what do YOU want to know???

I absolutely love getting my emails from my readers.  I swear every time I open one, I'm like, "wow, this person actually reads my blog!  That's so freaking cool!"  I have to make a confession though.  Between my clothing and art companies and the blog, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed with responding to emails.  I do have an amazing employee over at Mountains of the Moon who rocks the customer service (love you Kari!), but the combined emails from my different businesses and projects have been piling up pretty quickly.  This especially holds true with the blog, where many of the emails are questions.  I always want to be able to take the time to properly answer them, and lately, I've been finding myself falling behind in my responses.  When that happens, I start to feel guilty for making people wait and stress creeps in and that's just no good for anyone.

Years ago, we put together an FAQ page for the clothing line's website, and many of our customers expressed to us how nice it was to be able to have their questions answered immediately without even having to call or email us.  So I decided that it was about time to do the same here at Bubby and Bean.  One thing I've noticed about the questions I get is that a lot of them overlap, and having a place where my readers can go to get immediate answers for common questions would make life just a little more awesome for everyone. 

Here's where you come in.  In order to make sure we're supplying your guys with information that you actually want to know, we need your input.  If you have a question for us, ask away!  We'll combine any new frequently asked questions with FAQ emails we already have on file to create a handy dandy page of goodness right here on the blog.  And even if your question is really unique or not "frequently asked," I'll do my best to answer it, either in a response to your email or in a future post.  The type of subjects covered in the questions we get on a regular basis include everything from blogging in general to blog design/editing to my career/the fashion industry to Robbie's career/the music industry to what type of cookware Morgan uses to stuff about dogs to what types of products we prefer to vegetarianism to travel to weddings to business advice to our future plans to how tall I am!  Yep.  And lots of other stuff too.  Some questions we get are very specific and some are very general.  But whatever the subject or question, if our readers are genuinely curious or interested, we are happy to provide answers (as long as they're appropriate, of course).

So all that said, if you have questions, I'd love to hear them (and answer them)!  You can ask via our contact form, through email (bubbyandbean AT gmail DOT com), or in the comments.  We'll take your questions for a week or so, and then let you know as soon our glorious, answer-filled FAQ page makes its debut.  Thanks so much for your help!  You guys are the best.

  2. How awesome! I would probably have like 20 questions if I sat down and listed them all. I think most of them will be asked by other people (one is already asked by Gina in the comment above me!) so I'll probably just quietly look forward to reading all the FAQs when you get them posted : ]

  4. How do you come up with so many new ideas of what to post? What is your advice for people thinking of starting blogs? Is it hard to juggle all your businesses? Thank you in advance.

  5. Since I'm way envious of my graphic design skillz, I'd like to know if you have a source for brushes or icons for Photoshop--or if you make all of them yourself. :-)

  6. Ugh, I mean YOUR design skillz. I'm obviously not envious of my own. Ha.

  7. I have a lot of questions so I'm going to email you but I would love to know how you balance everything and to learn some marketing suggestions. Also interested in if it's hard to have your husband on the road so much! And out of your three businesses if there's one you spend the most time on or if they are all equal. Thank you for letting us ask!
