Flat Fold Diapers Re-purposed!
A while back I purchased some flat fold diapers. I think it was a 12 pack from Target. The Gerber type. I thought they would be great to use in the Gdiaper liners since they fold and did not appear bulky. I was wrong. They were way to small to fit in the liners so, they sat in my diaper draws waiting for a purpose. I found one! Cloth "paper" towels. These little suckers are perfect for it. They are a large enough size to use to wipe hands after washing. They are also great for spills, large or small, because they are so super absorbent. I even use them to wipe the dishes when I have a small bit that was sitting in the sink. AMAZING! I actually re-purposed/re-cycled them. I don't feel too bad about the purchase now and have thought maybe I should go out and get some more. I think tow more twelve packs would be the perfect amount in this house AND I just through them in the diaper pail to wash with the diapers since I want them to maintain their absorbency! Ahhh, do you think Gerber should be marketing there crappy diapers as something else??? LOL

NOW Pampers is trying to "Imitate" Cloth Diaper Adorableness...
I found this article while searching around the internet today:
Pampers & Cynthia Rowley Partner on the First 'Designed' Diaper
I especially "love" this statement from the "designer":
"As a mom, I wanted other moms and dads to have more options in every part of their lives -- even diapers," said Rowley. "It's the first piece of clothing your baby will ever wear, and it should be special."
Again I REPEAT, "It's the first piece of CLOTHING your baby will ever wear..."
Since when has plastic and disposable CLOTHING become acceptable? I mean really, I don't wear disposable underwear. Do you? I don't toss my clothing in the trash once it is soiled with dirt, food or sweat. Do you? We even wash our baby bibs, right? Baby bibs that are also covered in bodily functions. Vomit, spit up, half masticated food, drool and sometimes "snot"! Why is washing a diaper so different? As the designer stated, "First piece of clothing". Hmmmm, just a little more ammunition for my cloth diapering Mommy friends to use. Even the designer is stating that diapers are clothing... cloth - ing!

Busy Memorial Day Weekend...
Hey kids! I wanted to let you both know, we had a blast today. This has been the most fun we have ever had over a long weekend. We went to a 50th Anniversary party for Daddy's godparents. You both got to go on your very first boat ride to the site!
Xavier, you went fishing for the first time ever and loved it. You caught 6 fish. You refused to touch them and the worms but, that's okay. You eventually did touch the fish though with a finger poke!
After the Anniversary picnic, we went to Auntie E and Uncle P's camp site. That was a treat. You both got to play in the river and met a couple of new friends. You played bubbles and ate some really good grilled food including a new favorite roasted marshmallows and S'mores!
Uncle P even offered for you to stay the night, X-man!
I was so very proud of my ability to cloth diaper Addy-bee the entire day even in non-diaper changing friendly environments (i.e. the country/golf club and outdoors in the woods). I was able to do it and it wasn't even a little difficult. I used pre-folds and covers mostly and a couple of pocket diapers for quick changes. Our first few changes were in the grass on a changing pad and the last few were in my brother's camper on the floor. It all worked out perfect!
Well, our long weekend ends tomorrow. We should be going to the beach with Uncle S and Auntie D for some fun in the sun. It will be Addy-bee's first time at Newport Beach. I hope it's fun!

SoftBums Perfect Fit Solo Pack diaper Winner's Review
I had read a few reviews on the SoftBums diaper and even watched the videos on their website when I first began looking for cloth diapers. I loved the concept but, like Ashley at Confessions of a First Time Mom, I couldn't see how this would keep my daughter dry during naps! I soon to discover that I too was wrong.
When I first received the diaper package in the mail, I almost called the company to complain. I jumped on the website to find contact info as I thought the diaper was flawed. At the front of the diaper there was a small slit section that was not sewn together but, it had finished seams. At second look, this seemed like an odd flaw so, I decided to read the inserts that came with the diaper. Soon I realized this was not a flaw. Instead, it is where the adjustable elastic is hidden. How genius! The ends of the adjustable leg elastics have little tiny toggles on them to help keep the elastic at the correct size. Again I'll say, GENIUS! I instantly fell in love!
Flip Diaper System Winner Review
How is the fit?
The Flip diaper is a one size (OS) fits most cover that snaps at the waist and rise. Like I said before, my daughter has a very short rise and skinny waist for an 18 month old. This diaper fits her wonderfully.
What features are my favorite? I love the ability to adjust the rise, the soft elastic at the legs and the little flaps that hold the soaker pad in place. In my opinion, the flaps are what make the Flip diaper a better stay-dry option for our little girl. We have trouble with some of the other diaper covers out there. They seem to leak at the waist when she is wearing elastic waist pants. It's more like wicking since the others formed gaps. I like that the Flip diaper has the waterproof flap in the front because it prevents wetness from wicking onto her clothing!
I'd like to thank Jamie at Suburban Saving Mama for this wonderful giveaway and Diaper Junction for donating the Flip diaper. I am so glad I won the chance to try this great diaper before I made the commitment to purchase one. If your looking for a place to purchase your own Flip diaper, try Diaper Junction. They even have a great customer rewards program!

Fuzzibunz OS diaper Winner's Review
I won a FuzziBunz OS cloth diaper at Take time to smell the Rose courtesy of Wee Little Changes. I already owned a Fuzzibunz OS in Lavender Daisy and loved it. When I found out I had won this giveaway, I was immediately excited. I couldn't wait to get a new FuzziBunz. After all, I already knew the inside fabric is so much softer and fuzzier than most brands and the fit on Addy was pretty good.
When I received the new FuzziBunz OS diaper in the mail last week, I was excited to say the least. I immediately opened the package to inspect it, took it appart and washed it a couple times. I love that it is aqua colored because it looks very girlie! I took the diapers out of the dryer and began piecing them together. It was then I noticed, the Fuzzibunz in aqua did not have the same cross-over snap as the lavender daisy one and that got me worried. How was I going to make up for the slack in the waist? Well, low and behold, further inspection of the diaper revealed the most amazing concept that I was unaware of up to this point. FuzziBunz OS truly are a one-sized cloth diaper, as they also have an adjustable waist elastic exactly like the legs. NO WAY! I pulled out the lavender daisy diaper and found that I had missed it all along! Hmmm, there I was thinking I had read everything there was to read about them.
In conclusion, FuzziBunz OS diapers are now my favorite. Now, I just need to purchase a few more! I'd like to thank Chari at Take time to smell the Rose for such a wonderful site and some awesome giveaways. Chari, your blog is wonderful and informative. I visit it every day! As for everyone else reading this, you should head over there and check her blog out and why you may ask?
