About Diaper Dude

Maybe you've read about Diaper Dude in People, Pregnancy or Parents magazines. Or maybe you've seen a dad (or mom) carrying a Diaper Dude bag. If Diaper Dude is new to you, here's the story behind th brand, straight from the Diaper Dude Website:

Fatherhood In the Bag - Stylish Dad Diaper Bags

Diaper Dude is a lifestyle and a Brand that was born from the idea that fatherhood doesn’t have to be complicated or xxx (un-cool). Diaper Dude, Dad Diaper Bag created by Chris Pegula, is a movement that began after the birth of the first of his three children by turning feminine-style diaper bags into ones that dads would want to carry. Pegula noticed that most diaper bags and accessories sold at retail stores were designed with women’s sense of style in mind. Instead of carrying his baby-stuff around in a gym bag or backpack, Pegula created The Diaper Dude for dads. By merging hip styles with functionality, The Diaper Dude, Dad Diaper Bag appeals to image-conscience men everywhere looking for ease of use.

Chris was a natural role model for dads when he first became a father. He found that his friends gravitated towards him for parenting advice of all kinds –interacting with babies, sleeping, feeding, where to take the kids, travel tips and many other ideas on how to make parenting easier. To date, he has helped hundreds of dads get into the groove of parenting by approaching fatherhood from a fun, realistic and relaxed perspective.

Land of Nod's Chapter 2

Land of Nod's Chapter 1 was all about getting started. Here's Chapter 2, about how things can really take off, taken straight from the Land of Nod Website:

Chapter 2

Knock-knock.

Who's there?

Knock-knock.

Gordon Segal from Cate and Barrel.

Knock-knock.

Gordon-Segal-from-Crate and Barrel-who?

Knock-knock.

Gordon Segal from Crate and Barrel, who would like to help you take your fantastic products into The Land of Nod stores, increase your service and expand your product selection.

Knock-knock.

This must be some sort of joke, we said. But, of course, it wasn't.

Knock-knock.

And after much thought (and many long, boring meetings), we decided to open the door.

Knock-knock.

Today, we are partners with Crate and Barrel.

Knock-knock.

Tomorrow, we may have a store near you.

Knock-knock.

It's an exciting partnership.

Knock-knock.

A partnership, frankly, that's hard to knock.

The Land of Nod Story, Chapter 1

Land of Nod is a site we just can't get enough of. And when we read how the company was founded, we became even more endeared. Here's Chapter 1 to the happy-ending story about the start of Land of Nod, straight from the Land of Nod Website:

Thump-thump.

When you start a company in your basement, like we did,

certain things come with the territory.

Thump-thump.

A son who learns the letters UPS before the lestter ABC.

Thump-thump.

Strange looks from neighbors who wonder why any normal

household needs to many phone lines.

Thump-thump.

Inventory stored in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Thump-thump.

And, of course, the constant background sound of a noisy furnace.

Thump-thump.

But, hey, you get used to it.

Thump-thump.

And now that we've been in our new space for a few years,

Thump-thump.

We've got to admit there are times we miss that old funace.

Thump-thump.

Kind of...

Stay tuned for Chapter 2.....
