</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From their site:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Meeno Babies is a new baby company that strives to create innovative products for the everyday parent. Collectively, Meeno Babies possesses over 100+ years of experience in the baby industry, from design and compliance, to development and manufacturing. Meeno Babies is committed and dedicated to providing safe, reliable, quality products for the everyday parent.</div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">To compliance and beyond!</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Meeno Babies understands the importance of safety, which is why all Meeno Babies products are CPSIA compliant and have passed independent 3rd party crash testing by accredited labs on different seat models and brands to provide assurance and a peace of mind for the everyday parent. Even though crash testing was not required, we did it anyway!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Experience:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was sent the toddler[Car Seat] Cool Mee Seat Liner to use this summer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_9XxaiLvstlDCsUvypLMrScoUMM21K3CK7OMa5jERdyHvIS1U9sJ_zqrFU3p63to7i-QfbmCTBS4aXzTjMDTaKL1T_2hRzb2MzejGEr-wp6fFNPqQ6F0CmUiLu0GoBXwDChWu8GwAMM-/s320/MBseats.jpg" width="320" xaa="true" /></div><br />
<br />
<div align="center">It comes with the seat liner the, head rest liner and a piece of aplix to apply to your car seat so you can adjust the height of the liner. The instructions were vey easy and the liner was installed in no time. Which is a welcomed relief when compared to the amount of time, effort and aggrevation it took to install the actual car seat correctly. </div><div align="center">As many of you readers know, living in Alaska is usually cold. However, our summers are wonderful. We peak in the summer with temperatures in the 80s. Mind you, compared to our freezing temps nearly year round, 80 degrees is an oven to an Alaskan. So when July hit and we finally had the need for the air conditioner in the car, I put the Meeno Babies liner in. </div><div align="center">You can see the difference after one car ride. The liner literally pulled the sweat off my 18 month old. You could tell she was much more comfortable during our car rides in the hot summer days. In addition, her car seat was lacking in really great cushion, like most car seats are. By installing the Meeno Babies Car Seat Liner, I added extra cushion. And i didn't have to worry about it affecting the car seat's safety because the liner is not only CPSIA compliant but also crash tested!</div><div align="center">So now that the Alaskan summer is ending, I will be leaving the liner in my babe's seat year round!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Meeno Babies even went a step further and designed liners to use in strollers!! Perfect for those outings to the farmer's market or the state fair where babie's can easily get hot and uncomfortable.</div><div align="center">Check out all they have to offer by visiting their site: <a href="http://www.meenobabies.com/index.html">HERE.</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My Personal Experience:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed trying this diaper out simply because it is unlike any other I have used. It has the front elastic as well as the back and it has (side) snaps on the "tabs". It is an AI2 system with a lay in folding insert. The ease of use is wonderful, no stuffing required, just fold the insert and lay it inside. The insert stays in place quite well and only had minor bunching when wet. It never slid out of place. The absorbency level for this diaper is about a medium in my book, mostly due to the very narrow underside of the diaper between the legs. This is a nice feature when it comes to having a trim diaper but it did cause some issues for us when it came to ability to hold a lot of wetness directly in the heaviest area for a girl. This diaper also lacks leg gussets, which could have been a contributing factor to our leaking between the leg area since we did have gapping. I never had a poo explosion in this diaper so I can't say for sure how it would hold up to that without leg gussets. The PUL used on their "QD" Diaper is a 2mil PUL and seems to be or GREAT quality. I really love their embroidery options as well, especially their Ecofriendly ones.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We found this diaper worked best for us when paired with our babylegs and a shirt that does not snap over it (not a onsie). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

I was sent an absolutely adorable light blue diaper with the i <3 my planet embroidery. I took this cute diaper to florida with us on vacation, The diapers basic design is similar to that of the "QD" only a bit slimmer and the inner material is different. The diaper has a nice mesh inner to catch and hold and poops that might occur. It did a great job doing that. It does not hold much pee though, I had Lilly on my lap and she went in it and soaked my leg, but as a poo catcher for in the pool it gets the job done with style! They even have corresponding swim suits to match their diapers for little girls, How Cute!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.clothdiaperseh.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=162#" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Click to see full size image" border="0" src="http://www.clothdiaperseh.com/store/thumb.asp?width=200&path=E:%5Cwebspace%5Cacm-dc22%5Cdiaperseh%5Cclothdiaperseh.com%5Cwww%5Cfpdb%5Cimages/CIMG9095.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Both of these diapers feature an amazing amount of absorbency options due to their multiple snap in soakers, the bitti tutto is their one size system and comes with 3 snap in soakers, and the bitti boo is a fitted that requires a cover it comes with two snap in soakers and the option to add more snap on boosters! We tried these diapers will all sorts of absorbency options from one two or all three soakers. I know some of you are thinking, oh sounds confusing, or hubby won't like that they are complicated, but guess what!? The snaps are color coded for ease of use!!! They literally "show you" where to snap them in at! I really enjoy both of these systems, the bitti boo is by far my favorite fitted with snap in inserts Here is some (lots) of info from their site about the bitti boo fitted diaper with snap in inserts.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"></span></span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img alt="bitti boo cloth diapers" src="http://ittibitti.com.au/images/site/logo-bitti-boo.png" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial;" /></span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Amazing absorbency with bamboo/organic cotton soaker pads, bamboo/organic cotton velour inner and outer, plus snaps to add mini boosters and make these one of the best ever itti bitti nappies!</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Totally lush, super trim AND really absorbent, it’s no wonder bitti boo’s are such a favorite!</span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">bitti boo's are designed with the signature ultra trim itti bitti fit, they are <strong>super soft</strong> and stay that way, wash after wash.</span></div><ul style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: url(http://ittibitti.us/themes/ittibitti/images/menu-leaf.gif); background-origin: initial; background-position: 1px 0.35em; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; list-style-image: none; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0.15em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.15em; padding-bottom: 0.2em; padding-left: 1.5em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><strong>supreme absorbency with two itti bitti snap in bamboo boosters in the same style as our Snap In One’s with the hourglass booster also topped in silky soft bamboo velour</strong></span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">All in all I must say I love the itti bitti diapers I have very little negatives to say about them. The only negatives I could possibly think of is that the inserts get a bit stiff when wet in the beginning but once they have been washed and worn for a while this issue goes away, the fact that it is a snap-in may deter some, but I assure you its not a bad feature at all! It just takes a tiny bit of getting used to the style. </div><div style="text-align: center;">You can easily explore their site at all of the links I have above and find a retailer near you or online :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">-or- </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGlmRGpiQWxYLUZQWFcwakRURkZlSFE6MQ"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>You can enter to win one itti bitti diaper by clicking here!</b></span> </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcNSJ7mSkHw5MF-XUCXruNJo7l3Nngu1vUO503DWDiKhKnXjdKNlPyVHVFDs0QUB4mloF0xGpV_tbRkTNM_Lq6Slqub479MEXE913ufg2J3fYoFLzIXJ7R4OR7y0mc85q4ofMGPcidHBWn/s1600/Nikkisig.png" /></div>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12957724884405581678noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757933885508927791.post-33259946109047945262011-05-02T10:14:00.002-08:002011-05-02T10:19:55.577-08:00North American Bear CO.,INC.

We take her with us when we go out because when Lilly gets sleepy and fussy she will snuggle her. The quality of this doll is wonderful, at first I was scared about the hair(fabric) on the doll thinking my daughter would rip it off but she hasn't yet and I too gave it a good tug for good measure, it didn't budge.

She began making her fleece creations earlier this year. Her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mama-Bird/174156725964398?sk=wall">Facebook</a> fan page has quickly gained fans [currently nearing the 900 mark!], no doubt due to an interest in her unique projects.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hurley's Experience:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As a fellow cloth diapering products maker, I know how important it is to write a thorough review of products that come so close to your babies skin. I find that a lot of blogs write responses of diapering products on initial thoughts and experience. However, I think how a diaper [or soaker in this case] holds up to extended wear and tear is an important aspect for readers to see. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the soaker that Monica from Mama Bird sent me, I was able to get a full months use out of it before writing. She wore it at least twice a week and it was washed at least twice a week in that time frame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a photo of Turtle wearing it the first time:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiredGDU27Ao2tW3Ar2HmPvsRNWr0_3KDQyblFgkHBh8_7hESkVpuow_ur5aj-WsWTFxm0dtODhkEw1YBRXwrnOXJL5zDW7VJ63aS81jc_OVMUsHhHhlYETF2PwQCY1K6EnWwPr3lqe_MNX/s1600/fleece.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiredGDU27Ao2tW3Ar2HmPvsRNWr0_3KDQyblFgkHBh8_7hESkVpuow_ur5aj-WsWTFxm0dtODhkEw1YBRXwrnOXJL5zDW7VJ63aS81jc_OVMUsHhHhlYETF2PwQCY1K6EnWwPr3lqe_MNX/s400/fleece.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first impression of the soaker was that is was so soft and clearly well made. After prepping and putting it on Turtle I did notice it was tad bit tight around the legs, but otherwise it fit wonderfully. I need to stress one fact to parents who plan on ordering fleece soakers: Make sure you measure your child before ordering. It probably wouldn't hurt to double check your measurements too. Its a common issue with diaper covers that are a fixed size to have them be too small or too big upon arrival.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The best way you can measure your child is while they are wearing a fitted diaper. Obviously, the fleece soaker would have to be large enough to fit over it. =]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Over the span of time I tested this soaker, we used it at all different times of the day. It held up to my heavy wetter without fail. Even overnight it held in the moisture. Considering my <span style="background-color: white;">daughter typically sleeps for about 9-12hrs per night, I'd say this soaker earned my seal of approval.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">Washing:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">When it came time to do diaper laundry, the fleece soaker would be amongst all of Turtle's other diapers. My wash routine consists of one cold wash without detergent, one hot wash with a small amount of cloth diaper friendly detergent, and one more cold cycle without detergent [which acts as a double rinse]. I always hang dry everything diapering related.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After a month of use, the Mama Bird fleece soaker has withstood all of my abuse and the only side effect was the slight piling of the surface. Piling is a common trait with all fleece. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Giveaway:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Monica from Mama Bird would like to give one of our fans a custom standard soaker (non-applique), from a print or solid colors, boy or girl!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> We took it along on our vacation to Florida. The boys were super excited to have something new to try out. They of course all wanted to use the super cute tooth brush that comes with the Smile Buddy, but it wouldn't be fair to only let one use it so they used their own instead. As a mom I love the tooth timer, it keeps the boys at the sink brushing longer than they would normally brush without it. The flossers are great to makes flossing easy for little ones. The case that it all come is in very sturdy, but can be hard to open. I like that the kids need an adult to open it, it lets me know they aren't playing with it when they aren't supposed to(like boys do ). The crest toothpaste is nice but I would love to see a brand like Tom's included instead, since its eco friendly. They really enjoyed having something new and fun to help them with their oral care, and I really enjoyed watching them have fun brushing! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBo_4vK-_XyHPkVPw4758KuLy3Iaq9Qy1OQjY1h7StYhVGTTQhm1XQoII4OYHHcByXwYv41sH14OZblG56Zv208Bb50xRi8h5Y2oW-4dZKUvg8PAy4T2Sxfo9OVDUJlg_CRC_GOZObMOY/s1600/100_0011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBo_4vK-_XyHPkVPw4758KuLy3Iaq9Qy1OQjY1h7StYhVGTTQhm1XQoII4OYHHcByXwYv41sH14OZblG56Zv208Bb50xRi8h5Y2oW-4dZKUvg8PAy4T2Sxfo9OVDUJlg_CRC_GOZObMOY/s320/100_0011.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our Personal Experience:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">My boys were very excited when the Boysterous action figures arrived. They </span>immediately opened them and explored them, figuring them out. They then opened up the Extreme Sports Zone and played with the figures for quite a while. They decided to make them even more fun they pulled out some of their own toys from their toybox and made a fun Extreme Sports World for them.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I appreciated the high quality of the figures. The boys play rough so I was worried about them ripping the limbs off or something else horrible like that, but the Boysterous figures withstood all of the rough play and came out just fine. They really are a wonderful travel toy as well. We had to go to the ball park for my older children's baseball game so my youngest asked to take the figures so he wouldn't be bored. We tossed them inside the Extreme Sports Zone and took them along. The other children(ages3-6) at the park LOVED them. They were all asking where we got them and discussing how cool they were. My youngest son was so proud of the new figures and shared them with another kid, they played with them for the entire baseball game!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Boysterous figures sadly came home quite dirty from the park so we "gave them a bath". I just wiped them down with a warm washcloth and they were good to go. Super easy to clean! I am super impressed with the Boysterous products and would highly recommended them for your small boys! They would also make and excellent gift you can get a figure and the Extreme Sports Zone for under $50!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">The Little Lasso is a mom-designed, mom-made solution to the age old problem of toddlers tossing take-along items. It easily secures sippy cups, bottles, and toys to car seats, highchairs, strollers, and shopping carts....preventing dropped items from getting dirty, broken, or lost. <br />
<br />
Without snaps, Velcro, buckles, or clasps, it keeps sippy cups (and other take-along items) within the child's reach while the design makes it virtually impossible to be removed by little hands. Handcrafted out of 100% cotton designer fabrics, The Little Lasso is as functional as it is attractive. And, it's machine washable. <br />
<br />
The Little Lasso is a product of Baby Goga LLC. Patent Pending.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Hurley's Experience:</span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUXvS4RIan1Rp7zAtE9Hqcjo8q4inlrObUsCA5HEsk41Ix9jwViESHki16sg5aLaTZeAAsVqKPVoj6ZSkHrO6McQz9DJo2utz_ABIipgOd4KPJe9ZF2ITcVAddaL1htGOctzbzNpFUjl43/s1600/cabana_stripe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUXvS4RIan1Rp7zAtE9Hqcjo8q4inlrObUsCA5HEsk41Ix9jwViESHki16sg5aLaTZeAAsVqKPVoj6ZSkHrO6McQz9DJo2utz_ABIipgOd4KPJe9ZF2ITcVAddaL1htGOctzbzNpFUjl43/s320/cabana_stripe.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">The first time I had the chance to use The Little Lasso was at a restaurant after a day full of running around. I don't know about everyone else's toddlers, but mine was getting pretty frustrated. She was in a mood that was full of whining and throwing everything I tried to give her to calm her down. </div><div align="center">I filled her sippy cup and looped it throught the bottom of the little lasso and hooked the lasso to her high chair. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">It was actually really funny when she realized that if she threw her cup away from her... it bounced right back! The Little Lasso has elastic along the length of the cord which allows for it to keep baby's toys or cups from hitting the floor. Not only does that save me from breaking my back by continuously picking up whatever toys she decides to toss but it also keeps her things clean. If anyone ever thought of all the germs that are any given floor... yuk.</div><div align="center">The Little Lasso also offers many different prints to choose from to make your own little lasso. And they are all handmade in Texas. We received the Cabana Stripe Lasso like the one pictured above. I wish I could have gotten a really good picture of it action.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before starting this event, I was pretty committed to trying to get every type of wool diapering option to compare. The only one I didn't own was a pair of longies. Sloomb was nice enough to sponsor a pair and another for giveaway!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was really excited to try these out on my daughter. As I have mentioned in previous posts, we live in Alaska. It's important to find articles of clothing that are warm and comfortable. With wool being temperature regulating, she can wear these longies year round! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfuD2CCpD-M-a93OHJ2toL7X-O4HHvUwpqWdYGq2ACSlyi4nIxIkYJs_9BpS14OrAyguJ5y1EVc1iDsw5h5BWod21vgi_NIsGlZoXCLAnhyv8s0uqNsNQZPeNWTQVMoHLyYybRWEuSRCUY/s1600/LONGIES_BERRY_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfuD2CCpD-M-a93OHJ2toL7X-O4HHvUwpqWdYGq2ACSlyi4nIxIkYJs_9BpS14OrAyguJ5y1EVc1iDsw5h5BWod21vgi_NIsGlZoXCLAnhyv8s0uqNsNQZPeNWTQVMoHLyYybRWEuSRCUY/s320/LONGIES_BERRY_large.jpg" width="258" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sloomb ships the longies non-lanolized due to allergies your babe may have so you have to prep the longies before use. This is common with most wool products you buy online that are new [not made with up-cycled materials]. I used Eucalan No Rinse Wool Wash which can also be purchased from Sloomb's website.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6JwEFrdmCr5MYmZz3GW7ZUv7N9T2ZNHvNaf3jughdEWNP52xILpXvlrstMAuNwqXy3nu7Nt1Le2H1p_2MDbMqTS08cXLe5qu7GUjrUDtpAEDKZBbwVy0SBXtMXPMb6hE8Yd-mxh5ofW6/s1600/eucalan_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6JwEFrdmCr5MYmZz3GW7ZUv7N9T2ZNHvNaf3jughdEWNP52xILpXvlrstMAuNwqXy3nu7Nt1Le2H1p_2MDbMqTS08cXLe5qu7GUjrUDtpAEDKZBbwVy0SBXtMXPMb6hE8Yd-mxh5ofW6/s400/eucalan_large.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was easy to use and evenly lanolized my wool covers. Once the longies were lanolized, and had dried completely, they were ready for use. Just a warning though, wool takes a lot longer to dry than your average cloth diaper. Part of the washing process is to roll up the cover in a towel and squeeze excess water from it before laying flat to dry. It can be difficult to get most of water out of the cover because you can only squeeze the water out, never wring out the covers, it can warp them. After about a day or two the longies were ready to wear. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsCcrYZq5R4A65HgWWIHWUDk-sUIB96jrngqDM4JVIZf3TICHifIuEJ_FgnEqdt_tVE36Ei-3UhyphenhyphenJ60Turni_5pIjWF47ikXGXDFZsk1Qmx20fmd3sUlQtVYIL7Un3NfAbNYyWbyeV3-pZ/s1600/100_2869.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsCcrYZq5R4A65HgWWIHWUDk-sUIB96jrngqDM4JVIZf3TICHifIuEJ_FgnEqdt_tVE36Ei-3UhyphenhyphenJ60Turni_5pIjWF47ikXGXDFZsk1Qmx20fmd3sUlQtVYIL7Un3NfAbNYyWbyeV3-pZ/s320/100_2869.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can't stress enough, the importance of measuring your child before ordering. I measured "Turtle" before ordering knowing that its more important that the waist was going to fit and not so much the length. So I ordered her the Medium long. They fit her perfectly, and the length is fine when she's wearing shoes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While wearing her new longies she was also wearing a fitted diaper I had made her. You can check out our fitteds on our website: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/modifiedmommacreations">Modified Momma Creations</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Turtle wore the diaper at different times of day, including overnight, with the same result. No leaks! These longies are near bulletproof!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After use I let them air dry before re-using. This allows the wool to 'clean itself'. Wool is naturally antibacterial and only needs to be washed once every few weeks depending on how often you use them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I washed these longies twice in the time I've had them and they still look brand new. Because of the gentle way you have to wash them, it keep them looking new longer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAZ_uNOn2g83tYLDTCfDHNhGe1E4SQ5NqBvvg9QsCpQJD_nmNBaiRMAOObIEhyphenhyphend-bFgEnRPsPKHNOLfMJ_CJ6bFtKo-gHOeBDd3qPDLaYrbTZ5xW613v-Ub0MuTHin8maSfCbUE9K69ou/s1600/Hurleysig.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAZ_uNOn2g83tYLDTCfDHNhGe1E4SQ5NqBvvg9QsCpQJD_nmNBaiRMAOObIEhyphenhyphend-bFgEnRPsPKHNOLfMJ_CJ6bFtKo-gHOeBDd3qPDLaYrbTZ5xW613v-Ub0MuTHin8maSfCbUE9K69ou/s1600/Hurleysig.png" /></a></div><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">We recently took a vacation to Florida with all four kiddos, if there is one thing three boys know how to do on vacation its be rowdy! I took my Ouch~ee spray along with me in my purse along with some bandaids for just in case. Boy was I glad I brought it! Before we even made it to florida we had two! owee's that needed tending to, I told the boys it was "MAGIC BOOBOO MEDICINE" that would make their little scrapes stop hurting right away! The mellow dramatic kiddos instantly stopped whining as soon as I spritzed them haha, works for them and works for me! They didn't care for the smell of the spray but still insisted that I spray it on every little bump they got. They still think it's "MAGIC BOOBOO MEDICINE", haha. Another use we found for Ouch~ee was putting it on my Stepsons fingernails to keep him from biting them, he was a horrible nail biter to the point of making them bleed!!! After only three days of applying Ouch~ee his fingers made a drastic improvement!!! He also wouldn't bite them because "it tastes gross." I need to send a bottle of Ouch~ee home with his mother so she can apply it there too! It works wonders and isn't harmful!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br />

She will also be offering one Zippered Wetbag as a giveaway item at the end of this review!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As a cloth diapering mother a good Wetbag is a "Must Have" if you plan on keeping the diaper smell to a minimum in the house or out on the go. I love the size of this Wetbag. It holds about 3 soiled cloth diapers. I keep it hooked onto my diaper bag when I go out with the baby. I have been using my Diaper Bag Wrangler Zippered Wetbag for well over a month now and it is holding up very nicely. The wetness stays inside the fluid resistant layer, and I have never had any issues with smells escaping either. I love that she offers gorgeous prints to please everyone, nothing too "Kiddie" or boring. I wash my Wetbag in the machine and have also dried it int he dryer a few times too, I typically hang dry it though. I could not ask for a better wetbag! It does just what it is supposed to do, and with style! I recently took my Diaper Bag Wrangler Zippered Wetbag with me on our family vacation, I used it for Diapers, wipes, empty sprout baby food packages with a yucky spoon, dirty bibs, etc. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifiguE4T-ljU9RSXNn5Azze0BDQfCVQhbK2k6UfxwYwSnhfzsm1X1R3BsJxXeY4rfmPqkXrFdHSms27j572lh1dKyubWPUratr35ShYjmtke8tcxMIMY90YCbhu6HadkDA-AlBxBqacwA/s1600/100_0367.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifiguE4T-ljU9RSXNn5Azze0BDQfCVQhbK2k6UfxwYwSnhfzsm1X1R3BsJxXeY4rfmPqkXrFdHSms27j572lh1dKyubWPUratr35ShYjmtke8tcxMIMY90YCbhu6HadkDA-AlBxBqacwA/s400/100_0367.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLTci20O1uLQM9pwoW9dFubCyp3TQOtsNTB-UKIptt3yfml8lappay-Wnh4YxdGM-3mUdnxp88LoZLCcDp1ywOJjnUoPruTta4vjBdmpd-Rtmod66noGM3UGXmuTWFfInDaoHhCWdYAg/s1600/100_0365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHLTci20O1uLQM9pwoW9dFubCyp3TQOtsNTB-UKIptt3yfml8lappay-Wnh4YxdGM-3mUdnxp88LoZLCcDp1ywOJjnUoPruTta4vjBdmpd-Rtmod66noGM3UGXmuTWFfInDaoHhCWdYAg/s200/100_0365.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia5CVuUyYEhEbXw7qxeKCb2mmcu8y5JWnkMmLeSjzeYEvSxPX8zHwrY2rk5beSlxyqYFoQA_RR4NsWGzBjhUPrTzKsGOsbJhYtW2srLJkHBkjOOB91lRALvCi6Ipv5-97lJxFjNg-VqE4/s1600/100_0368.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia5CVuUyYEhEbXw7qxeKCb2mmcu8y5JWnkMmLeSjzeYEvSxPX8zHwrY2rk5beSlxyqYFoQA_RR4NsWGzBjhUPrTzKsGOsbJhYtW2srLJkHBkjOOB91lRALvCi6Ipv5-97lJxFjNg-VqE4/s200/100_0368.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">SmartWool was born with comfort in mind. (The) founders were New England ski instructors struggling to keep their feet warm. After trying a variety of materials, they rediscovered an age-old classic: wool. But while these socks may have been warm, they were itchy and shrank. So they worked on a process to make them soft and easy care. SmartWool was born on a simple belief: keeping feet comfortable on the slopes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But it was a difficult sell. Try as they might, they couldn’t initially convince others of the material’s merits. No one believed that a wool sock could be anything but itchy. Out of frustration, they finally challenged people to try them. And this simple tactic changed the course of SmartWool forever and pioneered a new market transformation for wool performance products. The instant people tried them they were awestruck with SmartWool’s soft luxurious feel. They were even more surprised that their feet stayed comfortable for extended periods of time in mixed weather conditions. Instead of getting clammy, the SmartWool socks stayed dry, soft and comfortable. The founders then realized that they had to get their socks on as many people as possible to let them speak for themselves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hurley's Experience:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Believe me when I say, they did speak for themselves! Living in Alaska, I have to endure some pretty grueling temperatures during our winters. I couldn't have been more relieved to have the opportunity to review a product that would help me in such a way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I first tried out the Smartwool products, it was a really cold day here. I'm talking, -30 something degrees cold! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center">The scarf and mittens were so light weight and yet extremely warm. Even when faced with such cold temperatures, my hands and neck stayed as warms as if I were wearing multiple layers of other mittens/scarves made of primarily cotton. Even when I was warm inside my heated Jeep, the wool wasn't suffocating me. I figured if it kept me so warm in the freezing arctic temperatures, it would make me cook inside a warm vehicle! That was not the case! As mentioned on Day 1's post, wool is temperature regulating. It keeps you warm in the cold and cool once you've made it inside to a warm place. </div><div align="center">That feature makes Smartwool ideal for not only avid winter sports players, but also Joe Schmo on his way to work in the morning waiting for the bus in freezing temperatures! </div><div align="center">And Mamas... sometimes we can go a little overboard on layers for our kids. Understandably we need to be certain that they are warm enough! So rather than bundling them up like Randy from the movie A Christmas Story:</div><div align="center"><br />

I am not even bluffing, I use these socks constantly. They are the first pairs I grab before I have to go outside!</div><div align="center">After having them for several months and using them as much as I have, I've had to wash them many, many times.</div><div align="center">What I do is wash them with my regular clothes on Cold and then let them hang dry so they don't warp. Admittedly, my husband has been guilty of throwing them in the dryer several times... and even then they are just fine. They still look great, excellent used condition. </div><div align="center">Smartwool has TONS of socks to choose from on their site, with really awesome prints. You can even find the perfect socks for your weather situation. They make them with varying degrees of weight to help keep you warm, and cushion to help keep you comfortable. They also make them in lengths that range from the hidden sock [great for the jogging shoes!] to tights [great for extra under clothes layers].<br />

</div><div align="center">I need to apologize for my inactivity these past few days. I have promised to keep up with my responsibilities and haven't come through with that promise. You fans deserve to have the content be posted as it is publicly scheduled to be posted. Nikki and have always strived to do everything relating to the blog and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/modifiedmommacreations">shop</a> in a timely manner. However, my 13 month old daughter has been sick this past week, so sick that we've had to go to the hospital and she's taking a ton of medications. </div><div align="center">My daughter has never been sick before. Besides the occasional irritability that comes with teething, she has been the picture of health. Now that she has come down with something she's clingy and whiny, and just wants to be held all the time. The only time I have a chance to post is when she's asleep [and not sleeping on me]. Even when I do get a chance to get on the computer I've been really distracted. I'm sure the fellow mommy readers on here can understand. </div><div align="center">I can't apologize enough, really, I hope that you all can forgive my inactivity for a couple more days. I'm sure she'll be better by then. The antibiotics seem to be having a little bit of an effect but we go back to the hospital tomorrow to have more tests done. Hopefully I'll know more by then.</div><div align="center">The Wool Event post that should have gone up on Tuesday will be posted in the next couple days, just as soon as I have time to sit down and perfect the post. Normally the posts are ready days in advance with a schedule to be posted to the blog so we can stay on top of everything before it gets down to the wire. I should have written these posts and finished them before the Wool Event even began. I am so sorry. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Please keep a look out on the blog, I will be posting winners from Day 1 and Day 2 of the wool event. That promise I know I can keep. </div><div align="center"><br />

I was noticing that she slept much better when swaddled, but she would constantly wiggle out of her blankets, even the swaddle kind. I began researching products online and came across Woombie! I thought to myself, "How perfect!" The Woombie has all the features I needed. It stays ON, wont cover her face, and keeps her feeling safe, snug, and ASLEEP! I love that the Woombie has two way zippers for easy changes at night, she doesn't even wake up anymore! The Woombie also keeps L from scratching herself on the face when she is wearing it. L is quite wiggly and rolls around while wearing The Organic Woombie. It stretches nicely and allows her to wiggle around and move while still providing comfort and a light cover. It will sometimes become crooked on her body, but it doesn't effect the use or comfort at all for her. She doesn't seem to mind her hands being inside when she is sleepy, in fact I think it helps her to calm down and fall asleep faster since she isn't pulling at her hair or face or whatever else is near her. I like that The Organic Woombie is well made of natural fibers, washes nicely, dries quickly and is super soft. It is my "go-to" baby item when she is fussy because she is sleepy or overstimulated, it usually does the trick.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqFL47oks8gpx8hV4CetytUdTyrLIqNBhGDoTOFU7t7W5I0oiOri5NCfdaC530IDL_WfLKxslCLKJM1Jrf1rNinbcl1p4Ji0-P4VfTgafJwh1ufBRH0WKEALfEw_OeFXbS-7IuYzGV6lA/s1600/100_0531.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqFL47oks8gpx8hV4CetytUdTyrLIqNBhGDoTOFU7t7W5I0oiOri5NCfdaC530IDL_WfLKxslCLKJM1Jrf1rNinbcl1p4Ji0-P4VfTgafJwh1ufBRH0WKEALfEw_OeFXbS-7IuYzGV6lA/s400/100_0531.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlzDAsTfO4HNErxlBvjQdFOEaKu830VF2w-wV-TNOyeIPbZsdK9F66tbmYvaPlDMOw4BOYayo_OzFd64MAN3sXG_Xw2FYaWWNevsvu5kHKG3kuj3NBz5qKUPxk-BDIcKt7CHEzqAeN2wY/s1600/100_0560.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlzDAsTfO4HNErxlBvjQdFOEaKu830VF2w-wV-TNOyeIPbZsdK9F66tbmYvaPlDMOw4BOYayo_OzFd64MAN3sXG_Xw2FYaWWNevsvu5kHKG3kuj3NBz5qKUPxk-BDIcKt7CHEzqAeN2wY/s400/100_0560.JPG" width="225" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLalR7zsd9PkBFM1SsnNGeYfMfG9mZqABxqaedCci467holMGPmu1O8-MDnIlp5Ou26Twq9e-qy0hDoz7nArrOqP4ulXN5h6_KZals3GFl69qdhdcICJ01KG3sy4B47J-17e-cwXzk6c/s1600/100_0532.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLalR7zsd9PkBFM1SsnNGeYfMfG9mZqABxqaedCci467holMGPmu1O8-MDnIlp5Ou26Twq9e-qy0hDoz7nArrOqP4ulXN5h6_KZals3GFl69qdhdcICJ01KG3sy4B47J-17e-cwXzk6c/s400/100_0532.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />

It will be devoted to a monthly giveaway for parents who would like to try cloth diapering or for parents who just can't afford the start-up. </div><div align="center">Nikki and I both know how hard it is to start cloth diapering, financially speaking. When I first started cloth diapering, I spent 300+ dollars on just diapers. Granted, my family has saved money in the long run, we weren't necessarily able to afford it all at that point in time.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Now, because Nikki and I both love cloth diapering so much, we would like to give back. Please understand that we can't help everyone who asks. I (Hurley) will be buying these gifts out of my own pocket (unless we can get sponsors later). I ask that if you already have a significant stash of fluff, please don't enter these contests. We are primarily hoping to help out those IN NEED. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Here's how it works:</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: medium;">You must be a follower of this blog via Google Friend Connect.</span></div><div align="center">You must also be a fan of Modified Momma Reviews' <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Modified-Momma-Reviews/174458205905821"><span style="color: #cde1a6;">Facebook</span></a>.</div><div align="center">Each month we will have the contest info on this page with a link to the post found on the main page.</div><div align="center">Enter the contest by filling out the form at the bottom of this post.</div><div align="center">Once the time limit has been reached Nikki or I will close the contest.</div><div align="center">I will email the winner and they will have 24 hrs to respond before we choose an alternate winner.</div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">White Elephants is run by a wonderful WAHM named Lynn. I first came across her shop on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/White.Elephants.Creations">Facebook</a>, and I was instantly in love with the fact that she upcycles old sweaters to make her wool soakers. Talk about eco-friendly! She has a whole album on her Facebook with different colors and prints of wool to choose from. </div><div align="center">The first wool soaker I received was better than I had even pictured in my mind. To be honest, I pictured what an upcycled wool cover would like if I made it. Something like this:</div><div align="center"><br />

I liked how it didn't change the pattern of the soaker. Also, I like the dark purple trim! I think it gives it almost a Pull-up feel. That should prove helpful with potty training right around the corner! </div><div align="center">The wool soaker from White Elephants was ready to wear right out of the packaging, she even wore it overnight with no leaks! Personally, fitteds with wool covers are my favorite diapering option and for my heavy wetter. They are perfect for anytime! I currently have several wool covers including ones I have made and two from White Elephants. Check out this one that we just received in the mail yesterday!! With a clover on the bum just in time for St. Patty's day!</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center">As you probably read in Day 1's post, wool covers are just that, covers. When measuring your baby to order a wool cover, you should measure them with a fitted diaper on. That way you can be sure that the cover will fit over it. </div><div align="center">Don't have any fitteds? You have several options. You can buy fitteds from any great WAHM shop {check out mine and Nikki's shop <a href="http://www.facebook.com/modifiedmommacreations">Modified Momma Creations</a>}. Or you can put something together yourself, many cloth diaper moms have prefolds with a snappi or pins. </div><div align="center">Another alternative I use when I've run out of fitteds for my daughter is gDiapers. If you remove the snap in plastic liner and replace it with an insert [or two for extra absorbancy!], you have just made a fitted diaper!</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yay, it's finally here! Nikki and I have been planning this for a couple months now and I love it when our plans come together to create something awesome. This is actually the first time we have had an event like this. For our first day we have scheduled a guest writer to come on to the blog and write an introduction to the use of wool. If you aren't familiar with using wool while diapering your babes, this is sure to shed some light on the confusing aspects.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope that this event proves to be informative and fun for all who participate!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAZ_uNOn2g83tYLDTCfDHNhGe1E4SQ5NqBvvg9QsCpQJD_nmNBaiRMAOObIEhyphenhyphend-bFgEnRPsPKHNOLfMJ_CJ6bFtKo-gHOeBDd3qPDLaYrbTZ5xW613v-Ub0MuTHin8maSfCbUE9K69ou/s1600/Hurleysig.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAZ_uNOn2g83tYLDTCfDHNhGe1E4SQ5NqBvvg9QsCpQJD_nmNBaiRMAOObIEhyphenhyphend-bFgEnRPsPKHNOLfMJ_CJ6bFtKo-gHOeBDd3qPDLaYrbTZ5xW613v-Ub0MuTHin8maSfCbUE9K69ou/s1600/Hurleysig.png" /></a></div><br />

<div align="center">And now our guest writer: Steph from the HyenaCart <a href="http://hyenacart.com/onestore.php?vid=3036&category=34">shop</a>, Bumby. You can also visit her Facebook for Bumby <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bumbybaby?sk=wall">here</a>.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;">Why Wool</span></div><div align="center">Wool cloth diaper covers? But isn’t wool scratchy and uncomfortable? All those hats my grandma used to make me wear always made me so itchy. I am allergic to wool and so are my kids. Sound familiar?<br />
Well that are lots of different types of wool out there, and there is a huge difference.</div><div align="center">Most wool diaper covers are made with the softest of wool breeds, which is Merino. Most people think they are allergic to wool, when in fact they are just allergic to the chemicals that are used to process<br />
the wool, or the wool was too course. Wool diaper covers are usually super soft, and are not processed with harsh chemicals.</div><div align="center">Some of the reasons people use wool for diaper covers are:</div><div align="center"><br />
~Wool is antibacterial, it neutralizes the urine and self-cleans by air drying<br />
~The right kind of wool is extremely soft and squishy, wonderful against delicate baby’s skin<br />
~Wool is breathable and temperature regulating, with reduces diaper and heat rashes.<br />
~Wool repels liquids, and then will start absorbing. A diaper has to be very saturated before<br />
leaks occur. A great night time solution<br />
~Wool is naturally occurring and renewable.</div><div align="center">•</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><u>Different types if wool diaper covers</u></div><div align="center">There are a few different types of diaper covers out there.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">~Hand knitted or crocheted covers are made from wool yarn. Sometimes they are made to fit,<br />
and sometimes they are made larger then felted down to a smaller size to give some additional<br />
protection by having a tighter knit.<br />
~Interlock covers are made with wool fabric that is sewn together.<br />
~Longies are wool pants that are used as a cover<br />
~Shorties are simply wool shorts<br />
~Soakers are almost like underwear used as a cover<br />
~Skirties are soakers with a skirt attached. The skirt is usually wool as well<br />
~Recycled woolies are made from old sweaters that have been felted and sewn together</div><div align="center">There are a few other items out there too but those are the main ones</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><u>How to care for wool</u></div><div align="center">Most textiles made with wool need to be handled with care. Heat and agitation cause wool fibers to felt. Felting is when the wool fibres mesh together and lock into place. The process of felting is what makes wool such a wonderful diaper cover though. Felted wool allows for a waterproof barrier that is hard to beat.</div><div align="center">Generally if the wool is hand knitted or crocheted it needs to be gently hand washed and laid flat to dry. If it is interlock with lycra in it, it can usually be machine washed on gentle and even machine dried. Lanolizing is when lanolin is applied to the wool. This can be done by using a lanolin wool wash, or by applying lanolin such as nipple cream. There are a lot of tutorials out there about how to lanolize your wool diaper covers, do find one that makes sense to you.</div><div align="center">There are a lot of WAHM’s that make diaper covers. Find one that has good revues that you like their customer service and pictures. Get one or two and see how it goes. Ask lots of questions to make sure you are getting what you need. Most of us will send out samples of the wool so you can feel it if you want as well. And most importantly, have fun shopping.</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">“More than ever, fitness enthusiasts are looking for non-traditional and fun ways to exercise,” says <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Heather Wolf, Certified Fitness Trainer and Creator of JuggleFit</span></b>. “Referred to as fusion fitness, performance-based fitness or hybrid fitness, it’s all about getting fit and having fun. Although doing any type of exercise is better than none, running on treadmills and riding on <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300146860_4" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">stationary bikes</span> at gyms can get boring and expensive.

According to Heather, “Although it may not look like exercise, juggling is a highly aerobic (burns up to 280 calories an hour), no-impact workout that engages the body’s core, utilizing muscles to tone the arms without adding stress on the joints.” </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><b>My Personal Experience:</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I absolutely love my Hip Hooters. They are very discreet and don't leave the "circle" through my bra and shirt like other brands I have tried. They stay in place and don't shift around in any of the different styles of bras I wear. They come in very stylish prints and are made of high quality materials. The scalloped edging is adorable as well, very fancy, :). I love that they are still in great shape after many washes and wears. I just wash them with my daughters clothing or cloth diaper laundry, and they come out just fine. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="positioner"></div><div class="positioner"> </div><div class="positioner">As a mother of 4 I know first hand how important it is to keep your baby close by, safe, comfortable, and happy. In my opinion a sling or wrap is a staple in any attachment parenting lifestyle. Slings offer the parent the ability to cuddle close and still keep their hands free to do all of those daily tasks that need both hands. I love using my sling in the grocery store, out for walks, on the beach, at the park, around the house, pretty much everywhere!!! I love that I can nurse discreetly out in public since it seems that any time I'm out for a meal "L" wants to nurse right then and there! My sling has saved me hours of sleep when I think about all of the things I was able to do during the day instead of having to stay up later at night after the baby was asleep to accomplish them. The HAVA Organic sling is super soft, easy to wash and easy to wear, It even comes with a super neat-o instructional DVD for people like me who refuse to read instructions, haha. The sling is so easy to adjust, the thinner padded rails are awesome, comfortable but not bulky at all. The shoulder pad is so nice and comfy and doesn't shift around. This sling forms nicely around my baby, and makes me feel that she is safe and secure. She likes to chew on the top rail of the sling. I'm totally fine with that because it is made out of 100% organic cotton, except the rings which are aluminum.It comes in sizes x-petite-x-long they have an easy to use size chart. My sling is a Regular, and has plenty of room to adjust, I could have stood a size smaller because of my height but I ordered by weight. It fits nicely.<br />
