Win some dipaers!

We have been cloth diapering since Side Salad was 2 months old and we love it! It is so easy and it makes diaper changes-dare I say it?-fun! I have a varied stash and I rarely meet a diaper I don't like. I probably have close to fifty dipes, including prefolds. Here are the benefits to going cloth:

• less waste-no trashcans full of stinky dies going to the landfill. helps me sleep a little better at night knowing i do my part to take care of the planet
  
• possibly save money, but if you are like me, it's a full blown addiction and you don't save a red penny. but the upside is the booming resale market so at least you get a return
  
• no midnight diaper runs.
• no diaper rash
• super cuteness
• no poopy blowouts
  

There are some downsides. I can't think of any. Maybe the added load of laundry? That's all i can think of.

It's cloth diaper month and Andrea over at Momma in Flip Flops2 is giving away lots of diapers.

1. A diaper and line and cover from Motherease
   
2. A Baby Kicks hemp fitted from Diapers Etc

6. A Thirsties Fab Fitted and cover from Diaper Style
7. Not one, not two, but THREE Bumwear one size diaper from Bumwear

So mosey on over to my favorite blog that I didn't write and try to win! The contests start ending today...

My new wetbag! [stuff I like]

This is my new wetbag. It's black with a green butterfly pattern. Obviously, I did not take this picture because it looks good whereas my pictures suck. I really need a new camera.

I see the pattern as a compromise; green and black for Side Salad, butterflies for the Mommy. Anywho, I got it from SMJAE on Hyena Cart, which I heard about on Momma in FlipFlops2. Andrea always knows where the good stuff is . It was $12 bucks, far less than the twenty bucks or more everyone else seems to want to charge. And it's pretty roomy. There's a zipper at the top to keep messes in and everything. And Michelle ships super fast, which is always a plus for me. I needed a new wetbag like the day before yesterday LOL I really want another one, which is why I entered Andrea's giveaway on Momma in FlipFlops2. You should, too. Even if you don't win, Andrea's got a coupon code.

I am not telling what it is. You have to go find out yourself.

PANDA-monium!!!! [stuff I like]

I wont that giveaway I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. It was the one from Andrea of Mama in Flip Flops2 for a $25 gift certificate to Happy Panda, my new favorite baby brand. This stuff REALLY fits. Side Salad was over 9 pounds at birth and is growing like a weed. When I shop, I usually buy him size 12 months. He is 8 months old now. Anywho, HP is for cuties like him, but I would also suggest them for any cloth diapered baby because the pants are so roomy! The pants accommodate fluff in the trunk. Here is my happy little panda, before he crawled off:

Giveaway Alert! Time Two!!!

I love this giveaway so much that I didn't want to tell anyone about it. Andrea at Momma in FlipFlops2 is giving away 2 $25 gift certificates to Happy Panda. It's a store for babies that don't skinny dip; they chunky dunk, if you know what I mean.


As you can see, this giveaway was obviously tailored just for me. This is the onesie I want for Side Salad


So mosey on over and visit Andrea for your chance to win. Heck, she's giving away two-maybe both of us will win!

Also, win 20 freakin' pairs of BabyLegs!!!!
Win 20 Pairs of Baby Leg Warmers from babySNAZZ!
I heart BabyLegs. Side Salad already has:

Giveaway Alert!

I am a sucker for personalized things so I am loving this giveaway. It's for a monogrammed burp cloth set from Preppy Monogrammed Gifts (hereafter know as PMG).

I love PMG and I am so happy that Momville found them for me. I plan on ordering a bracelet so I can be the envy of my fellow KDEs.

Maybe they'll post a coupon code....

Anywho, giveaway is at http://nowenteringmomville.blogspot.com/2008/10/preppy-monogrammed-gifts-giveaway.html

Baby Wearing

Yes, my son is spoiled.

His father and I spoiled him.

That is, if you mean my baby doesn't get to cry much and is held a lot. Then by all means, the Side Salad is spoiled ROTTEN.


I am a slightly attached parent and I wear him a lot. I've been AP since before it was cool. I wore the Astronaut in a Snuggli and allowed him to sleep with me. Little T has it even better-he rides around in a cool camo Lucky-Baby sling http://www.lucky-baby.com/p_home.asp . It's a pouch and it's in the Noah pattern. I have an Oliver, too, but I misplaced it. Here he is in the Lucky-Baby. Please disregard the high chair, artwork, and other general clutter.














And a better pic from Lucky-Baby. They are really cute and priced wonderfully!

Why Didn't I Think of This?

Have you ever been out with your baby or toddler and the kid pukes or has a leaky diaper or eats messily? Their clothes are now dirty and you don't have a change of clothes. What do you do: go home or walk around with a grungy kid?

Enter babysparewear:

These are little quick change outfits that come in a zippered bag. For babies, you get two onesies and pants; for toddlers, a shirt and pants. They come in both short sleeves and long, and there are lots of colors. Check them out here: http://www.babysparewear.com/index.shtml



What could be better. This: Katydid & Kid is giving away a $25 gift certificate to them. You can enter at http://katydidandkid.blogspot.com/2008/09/giveaway-babysparewear.html
