Patent for PortaPocket soon to issue!

So excited to report one of our patents is about to issue from the upsto and we're thrilled to pieces (as was my little one to ride on the boat...)! It's been a long road, but finally reaching this destination (or shall I say ...at least this way-station...) is very gratifying :)

Puts us in a very pleasant mode for observing this Memorial Day...

we SO respect and appreciate those who put their all into protecting & defending our freedom...

with GRATITUDE for ALL our MILITARY FORCES on this May 31...

BLESS YOU!

a little Lara Croft-ish?

just certified as WBE (Women's Business Enterprise)!

Great news! We're pleased to announce that Undercover Solutions, LLC (otherwise known as the place where you can find all PortaPocket products) has just received the designation of WBE, which stands for Women's Business Enterprise. This gives as credentials as a woman-owned business to now have further opportunities. Some companies have business models which require sourcing their assortments of merchandise by giving companies like ours a chance. So that could lead to new avenues in helping us get PortaPocket products distributed through more channels in the near to mid-term future (...at least in theory ;-))!

Which companies do you know that have a social consciousness who would be willing to work with small women-owned enterprises that have a heart & soul?

Look who else is talking about her period (hint K.K. tho not Kim Kardashian!)

So...hubby sends me this link this am:
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/video/kim-kardashian-talks-about-her-period-for-Kotex-10385104

how awesome, huh? someone else talking about periods, menstruation, and tampons, etc and not being embarrassed! Of course Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian et al are a little "higher platform" than yours truly, but what the heck...it's all good. :)

For those of you who don't yet know...I had a little tampon accident myself, which actually became the impetus to design PortaPocket in the first place (http://www.portapocket.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.display&page_id=33) So there you have it! Such fun to be empowering women everywhere...and making sure we don't have to stuff our little things in our socks, shoes, sleeves or bras just to get by. Hallelujah!

April showers...

sitting here looking at the gray skies and hoping things will blow over before my little one wants to set up her Princess tent back in the yard again... oh to be 5 again and carefree!
When we're young we seem to want to grow up SO fast, and looking back, it can be such a special and wonderful time in our lives...NO responsibilities! (or, any that are of super consequence anyway..) NO bills to pay! (yea!) NO people to worry about who don't return phone calls, blow you off and make you question your worth (wow!)
Perhaps she'll have fun tomorrow while I'll see how many balls I can juggle in the air without having them all hit me in the head...

what kinds of things are you dealing with today?
care to vent?
...ah, life... ;-)

Spring break, anyone?

ahhh spring... mid March already and alot of young adults will be heading off to Cancun or Florida or somewhere else warm... flexing their muscles for independence and freedom! Let's just hope they're all going to act responsibly and with prudence. Can't say those are the first qualities that come to mind when speaking about 18 to 22 year olds, but we can dream a little, right?

Fortunately my daughter has quite a few more years to go before I go gray with worry...
but when it IS her turn, you can be sure she'll have her valuables safely & discreetly out of sight yet ON herself... Strap on your PortaPocket sweetheart, and you're always good to go! ;-)

...and for those who are on the cusp of having some fun in the sun, go ahead and pick your own pocket, here:
