Catchick 6 Creations Custom Woolie Review and Giveaway Ends 12/27




So, I am a mommy who never really ventured out into the world of wool.  I tried them way back when I first started cloth diapering and I liked them and then I royally messed up some wool I had by putting it in the dryer and it looked like something that I would put on my doll baby.  Yes, I did do that.  It was horrible and I broke down.  


So it really took me a while to get back into wool and I think the wool dryer balls have drawn me back in, but I am paying much more attention to things now.  Baby isn't an infant anymore, so I can concentrate on what I am really doing.  Haha.


Plus I always had that image that all wool made you really itchy but I learned not all wool makes you itchy.  It really just depends on the top of wool that you chose and use.  However Elizabeth was very helpful and walked me along the way with everything and told me what is considered itchy and what isn't.


I recently worked with Elizabeth from Catchick6 Creations and she is a great mommy!  Here is some info:
My name is Elizabeth. I have three children, who are my constant inspiration, Tuesday, age 13, Quinn, age 10 and River, age 4 years. I have lived in New Jersey for most of my life. I used to be an elementary teacher, but now I am a stay at home mom. I have been painting and sewing all of my life. I have a visual arts degree from Rutgers University. I love to paint, sew and design childrens' clothing. I love to design my own appliques and make clothing that is unique and fun to wear. I hope you enjoy what you see and come back often! I take pride in my work and it is important to me to please my clients. Please come back often to see what my new designs are! thanks!
When I first started working with Elizabeth, she asked me what I was interested in.  For some time I have had my eye on this beauty and I wanted it.  It was her custom shorties with leggings but I really loved exactly the one that was posted.  What I didn't know about wool is that many people use sweaters and that she would have to search for it and see if she could find something that resembled it.


This shortie included one applique chosen from all of her designs placed wherever you would like it. She will custom make the shortie/leg warmers to your specifications.....down to the color, fiber, weight and design. 





I sent Elizabeth my specifications.  I had to go back quite a few times because I wasn't doing it right, but after finally getting it right, I got it.  I told her that I really wanted the strips

Here is the creation that Elizabeth came up with.  Oh I couldn't want to get it in the mail.  It was gorgeous and I was so excited.

The shortie soaker comes with drawstrings, which is something that I chose because it works so much better with Baby B then having something really tight.  Her skin is so sensitive that it leaves marks otherwise.


She also made gorgeous leggings which have adjustable tops.  I like the adjustable tops but with Baby B's legs I just can't get them right without them leaving a marking on her leg.  So I just place them on the lightest so it doesn't leave any markings!




 Here is Baby B in action with her shorties and leggings.
I have to tell you that she looks absolutely adorable in
these.  Wool great for those babies who are super wetters because these do not leak.  I have never ever had a leakage problem with wool and honestly I don't think I have ever heard of anyone else having leaking problems with wool.

When we first tried them we tried them without the leggings, we already had leggings on, so I just left it that way.  I was in love.  I think she was in love.  Daddy wasn't so sure.  But I don't think he cares like I do.  LOL.  The next night we tried them with the wool leggings and it was just gorgeous. Baby B could walk around and crawl around everything stayed in place and they also did the main thing I wanted them to do and that was to hold the wetness in.
I did go a little bit bigger, hence the reason I wanted the drawstring, because I wanted Baby B to be able to wear these for quite sometime.  I didn't want to get them right her size and then she not be able to wear them for very long.  Baby B is 13 months and she is already in almost 24 months, so she is growing so fast.  I am really happy with getting them a bit bigger which even Elizabeth suggested that we do.

So, have you tried wool?  Well don't be scared.  Seriously I can see why you would be scared, but really no reason to be.  These are amazing, so, and quess what they keep your baby warm but do not overheat them.  They are what I call Gorgeous Wool!

Elizabeth was a real pleasure to deal with.  She was very understanding and helped make me understand what I needed to do and even how everything worked.  I know she had to explain to me a couple times about some of the things and she was so easy going about it and I just want to Thank you for being such a great momma and being so understanding.

All I Want for Christmas Event: Velvet Rabbit Cloth Diapers Review and Giveaway Ends 12/7

I love my cloth diapers to have a little flare, you know...something that if someone sees the diaper, it tells a little bit about my daughter and/or our style on them, but not exactly their name where if I wanted to sell this diaper I couldn't unless someone's child had the same name.  I say all this to say because recently I was contacted by Emily, the WAH behind Velvet Rabbit Cloth, Emily is a great woman and was a real sweet person.  What I thought about her it was great to hear from someone who wanted to work with me and was wanting to tell me as much information as she could to help me a long the way.  She has lots of information on cloth and I love that she was so easy to work with! Here is a little about her:

Hello from Oregon!
I've been sewing for most of my life and have this Etsy shop to share some of my art with the rest of the world. I loved cloth diapering my own babies and want to share the love of cloth with other families. I strive to make unique diapers that are highly functional, durable, and soft using the highest quality materials. I am also an avid gamer geek and a lot of my designs strongly reflect this.

Emily uses the pattern with permission from the JeM'appelle Ultimate Nappy pattern to make her cloth diapers! She sent us her One Size fits most in the most adorable color and with a beautiful saying on the back.  Baby B is my "Angel" and always had been, we had a lot of problems during pregnancy with her and all I wanted to do was to have her safely and she be ok. While at the end we ended up in the hospital for about 2 weeks, for the safety of myself and her, she is my "Angel" and is my sweetheart. Baby B was born 6 weeks early and honestly if the doctors were not my savior Baby B would have been born 9 weeks early!  So, they held me on as long as they could until Baby B could no longer handle it and was then breech!  So, Angel just matched her and fit her.

The JeM'appelle pattern One Size is a very trim diaper fitting from 5 to 40 pounds.  The diaper she sent me was a gorgeous pink with the word "Angel" on the back and a gorgeous soft purple on the inside. I often wondered if embroidered diaper would have leaking problems, but they don't! They don't leak because she reinforces the back. Basically there is a 2nd piece of PUL under the hoop and she sews it back over on itself to make a little PUL shell that completely covers the back of the embroidery so they don't leak. Check it out here to see a picture of it.




Baby B had a great fit in this diaper and as cute as the "Angel" diaper is, she looks adorable in this diaper.   We did have one leak, however it was not a diaper issue, it was I didn't put the snaps on correctly to give her the right fit.  As soon as I fixed the snaps it fit her great with no leaks.  This diaper has side snaps which prior used to take me a while to get snapped up on my daughter, but not anymore, Mommy has become a pro to hurry and get her diaper on because she is a walking Baby B.










Velvet Rabbit Cloth doesn't just make diapers however, she also makes cloth pads for us mama's who like to use cloth. She has a dedicated webpage to cloth pads


Emily is really trying to get her Etsy Shop going so make sure you tell your friends about this great cloth diaper and mama pad shop!

All I Want for Christmas Event: Comfy Rumps Cloth Diapers Review and Giveaway Ends 12/5

ComfyRumps.com Diaper Services was born on a rainy November day in Vancouver, BC by Christie and Trey. After paying over two hundred dollars for 11 name brand diapers, and noticing 11 diapers was enough for a day and a half (max!), we decided washing them every day was not another chore we wanted to add to the list. Soon after, we launched our company with a great single product! Today we are continually working to provide affordable and environmentally friendly diapering alternatives to families across Canada and the USA.

Our goal is not to make a killing on selling diapers and diaper services. Our goal is to ensure that after our time, our children, grand children, and future generations can proudly say “Our parents/grandparents did their job to ensure we can breathe clean air, and drink clean water”. Our modern world war is the war on climate change and pollution. We are all responsible for making sure that our future generations do not suffer from the way we choose to live today. Nearly everything comes in disposable versions these days offering convenience in many aspects of our lives, but at what cost? We are proud to say we are trying to do our part, to promote a healthy planet for future generations and we strive to offer encouragement and education to everyone we can in order to help them do the same.


Comfy Rumps is a company that wants to stand out and be proud of what they do and I honestly believe that they do a wonderful job of showing that.  They also don't want to charge an arm and a leg for a cloth diaper because they just want to see everyone using them, so their diapers are very costly!

We received our Comfy Rumps and immediately fell in love. There was something diffent about this diaper that not many others had. It was the second row of snaps, which many companies have, but normally they go all the way across, however not this company!  And and I really like that because it was a great fit on Baby B.
We use the last snap on the bottom and the top can go much further than that on the top and we really like that it has this amazing fit.

Baby B is a big girl and these are one size diapers.  Most one size diapers we have the snaps pulled all the way out, however not with the Comfy Rumps
Now since reviewing this diaper, they have had something new come out and I am really upset.  At this house we have a thing for minky.  And Comfy Rumps has now come out with Minky Cloth Diapers. I am determined to find a minky blanket that we like but that hasn't happened yet.  I WISH. But we love minky around these parts and I am so bummed that I missed out on that one, but they look so soft and lovely!
This diaper was also different in the fact that it had a tag sewn in it with directions on how to wash the diaper.  I notice this because I don't think I have any other diapers, maybe one or two that have this tag sewn in there you normally receive a print out with your diaper, which is fine also.  But I think some tend to forget after a while.

Comfy Rumps also has many accessories to get your inserts, wetbags and other needs.

Comfy Rumps would like to give two of my readers/followers a Comfy Rump Cloth Diaper of their choice.

All I Want for Christmas Event: FluffyRumps Review and Giveaway Ends 12/5

Fluffy Rumps?  You know what they are right?  Yep that is right more fluffy for your babies' bums.  Who doesn't want more?  Who doesn't need more?

I never used to be a mommy who liked to use my fitted diapers and honestly you could have probably looked in Baby B's fluffy drawers and couldn't find any because I wasn't a fan.  That was until I came across fleece soakers. 

Fluffy Rumps: Black fleece Soaker with paint splatter!
Fluffy Rumps makes beautiful products of fleece.  I never thought I would like fleece because I really didn't think that they were that water resistant.  However I was really wrong.

FluffyRumps are available in a variety of fun prints, and are made from fleece to provide awesome water resistant qualities. They are made of one layer of fleece with an extra layer sewn into the wet zone. (If you don't want the extra layer subract $1 from the price.)



They are available in sizes Preemie to XXXL. Sizing is in inches as follows:


r=rise, w=waist, th=thigh


Be sure to measure your little one with the diaper that you are going to cover ON, so you will get the right fit! If your measurements don't fit into the standard size ranges, I'd be happy to work with you on a custom size. :)

Fleece soakers work much like wool however they are much easier to take care of then wool.  I first came across Fluffy Rumps from another company who sells her products and I fell in love from them from their.

They are so easy to use and easily just fit right over any of your fitted, prefolds and even PUL diapers.  And if you have a diaper that leaks but it is your favorite, you can still use it because you can just through this soaker or longies right on over it!

And to top it all off, they are so so CUTE!  I mean they are absolutely adorable! How could you not want some.  I promise that you will fall in love with them like I did and start having more fitted diapers because of it.

Woot, don't you want some Fluffy Rumps? Fluffy Rumps are exactly that.  I have fallen in love too, because they are my rock and I wouldn't have it any other way without them!  I need them!

Baby B was just starting to walk and Sister E loves to help her! And look how adorable they are!

My Diaper Addiction Review & $10 GC Giveaway Ends 11/18


Do you have a diaper addiction? We do, or should I say I do!  I dare add my husband into that he would kill me!  HAHA. I'm addicted to fluff and everything about it. 

Well there is this awesome shop called My Diaper Addiction that will help you with your diaper addiction like it has helped mine.  I'm a cloth diaper addict, so when I saw My Diaper Addiction, I just knew this was all about me and our little lady.


My Diaper Addiction

She sent us her One Size Toddler (this exact diaper here) Fitted Cloth Diaper which has a cotton knit outer and a silky velour inner. The soaker is 6 layers of thirsty bamboo fleece topped with matching cotton velour. This double snap-in soaker is sewn together at one end for quick drying time and a more thorough washing.
All this creates a squishy soft diaper with a fabulous fit!

I have just recently gotten very into fitted diapers and what they are about.   Prior I just felt it was too much work to put on a fitted diaper and then put on a cover, but here lately we have been very pleased with fitted diapers and covers!  Baby B is a wetter and very much so a wetter at night time.  But what I learned with Baby B she doesn't wet when she is sleeping, it is when she wakes.  She wakes up all the time at night and lays there touching my necklace or my hair, or my glasses if I have accidentily left them on from the night  before.

This fitted diaper is made with love and such an ease to use.  Much to my surprise it is much like a pocket with PUL, just not.  It is really a Fitted AIO One Size. Of course me we decided to use try the diaper during the day without a cover.  A couple of weeks ago Baby B had a double ear infection and we were on antibiotics and you all know how those antibiotics are on baby's bums.  Well she ended up getting a rash, her first one since cloth diapering since last year!  EEK.  Anyway. So I tried this fitted diaper without a cover and just a t-shirt to wear around the house.  I knew when she was wet, but it never got wet on the outside.  Sorry for no pictures, but I will post some of her in her diaper tonight!

So we really loved this fitted cloth diaper and love the ease of it.  Even Coupon Daddy figured out that this diaper didn't have PUL and it needed a cover, so I was overall pretty impressed with that. Go Daddy! This fitted diaper lasted our night for 7 hours with no problems and didn't even feel wet on the outside.  The diaper was wet on the insert, but not the actual diaper and for me this is important.  I'm kind of funny about my cover.  I get a little weirded out when the fitteds are soaked through and the cover is wet, I feel I have to wash them.  I know I don't have to, but I think it is just me.

What I love about My Diaper Addiction is that she makes fitted diapers for every baby.  Your newborn baby, your skinny butt baby, your one size toddler and petite baby, your fattycakes (chunky) babies and even custom.

Wee Expressions Cloth Diapers Review and Giveaway Ends 11/9

One of the most recent diapers that I was able to review was one made my a stay at home mom of 4 girls aging from 11 years old to 13 months, Lauren.  Lauren just recently opened up her own shop on Etsy, Wee Expressions and she makes great diapers.

But first I will tell you, when I got this diaper it did come with pins, however I'm not a pin user and I have never used pins before.  I tried my very hardest to use them, but I could never get it tight enough and it would leak.  So, I went and ordered a Snappi and I am so glad that I did.  I have one other diaper that doesn't have any snaps or aplix so I can use the snappi with it too and I'm addicted.  Is that weird?
Lauren makes her Fitteds out of flannel with 2 layers of Zorb for the soakers and if you have a boy, there is an extra layer at the front! They are quite soft and nice and trim, but thick for babies use.
She makes them in 5 sizes with that being newborn, small, medium, large, x-large.
 


For us fitted diapers are just what I like to use at night time anyway with a wonderful cover.  Plus Baby B goes to the sitters during the day during the week and she would be so confused with this diaper, because my husband was too and that is because they wouldn't know how to use the snappi or pins.  I did try to get my husband on board, but he was afraid that he would hurt DD.   So, I always put fitted diapers to the test at night. Once I got that snappi on there and it was nice and snug and we had no gaps, I put a cover on Baby B and we were set to go.  The next morning we woke up and the bed wasn't wet and neither was the cover.  The fitted was damp on the outside, but nothing that I wasn't used to with any other fitteds that we use.

Lauren also uses her own fitted cloth diapers on her 4th baby.  So, these diapers are amazing products and what mama wouldn't want to use these!

I also received a matching wipe with the diaper, so this mama also makes wipes in beautiful prints.  She also make other beautiful products that you need to check out.

BUY IT:

CSN Review: • Three Drawer Hamper/Storage Unit

Recently, I was given a gift card to make a purchase through one of 200 stores through CSN Stores.com.  I have to be honest here there are so many stores, that it took me a while to really figure out what we wanted.

But we all know that I am addicted to cloth diapers, right?  I know you know that, and honestly that is what I really wanted to get. However after searching for cloth diapers, the ones that I really wanted, they were out of stock.  I was so bummed.  But with still sticking to the Cloth Diapers theme, I really needed another bin to put out cloth diapers in so I could have some in the living room and some in the bedroom.

So, I went on a search and it took me a while to find the perfect one.  And I found it, right here, a Three Drawer Hamper/Storage Unit.

It came in a easy to carry box for me and I thought hey I will put it together.  It was easy enough for me to put together but with the 3 kids running around and the younger ones wanting to touch all the pieces, it didn't work out.  When DH got home though, he was able to put it together within 20 minutes.

DH was really impressed with the Three Drawer Hamper/Storage Unit and he was happy with the looks of it. He was a little bummed that I already had ideas for this three drawer hamper though because he thought it would have been a good fit for our closet for socks and underwear.

The 3 drawer bin is very easy to open and shut and the durability to hold our cloth diapers and inserts works very well! However my 3 year old thinks like some of the other furniture we have, hey I can sit on this or climb on it, but it isn't strong enough for her nor anyone at that matter.  It does have to be picked up very carefully or it will come apart!  But we like it and I think it works great in our girls bedroom so that we can put her cloth diapers in them.  This is not extra furniture, but it does the trick of what we need it for.  Too bad we didn't have more to add one in our bedroom and one in my 9 year olds room!

It is a pretty stylish bin though!  The Three Drawer Hamper Unit gives you extra storage space but not extra furniture! This model is very lightweight and is extremely easy to assemble!


Features:
  • Great for laundry/clothes, toys, hats and mittens, diapers, etc.
  • Unfinished so you can finish yourself to match Baby's nursery or any room in your home
  • Easy pull out drawer is a breeze to load and unload
  • Canvas can be spot cleaned as needed
  • Overall unit measures 15.25"Lx14.25"Wx29.5"H and the pull out drawer measures 13.75"Lx13.5"Wx26.5"H
  • Some easy assembly required
  • Illustrated instructions included
  • Canvas drawers are 80% cotton and 20% polyester
  • We recommend spot cleaning as needed
     
You guys ought to check out CSN Stores.com, because there is so many stores to look around and prices are very reasonable.  But they have everything even a kitchen sink!
