mama cloth GIVEAWAY!

I cloth diaper my baby and I am proud of it. I bring up that fact every time I can :) showing off my daughters adorable fluffy butt off at church and even explaing CDing to strangers in the changing area of the bathroom. CLoth just seemed a natural choice for us and our new little one.

I had heard about a lot of women who cloth diaper also using reusable cloth pads or mama pads for their feminine product needs. I was a little squemish about the thought...didn't these lady know that was blood?? yuck.  My PP period came out of no where, and I was stuck with no "coverage" in the house. uggg.  I didn't miss those days of running to the store for a tampon run. * sigh*

Then I remembered that Beautifully Created had sent me a PP mama cloth to review.  This isve is GREAT for right after you have a baby or even at night.

SO I tried it out. NOw let me tell you, I havent used pads AT ALL since I was about 12 :) So i really was not expecting to like this 12" diaper.  LOVE!  OBV on your who haa...now were talkin'. I will never go back to tampons again.  even with such a large size I didn't really knotice it was there.

I never thought I could like a pad...especially cloth.  But I am now a convert. cloth all the way.  If my babys butt can be spoiled, so can mine :)


What I like: first off it took me 3 months to write this review and the seller hasn't yelled at me yet :) thats one patient woman. Next is variety, you name it shes got it and its a great quality. Also, washing was much easier than I had first anticipated it to be. I just threw them in for a cold rince and then washed with my diaper laundry as usual * thumps up* the blood didn't bother me at all. woo hoo!

What I dont like: ummm....lets see. the fact that I am about to spend about $50 on pads...:)  good price, all things considered,  but its still a sting on the wallet.

Oh how children forget...

Money Isn't Everything, But It Sure Keeps The Kids In Touch.






I'm surprised at how easily children are swayed with the promises of toys and games. Our kids are in no way spoiled...that would be pretty hard with 6 kids and one income. I always thought it was only the spoiled kids whose minds could be changed simply by purchasing "things"



Our 5 year old goes to his dad's house on the weekends, and we have had a lot of issues around that. We wont go into that right now. A few weeks ago, my son came back very upset about some things that had happened over the weekend. I was really mad about it, and I started thinking that maybe we should make the visits every other weekend.



here's where it gets funny. I talked to my son about switching the days he went to his dads house. Here's how the conversation went



him " ya, I think its about time I see you on the weekends"

me" oh, you don't want to see your dad at all anymore, how about we just make it every other weekend instead"

him " no mom, I want to see him monday-thursday"

me " WHAT?!?" ( and i reminded him about what had just happened over there)

him "ya, but I have more toys over there"

me " so you aren't upset about that anymore?"

him " ya, but I have more TOYS over there"



uggh! kids. I guess that's why kids aren't allowed to make their own decisions until they are older.





Our two other boys are (almost)5 and 8. We had a similar situation with them. They didn't want to go to their moms house until she started buying them new toys every time they came over. sheesh!

I think it is hilarious how easily children forget things in the face of toys.

I've decided from now on, I'm walking around with hot-wheels in my pocket, ready to pass out ... :)

Ambernee crochet: custom hat giveaway!

OH my! Can I just say how much I absolutely love these hats!?! LOVE. I myself make crochet hats, all the time...like a crazy woman.

but... mine do not compare the quality of ambernee crochet on etsy's. I am now ashamed that I ever thought my hats were good.

Oh well you live and learn :)






Everyone loves a cute hat on a baby, I really don't need to tell you that. Now, where to find a good quality, great priced hat...THAT I will tell you.


ambernee crochet. She made and shipped my custom hat in less than a day. Seriously, this woman is a crocheting freak of nature :)

What I like: customer service is two thumbs way up. love this seller, SO sweet and super fast convo responces. plus, her product is to die for. super soft yarn and great color combinations.

also, her turn around time is unbeleivable, I HATE having to wait and with this seller I didn't have to.

What I dont like: well its sad to say that I'm jealous. ALOT jealous of this woman. and I dont like that. I don't like that I will never again be able to crochet something withought comparing it to the incredible quality of her work.

but to be honist, nohing about her or her product I dont like...and I wish there was :)
