I'm a Babywearer and I use a Fleece Pullover by Whizbeff Review

I'm a babywearer and didn't start until my second daughter, honestly I never knew there were products out there for it.  With my second daughter it wasn't a must, but I did when she felt that she needed to touch skin, if you read my previous post. 

With my 3rd daughter, she loves to be held close and being with mommy.  For a while when I would go to work and leave her with daddy, she had the hardest time because she wanted mommy to be with her.  So, I tried a Ergo Baby Carrier and it solved all issues.  We use this probably almost every day.  What we found hard was if we were outside, was to keep myself warm and to keep her warm.



Well, you all know how much I love Etsy right?  Well I found this beautiful Fleece Pullover from Whizbeff and oh my gosh, I fell in love.  Daddy and I went to a yard sale one Saturday morning and it was cold outside, she wanted to be held...So I put this Pullover on overtop of my ergo baby carrier, and seriously we were set to go. Look at this, I thought this was awesome and it was needed. 

We used this everywhere we went, Baby B loved it because it kept her warm, but didn't mean I had to put on a gob of clothes just to keep her warm.  It was awesome.  We have washed it several times and have had no issues.



Now that it is springtimeout and there is still that chill out and you need a little something to keep warm and a little something to keep your child warm, whizbeff has just what you need, a Babywearing Vest that you can wear over your babywearer and keep both you and baby warm.

Now that I am a babywearer, I am so amazed of all the beautiful products out there and certainly amazed by the handmade products that mama's make!

Here is a little bit about the mama behind Whizbeff:
i'm a gal who loves to craft almost as much as i love my husband and my six B-E-A-Utiful kids.



the outdoors inspires my crafting most of the time.


i think my ideal day would involve some hiking with my funky bunch, crafting, thrift store hoping, hanging out with soul mates discussing theology over tea, and more crafting.

Whizbeff doesn't just specialize in these special pullovers, she makes other products that are just as amazing.  Head on over to Whizbeff's Etsy Shop and you will love her stuff just as much as I do.

CC Bums Cloth Diaper Review

Photobucket
I recently was given the opportunity to review Cami Court's Diapers, by name CC Bums. CC Bums...Going Green....Upcycling and recycling fabrics to better the earth and save you money! My company is designed for the everyday moms and dads who care about the earth AND their wallet.

Cami sent me one of her Pocket One Size Fitted Diapers and one of her first homemade three trifold, two layer flannel insert. Its beautiful right! I was so excited to be the first one to test her inserts.

As of late, I am cloth diaper obsessed, so I find so much pride in being able to review them and get to test the ins and outs of them. This is important to me, just as much as it is important for the business that I am reviewing them for. So I normally run through a series of tests to see how the diaper holds up.

After we washed it twice to get the maximum absorbancy, I was so excited to put it to the test on Baby B. Baby B is such a good tester, :)

This one size fitted diaper has three adjustable rise settings for small, medium and large. Baby B is about 15 pounds and we had it on the second setting for medium. What a great fit. I love the tabs because it allows the tabs to be as tight as you need them to be to cross over. We had no gaps on the legs.

As we all normally know, fitted diapers, you normally need a cover. We fell asleep one night with the diaper on and didn't place a cover on her. 6 hours later, we woke up and she was still dry on the outside and the bed wasn't wet. The inside was super wet, but was quite absorbent enough and we only found that the front top (Baby B was laying on her tummy) was a little wet on the outside underneath the tabs. Honestly I was shocked because normally you need to have a diaper cover so that nothing else gets wet. Well, we didn't have to! I was quite happy. We did try this diaper again on another night and this time, we placed an additional insert in the pocket to see if that would help that little bit of wetness at the front top and that cured that.

I was so excited to report back to Cami, what an awesome diaper. I would even refer this diaper to a friend who is just starting to cloth diaper, because it is just simply easy.

The only concern I had after using the diaper a couple of times is since the absorbency is so high that it would take several times to dry after being washed and that was not the case. I have found that placing a towel in with the cloth diapers really cuts the drying time of the diapers and cleaner diapers much quicker.

Here are her diaper costs:
