Today was the first time (in almost 2 years) I left my baby boy to go to work (although it was only for 4 hours as it was slow at the restaurant).
It was so great to be able to interact with people other than Lucious and hubby. Sanity rebuild project starts now!
This picture was taken last month. Little man poured his bowl of blueberries inside his emptied toy hamper, and enjoyed them there, hahahaaa~
but I think it’s time…..
I know it’s only been 8 1/2 months, and for a business, that’s really not a lot of time.
I’m not saying good-bye to say that NaughtyNappies & Danger Baby will be gone forever, but for now…
It was a hard decision to make but I’m a big believer in “enjoying the things you do”.
I do still enjoy sewing and making crafts! But I’ve found it VERY stressful to promote a business while running a family (with a toddler) and therefore I stopped having the urge to sew and make fun and new things.
The reason I started NaughtyNappies & Danger Baby was the love I have for the things I do (crafting, in this case), but that’s hard to find on my work desk nowadays.
My Etsy shop will still be open and will most likely have new things added every now and then when the time allows me to create new things.
I will be taking down N.N.’s facebook page in a week or so… I’m not sure if I will keep the blog going, but it will still be up for a while…
I want to THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart for your support, encouragement and feedback!!!
With lots of Love,
Sincerely yours,
Sway
Hi Everyone!!!
Hope you and your family are doing well!
I’m making “very slow” progress on adding items to our Etsy shop, especially now my camera lens is broken… We are working on getting a new lens, hopefully we’ll have one soon.
I apologize on my super slow progress, I’ve been really busy with Lucious now he’s older and likes to run around LOL
I was also working on training pants and will be starting on working to finalize patterns for testers this week.
Ooga Booga Training Pants
I’m planning to have some testers available in late December. These will be sold below cost.
Thank you all for your patience and your support for NaughtyNappies!!!
Lots of Love!

This week is World Breastfeeding Week.
Hats off to all the mamas that breastfed/are still breastfeeding your child(ren). Especially those who had conquered breastfeeding obstacles along the way (or still is).
I remember the very first time I breastfed Lucious, and now 13 months later, he is still getting breast milk and is a very healthy toddler. It wasn’t always easy, there were lots of tears and stress at the beginning, but we hung in there and stood by our decision to breastfeed our baby no matter what, because it is truly one of the best things you can give your baby.
How breastfeeding benefits you and your baby
20 tips for successful breastfeeding
The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) and advocacy groups in over 170 countries are promoting this year’s theme, “Breastfeeding: Just 10 Steps. The Baby-Friendly Way”. These are guidelines for health care facilities that offer maternity services and care for newborns. In order to create an optimum environment to establish good breastfeeding practices, facilities should:

In honor of WBW, the first mama reply to this post will receive 2 pairs of Danger Baby organic breast pads. One pair in bonita skull print and the other is plain hemp.

Did you know that the worldwide average age for weaning is 4.2 years? That’s pretty amazing…

Hello Everyone!
Feel like it’s been a long summer already! (for me at least LOL)
We’ve finally settled into our new home. It is not a big space but is very nice with a decent view and we even get to see the fireworks on Fridays (Hilton Village in Waikiki does fireworks every Friday by the ocean). I have to say, the most exciting feature of our new apartment is the big balcony area (we call it “lanai” in Hawaii). We’ve always wanted to grow our own food, and now we are doing it! (we are still looking to get a community plot though as we are very ambitious! LOL)
Anyways, now on to the business part of the post…
I’ve made a decision to stop making custom orders for now. You will be able to purchase in-stock diapers on my Etsy shop after September 2010 (the shop is already open, but not a lot of items are available as of now). However, if you have something “special” in mind I will be happy to work with you, just send me an email That said, I will be making changes on this site through out the following weeks.
August is a very busy month for us. We will be participating as a seller in our local cloth diaper store, Baby aWEARness, for their 1 year anniversary.
We hope everyone is enjoying your summer, we are grateful to be in Hawaii at this time (instead of being in the East Coast, I heard it’s SUPPER hot over there).
As always, let me know if you have any requests or questions
Love,
Sway
Lucious (aka Danger Baby) had picked out two NaughtyNappies winners!!!
