A Cloth Diaper For Christmas From Thirsties Modern Cloth Diapers #HolidayGiftGuide

When I was pregnant and first made the decision to cloth diaper our youngest a couple years ago, we were gifted six diapers for Christmas. I was thrilled!!! Using cloth diapers over the last year and half has helped our tight budget. Plus given the fact they are eco-friendly and just so cute doesn't hurt my opinion of them either. This year for the first time on my Holiday Gift Guide, I have teamed up with one of my favorite cloth diaper brands to showcase an all in one cloth diaper, and give you the chance to win both a diaper and a wet bag! Cloth diapers for Christmas.... the perfect gift! 

Clothing, Jewelry and More Featuring Multicultural Art ~ Create In Me #HolidayGiftGuide

When our son was born last year, I looked everywhere for cute big brother and big sister shirts for our older kids. I just couldn't find anything that worked for us. Not giving up on the idea, I have continued to search for a company that offers these products that would work not just us but for all families too. My search is over, and it was worth the wait. I found a wonderful artist who caters all families with multicultural artwork for clothing, jewelry and items for the home too.

Then Vs Now Safety ~ Infant Safe Sleep Awareness Month

All of us parents take the safety of our children very seriously. A few months ago, I had a conversation with my Mom about safe sleeping for babies. She told me that when I was born the doctors TOLD her to lay me on my stomach to sleep at the hospital, so that is what she did back then. We all know now that "Back Is Best" when putting a little one to sleep, but back then they weren't aware of this. 

Is There An affordable All-In-One Cloth Diaper? ~ Nicki's Diapers Bamboo All-In-One #ClothDiaper Review

My husband was on the fence when I first brought up the idea of cloth diapering our third baby while pregnant. I won him over with the money we would save, and then started researching what would work for us. While I had a variety of cloth diaper styles to begin with the one type my husband really preferred to use were all-in-ones. Those can be pricey, and I hadn't added many to our stash. I am so excited to share with you an All-In-One cloth diaper that is not only affordable, but available in so many adorable prints too!

No More Dunking and Swishing ~ Diaper Sprayer Review

Dunking and Swishing, Swishing and Dunking! If you are a cloth diapering Mom or Dad, you know exactly what I am talking about. You have probably done this a few, or a thousand, times. It works, and does the job of cleaning the icky messes off our adorable fluff. Still rinsing cloth diapers in the toilet water is not how I like to spend even a few minutes of my day. So guess what? We finally have a diaper sprayer! Officially made the switch from dunking and swishing our cloth diapers to spraying, and I couldn't be happier.

Hemp For the Thin Win Over Compression Leaks ~ Buttons Cloth Diapers Review

Now that we have been cloth diapering for over a year with our youngest, we have learned a few things about what works for us and what doesn't. Some things like microfiber inserts worked perfectly when my son was younger, but now that he is getting older and a little mover, we have been dealing with compression leaks in some of our diapers. Natural fibers, like hemp, are what I am turning too to save the leaky day! I call hemp inserts our thin win over compression leaks!

Imagine Baby Product's Cloth Diapering Overnight Solution ~ Review

When we first began cloth diapering, I read a lot on what was the best options for overnights. To be perfectly honest the posts scared me to death, and I thought we will just use disposables at night. Then our little guy arrived, and we lucked out with the fact that he was not a heavy wetter in his early months so cloth diapering overnight was easy. As he has grown that has changed, and I just can't bring myself to triple stuff with inserts. It looks so bulky on my skinny little one. This lead me to a cloth diaper option that I had previously been nervous to try- Bamboo Fitted Cloth Diapers.
