My hubby and I decided it was time to start living a more natural lifestyle once I found out I was pregnant with my little girl. We had both heard about the dangers of chemicals in just about every product we used, and started searching for products that would be more conducive to a natural lifestyle. I was shocked when I found out that most of the baby products on the shelves of our local baby store had harmful chemicals that caused health ...

I had a fun video review to share with you all but for some reason I cannot get videos uploaded to YouTube or to my blog from my camera. I'm still working on that! In the meantime, I wanted to tell you the importance of purchasing quality shoes for your new walker. Some people don't realize the importance of a good pair of shoes for an infant and what impact it has on proper foot development. We all get caught up in the cuteness and styles ...

Cloth Diaper Event – SmartiPants (#Giveaway!)
Let's talk about one size diapers! They are either loved or hated. Held on a pedestal or highly criticized. I started cloth diapering with one size diapers, and loved them, but I also started cloth diapering when my little girl was 18 months. This makes a big difference. I have no experience cloth diapering a newborn, and after folding a one size diaper down to its smallest size, the amount of bulk is a good reason to criticize this diaper. Yet, ...
Cloth Diaper Event – Thirsties Duo Diaper (#Giveaway)
I love cloth diapers that give you options. The whole purpose of cloth diapering is to be better for the environment and also to save some money. If you had to purchase diapers for each size your baby grew into, it would defeat the purpose of cloth diapering to begin with! Thirsties had the right idea when they came out with their Duo Diaper. The Thirsties Duo Diaper is a two piece diaper that has a waterproof cover and an absorbent insert, which ...
Cloth Diaper Event – Lovely Pocket Diapers
Quickly after you become introduced to cloth diapers, you realize that many of them were actually designed by moms. Who else knows what they need in a cloth diaper than a mom!? Work at Home Mom or WAHMies have some of the best diapers out there - and they often go un-noticed. Melissa over at Lovely Pocket Diapers started her cloth diapering journey in 2010 and soon realized cloth diapering was a lot more expensive than she had anticipated. She ...
Cloth Diaper Event: Oh Katy Diapers (#Giveaway)
I had heard about Oh Katy Diapers from a fellow cloth diaper mommy who swore by them. After checking out their site and realizing they won Babble's 2011 Best Cloth Diaper award, I knew I had to try them myself. The first thing I noticed about Oh Katy Diapers is that they are very soft - inside and out. They aren't as stiff as other cloth diapers I used, and they had plenty of elastic to stretch well around various sized babies. The next ...
Cloth Diaper Event: AppleCheeks (#Giveaway)
After cloth diapering for about a month, I realized that One Size diapers really weren't meant to be worn from birth to potty training, no matter how trim the diaper was. When snapping a one size diaper to the smallest size, a lot of bulk is created in the material, plus the elastic around baby's little legs isn't enough to contain messes. Newborn diapers may only be worn for a few weeks, so some people opt out of the added expense ...
