I got my FuzziBunz & Charlie Banana in!!

So I have been very excited about my FuzziBunz and Charlie Banana diapers that I ordered. Well-the Charlie Banana is AWESOME!! It holds beautifully, it fits perfect and it’s super cute!!

The FuzziBunz that I received was the used one. It was a size medium and I noticed that around the legs, it didn’t fit him very well. It was loose. It held well though so that part I have no complaints about. I really love the material it is made of. Most of the cloth diapers has like a fleece lining or something like it. This one is so soft, almost like a minky. It also comes with 2 inserts, a small and a medium/large. This diaper fit nicely around his little legs and we had no leak issues. He wore it through his nap. My son is very skinny or maybe I should call it fit. Because of his health issues, he burns calories much quicker than most babies so his height is above average but his weight is way below average-in the 20 percentile in growth. I am hoping that the OS (One Size) FuzziBunz that’s coming in will fit much better. I didn’t check my mail yesterday so I will bet that my brand new FuzziBunz is sitting in the mail box right now.

Do You Like FREE Stuff??

Ok, we all like free stuff! Of course! Why not, right?! Well, a while ago, I found this really awesome site where you can get rid of things you don’t want or need and get free things in return that you do want or need. I have actually gotten a lot of neat things off of this website such as a brand new Vera Bradley purse, vintage abalone buttons, clothes, baby sunglasses and much, much more! I have even gotten new cloth diapers on there! Somethings on there are new and some are not. I currently have my 1st generation IPod Nano & Shuffle listed as well as a cell phone and a Palm Z22. Some people offer free shipping but you can charge if you are not able to cover shipping or do not want to. I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff that I have not used in a while and that was just taking up space.

This website works off of points. So it’s like ebay with points and not money. The more you list and people bid on your item, the higher your points get and when your listing closes, you get your points!

I highly recommend this site! If you want to check it out, click on this link and see what it is all about! http://www.listia.com/signup/460443

My first real product review!

So I just got my first item to review today!! I have yet to try it out so I will let everyone know how well it works in the next couple of days. The item that was sent to me was a Bryton Pick. It’s actually pretty neat, but I will get into more detail after I try it and see how well it works. It’s a great replacement for dental floss! So stay tuned to see how well this works!!

The First Day of November!

WOW! It’s hard to believe that this year has flown by so quickly! Geese! Next month is Christmas! It’s sneaking up on me so fast! I feel like the year just started yesterday and I just had my son…but here he is, going to be 9 months on the 4th…wow.

So yesterday was fun! My oldest daughter had 2 of her friends come over and we took them to my in laws neighborhood and went trick or treating. My friends met us there and we all went together! There were so many kids with us! Usually we just take our kids but this year was much better!

Here’s some pics…

This cute little girl is actually 1 week younger than my son!

We all know how hard it is to get babies to pose for pics lol

All all three of these babies are within 1.5 weeks of age of each other!

And here is my mother in law with my oldest, middle and my oldest daughter’s friends. My kids are the vampire and witch.

They got a good amount of candy and of course I have all intentions of…testing it out lol.

All the different types and brands of cloth diapers!

There are so many different types and brands of cloth diapers. As of right now, I had 2 WAHM diapers, 1 Baby Alva, and the rest are BabyLand’s. I was thinking of trying Charlie Banana diapers. I really like the diapers that have the 3rd row snaps because they fit and stay on my son better. I noticed that while the BabyLand diapers do the job and hold very well, the tabs keep moving under the snap part and exposing the baby to where he could leak.

The only thing that drives me insane is that these name brand diapers are so expensive. Most of them range from $15+ a piece! I understand that in the long run you save money, but goodness! I have seen some as high as $50+ and that’s just for one!!

I personally like to use pockets and I wouldn’t be opposed to using AIO’s (All In One’s). I am thinking that Charlie Banana will do us well. But at the moment I am shopping around to find the best price and which brand I would like to try. Ultimately what I would like to do is little by little, test out different brands and see how well they work for us.

As of right now, I am thinking I may purchase a Fuzzibunz and a Charlie Banana. I see eBay has the best prices so far. The prices I have seen are $16 (Fuzzibunz) & $17.88 (Charlie Banana) and these include free shipping.

Buying and looking at cloth diapers are fun and exciting! Ever since I started cloth diapering, I have been addicted to looking at them and debating on which one’s I will get next or try. I go on cafemom or my mommy group from cafemom moved to facebook and ask them for their opinions about certain brands.

And now my purchases are complete!! This is what I got!!

Charlie Banana-The Matthew Langille Collection

And then I got Fuzzi Bunz-Diaper Talk

I actually got a GREAT deal on the Fuzzi Bunz. I found it on ebay for $11.01 + $1.99 shipping.

I am so excited! I can’t wait until they come!! I will have to write about my experience with them 🙂

I had to cancel my mom meet :(

I had a mom meet planned for today. I had planned this probably about 3 weeks ago and it was to be my first mom meet since becoming a mom ambassador last month. I decided I would hold 1 meeting a month and I would rotate from daytime/during the week one month and night time/weekend the next month so that the moms who could not make it, could go the following month.

I planned my meeting to be held in a local park, which is popular because it has HUGE trees that shade the whole playground and park itself. There isn’t dirt around the equipment, they have the rubber chips everywhere. This park is popular on the weekends to have birthday parties. At any rate, I planned it to be today from 10:30am-12:30pm. I figured the kids could run and play and get worn out so that after we were done they could go home, the kids could take a nap, and we could all get a little bit of quiet time, lol. I woke up this morning before my alarm went off because I heard my 2 yr old crying. When I woke up, I heard rain so I looked outside and saw that I heard right, it was raining. Great. So I drive my oldest to the bus stop and waited with her for the bus. While I was there I put up a post on my mom’s meet group on facebook and told them that we may have to re-schedule. When I came back, I got ready for the meet. By the time 9:30am rolled around, it had stopped raining but it was all wet. I knew that wet playground equipment isn’t ideal for me, so I know it can’t be with the others. I texted everyone that was going to show up and told them we need to reschedule.

I am kind of bummed. I really wanted to gather everyone together and hand out. I bought water, organic lemonade, organic sweet tea, organic green tea, organic chips, organic cookies, and organic crackers. I was ready! Oh well. I will re-schedule this next week, but I will be sure to check the weather first!!
