a problem putting the bib that said pampers around my baby. I am not sure how I feel about it to be honest. I did like the bib patterns of the other site and the medicine tracker. Helpful idea.

[Heather from Mom 4 Life]

LOL that is a good point Angie. She has lots of options such as Target bags and things like that, the Pampers one I hadn’t seen before and I can see what you mean. I am sure I could specify which types of recycled bags we do and don’t use.

[Heather from Mom 4 Life]

I will also mention that typically I would narrow down some of these choices more before showing them to you as I think I typically have a pretty good idea of what moms will and won't like but as long as you guys don’t mind I thought I would let you give me your thoughts on some that I didn't think you would like just to check and be sure my instincts were correct. Thanks so much for your feedback.

hi I was at a baby shower and my friend got a most unique baby journal as a gift. It is called a 1000 days by Nikki Mcclure. She is a mom from olympia,wa. It is so beautiful crafted and affordable too! I bought one, I like the the idea a journal rather that a baby book. It had to pages for every month of the baby lie to write in. with beautiful pictures. I know its something all moms would love.check it out!!! maybe you can sell it on your site. I love writing to my baby. Unfortunatly i discovered it by my third baby so iam writing about the other two as i remember. I know its some they'll love to read when they get older! Thanx just wanted to share that~Marie Figgins

[Dee F.]

Hi Heather,
After four attempts, I was able to view all of the Etsy sites. I honestly did not care for either the booties or the bibs. That's just me. I thought this week's survey was easy enough to use, although not having to cut and paste is nicer. Thanks for asking all of us for our opinions! -Dee F.

[Naomi]

I love my Nummies bra!

[Sarah J]

I agree with some of you that said that you dislike the reused bag bibs. But, I dislike them for a different reason. I'm just afraid to give my baby the wrong idea about plastic bags. "Plastic bags are not toys" and they aren't bibs to put around a baby's neck either. hehe I sound so harsh...

[Rosie]

Once the url's worked, all was fine but I agree with all the others that not having to cut and paste would have been much nicer. The booties and bibs were not my favorites but I did like the soft soled shoes and would likely buy a pair if offered at a discount.

[Corrie Gade]

I had trouble viewing links one time, but I came back the next day and it was fine. Survey was very good!! Thanks again for all you do!!!

[Kristina B]

I liked this survey better than the last one, as you can see all the questions on one page. But that's just me. :)

[krista]

the survey was easy...clickable links would be easier though :) i liked the soft soled shoes the best, but they were still just pricey.

[Andrea]

Ohhh those isabooties are so cute!!!!

First time visiting and looking forward to coming back. =)

[Sara(my email is not working Now) :(]

Hi
Love you rsurvey! It was fun... I like the bibs.. cute patterns and Loved the Dose Kepper gadget... Thats me.. Long hours of lack sleep make both my husband and me second guess ourselves as to when we gave them medications. This might help us out, especxially when we blame each othe rin the middle of the night as to who kept tarck :)!!!

[Alisha]

Survey was easy to use. I didn't mind copying and pasting, although direct links are easier.

[Julie Zep]

Hahaha!!! The booties and bibs are really cute (in a way). I like the idea of recycling, but I think they're a little too *tacky* to put on my baby...
