Funky Fluff Bamboo 3 in 1 Diaper Review & Giveaway US & CANADA!

I love cloth diapers and I also love finding new brands. I was excited to try out Funky Fluff's New Bamboo diaper! When I first received this diaper we had a horrible cause of yeast so i couldn't try it for a long while but that gave me extra time to get it all prepped correctly. Here is the diaper I received.

I choose the color brown and blue and it retails for $20.58.
At first glance I love these colors they are my favorite combination!
FUNKY FLUFF Bamboo diapers were designed for parents who want incredible absorbency and natural fibers against their baby’s skin. Bamboo is very sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its crop grows quickly and requires little maintenance. Fabrics made from bamboo are especially soft and have great ventilation. They keep babies comfortable and cool. Bamboo is also one of the most absorbent fabrics available for cloth diapers.


Design Features:

    • NEW: Slimmer design in the middle of diaper shell for a trimmer fit
    • Bamboo 3 in 1 System: Pocket, All in One, All in Two. Use it any way you like it.
    • One Size design fits babies from 7 – 35+ lbs
    • 2 x 4 rise settings adjust to fit newborn, small, medium and large sizes
    • Unique funky coloured “belt” on each diaper
    • Double row of durable snaps allow separate waist and leg adjustment
    • Cross over snaps give a great newborn fit and also function as a tidy storage option for soiled diapers on the go. Roll it up and snap closed until wash day.
    • Hip snaps help to prevent “wing droop”
    • Stretchy & soft around legs and waist 
    • Pocket opening in the front and back make it easier to get the soaker in and out
    • Waterproof strip at the top edge of the diaper provides additional protection against leaks
    • An outer layer of breathable, waterproof polyurethane laminated polyester (PUL) keeps wetness contained
    • Diaper lining consists of bamboo terry material made from 80% bamboo viscose and 20% polyester.

Bamboo Soaker Features:

    • NEW: Slimmer soaker design fits perfectly in the Funky Fluff diaper shell
    • NEW: Double stitched edges around soaker reinforce and extend durability
    • Each FUNKY FLUFF diaper comes with 2 unique soakers!
    • Our light, smaller soaker, consisting of 4 layers of bamboo blend terry, can be used in the newborn and/or small rise setting. It can also function as a booster for overnight and for older babies
    • Also included is our heavy duty, super absorbent soaker consisting of 5 layers of bamboo blend terry
    • The heavy duty soaker can be folded at the crease line and used in a newborn and/or small setting for heavy wetters if the light soaker is not enough. For maximum absorbency, the soaker can be placed with the folded portion at the top of the diaper for boys and with the folded portion at the bottom for girls
    • Our soakers snap into the top and/or bottom of the diaper shell (if desired) to keep them in place for mobile babies and toddlers and when snapped in at both ends create an All In One system
    • FUNKY FLUFF soakers have the ability to agitate out in the wash on their own (when snapped at one end of the diaper) eliminating pulling out soiled soakers by hand. No more touching wet and dirty soakers!
    • The soakers may also stay attached to the diaper while in the wash (although at times they do separate from the shell). You’ll spend less time sorting laundry with this feature.
    • Each soaker is made from bamboo terry material that consists of 80% bamboo viscose and 20% polyester.
The inserts are super soft and this diaper has worked out great for us. I always use both of the inserts in the diaper and it has even lasted us thru nap times. Here is how it looks on.
The baby is 18lbs and this is a great setting for him. You could use this on smaller babies and it looks so cute. Lets not forget a backside shot.
One lucky TTGG follower will be winning one of Funky Fluff's bamboo diapers in the color of their choice!

Yo Yummy Yogurts #momsmeet

YoYummy was started by three guys with a very basic philosophy in mind: create a healthy, responsibly-made yogurt that tastes great and is affordable! YoYummy and Green Mountain Creamery strive to support their local dairy economy and community, using only Vermont cow milk from the Commonwealth Dairy. As a company, they are also committed to environmental sustainability and package all of their products using BPA-free materials.

Here is the pack that I received to try out.
Just the facts

YoYummy yogurts are available in four delicious flavors: Mixed Berry, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry, and Cotton Candy.

YoYummy yogurt is made with Grade-A rBST-free Vermont milk, is a good source of calcium, and is rich in vitamin A and D.

It has 10 percent less sugar than the leading national brand kids’ yogurt. Real fruits and berries add just enough natural sugar to YoYummy yogurt to make it taste sweet.

YoYummy is free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, additives, and preservatives. YoYummy is naturally gluten free.

YoYummy is available at Wegman’s, Costco, Hannaford, Stew Leonard’s, Fresh & Easy, and Sprout’s Farmer Markets.

The retail price for YoYummy is $4.99 for a 4-pack, $9.99 for a 12-pack, and $1.29 for single pouches.

Everyone loved these here at our house. The favorite flavor was cotton candy I loved it and so did my 10 year old son. I also let our 9 month old bay have a taste and he LOVED it also. He loves anything in these squeezable pouches. The yogurt is so creamy that it makes for a great snack.

Make sure to follow them online for more information. FACEBOOKTWITTER and PINTEREST.

include this disclaimer (or something similar): I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms MeetSM program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms MeetsSM blogger, I agreed to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of the product.

4 Knowledge 4 Fun Toys

4Knowledge-4Fun.com


I was able to browse around 4 knowledge 4 fun and they have some amazing toys for all ages. We tried out 2 toys one for baby and one for Brendan. Here they are. First is the My pad and it retails for $26.99 but their price is $23.45.

iving children stimulating, quality toys at a young age provides them with the tools they need to grow, thrive and learn. Through play, children explore their world and experience wonder and fulfillment, opening a world of possibilities. Knowing this, we created a line of preschool toys named Mirari, from the Latin word "wonder". Our toys embody classic play in an innovative way, without any unnecessary or overwhelming features, to entertain and engage children. Play should be pure in its experience, without added features that merely distract and detract from the magic of play. The Mirari brand of toys embraces this, bringing joy to children and families, because we believe that a world of wonder begins with playful discoveries.

he durable play tablet features 20 colorful light-up images and 40 fun sounds and phrases that activate when children press the arrow buttons. When switched on, each image your child navigates to results in a fun sound or education phrase. Children will have their very own learning pad to play with, and they’ll have fun pretending to be like mommy and daddy with their tablets.
A Fun Developmental Tool
  • Cognitive Learning (understanding the cause & effect relationship)
  • Sensory Development (exploring with hands and eyes, experiencing sounds and lights)
  • Imagination (pretending toys are like grown-ups’ electronics)

Imaginative play that allows children to pretend to be like the grown-ups in their lives is one of the most classic play patterns. For years, children have played with toy kitchens, tool benches, dress-up clothes, food, cars, and in more recent years they've had toy cell phones. In keeping with today's newest items, Mirari developed the myPad so that children can continue playing like mommy and daddy (and today's mommies and daddies have tablets). So, it's still the beloved pretend play, but it's been updated to fit today's child.
Mirari's innovative myPad features lights and sounds to keep children engaged, but we made sure there are no unnecessary features to overwhelm children and take away from the wonder of play.


Next is their Small Tool Box Set which retails for $33.00 for their price is $28.75.

About the Brand
Moulin Roty is a French toy company that had produced award-winning toys for over 40 years, and has charmed the youngest members of millions of families across the globe to date.
History
Moulin Roty is a tiny communal village in western France founded in 1972 as a quest for a healthier and more rewarding lifestyle. In 1975 The Moulin Roty Toy Company launched 2 toys: a car made of wood and sponge, and a soft rag doll named "la douillette" that charmed everyone with its originality. In 1980 Moulin Roty became a worker-owned cooperative. To ensure the development and the durability of the company, the founding members adopted the status of co-op (SCOP in French) to preserve the founding values of the brand: solidarity, sharing and respect.
Materials
Moulin Roty searches for the very best materials, selecting most of their fabrics from France and the rest from Europe because of their design and technical quality, as well as their non-toxicity. (Oeko-Tex certified). All solid wood used, mainly beech wood, comes from forests that are managed ecologically and that respect quotas for felling and re-planting.

This set is so cute and my son loves it. It is small and compact and it fits into small spaces. We keep this out in our garage because it is real tools and comes with a saw. This is perfect when he works with dad he has his own tools that he can use to help out. Love it.

Itsy Bitsy Neccessities Applecheeks size 2 Review & Giveaway







Cloth diapering is a great way to save money but for me I need to have them all especially all of the cute prints out there. I was excited to get a Applecheeks size 2 to try on for size. We have a size 1 and we just out grew it. Itsy Bitsy Neccessities carries Applecheeks and much more. I choose the Wingin It pattern and it retails for around $20.00. Here is how the print looks.


So cute I just love the print. Here is info from their website on the diaper.
Apple Cheeks Envelope Covers Offer:

 An outer layer of breathable, waterproof polyurethane laminated polyester (PUL), sewn to a butter soft microfleece inner layer, so that only the softest of soft touches your baby’s delicate skin.
• Snug, durable elastic at both the waist and legs for a gentle and secure fit.

• Two rows of easy-to-adjust snaps, allowing for a proper fit at the legs and the waist.
• A beautiful range of truly spectacular colours to appeal to a wide range of esthetic.
• A handy envelope opening, wide enough for daddy’s hands, which allows for the option of placing the absorbent inner between the fleece and the waterproof outer layer if so desired.


• A more generous and longer lasting fit than other similar styles on the market. Size 1 fits from 7 - 20lbs, and Size 2 fits from 18 -40lbs. All weight ranges are approximate
.• The ultimate cloth diapering solution
!• AppleCheeks™ covers feature a unique envelope design, similar to a pocket diaper, but with NO NEED TO UNSTUFF. The absorbent inserts come right out in the wash!

Keep in mind when ordering that these diapers do not come with inserts. I used the applecheeks insert that I had in my size 1 diaper and it fits perfectly.

I was wondering how this diaper would fit from 18-40 lbs since it doesnt have any size adjustment snaps but my baby is 18lbs and it fits great.
We cant forget about the butt shot.
Baby is 9 months and wont sit still for anything especially on the changing table. I love these diapers we have never had a leak and they are easy to add more absorbancy to them for longer use.

One lucky TTGG follower will be winning a Applecheeks diaper of their own in Lake Echo!

Nature Bumz Tots Bots Cloth Diaper

Nature Bumz Co

The Nature Bumz Co is out of Canada and they carry all of your favorite brands. I was lucky to get to try out a Tots Bots Easy Fit AIO Diaper that they carry in stock. I Choose the Three Little Piggies print and it retails for $25.00.
The diaper came with alot of info on caring for your cloth diapers and it is perfect if you are just starting out. I love the print and I was excited to check it out and try it on the baby.



The New Easy Fit one-size all-in-one cloth diaper combines the convenience of a one-size all-in-one cloth diaper with the benefits of a 2-piece diaper: easy to care for and quick to dry. It’s the best of both worlds!


No assembly required! This innovative diaper has a fold-out liner, which makes it very easy to stuff. But don’t worry about unstuffing - the agitation in your washing machine will work the liner out of the pocket, so there’s no need to get your hands dirty!


The liner is made of three layers of soft minky fabric: it absorbs quickly, and it absorbs a LOT. The liner can be folded to create more layers where more absorption is needed, or to reduce bulk if desired. Bonus: minky dries VERY quickly, so after the wash is done, these diapers will be back on baby’s bum in no time.



This is a cloth diaper engineered for successful leak containment and total convenience. With a wider elastic in the back and a stretchy waist, the New Easy Fit offers great protection, and a super comfy fit too.

The New Easy Fit all-in-one one-size cloth diaper is colour-coordinated for a sleeker look. Snaps, hook and loop, thread and minky are dyed to match the outer fabric - proof that cloth diapers are more fun and fashion-forward than ever!
The NEW EASY FIT is a one-size diaper (8-35 lbs); use the snaps on the front to adjust the rise. T
All Tots Bots products are manufactured in their own factory in Glasgow, Scotland. You can be confident that their products are ethically and sustainably manufactured.


 This diaper is super cute and so so soft inside.
The baby is about 18lbs and the fit is great. I normally do not like Velcro but this one is really nice. The best part is the butt shot!
The baby is on the move not at 9 months and never sits still. This diaper has a great fit and I just cant get over the cute print. They have many other prints as well that are just as cute.

Woolzies Dryer Balls Review & Giveaway





Woolzies Dryer Balls

If you are a cloth diaper user than dryer balls are a must. Since you can not add any type of fabric softener or dryer sheets I wondered what to do? I was excited to get to try out Woolzies Dryer Balls. 
Here is a little bit about their company from their web site.

Soft By Nature, Inc. is a small family owned company nestled in the picturesque Hudson Valley region of Southern New York State. Our mission is straight-forward; we intend to pass down this earth to our children in the same beautiful condition that we received it from our parents. We accomplish this by developing all natural eco friendly products and sharing them with our fellow citizens.
In this spirit, we are very proud to present WOOLZIES®, The All Natural Dryer Ball Set. These sets of handmade pure wool dryer balls are special in several ways. They deliver the same benefits for laundry as conventional fabric softeners WITHOUT all the nasty chemicals. They save everyone a lot of money by eliminating the need to continuously spend on fabric softener liquid and sheets. They cut down on the time it takes to dry a typical load by at least 25% thereby saving everyone even more money and cutting down on fossil fuel usage. Finally, being as that they are handmade in the democratic republic of Nepal, they provide a steady source of income to the desperately needy women of that developing nation.

So smile when you purchase a set of WOOLZIES®, because you know you’re helping to make the world a more pleasant place for yourself, your family and future generations!
I received the set of 6 dryer balls and they retail for $34.95. woolzies
Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won’t fall apart or melt on you.  Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles.

Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that’s completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as they will not shed onto your laundry.

Unlike even natural dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners, Woolzies last for 1,000 loads and are therefore extremely eco friendly. So why risk your health and waste your money with regular fabric softeners when you can save time, energy and money with all natural pure Woolzies!

I can say that i don't know if it helps to much with the static especially on blankets and large covers but with clothes and our diapers we never have any problems! I LOVE LOVE these!

One lucky TTGG follower will be winning a set of their own!
