Please help Baby Dipper qualify for $250K grant

Mission: Small Business Eligibility for $250,000 grant means 250 votes needed

That's right. Baby Dipper has the chance to be considered for a $250,000 grant for small businesses in the Mission: Small Business grant from Chase and Living Social. We have worked hard to reach the 129 votes we have so far, but only have until tomorrow (June 30) to get the remaining 121 votes needed. This is where you can help us. All it takes is just a few seconds to click on the Mission: Small Business link, click on Show Support, enter Baby Dipper's name, and vote for us. That's it! Less than 30 seconds and you've helped out a small business. If you then have a moment to ask a few friends to do the same, we would be super-appreciative! We have great plans for future products and could really use this extra funding to achieve these goals sooner rather than later.

As usual, I thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,

Barbara Schantz

The New Baby Dipper Blue Name

After much deliberation and debate with my family, with my friends, on a mom entrepreneur message board, and on the Baby Dipper Facebook page, the elusive Baby Dipper blue name has been decided. The new blue name is Bubble Blue! So, now we have Bubble Blue and Tickled Pink. I guess I should start asking for names for other colors now, right?
