Mama Rose’s Naturals Review

May 20, 2009

Mmmmm … I love the smell of the Mama Rose’s Naturals Sunshine Spray Skin & Diaper Care, so much I have been using it for myself … DAILY! No one needs calming more than I do these days. It’s not just for diapering.

Mama Rose’s Natural Sunshine Spray consists of beautifully fragrant flower waters are aroma therapeutic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory to help calm and sooth the skin and diaper area. Wonderful for the entire family, and is ALCOHOL FREE! 2006 iPARENTING MEDIA AWARD WINNER!

I’ve also been testing the Magic Touch Skin & Diaper Balm on three of my childrens eczema. It is working … well.

The Magic Touch Skin & Diaper Balm helps sooth and protect diaper rash, minor cuts, eczema, burns, insect bites & stings, and other skin ailments. Great for the entire family!

Georgia my youngest often has severely chapped skin around her mouth. The kind that she can’t seem to keep herself from licking repeatedly throughout the day. Not only has the Magic Touch Skin & Diaper Balm helped the chapping immensely, but I feel confident that it is safe to be used around the mouth, and I am not worried about it being ingested.

I can’t say enough about these fantastic products. Mama Rose’s Naturals is a mom owned and operated business. Make sure to check out her entire line of products for the ENTIRE family HERE.

Clothinglabels4u Review

April 10, 2009

If you have a product to sell, then clothlabels4u has the right label for you!

I have to tell you that I was VERY surprised at the HUGE range of samples Lisa of http://clothinglabels4u.com/ sent over to me to review. I guess with my limited manufacturing experience, I wasn’t thinking past the ‘care tag’ sewn into garments, or the ‘made by grandma’ tags you can buy at a craft store.

clothinglabels4u review

Just take a look … they have paper tags, recycled paper tags, tags with ribbon, tags with string, instruction card inserts, rubber tags, woven tags, adhesive tags, damask labels, satin labels, taffeta labels, embroidered badges and even a ruler.

Best of all Lisa of clothinglabels4u is great to work with. If you make your own products and need clothing labels of any sort clothinglabels4u is a great place to get them.

Gen-Y Side Snap Diaper Cover and Laundry Tote Review

April 10, 2009

My first reaction when I opened the Gen-Y package for reveiw, was “WOW, this is gorgeous”. I was lucky and received the side snapping cover in this gorgeous Anna Maria Horner’s Chocolate Lollipop print.

You won’t want to cover this up! I’d say it’s a definite MUST for summer cloth diapering. Chocolate binding and snaps make for the perfect finishing touch.

Gen-Y cloth diaper covers are available in numerous sizes fitting babies 8 – 31+ lbs

_KIM0235 copy

Three rows of snaps make sure you get a comfortable fit for your baby.

Side snap covers are so easy to use and do a fabulous job of keep leaks away. An inner layer of PUL acts as a waterproof barrier, but is soft and flexible. The waist and legs are fitted with non-wicking stretch binding that gathers the fabric, yet is gentle on little legs and tummies. Poly-resin snap closures allow air circulation, are more difficult for your baby to undo, and wont snag or wear out with time. Machine wash/ dry with your other diapers… What’s not to love?

GEN-Y products are made in the USA.

I find side-snap covers work best with a fitted cloth diaper, but can also be used with a prefold with snappi (or pins).

Gen-Y covers are designed to wear hard and last. They are guaranteed against defects for six months from the date of sale to the original customer.

Gen-Y side snap covers are available in several great prints. Check out Gen-Y today and get a terrific side snapping diaper cover.

The laundry tote I received works well! I took advantage of it on a weekend trip to the mountains last weekend. You can imagine with the snow meltin and four kids, we had plenty of wet and soiled laundry. I managed to stuff a multitude of very muddy kids clothing into the tote. I was a wee bit worried about it soaking through and soiling our clean clothing for the trip home, but the tote held up wonderfully. The best part … I was able to just unzip it, throw the whole works into the machine when we got home … laundry tote and all.

The laundry tote is 14×26, it is made of heavy duty PUL and closes with a zipper to keep odors where they belong. A beautiful handle is constructed of two layers of cotton woven fabric, reinforced with heavy duty thread; it is just the right size to go over a door knob or wall hook. All seams and corners are reinforced.

Tidbit-Couture Wool Diaper Cover Reveiw

April 10, 2009

Wool has got to be my favorite natural fabric for diapering (especially for night time), so I was looking forward to receiving the Tidbit-Couture organic wool diaper covers for review. I wasn’t disappointed. The 100% Organic Merino Wool is super soft to the touch. You’ll be more than pleased to use it on your baby.

I received both a snap closing organic merino wool wrap:

and a pair of organic merino wool pull-on longies:

_KIM0227 copy

The workmanship on both items is superb as you can see in the photo below.

_KIM0230 copy

The wrap is designed with two (2) layers of beautiful, durable, soft Certified 100% Organic Merino Wool and a multitude of snaps to ensure you get the right fit.

_KIM0232 copy

The longies are also designed beautiful, durable, soft Certified 100% Organic Merino Wool, but are one-ply outer-layer and a short inner-layer so as to offer double protection in the diaper area where is is most needed. Note: longies are not available for purchase until later this spring. I just loved these. I can’t imagine a more comfortable garment for a small baby (or big one)!

These fantastic wool diaper covers are available at Tidbit Couture in natural and several wash-fast hand-dyed colors colors. Price ranges from 29.95 – 36.95 depending on color and size.
