My Royal Heinie

My Royal Heinie: A Six Month Check-Up

info — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 20:32:24 +0000

Now that My Royal Heinie is six months old, I am finding myself reflecting back to the time when my daughter had reached that exciting milestone. She had blossomed from infancy into babyhood, and all the sleepless nights were safely behind us. We knew what to expect and could anticipate her wants and needs. We had strategies, plans, routines. She was no longer this strange alien who had suddenly arrived in our lives. We knew her intimately.

Or so we thought….

Just like in business, parenthood teaches us to never assume and always be ready for a curveball. You have to be flexible and fast, while staying the course and keeping your cool. Raising kids is a marathon that you’re never fully trained for, but we keep doing our best no matter what.

Six months into My Royal Heinie, we have raised our product up from an idea into a product that is actually being used happily by moms (even moms we’ve never met!) and although we have had our fair share of growing pains, we are seeing that just like our six month old children were, My Royal Heinie is wholeheartedly worth the effort.

Being a mompreneur has a unique set of challenges. We couldn’t have come this far without the support of our families, of course, but also from other mom-owned businesses and people in the industry. Sites like Mom Inventors http://www.mominventors.com/, Mompreneurs Online http://www.mompreneursonline.com/ and Mom Central http://www.momcentral.com/ inspire us everyday. People like Stacey from Cedar Valley Publishing http://www.cedarvalleypublishing.net/home.asp, Carrie from Los Pollitos Dicen http://www.lospollitosdicen.biz/, and Leslie from Lucky Jade http://www.luckyjadeproducts.com/ have become fast friends who we can call on for advice and inspiration. Great blog sites run by moms who search for the newest and best products to share with other moms - Swanky Moms http://www.swankymoms.com/, Mommies with Style http://www.mommieswithstyle.com/mtblog/ and She Finds Moms http://shefindsmom.com/index.php to name just a few — are helping to change the juvenille products industry into one that is truly for the people, by the people.

With that, we’re excited for this next stage of our “baby’s” development. Who knows what lies ahead.

Welcome to Heinie Talk.

As we get ready to debut our new diaper bag accessory, my royal heinie™, we want to reach out to other moms interested in, perhaps obsessed with, all things “heinie”. Let’s face it, for the first few years of our lives as parents, we spend a good portion of our time handling our sweet baby’s bottom. A fact that both you and your offspring will want to erase from memory as soon this chapter of life is over. But for now, we must accept and embrace diaper duty in all of its glory. And we say, if we must do it, let’s do it in style.

We designed my royal heinie™ for busy parents on the go to help them organize all their diapering essentials in one easy-access changing purse. We developed the first and only internal wipes dispenser so wipes can be loaded and pulled directly from the bag – eliminating the need for that clunky plastic wipes case forever. The purse is roomy enough to fit up to six diapers, a large stack of wipes and creams, hand sanitizer, the works. Yet it’s small enough to put inside your favorite diaper bag. The adjustable strap can be used as a wristlet, shoulder bag, or stroller attachment. Everything has been designed with the goal of making diapering a more civilized – dare we say royal – experience.

The purpose of this blog is to share ideas and information, not just about about my royal heinie™, but also on these early pre-potty years. Everything from the best diaper rash remedies, to which restaurants have changing tables in the men’s room, to tips on getting coupons for your favorite diaper brand. We’ll also talk about parenting topics such as how to stop your two year old from announcing he has a poop in his pants while on line in the supermarket. Or the best potty training techniques. We want to hear it all.

Pamper me, baby!

Debuting at ABC Kids Expo, September 10-13, 2006.

What better place to debut my royal heinie™ than in Las Vegas, the land of extreme fun and indulgence! The ABC Kids Expo is one of the biggest juvinelle products shows of the year and we are excited to be a part of it. We hope that if you’re attending this year, you will make time to come by Tabletop 1 for a first look at our new baby. We’ll even have some royal pampering for you to enjoy.

Speaking of pampering, did you know that my royal heinie™ is the only diapering accessory on the market with an internal wipes dispenser, so wipes can be pulled directly from the bag? No more clumsy plastic wipes case. This is about quick and easy. You’ll think your lady in waiting changed your baby for you!
