Welcome! A little bit about us....


Thanks for visiting the Blissful Booty Buzz! After being prompted by some friends I have decided to start a blog to allow everyone to easily keep up with what is happening in the Blissful Booty Camp! I figured I would start with a post about me and my family and how we started Blissful Booty. I am Cathy, the owner and operator, designer and marketer, wholesaler and retailer. Yep, I do pretty much all of it. :p I am 44 years old, married to my husband John who is a software engineer (computer nerd) with 4 kids ages 25, 18, 12, and 5. I also have a beautiful 3 year old grand-daughter. More on the family later. :)  I am a former Director of Operations of a Financial Company. I began sewing and designing my AIO diapers in 2006 after the birth of my youngest daughter Kaia in August of 2005. She was born premature, with a congenital heart defect, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, (which she and my oldest daughter both inherited from me) and VERY sensitive skin.
Kaia, or as I like to call her "the muse" :)

First inner casings!
Early designs
She was unable to wear any of the disposable diapers so I began making diapers for her.  I studied the look and features of the disposable that I liked best and began sewing them out of different types of cloth. I also began making them for friends that were having babies and they, along with my husband John urged me to expand and produce them to sell to other parents because they loved them so much.  So finally after leaving my job in Finance, I decided to just go for it haven't looked back!! Although at times I will say it has been quite a struggle! I am extremely excited that my products are being so well received and it makes all the hard work, sleepless nights and gray hairs worth it! I am hoping to have other guest bloggers that are probably MUCH better writers than I to share with you here on my blog. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will continue to follow along! <3
