Eco-Scrubby from EarthToGert

When I first saw these Eco-Scrubbies, I wanted to try them. They looked well made and I had a sink that needed to be SCRUBBED! I have been looking for things in the cleaning department that I could reuse!

Earth To Gert sent me an Eco-Scrubby to try out! I took it as soon as I got it and started cleaning! First I washed off my daughters high chair, normally it takes some time to get all the stickiness off from her fruit, but it took me just a minute with this thing!

Second I went to wash my sink! I had not given it a good scrub down in some time. It took so much time to make it shine and we have a busy life! I put a little RubyMoon in one side and let it fill up, then drained. Then scrubbed it with the Eco-Scrubby and in no time it was shinning with a notable difference! I was so pleased!!

Do you see that shine?!? This is a GREAT bang for your buck!

"The eco-scrubby is (handmade in the U.S.A.) is what your cleaning routine has been missing. Scrub pots and pans and sinks and showers and windows and counters and boots and buckets - until your eco-scrubby is dirty. Then just toss it in the washer, let air dry, and it is ready for your next dirty job"

One great thing about them is that they offer you a test decal so you can make sure you have figured out how to put it on correctly, before you put on the one you ordered! They also send you very detailed instructions to guide you through applying the decal!

I put up 3 in my house, and I have had no problems with them at all! They stick great on my textured walls and I don't see any signs of peeling either! I have also read that there can be a lot of trouble with bubbles in the print on vinyl decals but we have had no issues!! They look great on your walls and are a nice touch to any room! I would recommend these to anyone who asked me or was decorating their home!!

Stix Designs would like to giveaway a Play Room decal in blue or yellow or some paw prints of any one color.

Buying Used Diapers

Many mama's have asked me for my opinion about buying cloth diapers used. I decided to write a blog post dedicated to just that. I am sure lots of cloth diapering mamas ponder the idea and wonder if it is worth saving the few extra bucks.

When you go to buy cloth diapers used from someone you want to take a few factors in to account:
1. You will want to know how they cared for the diapers. Ex: Type of detergent used, how often washed ect..
2. You will want to know if there is any problems with the velcro/aplix or PUL. As most of us who use cloth know, the velcro if not well taken care of can start to fall apart pretty fast. PUL can also have issues with separating and affect the absorbency of the diaper!
3. If you like to show off your diapers (or you think you will want to when you start) you might ask for pictures of the outside to make sure it is not to stained and go ahead and check the inside for bad staining as well!

How they cared for them is the most important part of making that decision. Cloth diapers should be washed with detergent made with no bleach or soaps. For some babies they should not have fragrances as well.

If you purchase them used make sure to strip them before using them, just as you would buying used clothing! There are several methods on how to strip them. The simplest way is to wash them in the hottest water you can with just a little bit of viniger in the first wash then rinse them until you see no suds while it is agitating. *There are several other ways, you can ask me for others or google the ways!

By buying used you are helping reduce your carbon footprint! Always recycle, reduce, and reuse!

HootHootBaby Review

When I received my package from HootHootBaby I was BLOWN away! They are the most adorable diapers I have ever seen. I shared them with everyone on Facebook that day and you all couldn't believe the cuteness factor!!

I have spent a lot of time talking to the maker of these great diapers and I want to tell you a little about some of the things she has to offer you! She does custom diapers for no extra charge! This means, if you need a special fit, have a child with special needs, or just want it made in your 'own' way.. She is your go to person! She also makes unscaled diapers from t shirts! You do get a discount if you provide the outer fabric! For an extra fee you can get extra soakers/liners!

....The diaper I chose to review was the......

Is that not a great package! You get one OS diaper and 3 wipes.

Cutest polka dots around!!

My daughter has worn this several times since I received it. It has became one of my favorite diapers!! On average this diaper lasts about 2 hours with our heavy wetter! We had no leaks or blowouts. I do believe that with these HootHootBaby diapers you wont have blowouts due to the way the legs are made! It is very snug (not tight)! When washing it there has not been any fading or another problems!

The only thing I would change about the diaper is to have extra inserts/soakers.. and GUESS WHAT.. she can do that! :)

These diapers are made with cotton knit, organic bamboo, and organic cotton. They are all homemade in Kansas! You should browse her photos on Facebook and see how awesome her creations are. Your child ready to be potty trained? She has trainers!!!
