Moms Christmas gift

So early this year a neighbor was throwing out some wood (YAYYYYY) I grabbed it all and made my "Love you to the last star and back" sign See details here. Well my mom texted me a pict of a sign she saw in a antique shop in Sarasota (way far from me). My youngest LOVES the "you are my sunshine song", and my mom sings it to him often, so I knew it would remind her of him, I also knew I HAD to make it for her!

The inspiration picture my mom sent me :)

Started with this

It was even framed! I love trash finds

I primered it white, used stencils and black paint and off I went. The paint leaked a little so I touched it up, painted the edges black, took a piece of sandpaper scrapped and taaa daaaaaa

The finished product hung at my moms :)

<3 ya mom 

Glow Bug Cloth Diapers Review & Giveaway

Since learning I was pregnant, with my first son I was always intrigued by cloth diapers, there are so many positive facts that support the use and im not sure why I never committed!

Why Cloth Diaper???

1. They are Cheap!

How often are you buying diapers?? I know between a 1 1/2 year old, and pull ups for a 3 1/2 year old I spend over $100 a month.

2. They are Green

Disposable diapers take hundreds of years to break down in dumps

3. They are cute!

Glow bug has tons of very stylish options for boys and girls.

4. They are convenient 

How often do you have to make a trip to the store because you are running low or out??? Cloth diapers just need to be washed, and lets be honest, I wash clothes ALOT!

5. They are Trendy

Everyone is doing it! Be hip ;)

6. They are old school

I was cloth diapered and my parents survived

7. They are Leak proof

No clothes changes, no bed changes no leaky mess

8. They are comfy

You choose, paper panties or super soft panties... hum

9. They are not smelly

My diaper pail REAKS!!!! every time I open it I wanna run! If washed every other day or every third day like recommended no stinky pail. (Ps you flush the poo)

10. They are easy!

Snap on, snap off, dump poo, place in pail, wash.. Seems easy to me..

We were sent a diaper by Glow Bug Diapers, the style is "gears"

I decided to first try on my 3 year old who is at the final stage of diaper needs, he does not wear during the day but still has "accidents" during night time, and occasionally at night. They are great because they feel like undies but still have protection in case he has a accident. Let be honest changing sheets at 4am is the pits!

Glow bug diapers are great! They have 5 different buttons on each side so you can go from newborn to potty training. We actually still have room to expand ours more if needed. The website says it fits 7lbs to 35lbs.

The diaper also contains a button snap for the micro fiber insert which is -

1. Very thick

2. Super soft

3. Machine washable

4. Very absorbent

OK so price facts!

Glow Bug diapers sells in bulk packs. It makes sense, you don't buy 1-2 disposable diapers at a time and since you change and use cloth diapers the same why buy 1-2 cloth diapers?

It may seem like a lot of money but the price for a bulk pack is $150, but you NEVER HAVE TO BUY DIAPERS AGAIN! crazy to even think about that! At the top of my post I mentioned I spend $100 a month, no I feel silly for not doing this almost 4 years ago when I found out I was preggio!

Included in your $150 purchase you will receive

My son actually told me "Thank you for this comfy diaper momma, I really like it". How sweet is he!

How would you like to try a Glow bug diaper for yourself???
 We are offering one reader (In US or Canada) a Glow bug cloth diaper in either, girl, boy or gender neutral design.

Please click done on only the tasks you preform, all entrys will be checked to be fair ;)

Thank you Glow bug for opening our eyes!!!

I love even more when the product is practical, useful and necessary. This explains toothbrushsubscriptions.com perfectly. 

Did you know that dentists recommend changing your tooth brush every 3 months? 

I think the last time I changed my toothbrush was over a year ago (yuck), you can tell by the bristles that are pointing the wrong way, and obviously in need of being retired. 

Toothbrushsubscription.com takes the guess work of which toothbrush is the best, and the need to remember its time to change your toothbrush away for you!

They have many different options from "The Newborn" to "The Adult" so you can sign your whole family up.  All their brushes has been approved by the American Dental Association, so you know your getting the best toothbrush possible. 

How it works

You pay $19.95 a year and you will get 1 brush of your choice mailed to your home every 3 months. Tax and shipping is included and you can cancel at any time. This works out to be $1.66 a month or $4.99 a toothbrush.

We recieved a brush for each of the 4 members of our family

The Adult brushed- Soft brushes and great
shape to reach all teeth.

The Baby & The Newborn
both have easy gribs for little hands

Our 3 1/2 yr old using "The Baby", yes cape and all.

All clothing is constructed within 20 mile of Mountain Mamas headquarters in Southern California. They also use sustainable products like recycled paper, vegetable ink and recyclable shipping materials. 

The focus is comfort, the apparel is geared at adapting to our changing bodies, the clothing will stretch and wick and can be worn at home, out on the town, or on your own adventure. I wish I had discovered this company while I still had a little one on board. It is also great post preggio!

LOVE the All The Time Maternity Dress!
$84.00 USD

They also make the cutest little ones clothing. Made with 100% organic cotton. The kids line has a variety of letters and pictures with a outdoor theme. They help get little ones hip to the alphabet.

Most come in either a onesie or tee option. Sizes are 3 months - 6t

We were lucky enough to receive a "C is for CARABINER" organic Tee for our Nu, his name starts with the letter "C" and he was excited to see it. He immediately said "ohhh its to cozy" and he is right! the shirt is super soft!

I love this company and their products. Its always nice to find products that encourage expecting moms to get out and "be normal". Sometimes is can be hard to feel like you are looking good during pregnancy, I can see how having a few of their basic pieces in your wardrobe during pregnancy would be a wonderful solution! 

Their moto "Expecting Adventure" is super cute for the pregnancy stage but also applies to once the little ones arrive. I love the fact that they are dressing moms and offering cute kiddie clothes.

Very well done Mountain Mama!

We are also super excited to announce our first giveaway of 2013!
