Boodle Bottoms Review and Giveaway

Have you been having a hard time finding pants to fit your fluffy butt baby?  I know I have!  Well, here is the solution.  Boodle Bottoms specializes in making pants to fit that fluffy bottom!  I never thought it possible, but these pants fit wonderfully.  I have been having to purchase pants one size higher then what my son wears...the result, they are WAY too long!  These fixed all the problems that we were having.  They are not too long, and they do not show off the diaper! 

I love the little adorable package they come it!  I just had to take a picture of it to show you!
As you can see, I got the pants in blue, but there is also there is also pink, green and natural classic colors to choose from.  They also come from sizes 0-3 months all the way up to 2T!

Giveaway info:
You can win a pair of pants in your choice of color and size!

Snuggli Bebe Review and Giveaway

Roxanne, the owner of Snuggli Bebe, has provided me with another review and giveaway!  This one is for her sippy lasso!  Can I tell you how much I love this thing and wish I have ALWAYS had one?  This is perfect for car trips, when they start throwing their sippy from the highchair, and many many other situations.  You can hook a sippy to it, snack jar, whatever you would like to keep off the floor and near your baby/toddler/child.  We used it on our LONG trip to NY.  It takes us about 16 hours to get up there and with this, it reduced our drive time by an hour because we didn't have to be constantly pulling over to wash off sippies and find them.  I LOVE THIS! 


Giveaway Info:
You can win this sippy laso!

Green Owl Baby Co Review and Giveaway



I received an ADORABLE wet bag from this sponsor.  The picture right above is a comparison in the size using a bumGenius 4.0.

This wet bag is AWESOME.  I love how cute it is for one, but I also like the little snap strap on it.  It gives it a special little touch and it works great for snapping it on a part of my diaper bag strap so that I can get to it fast...you know, like how you are always searching for that wet bag, but not any more!

This wet bag is the perfect size for small trips out.  It can hold one AIO, Pocket diaper, Cover/fitted(or prefold), or whatever else there is to use!  I actually got two fitted diapers in there once along with a cover, so it is pretty much depending on the size of the diapers.

This bag also folds up into a little pouch, which I have never seen a wet bag do before.  I stole these pics and instructions from Green Owl Baby Co on FB.
Step 1: With the strap un-snapped and underneath the bag, fold up the bottom third of your bag 
Step 2: Fold up again
Step 3: Fold over the right third
Step 4: Fold over the left third on top
Step 5: Wrap the strap around the back and snap shut.

I followed these directions and I was easily able to fold up my wet bag.


Would you like to win one?  Well....of course you do!

Sasha Wrap Review and Giveaway

Corrine, the founder of Sasha Wraps, was such a sweetheart to join in on Support Our Troops Week.  While she was working on it, I got to have a good conversation with her.  She is one of the nicest mamas.  She was completely sincere in everything she spoke with me about and she stayed in well contact with me while everything was in the process of getting ready for the week.  A+++ for mama!  Haha.

With the wrap came directions with pictures on how to work the wrap.  And for written direction impaired people, like me, there is a DVD that comes with the wrap that shows you how to use it.  The DVD was VERY helpful for me as the only other wrap I have ever had was a Infintino which is basically just tie her, put through loops and tie there.  The Infintino wrap was not as good as this one for a few reasons though.  (1) Because it was not comfortable for me, (2) I don't think it was comfortable for Lucas, (3) it didn't have as much support as the Sasha Wrap does.  To show you how much more support the Sasha Wrap has, here is a picture of my son throwing a blown out temper tantrum while in the wrap, and still not falling out.


Sure he messed up the wrap a little bit so that I had to fix it so it sat right again, but he was safe in it and I was not scared of him falling the whole time he threw the temper tantrum.

Now to put this in a little better perspective, my son is 16 months old, 34 inches tall, and 30 lbs.  I was afraid that the wrap would not work on him because he is so large, but I love it and use it almost every day.  Here is a picture of Lucas loving being in the wrap.


This wrap is also one of the cutest wraps I have ever seen.  Here is a picture of just the wrap.


The best part about this wrap....Daddy is not afraid to use this one!  Actually, he uses it all the time.  He likes the little pocket in he front where he will put a diaper and wipes so he doesn't have to carry a diaper bag.

Sugardoodlez Review and Giveaway

Here is another review and giveaway for Support Out Troops Week.  This one is for a lovey and a burp cloth with your child's name put onto it.  Here is how it came, I have to show you this because I thought it was adorable!

The lovey is the perfect size and so soft.  I love the orange lettering on the brown fabric.  Lucas loves this lovey and has been sleeping with it sense he got it!

Unfortunately, my son is a bit older so I couldn't use the burp cloth as it is supposed to be used.  But I used it after a spaghetti dinner night and it cleaned all the mess up off of his hands, face, highchair and everything else haha.

Both of these are wonderfully sized and look super cute together.  She does such wonderful work!  This mama also has super fast shipping and wonderful customer service.  She was a wonderful mama to do work with and I hope she does well in everything she does.  I <3 her even more after I found out that our children have the same name!  Hehe.  You can see all the things she made for her son on her etsy shop!

Kallas Kreations Review and Giveaway

This mama supplied a traveling wipe case in camo to review and she will send out one to a winner.

I love this!   I have traveling wipe cases, but they are all just the white or sometimes I just use a wet bag.  Well, I love this solution so much more!  Not only do we get to pull out something ADORABLE when we go to change his diaper, but it also makes it easier to see in the diaper bag then it is to just find something white....now you get to look for something camo.  My son loves to play with this also.  When we first got it in the mail, he took it and had to show everyone he could his new wipe case.  Too cute!

I also love that it is so, how do I say this, squishy?  Soft?   Anyways, it's not super hard on the outside.  So if you drop it, more than likely it will not break!  This mama also includes disposable wipes inside the new wipe case!

Bunn Zoo Review and Giveaway

I received two different diapers, one for a review and one for a giveaway.  They were both different diapers, one was a pocket and one was an AIO.  I had a really hard time choosing which one I was going to do the review for because they were both amazing.  I ended up picking the pocket just because of the fact that it was less girly for my little boy.  But I was so tempted to do the AIO because it was so dang soft!  This was a VERY hard decision mamas (and daddy), let me tell you!  But here is what I found with the pocket diaper.  This is kind of hard to explain, so stick with me and the pictures.  This pocket game with leg gussets, which I LOVE!  It is especially good when you get that really runny yuckie mess...yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Here's a picture of that:

As you can see, very well constructed.  Now, here is another amazing feature of this diaper.  Have you ever had a pocket where the insert comes out?  Well, on this pocket, you will NEVER have that problem, it velcros shut!!!  Amazing!  Here is a picture of that:
Pretty cool eh?  Not only are those two things amazing, but here is a picture of the outside of the diaper, super cute!


Now, I will tell you the honest truth about this.  I was scared to use this diaper because the insert seemed small, but little did I know that this insert was PERFECT!  I used it perfectly during the day.  Added a flip organic insert to it and it worked all night!  Awesome!  And for anyone with my problem of PUL allergies, there is fabric on the outside, so no PUL is touching your child's skin!

The fit is also amazing too!  I am giving this diaper amazing thumbs up.  The prices are amazing too!!!  AIO=$8 and a Pocket=$7.50     I KNOW, RIGHT!

You can win this AIO diaper!!!

Trouser Review and Giveaway

If you haven't heard of this Etsy shop, you might want to!  This mama makes amazing custom minky blankets.  She supplied me with one for a review!  I then got to looking around her shop again and found that she can do pj pants to match the blanket!  I was all over it and bought a pair of pj pants!!!!

My son LOVES this blanket and I LOVE the matching pj pants!  I think it is the cutest thing EVER!!!!

These are all very well made!!!  You can't even tell where it was sewn!!!  The blanket is nice and big to cuddle with during play and to keep them nice and warm during naps and bedtime!  My son has never really taken an interest in blankets, even though I kind of pushed them, but he is attached to this one!  He drags it around with him everywhere, which is fine by me. 


See how large the blanket is?  I couldn't even get the whole thing in the picture!  Haha!  And HOW CUTE!?!?!

You could win a custom made minky blanket also!

Just Pure Minerals Review and Giveaway

Have you ever felt like your face was full of junk?  Do you hate that heavy face feeling, like it might melt off at any moment?  Well, then this make up is for you.  I was kind of skeptical about mineral make up.  I wasn't sure how it would make any kind of difference in the way that my face felt.  But it was wonderful.  My face felt so light and good it was a blessing!  Anyone who is still using CoverGirl or anything like that. is REALLY missing out!  And this stuff is so much better for your skin too!  Not only is it light, better for your skin...but it is also easier to get off!  No more scrubbing your face!!!!  Let me say that again.....no more scrubbing you face!!!!!  So awesome for me because my skin is so sensitive in the first place that I'm not getting the red face anymore from scrubbing (which i have to cover up the next day!).  I highly suggest mineral makeup if you haven't tried it and I even more highly recommend Just Pure Minerals.  Not only does she have top customer service, but she also has great prices and trial packages too!  Awesome!

Wee Expressions Review and Giveaway

This giveaway is for a trial pack (one panty liner, one normal, and one heavy/overnight mama pad).  I received the same thing to test out seeing that they are Lauren's newest creations!  I love these mama pads, and here is why.  I don't really use panty liners, but my mom does.  I had my mom test this one out for me. She loved it!  Was able to use it for her whole day at work while using disposable tampons. 


The normal pad I used.  Honestly, this thing lasts me about 4 hours on a heavy day and 6 hours on a normal day...amazing right???  Amazing absorbency!



The heavy/overnight pad....DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THIS ONE!!!!   I used this one overnight and then was late for work so I was like, I guess I'll really put it to the test.  All together.....15 hours.....YES, I said 15 hours with no leaks on a normal day!  OMG, like are you serious!?!?!  I NEVER thought I would ever get away with it....but I did...I'm very lucky for that!  Haha!



All these mama pads all fold up into the cute little rectangles that we all love so very much.  Perfect for storage or after use and you have to throw them in a wet bag.



All this said...are you ready to get some! Don't forget, that Lauren has a special on her etsy to get this same set for a low price of $14.95!  You can also try to win some right here!

Mikknits Mama Pad Review and Giveaway

I received this mama pad and I really liked the designs.  The first think I noticed was there is a button instead of a snap.  I actually really like this because it keeps it in place a little better, plus it looks super cute. 


I used this pad on a normal day.  It worked great!  I had it on for about 4 hours before I had to change.  I recommend this mama pad for anyone who has normal to heavy flows because it seems like it would work really well for a heavy day also!

Time Out for Mommy Review and Giveaway


I received these lovely soaps for a review from Time Out For Mommy.  I love her soaps.  They are so amazingly made!  They have such detail in them that you would never know that they are made from a mama at her home.  Not only that, they smell DELICIOUS!!!!  I use the smaller ones in my downstairs bathroom (vanilla lavender) and I am always getting complements on how wonderful they smell.  They also work great.  Like my son, I have very sensitive skin and none of these made my skin dried out or raw or anything like that.  A lot of name brand things do...so I have to be VERY picky about what I choose to use.  When these run out, I think I'm going to have to buy more!!!!

You also will have a chance to win a $10 credit for purchases made through Alexis' store (who by the way is one amazing mama with GREAT customer service!)

Planet Wise Wet Bag Review and Giveaway Sponsered by Diaper Envy

I received this wet bag and fell in love.  I love how it is the perfect size for days out.  It fits 1-2 diapers perfectly, depending on the diaper.  It is also so well made!  I wanted to really put this wet bag to the test, so what did I do?  I took an insert, soaked it in water, put it in the wet bag, and left it there over night.  Wanna know what happened?   NOTHING....yes....NOTHING....no leaks or anything.  Can I say love it again??? 

Diaper Envy is a wonderful shop if you haven't checked it out yet.  Not only do they sell diapers, but they also have diaper services and a bunch of wonderful information to read up on, including information on traveling and EVERYTHING!  I love this shop, not all shops take that much time to provide that much information for people.
