Sunbaby Cloth Diapers Review and #Giveaway

After searching for cheap but functional pocket diapers, I came across Sunbaby through one of the cloth diapering groups I belong to. When browsing the Sunbaby website, The first thing I noticed were the super cute prints. They carry girl and boy prints in addition to solid colors with new prints being released every couple of months. 

These one size pocket diapers adjust in size to fit babies from 7 to 35 pounds and feature adjustable hip and front snaps. As for material, The outer layer of a Sunbaby is made of breathable PUL and the inner layer is a super soft microfleace that keeps your little one dry.

My Lice Nightmare

I never in my life thought I'd be writing about this subject but I want to share my experience with other parents. If you ever had them, you know what a pain it is to get rid of them. If you never had them, well, I hope that you never get them. 

One of the common misconceptions is that only people who are "dirty" and children can contract lice. WRONG! Anyone can get them, even the cleanliest person. From what I've heard and read, it's more common for elementary school children to contract them and is spread by head to head contact. The best way to try to avoid getting lice is to make sure your child doesn't share hats, combs, brushes, clothing or any type of bedding.

My True Nature Natural Childrens Bath Products Review and #Giveaway!



Baby E loves bath time and playing with her favorite bath toy, her rubber duck. I'm pretty particular about what types of bath products I use on her and prefer eco-friendly and natural products.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day

I'm not sure where this originated and I'm sure many of you have seen it already but I wanted to share it in honor of today.

"This week we remember all babies born sleeping, whom we have carried but never met, those we have held but could not take home or the ones that came home but didn't stay. In memory of all lost angels."

Kidzsignments is here! #NJ

Kidzsignments is one of New Jersey's largest consignment events. The sale features items for children and has a huge selection of gently used (and even some new) clothes, shoes, toys, games, baby gear and more! They have 2 sales a year, one in spring and the other in fall.  

This past April I attended the Kidzsignments' first time mom sale at the Edison location. This sale goes on before the general sale and is open to expecting mothers, parents in the process of adopting, and parents with a child up to 18 months of age. I discovered some amazing bargains which included a Bumbo seat with tray in excellent condition for just $10!
