June2010

Is it summer time now? Sure feels like it here!  Although it is hard to get used to loving my boys playing in the dirt. We have no grass yet. Just dirt and TONNES of mud after the rains we have had lately. Not something to complain about because after almost 7 long months of renting a dive, we are now in our half completed home that my husband spent so many hours on!  We feel very blessed to have the opportunity to do this. It is quite an adventure.

If you aren't 'connected' to us via facebook or twitter, then I will try to keep you up to date on what is going on around here!  (Especially since I haven't sent out a newsletter lately...)  On the way we have more unbleached infant and premium sized prefolds, also Thirsties NEW Duo Hemp Prefolds!  I absolutely LOVE the feel of their new hemp. It is custom made especially for Thirsties and 25% more absorbent then other prefolds and very trim too!  I don't have too many of these yet in my own personal stash but let me tell you - after wash day is done this is the first one I grab and it is paired great with a duo wrap... 

Also get your AMP preorder in to us before Friday! We are placing an order then. You will get 15% off your preorder. What a DEAL!! Email us if we don't have what you are looking for on our site...

Ok enough fluff talk!  I want to see if anyone has used the Pampers Dry Max at all?  (It's okay to admit it! Even we use disposables and have them on hand 'just in case.') There has been much controversy about them, and about Pampers bashing the use of cloth diapers too! This is what pampers.com's headline said "Pampers Is Committed To Your Baby's Health, Happiness, and Safety."  It still won't convince me, especially when there are so many reports about rashes and bum burns!

Even Huggies are coming out with a patterned diaper that looks like a pair of jean shorts. If you ask me, they are trying to add the cuteness factor just like cloth diapers too!  I wonder when they will come out with a washable one too?  Hmmmm...

That's all my thoughts today! What do you think? Do pictures make a post more exciting?  Next time I will add some for some visual eye candy too :)

Stay tuned for Local Drop In Morning dates and something you ALL love - FREE STUFF... because birthdays need to be celebrated!!

New and not so...

There are new things happening around here!  It's spring, don't you feel it?  Well, for all of April, we definitely felt it, but now it is raining out (although MUCH needed...).  And a tad better then the snow we hear some Albertans were getting lately!

We like to feel the comment love so feel free to comment and let us know what you are thinking!

With the new-ness of spring comes new products we are carrying!  Some from the same companies, and more companies added to our lines as well. Check out the New! link on the homepage to see what is happening...

We LOVE supporting local companies and have finally added Winnipeg's own AMP Diapers to our list of products!  Right now we only have the One Size Duo Diapers, with hemp and bamboo inserts.  Back when my almost 3 year old was just a wee one, the AMP hemp insert was the first hemp insert I ever tried!  It's hard to believe it was just that long ago...

A part of the cloth diaper craze that has definitely interested me is the array of beautiful prints that come out!  Thirsties just introduced the Duo Wrap (with Aplix {aka Velcro}, and also Snaps now!) in some very very very cute prints!  Which one is your favorite?

We have heard of a few people's plans for the summer and would love to hear yours!  S tells us she is taking her little sweat pea to the cottage for a few weeks and has already looked into somewhere to wash her diapers.  Great idea and planning ahead!!

Camping trips also make it possible too!  Especially 2-3 days away.  That is how long we go between washes anyways but for some you may need to bring your whole stash or even get a few extra prefolds or inserts (we recommend hemp or bamboo, and suggest that you don't put microfiber against a baby's skin) that can fold to fit into any pocket diaper or diaper cover!

Have your larger pail liner sitting in the car or tent/camper and during the day just put soiled diapers/inserts into a travel wetbag. Don't forget your swim diaper that you can hang to dry between trips to the beach or pool! As seen below, even Wubbanubs make it to the beach ;)  This lil boy is turning THREE on Monday. Oh how time flies...

Hope to hear more from us, and we hope to hear more from YOU!  Thanks for sticking around.   

P.S. Are you on Facebook?  I am REALLY itching to do a giveaway soon - VERY soon, and once we hit 300 'likers' (formerly known as fans!) we will giveaway a gift certificate to our store! If you comment here you can increase your chances by getting another entry.  Also, once we reach 50 followers on this blog we will giveaway MORE. Now go follow... and like... ;) and we will see you soon. And I just added a feedburner badge to the blog so you can sign up for email updates when we post!!

D-d-d-duo Wrap . . . !

It is the announcement I have been waiting for!!

Thirsties Duo Wraps are now in stock! I am so excited about these!! Not only are they a partner in one of the most cost effective diapering systems, they come in only two sizes that will fit from birth to potty. Which means, less sizes to go through and buy. I personally like using these with prefolds with my 5 month old, but my 2 year old wears these with fitteds. And guess what? They BOTH wear size 2! They come in some great colors too:
(My favorite is Meadow, Pam C's too I believe!)


Right now they cost only $15 each, but if you buy 6 or more you get 5% off! And if a birthday, special occasion, or 'just because' is coming up we now offer Gift Certificates! I don't like to mention how close it is in the warmer months but Christmas is just around the corner too :)

What's on your wishlist?!?
