New Product Excitement :: bumGenius 4.0 Tiny Socialite Collection

Before I get to the really REALLY exciting stuff, I want to give a brief status report on how the bumGenius 4.0 diapers and closures are holding up as compared to our 3.0s.

They rock.

The closures are still as good as new. The diaper is perfectly sized. The new inserts (which I didn’t realize were also re-engineered) are super absorbent and thick and soft. I love the new 4.0s and SO wish I could get more. However, I do have lots and lots of repair kits with

Review + Giveaway :: Eat! Move! Play!

Because Weight Watchers is awesome and because I am one lucky mama, the kind folks at the WW office sent me over one of their newest books, called Eat! Move! Play! I’ve spent the past few weeks reading through the book (I’m a slow reader and only find five minutes at a time to absorb any printed word), and have found it to be chock full of great tips for motivating your kiddos to stay active and eat healthy, as well as for

I Made a Huge Life-Altering Mistake

Okay, maybe that’s being a bit dramatic, but I can tell you that to me this is huge.

Why?

Well, for one, I led you astray because I was wrong.

About powdered peanut butter.

Remember this stuff?

I reviewed it and was very meh about it, primarily because I didn’t like the portion sizes. But guess what.

I read the directions wrong. All wrong. And I realized it this morning.

So please head back over to the new, revised post and see what I have

PB2 :: Review

A friend of mine was recently raving on Facebook about her new discovery: PB2. She mentioned that it was pricey, but delicious and at only 45 calories a serving, totally worth the price tag. I filed that status update away in my brain under “things that make ya go hmmmm,” and went on my merry way.

Rockin’ Green Cloth Diaper Detergent :: Review + Giveaway

In honor of Happy Baby Company being named Rockin’ Retailer of the Year for Rockin’ Green, I thought I’d take the time to give you a two-fer of imanimama.com posts tonight. You’ve seen plenty of posts now of me raving about Rockin’ Green, the amazing little cleaner that could. About a month or so ago, I reached out to the owner and asked if she’d be interested in doing a review/giveaway on imanimama.com. She sent me a few packets of Classic Rock in several scents and I went about putting it to the test.

Planet Wise Wet Bag :: Review & Giveaway

We’ve been cloth diapering our little munchkin now for over 10 months and have really fallen in love with the whole cloth nappy experience. There’s something perfectly yummy about an oversized bubble butt on a tiny little babe. And then there’s the cheerful view from your kitchen window as you look out at a rainbow of adorable little dipes hanging from the line. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But along with the warm fuzzies of being a part of the cloth diapering crowd come some real bits of wisdom. We’ve tried lots of different products, from different dipes and inserts, to detergents (more on this in a couple weeks), to lotions and potions, and wet bags. And after 10 months, we know what we like, what works for us and what just doesn’t work at all.
