About Us

Thank goodness for babies! My name is Leslie Jones, and I am the owner-manager of Rubbertoes Baby. If you are like me, babies and children keep us grounded by giving us purpose. They also give us the gift, responsibility, and joy of having someone to love. Very often, they even make us laugh by the way they interpret life’s events and situations.

Rubbertoes Baby is a hub that was created to provide a pleasant and efficient one-stop shopping experience for moms and dads, step-parents, grandparents, foster families, adoptive parents, friends of the family, and anyone else who wants to help provide for the many needs of newborns through age 2 toddlers. We specialize in clothing for all occasions; supplies such as diapers and wipes, as well as more unique items; and baby art and room decor. Our goal is to help you take the best possible care of your children. We want to make sure you feel that you have been heard and taken care of because you know you can find what you need here at Rubbertoes Baby. We built our company from the ground up while thinking about the needs of our customers. Your satisfaction is what makes our business grow!

At Rubbertoes Baby, we also care about relieving child and family hunger. Early nutrition greatly affects how a child’s brain develops. And a child’s parents or other caretakers must be nourished as well. For this reason, at least once or twice a year, we run a food drive for our local ACTS (Action in Community through Service) food bank.

We want to hear from you! If you have any questions, problems, comments, compliments or suggestions, PLEASE feel free to send us an email. We’re always here to help. Remember: Your feedback helps us to better help you AND your child!

Stop into Rubbertoes Baby to grab all the newborn supplies you need.

Read to Your Child

It’s never too early to start reading to your children. Some moms and dads even read to their babies before birth. The rhythm is soothing and exposes babies to the cadence of human speech and the patterns of language, regardless of the particular language being spoken.

Reading to children at bedtime, especially to toddlers, sets a healthy habit of slowing down and listening to their caretaker’s voice, which can soothe children and relax them as they transition to a good night of sleep. This process is also a step towards learning to read. If children know that their moms and dads or other family members value reading, then those children will most likely develop the same appreciation of reading. The value of reading is priceless as our little ones grow into school-age children and beyond. Start them early on this productive path. Pick a book. Stock a book shelf and let them play with the books. Let them pick out bedtime stories. They will remember these pleasant experiences for a lifetime.

Clothing

As a parent of small children you know that the number of outfit changes can really add up, and how helpful it is to be stocked up on the essential baby clothes at all times. Whether it’s the unexpected spit-up or accident, having outfit changes on standby can be a life saver. Here at Rubbertoes Baby we carry all things clothing for little ones ranging from newborn through toddlerhood. We want to help you ensure your children are as comfortable and clean as a whistle at all times.

Seasonal

Of course, in the summertime, or even for indoor swimming, or swimming lessons any time of year, bathing suites are a necessity. No matter the season or weather, you’ll find all of the outfit essentials for your little one right here. With the best selection of styles, brands and sizes for you to choose from, you can find something for every little boy or girl. From basics like bodysuits and onesies to the coziest pajamas, we have all of your newborn clothing needs covered. Find tops, tees, pants, dresses, jeans, socks and even shoes and slippers in multiple styles and sizes. From lightweight cotton materials for the warmer summer months to warmer fleece and soft baby flannel for the cooler winter months, we have all of your bases covered.

With the rapidly growing little bodies babies have, sometimes it seems difficult to stay on top of their ever-changing clothing size needs. That’s why we carry everything for you in one convenient place. In one stop you can stock up on anything from outfit essentials to socks, shoes and even outerwear! Rubbertoes Baby carries the cutest and most diverse collection of clothing for newborns and toddlers for you to choose from, so take a look through our stock and find everything you need to keep your baby comfortable and cute at all times.

Baby Art and Nursery Decor

Research has been done to help us understand the basics of child development, and what they’ve found is that it’s extremely beneficial to create a stimulating space for your baby’s senses. Newborn babies can sense color and shape contrast very early on, and respond very strongly to vibrant color. Studies suggest keeping your walls a muted, soft color to keep your little one relaxed and prevent them from being overwhelmed, and incorporate a few vibrant and colorful pieces to stimulate them. Here at Rubbertoes Baby we carry all kinds of wall art from posters to framed art work designed to not only match your styles and themes, but to help with your baby’s development.

When you have a newborn, decorating and personalizing your child’s nursery can be not only fun to do, but can also have multiple benefits for your little one. It’s an important rite of passage for a parent who is preparing for the arrival of a little one to get to plan and take part in setting up a nursery. There are many important factors to consider when setting up a nursery. You may want to have a cute space that you enjoy or a more relaxing feel for the room. Instead, you may want a very stimulating room in which your child can play. Here at Rubbertoes Baby we have all kinds of wall art, room decor, and even furniture to choose from to decorate your baby’s or child’s space to reflect their interests and personality, as well as pieces that can help stimulate their development.

Room Decorating

There are multiple approaches to decorating a child’s room. You may find that the youngest babies are able to see high-contrast colors, such as black and white, more easily than they see muted colors. Older children, such as toddlers, are stimulated by bright, bold colors like red, blue, purple, or orange. The art work in a child’s room is important in this way, though not all parents and caretakers realize it. Any of the art pieces below would provide positive perception experiences by helping to further early childhood development. Art can vary greatly in price range, but their true value lies with the beholder.

When it pertains to a child’s room, color and style are essential to creating the perfect sleeping and playing areas. You want a balance of soothing colors to create a relaxing and comfortable space, but also something that can stimulate their minds. Start with quality wall décor items that also double in function as developmental pieces for your baby. Rubbertoes Baby offers you all you need for boys, girls, and mixed baby rooms that will keep up with a theme you envision.

Feeling a lack of money from under the thick ceiling above your head that actuaries and other financial professionals and politicians and crooks have created, which work together to help keep you down financially? (And no, I’m not a conspiracy theorist! I’m just educated and experienced.) Well then, you might need to change your money paradigm.  Paradigm shifts can help you progress or stifle in this world and specifically in the world of work and money.

A paradigm is a framework or glasses, so to speak, through which a person sees or thinks about a certain topic–in this case, money and making money. Paradigms of thought naturally shift and change during personal growth. A lack of ability to handle a paradigm shift can get in your way, which actually means that you can get in your own way, when a potential paradigm shift becomes too confusing or scares you as it brings up the unknown and challenges thinking patterns you were taught growing up, perhaps some things that are even hidden deep in your mind.

Freud saw three components to the structure of the non-physical mind: the id, ego, and super-ego as defined below:
Id — In its simplest terms, the id is composed of our base instincts.
Super-ego —  The super-ego works to moderate impulsiveness, encourages good morality, and generally plays the critical and moralizing role. The super-ego can stop a person from doing certain things that their id may want to do.
Ego — The ego is the organized and realistic part of the mind that I like to call the parent of the id and ego, which I see as two children with opposite drives in life.

I suggest that a money paradigm change begins with the ego

The ego, as I understand it, regulates everyday behavior and expectations, including the way one thinks about the relationships among money, action, and time. From my experience, the average person, assumes that there is a connection between money and time, the longer you work, the more money you will make. I note that there is truth to that assumption when one is paid a certain amount per hour. BUT, this puts a cap on earning potential based on the fact that there is a maximum of 24 hours in a day.

There is another group of people who don’t necessarily base money’s dependency on time. These individuals see money as a result of certain actions taken. Take the example of selling a car. If the price tag of that car is a non-negotiable price of $15,000, the seller will get 15,000 for selling the car whether the buyer takes 30 minutes or 3 hours to make the purchase. In this case, time is irrelevant and the action of buying the car determines the amount of money transacted based on the price of the car.

My recent experience in selling programs that make money, if anything, has shown me that people have a hard time switching from–thinking of money as tied to hours–to thinking of money as tied to action. I believe the strength of the ego is so formidable, that changing from the ingrained belief that “time = money” to a belief that “action = money” causes a cognitive dissonance so uncomfortable that the individual becomes anxious and often “gets in one’s on way.” The individual often cannot make the switch of one money paradigm (way of thinking about money) to the other money paradigm. That discomfort is so strong in some cases that clients make up excuses for not being able to continue a program that would literally make them very wealthy.

It is unfortunate that this helps propagate the dynamic of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer–especially with 1% of the population holding the world’s financial resources.

Could it be that the lack of money that the 99% find in their lives is at least somewhat self-imposed? I say, yes, absolutely. So, if you are lacking finances, ask yourself, do you need a paradigm change? Could you handle one? Or would you find yourself so uncomfortable with new ideas about money that you would make excuses for why it wouldn’t work–I don’t have time, I can’t do it, it’s a scam, it’s a pyramid, it’s not happening fast enough, it’s too hard, I can’t pay the money, and so on–just to avoid the discomfort of change? Well, perhaps the adage of nothing ventured, nothing gained is especially true in the world of money. I’m glad I’m a bit of a risk taker and can handle a good amount of cognitive dissonance.

Thanks, Rory Ricord, for communicating to me some of the money dynamics mentioned in this post. This would be a great research topic!

TESTIMONIAL

Hi. This is Leslie Jones and I am one of “Rory’s bloggers.” It is so fun for me. I love learning new skills and how the Internet REALLY works. I absolutely love creating a worldwide presence for products that I CHOOSE to advertise for to sell and make money. Rory has given me the skills and tools to make this happen for myself–and my family. Now I KNOW I can manage my own time and not be “slave” to others, not get bossed around by others. Listen, I grew up with three big sisters who bossed me around, I’ve had enough of that! 🙂

When I say this is fun for me, I really mean it. I feel like I’ve finally found my niche. I have my own websites now. I work with other BIG companies and choose the products I find interesting. Honest, this program is a dream come true for me. My personality requires, I would say DEMANDS that I have the freedom and creative freedom to create something significant. Well, this is it! Honestly.

And I have an amazing mentor. He answers ALL my questions. Sometimes we talk via Skype and often by phone and email and text. He is always available to me. He helps me so much. He is always explaining new ways to build up my income streams. I have unlimited potential now to make as much money as I can.

And I can’t say enough about Rory Ricord. He is honest, generous, giving, and truly wants you to succeed. At first, I worked with another company to create a website. The other company charged me 5 times the amount that this is program is virtually giving away Rory’s secrets. The other company gave me about 1 hour, honestly, 1 hour of training. Rory’s program, Blogging with Rory, gives me input on how to be successful anytime. I reach out to my mentor and he reaches out to me. We’re a team.

Now, I’m at a point where I am a mentor! I love it! I get to pass along what I have learned to others who want to make money online! How cool is that!

This program is 100% stone guaranteed too! Rory is so sure that you’ll make money with this program, that if you follow his instructions exactly and after two months, if you don’t make money, he will personally GIVE you $500. Flat out. That’s how sure he is that you will be successful at this. You can’t go wrong. You have everything to win. All you have to do is blog and post links and Rory will teach you how. If you can use a computer and type, you can do this and make money.

If you don’t like the average day-to-day routine of fighting your way through traffic and dealing with a strict environment and ornery co-workers, if you need retirement money to live on later in life, if you just want to work from home, this is an amazing and truly viable option for you.

Here’s my story. I am well-educated with a BS double major, an MS degree, international experience, 15-20 years as a government contractor, and a mom of three. I also spent 3 hours commuting each day, sat at my desk nose to the grindstone at my computer, AND miserable.

Recently, I made a career change. I love to get up and work. I get to stay home with my kids this summer, go swimming during the day, play badminton in my yard, and do just about anything I want to and have access to. I can even go to the lake nearby and play volleyball. Actually, I’m at Pine Knoll Shores, NC on vacation at the minute. Yet here I am, writing, working, actually–because I want to.

But I’m curious. Why, to some people at least, does my current career choice seem somehow “less” than a “real” job? What do I do? Network marketing, blogging, website maintenance, selling products online, recruiting, and mentoring. And I love it! I really, authentically love what I do. I have a  passion for it. I never imagined myself doing this.

And I don’t think I would have ever gotten here without being OPEN. Are you open? Could you make a change like I have? Maybe you love your 9-5 and more power to you. But I, for one, realized that I literally could not sit there at my desk for one more minute. So, one day I did the unthinkable. I packed my things and politely bid adieu. “How unprofessional!” you just said to yourself. I know. I never would have done that in a million years up until that moment. And I admit, I did go back for another month, but by then, I had given my notice of intent to resign.

But I realized that I could not continue to go against what my whole being was telling me–GET OUT before you die here. That’s what it felt like to me. So I took that trite-sounding leap of faith. Of course it wasn’t trite for me, it was the most freeing thing I’ve ever done.

Now, lest you think I recommend walking out of your job with no passion or plan ahead of you, I need to inform you that I started my businesses a year before this leap of mine. But I was open enough to even do that! And in network marketing, online advertising, blogging, no doubt. I left a great job. Good people, meaningful work (or it should have been, but wasn’t for me), good salary. But I realized I was brain-washed into thinking that I had to do what everyone else is doing. That’s just it. It wasn’t for me.

Now, I’m so glad I made the changes that I did. Truly happy even. Challenged, Rewarded, my voice is being heard.

So why is it that some people think that network marketing, selling products online the way I do is somehow “less” — less respectable, cheap, a scam? That I am somehow “less” for doing it? It’s not any of those things for me. It’s one of the best things that I’ve ever created for myself, made happen for myself (with the great help and support of Rory Ricord). Because of these changes, I feel more, I play more, I laugh more, I would go so far as to say I am more–more of myself and who I am meant to be.

So there. I’m just sayin’.

Do you have back pain? Do you have narrow feet or ill-fitting shoes?

I have narrow feet, so narrow in fact, that I couldn’t stand on them until after I was two years old!  I would just roll over! I remember getting braces on my legs to help me stand up. We had this great shoe store that had narrow sizes. These days it seems a lot harder to find good narrow shoes that aren’t too expensive.

The thing is that if you’re shoes don’t fit right, at the very least, you’ll be crabby! At worst, you can have back, foot, and neck problem.Some common conditions include Plantar Fasciitis, which I had and it lasted about a year. Other conditions include corns, bunions, blisters, and calluses. According to CVS, these are more common in women.  CVS also says that ill-fitting shoes can even cause hammer toes, heel pain, and  athlete’s foot. And don’t forget about big toe arthritis and bone spurs.

The National Institute on Aging indicates that clues to your overall health can be indicated by foot health. If any of the 26 bones in the human foot is out of wack or not aligned properly, it negatively affects the rest of your body. So, yeah, wow, even a tiny bone, when unaligned, can put your body at risk for health issues.

According to Foot Health Facts, the pain in your lower back may be linked to your feet.They emphasize that foot problems could cause additional problems in your hips, knees, and ankles. It’s my personal opinion that my narrow feet and difficulty finding shoes that fit well are partially to blame for my anterior cruciate ligament snapping in half during a soccer game (search images of anterior cruciate).

That event was not only traumatizing at 14, but has affected my mind and body ever since. This is the same injury that Robert Griffin, III sustained twice in his lifetime, once during his tenure with the Washington Redskins (though I don’t know if he only tore his ligament versus it snapping in half).

Needless to say, it is apparent that foot health is imperative. This is probably even more poignant for people with narrow feet.

When you look at the Saivian Program (Click Here if you Haven’t seen the Details directly yet), for some it looks far too good to be true.  This is merely a matter of education and dropping the cloak of ignorance from how Online Marketing, and the Value of a Unique User relates to Business and Revenues.

You see, each of us that use Google Search, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Etc… each of us are worth money to them that is equated on a revenue per day, per week, per month, per year basis.  This is used to value these Online Companies.  They are making this money from Advertisers that use their specific data on their users to market with and to advertise directly to, through the various online platforms.

So with Saivian, the power is in their Membership (us) that are submitting our Point Of Sale information (showing what and when and where we are buying); making their data and their Unique User’s worth even more.  So of course they can afford to pay out great amounts for acquisition (gaining new Unique Users).

Below are direct data and reports showing this concept in real (today) life.

Review, and when you see the light… CLICK HERE and let’s get going.  This isn’t something to wait and watch… it is something to act and move on.

Taken from BusinessInsider.com articles – the following depicts the revenue generated per “Unique User” across Social Media Platforms.  This is from Advertising Revenues.

…  …  …  Article 1  …  …  …

Frederic Filloux has an interesting analysis over at Monday Note.

Among other observations, Filloux illustrates how fantastically lucrative Google’s search business is.

On a digital-revenue-per-monthly-user basis, Google search dwarfs all other advertising-based businesses, including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.  Traditional “content” companies, meanwhile — like the New York Times, The Guardian, and BuzzFeed — generate so little revenue per reader that they’re basically rounding errors.

Monday Note

Filloux also suggests that, if the New York Times were valued at the same multiple of revenue as BuzzFeed is, the New York Times would have a valuation of $19 billion instead of $2 billion.

For what it’s worth, the reason the NYT is not valued at the same multiple of revenue as BuzzFeed is is, in part, the result of their relative growth rates. BuzzFeed is growing at 100% per year, while the NYT is flat.

…  …  …  Article 2  …  …  …

by Frédéric Filloux

Some legacy media assets are vastly underestimated.

Recent annual reports and estimates for the calendar year 2014 suggest interesting comparisons between the financial performance of media (either legacy or digital) and Internet giants.

I looked at seven companies, each in a class by itself:

A few explanations are required.

For two companies, in order to make comparisons relevant, I broke down “digital revenues” as they appear in financial statements: $351m for the New York Times ($182m in digital advertising + $169m for digital subscriptions) and, for The Guardian, $106m (the equivalent of the £69.5m in the Guardian Media Group annual report).

Audience numbers come from ComScore (Dec 2014 report) for a common reference. We’ll note traffic data do vary when looking at other sources – which shows the urgent need for an industry-wide measurement standard.

For valuations, stock data provide precise market cap figures, but I didn’t venture putting a number the Guardian’s value. For BuzzFeed, the $850m figure is based on its latest round of investment. I selected BuzzFeed because it might be one of the most interesting properties to watch this year: It built a huge audience of 77m UVs (some say the number could be over 100m), mostly by milking endless stacks of listicles, with clever marketing and an abundance of native ads. And, at the same time, BuzzFeed is poaching a number first class editors and writers, including, recently, from the Guardian and ProPublica; it will be interesting to see how Buzzfeed uses this talent pool. (For the record: If founder Jonah Peretti and editor-in-chief Ben Smith pull this off, I will gladly revise my harsh opinion of BuzzFeed).

The New York Times is an obvious choice: It belongs to the tiny guild of legacy media that did almost everything right for their conversion to digital. The $169m revenue coming from its 910,000 digital subscribers didn’t exist at all seven years ago, and digital advertising is now picking up thanks to a decisive shift to native formats. Amazingly enough, the New York Times sales team is said to now feature a ratio of one to one between hardcore sales persons and creative people who engineer bespoke operations for advertisers. Altogether, last year’s $351m in digital revenue far surpasses newsroom costs (about $200m).

A “normal” board of directors would certainly ask management why it does not consider a drastic downsizing of newspaper operations and only keep the fat weekend edition. (I believe the Times will eventually go there.)

The Guardian also deserves to be in this group: It became a global and digital powerhouse that never yielded to the click-bait temptation. From its journalistic breadth and depth to the design of its web site and applications, it is the gold standard of the profession – but regrettably not for its financial performances, read Henry Mance’s piece in the FT.

Coming back to our analysis, Google unsurprisingly crushes all competitors when it comes its financial performance against its audience (counted in monthly unique visitors):

Google monetizes its UVs almost five times better than its arch-rival Facebook, and 46 times better than The New York Times Digital. BuzzFeed generates a tiny $1.30 per unique visitors per year.

When measured in terms of membership — which doesn’t apply to digital media — the gap is even greater between the search engine and the rest of the pack :

The valuation approach reveals an apparent break in financial logic. While being a giant in every aspects (revenue, profit, market share, R&D spending, staffing, etc), Google appears strangely undervalued. When you divide its market capitalization by its actual revenue, the multiple is not even 6 times the revenue. By comparison, BuzzFeed has a multiple of 8.5 times its presumed revenue (the multiple could fall below 6 if its audience remains the same and its projected revenue increases by 50% this year as management suggests.)  Conversely, when using this market cap/revenue metric, the top three (Twitter, Facebook, and even LinkedIn) show strong signs of overvaluation:

Through this lens, if Wall Street could assign to The New York Times the ratio Silicon Valley grants BuzzFeed (8.5 instead of a paltry 1.4), the Times would be worth about $19bn instead of the current $2.2bn.

Again, there is no doubt that Wall Street would respond enthusiastically to a major shrinkage of NYTCo’s print operations; but regardless of the drag caused by the newspaper itself, the valuation gap is absurdly wide when considering that 75% of BuzzFeed traffic is actually controlled by Facebook, certainly not the most reliably unselfish partner.

As if the above wasn’t enough, a final look confirms the oddity of market valuations. Riding the unabated trust of its investors, BuzzFeed brings three times less money per employee  than The New York Times does (all sources of revenue included this time):

I leave it to the reader to decide whether this is a bubble that rewards hype and clever marketing, or if the NYT is an unsung investment opportunity.

So with the power of the Internet comes communication at the speed of Twitter… with the reach of Facebook, and the imagery of Pinterest and Instagram…

Never before have we seen technology connecting us in as fast a way as through the online platforms and Social Media outlets.  From Disasters to the Latest in the Hollywood or Sports Media scandals, we are more connected with each other today than ever before.

With more and more of the shared population globally joining in each and every second, of every hour, of every day.

Hi! My current 9-5 job recently moved me into literally a cubicle that is about 2.5 feet wide. Now, first, I have a hard time believing that this meets the job safety standards set by OSHA. Regardless, however, it has been detrimental to my body. I’ve had back spasms for three weeks. They are getting better, but have not gone away, and are still painful–even with Advil, muscle relaxers, and salon pas! Anyway, I had to work from home some and take some time off as well.

I’ve been in transition for some time now, going from my 9-5 job into my online marketing job. I want to do my rubbertoesbaby and my leslie’s offers sites along with other avenues for earning cash. Fortunately, this is going well for me. However, I didn’t want to leave my 9-5 team mates in the lurch, especially now, when we/they are going through a challenging time there. You know, I don’t think I’ll go into all of the gritty details, but suffice it to say that I reached the end of my rope–the point where I couldn’t take working in that environment anymore, not matter how much I truly like my teammates.

So, I made the gutsy decision to quit and plan to work only on social media, which I LOVE!

It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to tell my boss. Of course, my boss wasn’t so happy with me to say the least. But, I knew it was the right decision because my health was being affected negatively, I had no time or energy for my family. And I was miserable. Sounds trite, I’m sure, but it was THE TRUTH.

I had already spoken to my husband about this. And I texted him to tell him. We were both a bit nervous.

I mean, really, was I brave or dumb, lol!

Well, about 24 hours passed and I was in a meeting with my team. Turns out they REALLY didn’t want to lose me, so they offered to let me work part time and work from home some. Well, this was the perfect solution that would give me steady income while I also increase my online income, so that I can make the transition from one to the other when I’m ready.

I think that this experience was meant to happen exactly as it happened and turned out ideal. I literally got out of my cubicle and into the life that I really want for myself and my family. I’m HAPPY!

I might not advise everyone to quit their job, but maybe if you have opened other avenues for your self, and listen closely to God, or the energy around you, or yourself, or whatever it is that you believe in, you will hear and know when it’s time to make that brave move. If you’re a round peg, don’t squish yourself into that square hole. Trust and find out what else is out there for you. That’s what I’m doing and now, I am making room for myself in this world, to breathe, stretch, be creative, and really fulfill who I am meant to be.

This is my perspective. There are so many other perspectives out there. Where do you fit in? Think about it. Feel what’s going on around you. Don’t do what I do necessarily, but maybe open your mind and imagine what’s just above the horizon. This life won’t go on forever. Stretch your self and see how much space you really need.
