Authorize.net is down - unable to process payments temporarily
It seems that I only post when I have something bad to say. Today it turns out that our payment processor, Authorize.net, is down due to a fire at one of their facilities. So we cannot process payments by credit card until they get back online. However, I can process orders manually and invoice customers via PayPal. Hopefully this will be resolved soon!
I apologize for the inconvenience!

You will have to type that yourself (we have to fool the spambots).
You can call me: Rachel at 1-888-286-5640.
We are in California, so the best times are 9 am - 6 pm PST or 10 am - 9 pm EST.
SOOO sorry my dear customers! I don't know yet what the problem is and I'm endeavoring to fix it ASAP!!
I have so many new cute hats to post! I've learned that we are doing something right in terms of sun protecting hats because our brims are really wide and with the sandwich of several layers of fabric and interfacing, the hats really do block alot of sun. Now is the time! I have new hat fabrics posted at picasa here: http://picasaweb.google.com/poshpapoose/2009SUMMERFALLPOSHPAPOOSEHATFABRICS#

Long Time No Post!
Well since I've gotten stuck on Facebook, the blog has lagged. There's a lot to update you on!
You can become a "Fan" of Posh Papoose at our new Facebook page!
If you sign up for the Posh Papoose monthly newsletter, you'll always get the latest news along with coupons and specials not available to the general public. You'll see the link on the top right of our home page.
We are trying to stock a little bit of the Aqua Silk Douppioni Ring Slings at a time. It's too expensive to buy alot at once. You can check the website or sign up for the newsletters to get the latest update on our inventory.
I spotted a baby sling on Calista Flockhart's character last Sunday (3/7/09) on Brothers & Sisters! Not sure which brand. Which it were a Posh Papoose(R)! At least I finally saw a sling on TV. I've been trying to get my propmaster husband to get one on a show, but so far the costumer designers must think that Baby Bjorns signify "baby carrier" in a more mainstream way. Not in LA, though,I can tell you.
Ok, continuing in this rambling vein, we are testing the waters of working with a showroom to rep our line for the Western 11 states. Hopefully all you Left coasters will start to see Posh Papoose(R) hats and baby slings in stores near you. If they haven't all gone out of business in this depression/ recession whirlwind. I'm also working on getting the hats into a store in Belgium. You can already find them in Toronto at Wild Child Boutique.
And do check out the reversible sun protection hats for babies, kids, and adults. I bought a lot of cute prints just for boys! They are adorable and me and my kids wear them every day here in LA. Stock is limited because my favorite fabric company doesn't reprint stuff a lot.
You are helping to support a small American business when you shop from us! All our items are made by hand locally. Thanks for reading!

It's Raining Beans
There are just some things you hope never to hear uttered aloud inside your house, this phrase being one of them...
Lia carefully gathered pinto beans from a dried up plant, placed them in a bowl, and brought them inside. Then later, while I was cleaning up in the kitchen, I was startled to hear Etan joyfully exclaiming “it’s raining beans!” while tossing the bowl’s contents into the air, followed by vigorous whacking of the beans with various toy trucks and cars.
Two of my three vacuums are broken (I have bad machine karma), and it is so much fun hand collecting beans in one’s living room. Just one of the many fun moments we’ve had while I solo parent for 8 weeks.

BatMom
My brothers were visiting this week and I managed to hire a babysitter to see the new Batman movie, aka "The Dark Knight." With a title like that, you'd think maybe it's about the night I lost sleep because my child had a rota virus and expelled the contents of her belly multiple times and required that I wash sheets repeatedly until dawn.
But no, it's about the Joker and how he's an agent of chaos and anarchy. Which reminds me of my son, who at age 2.5, also happens to be an agent of chaos and anarchy. I require order, organization, neatness, the flower in the vase angled just so. Etan is compelled to expel every scintilla of artful composition from our home. Markers and crayons are tossed gleefully, leaving indelible marks on newly painted walls. Hats litter the floor. Crumbs mark an interior trail raccoons could follow. Books are pulled off shelves and scattered.
So I wondered initially, why do people seem to revel in this Joker character? Why are they dressing up like poor Heath Ledger for their movie excursions? Don't they realize he's the villain?
I suspect they identify with those irrepressable early urges to upset the apple cart. Why not splash all the bathwater onto the floor? It's there isn't it? It sure is fun.
While watching the Joker explain his motives (chaos is his raison d'etre), I wondered, does the universe tend towards order or disorder? The answer, I think, depends on whether you're a mom, or a toddler..Publish Post
