Bye Bye Sposies GRAND PRIZE giveaway!!!!

It's time to say Bye Bye to this amazing event! I've hope you've all had fun and congratulations so far to the lucky winners! Before I tell you about our Grand Prize sponsors and how amazing they all are, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to the sponsors in the previous review and giveaway through-out this event.

I'd like to introduce you to the amazing sponsors of my grand prize package #1, what I'm calling the Perfect Package. It comes with not too many diapers and a good variety of styles and brands!

--------------------------------------

First up we have Nell's Natural Baby, a family owned business from Ohio. They offer some great informational pages and programs for all your cloth diaper needs. For expecting parents, They offer a Newborn Kissaluvs Rental and Gift Registry. If you are expecting multiples, please let us know so that we can offer you our multiples discount! They carry all your favorite brands and is pleased to offer 1 FuzziBunz diaper of choice in the grand prize!!

Next up we have Snuggle Bugz which is a shop from Canada. They don't just carry cloth diapers but also, nursing supplies, strollers, car seats, decor, travel gear, furniture, and so much more. You name it, Snuggle Bugz probably has it!! Founded in 2006 by a husband and wife team, Ben and Tayna started their store with the vision of providing quality baby items in an environment where you can feel at home and comfortable to ask questions! This online and brick & mortar company is here to help you furnish your baby's first year.

Tanya has provide one Apple Cheeks lil' bundle, 1 swim diaper and 1 bottle of bumGenius Bottom Cleaner to a very lucky winner!

We also have Itti Bitti, a cloth diaper company from Australia coming in do donate in Bye Bye 'Sposies!! I cannot tell you how excited I am to have them here! Recently Itti Bitti was introduced to the USA and have been selling like hot cakes ever since! I told you about Itti Bitti's a few weeks ago in another giveaway. I was so excited when Itti Bitti sent me their Bitti Tutto and Bitti D'Lish to review, I heard about how soft these diapers were and was dying to try them. I can definitely tell you they are amazingly soft and I were I could wear them, lol. Now you can try the Bitti Tutto and Bitti D'Lish also since they have donated them to the giveaway!

Last but certainly not least we have the Calgary Cloth Diaper Co giving away 4 Baby Kanga diapers! Calgary Cloth Diaper Co is of course based out of Canada and a mom owned business. Accidentally falling into cloth diaper in 2005 and then adopting modern cloth diapers, Krissy wanted to make an online boutique to promote excellent cloth diapers for everyone. Krissy also offers a Newborn Rental Kit at just $40 a month for about 21 diapers and a pail liner to keep your little newborn's tush soft! If you've never heard of Baby Kangas cloth diapers then I'm happy to tell you about them. They actually come with a zipper pouch in the front of the diaper where you stuff the insert into. Very new and cool idea to keep the insert clean and in place. Plus, once soiled, just unzip and shake into your pail to remove it!

--------------------------------------

For the grand prize package #2, what I've dubbed the Stash Builder package we have the following amazing sponsors!

Fluffy Rumps comes from a mom owned and operated business making her very own soakers and covers! Use FluffyRumps fleece soakers over a prefold or fitted as a cover, or over a PUL diaper for extra protection. They work like wool, but are easier to care for! She with her always free shipping, replace and refund policy you will be guaranteed to be satisfied. FluffyRumps are available in a variety of fun prints, and are made from fleece to provide awesome water resistant qualities in sizes Newborn - XXXL! Fluffy Rumps has donated 2 covers of your choice!

Guess who our next sponsor is, a great WAHM with a funny store name - Cow Patties Cloth. Megan's mission is to provide great cloth diapers that everyone can afford without losing out on quality. Cow Patties was founded in late 2007 when Megan starting sewing her own cloth diapers for her daughter and then began making diapers for friends. What's great about these diapers is that they are customized to your specific liking. There is a list of "In Stock" fabrics to choose from for your outer fabric or you can even ask for a special fabric not listed! Front snapping, side snaps, aplix, or no closure at all - it's all your choice. Check out the "New To Cloth Diapering" page for more info on the sizing, prices and how to customize your diaper!

Sweet Sparrow Designs is a cloth diaper manufacturer of quality cloth diapers for families who are interested in being eco-friendly. Their diapers are a convenient, and fashionable option to disposables. Sweet Sparrow Designs sells cloth diapers, wipes, and wet bags. You can choose from 9 bright colors for your outer PUL. All diapers are made with test ZORB insert which is extremely thirsty! Side snaps or front snaps, whatever you like you can have with these diapers. They look super cute and I'm bummed I didn't get to review one but once I convince the hubby I need more diapers then I really want to try these out! Sweet Sparrow Designs has donated 1 diaper, 1 wetbag and 1 set of reusable wipes!

Fluffy Bottom Babies is a Canadian store specializing in cloth diapers and accessories as well as natural detergents. They offer a large selection of time-tested brands of cloth diapers, so you can get all your cloth diaper shopping done in one place. No matter which cloth diaper system you choose, you can be certain that Fluffy Bottom Babies will be there to support you every step of the way.

I love that they have offered to giveaway a soft minky bamboo diaper, wetbag and baby leg warmers!

And again, last but certainly not least we have Pooters diapers donating to the grand prize stash package! Determined to live a more 'greener' lifestyle, a SAHM of 2 boys decided to stay cloth diapering. Once she began her journey she discovered that not only was cloth better for the environment but of course better on your baby's skin and your wallet.

Sponsor Spotlight - Pure Modern Baby

Cloth diapering is suppose to be a lot of things and for me, one of them is being fun. Our next sponsor thinks the exact same way and they wants to get the word out that cloth diapering is hip, fun and easy! Yes, EASY!

Cloth diapers have evolved beyond recognition – They are fresh, modern, and are just about as simple as disposables. Most people understand the benefits of cloth diapering (good for your baby, good for the earth, and great for your bank account!) but aren’t sure they can actually do it. Pure Modern Baby is on a mission to prove just how simple it is and help people take the leap.

They are a local business founded on the idea that being eco-conscious can be easy and hip at the same time. They offer some of the best cloth diapers on the market, and are committed to providing education and support along the way. They also carry baby wearing products and organic baby basics (onesies, sleepers, bibs, etc).

To help with all your burning questions Pure Modern Baby has made an All About Cloth page. It's very useful if you still aren't sure what kind of diapers are on the market and where you should start (or continue) this amazing journey.

You can also shop with confidence because PMB offers price matching! How awesome is that?! So not only is this a one stop shop because of the merchandise they carry but they make sure of it since you will be getting the lowest price you can find.

If you're not convinced of how amazing PMB is there's one more thing; they offer a cloth diaper trial package! They also keep it simple - Love it, keep it, if you don't want them just return them! I love that they offer a variety of cloth diaper trials so you can try brand new cloth diapers with absolutely no commitment to keep any or all of them. I think this is a great idea and the fact that they price their trail packages at $1 per day for 30 days is amazing! So are you just starting to cloth diaper or you want to try a new brand but aren't too sure? The packages Pure Modern Baby offers is definitely for you.

1 Winner will receive 2 AppleCheeks Mini Test Kits!!

Apple Cheeks Cloth Diaper Review & Giveaway

**CLOSED**

Next up on my cloth diaper adventures are Apple Cheeks! I've heard so many amazing things about these diapers that I had to try them for myself.

So far..? We love them!

I was sent a Little Bundle (which is cover and insert set), a pack of diaper liners, reusable wipes and cleansing spray.

Some people like the "fluffy" butt look... I do not. Instantly I loved how trim the diaper I received was. If you do not know, Apple Cheeks are made in Canada where they've been tested on the babies of the makers so you know they work and stand up to all the washing you may put them through.

The diaper I received come with a Rayon Bamboo insert and a Envelope Cover. Why do I love it so much? Because you can use it a few different ways! You can either place the insert on top and come diaper duty time simply change out the insert and continue to use the cover OR stuff the insert inside the pocket, which means these can be used as AI2's or pockets. You gotta love the versatility!

I'll let you read directly from the site to get a better idea!

All AppleCheeks™ cloth diapers and accessories are proudly designed and manufactured in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and have been tested on our own babies, so we know they work! Our diapers fit a larger range of babies than similar products on the market, and stand up better to the rigours of the washing cycle. They are fully customizable and can be used as a diaper cover over our viscose from bamboo inserts, with boosters for added absorbency if so desired, and fleece liners to keep baby’s skin dry and rash-free. Alternately, the handy, wide envelope opening allows you the option of placing your absorbency underneath the microfleece lining, wicking moisture away from baby’s skin and keeping him feeling nice and dry while still absorbing to the max! So many options in one diapering system!

AppleCheeks™ 2-Size Envelope Covers also fit nicely over a wide variety of fitted diapers. With the AppleCheeks™ system you will get less leaks and a much trimmer fit than with using fitted cloth diapers. 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!

So how does the diaper really hold up? AMAZING! It is extremely absorbent and fit so nicely around Kendall's chunky little legs!

The inner layer of the diaper is micro-fleece and it's incredibly soft and with elastic around the waist, also paired with the two rows of snaps gives you an adjustable, fit that's easy to do. An added plus is that I never saw those nasty red marks around Kendall's legs, so I know Kendall was never in pain while wearing this diap. AppleCheeks fits babies from birth to potty training and come in 2 sizes. Their size 1 fits from 7 - 20lbs, and size 2 fits from 18 - 40lbs!

I used the diaper as a pocket with the insert folded into thirds and I placed two disposable liners on top. Within a couple minutes Kendall went number 1 and I was surprised that the pee didn't leak through to the actual cover. Believe me, I was surprised because the disposable liners are extremely thin and my guess is that they were only there to catch the poo and protect the diaper. So yay, it stopped pee too!

Later in the day she finally leaked through the liners and the diaper was soaked. No leaks though! I didn't even realize I had to change her but since it had been a while I checked and that's when I discovered how wet she was. Through all that pee the diaper stayed just as trim and tight, it never looked saggy or anything.

If I could afford it I'd build my entire stash around these diapers 100%.

Each AppleCheeks Diap sells for around $19.80 USD

You can buy directly from the AppleCheek's online shop.
