MamaLuxe Edition

Two MORE great products from our beloved Bumkins!

This is not your mother’s way of cloth diapering!

As a newbie to the cloth diapering world, I was in awe at all the different types, styles, and accessories that go along with the cloth diapering start up. Luckily, Bumkins All-In-One diapers came my way and saved me from “testing” all the others to find the perfect match for little Aidan.

One word to explain Bumkins All-In-One diapers: simple. The easiest cloth diaper on the market by far! Super absorbent, 100% cotton, with a waterproof exterior in some of the most amazing designs…fashionable style with diapers, how precious! No more plain white diapers here! {Needless to say my mother and mother-in-law will be amazed by these!}

If All-In-Ones are not for you, Bumkins has plenty of other choices for your cloth diapering needs so go check them out!

If that’s not enough incentive to check them out, maybe this will be!

Bumkins has recently introduced the new Grande Diaper Bag; today’s parents answer to the need of function and fashion. With contemporary prints, reinforced straps & water resistant fabric, this is one bag that will keep on giving, long after your diapering days are over.

And lucky for you, Bumkins is generously giving away one of their Grande Diaper Bags, chock FULL of baby essentials from their new organic Natural Collection! A $120 value, here’s what comes in the bag { winner’s choice of boy or girl } :

  • Organic Washcloth 3 pack (9″x9″)
  • Organic Hooded Towel Set (30″x36″)
  • Organic Chin Bib 2 pack (7.5″x7.5″)
  • Organic Swaddle Blanket (30″x30″)
  • Organic Bib and Burp Cloth Set (11″x15″)
  • Waterproof SuperBib 3 pack

To win, as usual, simply leave a comment on this post, about all of the new “natural” parenting options that Bumkins has provided it’s customers with. This contest will run for two weeks, due to the amount of vacationers & offline regulars we’ll have this week. It will end on Sunday, July 13th.

 

MoBoleez {Giveaway}

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Now a days it is necessary to be discreet while breast feeding in public or even at home. {Since visitors could be stopping by at anytime OR if you have very nosy little ones like I do}. It is so fun to see the designs and products that are invented to help mom and baby “conceal” yet still enjoy the nursing experience no matter where you are. From slings to cover-ups, shawls to blankets, and most adorable yet, Hats!

Founder of MoBoleez, Diane Sam, is a mother with a passion for breast feeding. Her playful, fun nursing hats are designed to celebrate the act of breast feeding, with a hint of privacy! Anyone passing by will get a kick out of the illustrations on the top of these bonnets such as”Mmmmm or Milky Way or Cafe Au Lait” and mommy gets her own little message with every peek at baby with special sayings under the brim, “Hi mummy”. Too darn cute!

MoBoleez is one of those unique products you can’t help but want to try out or see in person! I know I say this often, but again, what a fabulous shower gift this would make! Any new nursing mother would get such a thrill out of this product.

Solana Babywear

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Soothing an infant can be one of the hardest things for new parents to adjust too. Are they hungry, dirty diaper, are they hot, cold, sick, gas, etc… A mother’s touch is definitely #1 in the soothing category, #2 for mine and Sarah’s babies, and most all infants is swaddling!

Now don’t get me wrong, those “free” swaddle blankets the hospital gives you are great, but they are thick and hot, no where near soft, and they are far from pretty! Solana Swaddle Wraps are the perfect swaddling blankets! 100% lightweight cotton, large enough to grow with your baby, thin enough to be breathable, with a nice “stretch” to keep baby nice and snug. And for mom, some cute luxe designs.

Choose from boy, girl, or gender neutral designs, or some fabulous organic designs. We were lucky to receive the “Pure Hugs” Stretch Organic Wrap, which we absolutely love! For 3 weeks now we have washed our Solana Swaddle Wrap every single night {we have a spit-up machine for a baby}. It still looks brand new, didn’t shrink or pill up. Best of all, it soothes Aidan and he SLEEPS comfortably…{if only for a few hours here and there}.

“Physicians Recommend Lightweight Wraps to Help Prevent Overheating and SIDS”. The Solana Swaddle Wraps are the only baby blankets on the market that conform to these physicians recommendations. Theresa and Sunny, the visions behind Solana Swaddle Wraps, did their research when designing their product. And as moms, they knew best at what calms and soothes babies. Their outcome:  such a wonderful, safe product you will feel completely comfortable using on your littlest treasure!

Mabel’s Labels

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Kidluxe Edition

Kids lose everything! It’s a known fact! I’ve seen the lost and found at the pool and at school, {there’s some nice stuff in there}, and about 80% of it is not marked or labeled. All the money we spend every year on clothes, bags, sports equipment, etc…I’ve decided {with the help from this feature} to label EVERYTHING my kids own!

First thing to label, all our bags. Backpacks, baseball balls, pool bags, overnight bags, diaper bags, how could one family have so many bags? With Mabel’s Labels Bag Tags my son will never again bring home the wrong baseball bag {3 boys on the team have he same bag of course}. So if your child’s backpack ends up in the lost and found, and if it’s the same SpiderMan or pink paisley bag as many other children have, his/hers will be “tagged” and not lost forever! Mabel’s Labels Bag Tags are extremely durable and will transfer from bag to bag; since you know you’ll be buying a new school bag every year, styles and tastes change Mom! These are great for adults too; tag your luggage or briefcase. I seriously want one for every bag in our house!

Secondly, clothing and accessories! Now, I will not be labeling every piece of clothing my kids own, but for those important and expensive items: coats, swim shorts {and towels}, uniforms, hats, etc… Mabel’s Labels offers Iron-ons, Tag-mates, and Shoe Labels for all your clothing labeling needs! All these labels resist the wear and tear associated with washing, drying, and wearing.

Third, and so on…seriously, Mabel’s Labels has possibly every thing you need to organize your children, your home, and yourself. Cord Control, Canister Labels, Curbside {never mix up your trash can and recycle bins with your neighbors again}, Bin Labels, Allergy Alerts, etc… I could go on and on, you’ll need to check out their site for yourself! Mabel’s Labels has so much to offer. It’s so hot outside, stay in and label away!
