    Etsy Vendor: Obleek (Custom Diaper Bags)

    in Bride Referrals

    Posted

    Ladies,

     

    i have to recommend Obleek on Etsy

     

    obleek on Etsy - Customize your bag or strap just the way you want it

     

    Edmonton Web Design and Graphic Design - Obleek Design Studio

     

    Ann found this vendor and one of my girlfriends bought me a custom Diaper Bag ("The Abbey"), I was in touch with the owner, Katie to pick my customizations and when my bag arrived (from Canada) there was a problem with the Zipper. Katie's customer service was SUPER and she handled the problem so professionally and didn't make a big deal about it. She rebuilt the bag and made it with 2 snaps instead of the zipper.

     

    It is GORGEOUS, really well made, 100% custom and so affordable- I can't wait to use it! :)

     

    Anyway, I know there are a lot of Mommies and Mommy-to-be's around here now so I wanted to share!

     

    Here are some pics ....

    Do you know how many children are born with disabilities today? Do you know the amount of stress it causes for a family when a child has a disability, how the other children get shorted attention and other basic needs? I'm just saying, god forbid the new baby is born with down syndrome or autism. Since she is doing such a "balanced" job (ahem) with the 18 kids, what should happen if one is not perfect like the rest? Will she pass it off to one of her teenage daughters to care for, and rush to get pregnant again?
    Do the math...there are only 24 hours in a day, minus about 6 or 7 for sleep. These kids are lucky if they get 20 minutes each a day of individual attention from their parents.
    Michelle,
    you make a lot of assumptions that are not based on fact - neither of us live in their house or are friends with them - I think it is ignorant (my opinion) to "assume" and "judge" them based on opinion, assumptions, etc. and not fact.

    You have no idea how they would react if they had a child with a disability - why assume the worst? they clearly have done great so far!

    and as for doing the math - that is your math - again you don't live with them or have ANY intimate knowledge of how they do things so to assume they get 20 min a day is crazy to me.

    they have older children and younger children who have different needs - this isn't Octomom with tons of infants running around demanding to be fed and changed at the same time.

    frankly i am not interested in going back and forth with you - you are entitled to your opinion as i am to mine - i just don't make a habit of throwing at judgements and assumptions that are not based on fact.

    hhmmmm you mean like how they contribute to society doing charity and missionary work? like how they work through their church to help other people who are less fortunate than them? those bastards!! lol

    that is pretty ignorant IMO to say when a woman should be "grateful" and has enough children - she doesn't use welfare to feed / cloth / educate them - what the hell?

    i am with you Abbie - i <3 the Duggars - they are a loving family, have no drama and teach their kids personal responsibility and respect for others. they take care of their family on their own and have NO debt (even before they did the TV show). you can't hate that.

     

    also - their kids really seem well-adjusted and sweet (IMO). i love some of their house rules - they are really thoughtful! :)

    BTW, thanks for the rude PM last night. For someone that doesn't care about my opinion, or is positive and congratulatory, oh and never negative you sure make it a point to rude and mean.

    " At the end of the day...
    your opinion of me DOESN'T matter!! I wouldn't want to know you either. Good day!"

    Wow, such resentment and anger. Very sad.
    Yari,

    Thank you for bringing this PM to the attention of the Mods. As i publicly stated last night - we have a very low tolerance for drama and bitchy bullshit. We work hard to make this forum a supportive place for brides to plan their weddings and build community.

    Sending that PM after my public warning was uncalled for. I am closing this thread to end the drama and LaShawn will recieve a 14 day temporary ban for what we consider uncalled for behavior.

    Girls, please remember that when you ask for people's opinion if you only want to hear one opinion that you agree with then consider not asking or saying "i don't really want anyone to disagree with me" lol.

    enough - let's get back to weddings and all the good stuff!

    Alyssa

    lashawn,

     

    the moderators of this forum have a very low

    tolerance for nasty, bitchy and meaningless

    attacks on people.

     

    if you read all of Yari's post without picking out

    a few choice words it would be hard to find a

    character attack on you. she was simply stating

    her opinion which #1 you asked for and #2 she is

    entitled too.

     

    please refrain from posting towards members

    in that tone again.

     

    thanks,

    Alyssa

    then why not go with 6 guests, not 8? doesn't make sense?

    Thank you so much!!! it really was AMAZING!

    I would love to know if all of your guests stayed at Kona Village or if some stayed at a nearby cheaper resort.
    Yes, all of our guests stayed at KV - we had about 40 people.

    Also, did you use the musicians that Kona Village provides through its packages or did you hire a DJ?
    for the reception, we used the musicians that KV had - a trio i think - i probably would have hired my own b/c they were OK but we couldn't really hear them. for us it wasn't really a huge deal but if that is important to you, then i would hire your own people. for the ceremony, we had a hawaiian guitarist (KV hired him) he was gREAT!

    Thanks so much!
    good luck with everything :)

    You know, since you mentioned this it reminded me of something else. Is Mabel very attached to you? We got our dog Yaz about 2 or 3 months before Aiden was born and she was super attached to me. When I had was in the hospital having Aiden, although I was only gone 2 nights and Brian did come back home and spend the night she flipped out and went through some sort of separation anxiety. I also think she sensed something was changing. She ate through wires, pooped all over the rug, scratched up furniture, etc. Brian crated her but then she started freaking out in her crate so he let her sleep in the room at night and that's when she finished off the job she started. She's a very high anxiety dog. I don't know if Mabel is, but if she tends to get stressed out easily and she's very attached to you, just keep that in mind. I don't know what you can do (besides crating her if you do that), but if you think she might have the same reaction as my dog, then it might be worth thinking about now because I literally came home to a destroyed house.
    Well she is super attached to me and i did go away last weekend for a shower and Bach party so maybe that combined with the packing and moving - who knows? She is usually very laid back and chill so low anxiety but she really doesn't like change. luckily my DH is so patient and is doing a holistic treatment 3x a day - if she doesn't have marked improvement by Monday we will take her to the Vet sad.gif
