What is the Pink Room??

The Ju Ju Be Pink Room.
In theory it is "just" a message board. It is "just" about diaper bags. Nope, it's so much more!! It is a massive network of wonderful Mamas! They are so supportive, diverse, smart, friendly,and funny!! You can talk about marriage issues, parenting issues, get support on your weight loss journey, find a recipe, get a book review, or find a great deal on a diaper bag you've been wanting. They're just as excited as you are when you get a new bag, lose 5 pounds, finally get your baby to sleep through the night or just have a great day.

The company itself is amazing... I've described the quality and design of the bags before. The company has amazing CS, stands behind it's products, really listens to and cares about it's customers, is giving to customers, charity, and the community, and is made of really awesome people! The bags are good and cute and all that but the obsessive-ness the Pink Ladies feel is for the people behind the bags!

The Pink Lady 10 Commandments really sum up WHY the Pink Ladies are wonderful and why I can't go a day without popping in! Funny and sweet... they're the Pink Ladies!! :)

Today's Love/Hate 3/9/10

LOVE:
Ju Ju Be's new spring line. This company is amazing, their products are amazing... I was heartbroken to be outgrowing them as I no longer have much need for diaper bags. Lo and behold they rope me back into obession with their new Legacy Collection. A new earth friendly faux leather... that is machine washable!!! I have been known to spend a few hundred dollars on gorgeous leather bags in the past but always ended up selling them because I was just too afraid of something happening to them. I am NOT a careful kinda gal. I want to look cute and chic but I don't want to worry about a kid getting something sticky on my bag or rain, dirt, etc. These bags are just amazingly gorgeous looking "leather", have the JJB attention to detail, and the JJB durability!!! I so cannot wait for May to get my hands on some!!! I am for sure starting with the Behave (right now my mind is set on Brown) and a Brown BeMajor (love this wallet now, LOVE the envy lining and the look of the wallet in leather!!) Now, to lose 50lbs to "earn" the bag from TJ!!

Check out the bags here: http://ju-ju-be.com/ju-ju-blog/?p=672 And when they're available for purchase be sure to come back here and follow my link so I can cash in on your shopping. ;)

HATE:
Hmmm, nothing poignant or thoughtful comes to mind. I'd like to point out some terrible injustice in the world but so far today I haven't read any news/etc. so nothing is bugging me. How 'bout Kate Gosselin? I mean seriously... Dancing with the Stars? Has anyone missed the "star" portion of that? Plus she's a hateful, mean, naggy, fake bitch and I really really dislike her. Wait, not just dislike... I HATE her.
