This product line is HUGE! However, so it has created a logistics issue with getting all the products added. In the mean time we have added the Catalog and scent list to the store (Right menu bar ENE Catalog and ENE Scents) so you can see the amazing products they offer. These items are custom made to order for many so that you only get the freshest of products and still very timely! Most orders ready in just a few days.

This company is amazing! Green, organic and the owner is an Amazing woman who knocked my socks off with her lifestyle. I hope to be as green, organic and vegan as she is someday!

Any questions as always email us! We are happy to help!

We wanted to not only offer “green” products but we wanted them to be common sense based and useful ones. I am sure I am not the only one who sees things online or on infomercials and think “I would never use that” or ” who needs that?”

Some of the amazing products we found were sponsors of the Green Quiz Quest. This is an amazing green scavenger hunt that offers great prizes on Facebook and Twitter! But they also have big prizes at the end that are AMAZING… I can only call them breathtaking because they as a whole made me breathless! Envy does not begin to describe it lol! The products spotlighted in the quest were amazing and so useful.

A refreshing change for everyone!

One of my favorite products were Strawesome straws. These are glass REUSABLE Straws that are perfect for everything. We use the regular straws for pop and normal liquids, then we have Smoothie straws for thicker drinks like smoothies and milk shakes. I am a huge straw fan so this is a great way for us to reduce our plastics in the home. These are amazing! We have been using them for 3 months and we have already saved $10 because we buy straws for the wee ones to drink out of so they don’t put things in our drinks (use your imagination.. don’t want to gross anyone out :) ! )

Another product from the Green Quiz Quest was Clean B. Clean B makes great detergents that are safe for the environment and also baby care items that are safe for baby and leave the chemicals that other “name brands” include OUT! These are safe for baby and great for the environment!

Rockin Green Detergent is great for all clothes and safe for the environment!

Other products we have added are Rockin Green Soap, Grandma El’s Diaper rash cream and baby care, and our personal favorite Noli n Nali skin care line. Noli n Nali is a natural/organic skin care line that has a pretty extensive line up including: Baby shampoo, detangler, baby wash bars, lotion, nipple salve, diaper salve and body butter. We have not purchased the entire line yet but most of it is available on our website.

Bum Balm is safe for cloth diapers and organic!

Lastly, we are in the process of adding an amazing vegan line that boasts an amazing amount of products. So many in fact we are having trouble getting them all on the site. It also includes natural cleaning products, skin care and even has a mens line coming soon!

If there is anything you would like to see please let us know. You can email us, call us or visit us on Twitter, Facebook and you can even leave comments on the blog!

Thanks! Hope your having a very happy and green summer!

Same great service! http://www.greengoodnessdiaperservice.com/blog/2010/08/a-new-name-is-for-our-website-same-great-service/ http://www.greengoodnessdiaperservice.com/blog/2010/08/a-new-name-is-for-our-website-same-great-service/#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:16:19 +0000 Admin http://www.greengoodnessdiaperservice.com/blog/?p=92 We are moving into a new direction with our company and we hope you will come along for the journey.  We are loving the success our diaper service has experienced in the last few years and as we approach our third  anniversary we are adding a few things.

Effective immediately our store will be re-branded “Green Goodness Living” and will provide green living products that we know and trust for our family as well as clothing, skin care, and other products for families.  Our diaper service will of course continue to operate from our site as well.

We will be adding products that help us all reduce our carbon foot print or are just a safer more natural option for our family every week. In addition, we are adding some fun products for the family that we know and love. I hope you will check back often!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let us know!

Thanks!

We have some of the most loyal customers I have ever seen, through my illness and subsequent recovery they have stood by us. For that I thank you, as well as my family thanks you. For without you we would be nothing!

We are venturing into a few new areas that we are excited about. First of all we are now offering different types of rentals, fitted diapers and wipe rentals. Both of which we are absolutely thrilled to bring to our customer base. Anyone interested in signing up or converting their service to one of these please let me know.

We are also expanding our service area again, starting in July 2010 we will be servicing the Mt.Clemens and surrounding area as well as Grosse Pointe and surrounding areas. Anyone interested in these areas of service please let me know!

Lastly, we are working on opening a green living store. We have been collecting information on different products we thought were either hard to find or missing from the Metro-Detroit stores and we are stocking our online store with them. We will soon be re-branding our store to a new version of Green Goodness but all current services will continue as is.

Don’t forget we offer gift registries, shower packages, and professionally printed inserts for your invitations.

Thanks again ! Enjoy the summer and BE SAFE!

The Green Goodness family

My son was 7lbs when he was born and he fit them within two weeks. We recommend renting your newborn covers and then switching to a one size for most economical route.

Blueberry Coveralls

We sold quite a few to new customers this weekend but we have aplix closure in butter, green and cow left in stock. We can order any color or print as well.

We also started our new bags this week- they are Happy Tushies pail liners that are great for diaper services. They are zipper closure so they will be less work and better during the summer but also have a handle. These will make our lives easier as well as our customers…!

As always stay green and email if you have any questions!

For .50 per cover per week you can rent your covers versus buying every style. This works in quite a few ways. Some customers voiced they would love to rent the smaller sizes and then invest in the larger ones, yet other customers voiced they would like to rent all sizes. Whichever way works for your pocketbook we hope this helps everyone have a greater success with cloth diapers.

Note- Covers are still washed by the customers in their home as with regular service.

Please email if you have questions!
Enjoy our new snow!

We are slowly picking up back to normal service but we are moving slower to make sure that we are only able to offer our top notch customer service. In our opinion we would rather discontinue the service then to offer poor service. I hope this helps our customers or future customers to understand why we had to limit the areas.

We will be willing to move back into outer lying areas such as the rest of Macomb County, rural Oakland County and Wayne County once we have five or more clients in a general area (does not have to be the same city but needs to be on an accessible route- such as off the same expressway etc) so that we are not doing trips that are not cost effective.

Please email us if you would like to be added to a wait list. We will be happy to keep you apprised of the status of it so that if your due date nears you know the status of your service.

I do want to take a minute and thank all the mothers and fathers that have emailed us to wish us well and offer us support. You are all appreciated more than you know and We will forever remember those kind gestures.

Thanks All! I hope are all off to a great new year!

P.s. We didn’t have enough Charities submit requests or answer our requests to do twelve but if you know of any that would love to be listed we would love to post them! We want in this economy to get the charities in need everything we can. Thank you!
