BumGenius 4.0 Artist Series/Cloth Wipes Review and Giveaway from Happy Baby Co.
Let me tell you a little bit about this company! Happy Baby Company is located in Pittsburgh, PA and run and owned by Adam and his wife Lilli! They have recently just welcomed a new baby into their lives! More information about how this company came to be can be found HERE!!
Happy Baby Company has graciously given me a brand new BumGenius Artist Series 4.0 in Retail Therapy, and package of Quilter's Nappies flannel/velour cloth wipes to review! They have also generously offered one of each for a giveaway! So for this giveaway, there will be 2 winners. One for the BumGenius brand new print in Free Spirit and one for a package of gender neutral cloth flannel/velour wipes! Wait, that's not all. Happy Baby Company has also offered a one time use per household discount code for LWML readers! From now until 15 November, you can get 10% off your total purchase at Happy Baby Company with the code "mylittles" at checkout! This is an awesome deal when you consider shipping is FREE! Are you excited? I sure am! I may just have to do some more shopping with them!
Diaper Review:Many of you seasoned cloth diapering parents are probably familiar with BumGenius diapers! If you are not, then let me tell you a little bit about them.
Features:
♥ NEW! Durable snap closures help keep diapers on older babies.
♥ NEW! Generous sizing accommodates larger babies.
♥ NEW! Easily replaceable elastic keeps your diapers fresh.
♥ 3x3 snap down design* adjusts the sizing to fit small, medium and large sizes (approximately 7-35+ pounds).
♥ Trim, snug and comfortable stretchy tabs* provide a custom fit.
♥ Waterproof insert stopper* prevents leaking at the tummy.
♥ Diapers are bundled with two inserts: a newborn insert for newborns and a one-size insert for your older baby.
♥ Wide slot opening makes it easy to stuff and remove insert.
♥ Slot cover* protects your baby from wetness.
♥ All bumGenius One-Size Cloth Diapers include a small, lightweight insert for newborns and a larger one-size insert for your growing baby. When your baby outgrows the newborn insert, it works as an overnight booster or as extra absorbency for heavy wetters. More information about BumGenius cloth diapers can be found on their website HERE!
I would have to say that BumGenius 4.0 one size Diaper are among my favorite diapers! They are so soft and easy to use, they wash well, and they fit both my boys perfectly!
A BumGenius 4.0 diaper comes with two inserts, a newborn, and a one-size! I put the snaps on the middle setting and used the smaller insert and tried this diaper on my almost 10 month old, 16 lb son! (I swear it looks like he was posing for the picture)!
I received a 4-pack of Quilter's Nappies Cloth Wipes in Flannel/velour! These cloth wipes are awesome, first and foremost because they are made by a WAHM!! (Work at home mom)!! They are super soft, and very well made. These are not some cheaply made item, but are a fine quality item and are sold at a reasonable price (only $6.95 for a 4-pk. of flannel/velour and $7.95 for a 4-pk. of flannel/sherpa)! Each wipe measures 8"x 8"
Are these wipes not the cutest thing you've seen? I absolutely LOVE them!Honestly I think these could be used for just about anything you wanted to use them for. I think they would make great bath rags, and they are so soft, they would make nice clean-up wipes to wipe the faces of your littles!
Are you hooked? Do you want to get your hands on one of these brand new artist series BumGenius print dipes? Are you in love with the cuteness of these awesome cloth wipes?
I know you are!! You can buy these items HERE (use the code and get 10% off, and FREE shipping), or enter to win here on my blog!

~Thought For Thursday~
Its been a long time since I've actually written a post!! Been too busy concentrating on all the fun with the giveaways! (Hope you all are enjoying them)!
Wanted to write today about cancer! I know! Its a scary word! November 5th marks the day that my father left this earth to be with Jesus, 2 years ago! He had pancreatic cancer! As the date nears me, I find myself thinking about him more and more! I miss him! I would give anything to hug him one more time! I have plenty of pictures and plenty of videos (most that I have not watched yet), but its not the same as him still being here. He was the one I called when I was searching for wisdom and advice. He was the one who always got us motivated to just drop what we were doing and go on a spur of the moment camping trip! I miss those days! Tears well up in my eyes even as I sit and type this out!
We can never go back in time! We hold dear to our memories, and cherish our past! This makes me even more driven and focused on living today, and loving those around us! Lets not take for granted the people that are still here, walking among us. Those we love and adore!
Halloween 2 years ago, we took a family photo on my parent's front porch. It was the last family photo ever taken. Halloween was the last 'holiday' my family ever spent together, as a whole....
It was a sad time for us all. We knew that he was going to pass away!
This picture was taken shortly before my dad passed away. Though he had cancer and knew he was going to die, he was so full of love, compassion, kindness and caring for us! Right up to the last moment. All 4 of us kids (and spouses), and my mom were all by his bedside (he had left the hospital and hospice to come home to spend the rest of his time close to those he loved). He kept assuring us that it was all going to be all right. This is one of my favorite pictures of he and I:
My dad was a faithful believer in Christ! He knew that earth was not his final destination and was convinced that he would be in the presence of Jesus before long! His legacy lives on in each of us... those that knew him!
I love you Dadzola!
All this reminiscing got me wondering how many of you, my faithful blog followers have been affected by cancer? Are any of you cancer survivors? I would love to hear your stories. Please post your comments below!

Rockin Green Pail Freshener Review and GIVEAWAY!!
A Few Shakes is all it Takes!!
I love Rockin Green laundry soap so much I decided to try their Pail Freshener! I bought a jar off Amazon for $10.95 (with free shipping through Amazon Mom) in Lavender Mint Revival scent (because it smells so yummy)!
It comes in a little plastic shaker, kind of like a large spice jar! I had an almost full bag of stinky diapers so I used a few shakes and the smell instantly went away. It didn't stop there. I re-opened the stinky diaper bag and could hardly notice the poopy smell! I am in love (again)! This time, with my Rockin Green Pail Freshener!
I think the motto for the Pail Freshener should be "A few shakes is all it takes." This stuff is totally awesome and will keep all stinkies at bay! The best part is, all you do is shake it in your pail/wet/dry bag and then launder in Rockin Green soap as usual! Dare I say its so easy a caveman can do it!
Have you tried the Pail Freshener yet? Here is your chance. Kim, at Rockin Green has agreed to give 2 bottles away to 2 of my very lucky followers!

Ruby Moon Cloth Diaper Detergent Review and $10.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway!
Have you ever heard of Ruby Moon Natural Laundry Wash? If you are a cloth diapering Momma (or Dad) then you probably have! Ruby Moon Natural Laundry Wash was born when Lyndsay had her first baby. She says she fell in love with two things when her baby was born... her daughter, and cloth diapers. Lyndsay's daughter suffered from eczema, so Lyndsay went on a mission to find a detergent that was safe for cloth, environmentally friendly, and most of all, safe for her baby!! After trying several kinds, and being disappointed time and time again, she started mixing her own batches of laundry detergent, and this is how Ruby Moon was born.I received a sample bag of Ruby Moon Natural Laundry Wash in Sweet Clementine scent for review. Ruby Moon detergent also comes in other scents such as Lavender, Cucumber Melon, Unscented, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Coconut Lemongrass, and Cotton Blossom! Yum! When I first opened the bag, I noticed how lush it smelled. Not too strong, but just perfect! I tried it on my cloth diapers and they came out smelling very clean and fresh! I would highly recommend this detergent to all you cloth diapering Momma's out there! It works great, and is very affordable!
It's awesome. But, the awesomeness does not stop there. Besides the natural detergents, Ruby Moon also carries Pail Powder, cloth wipes, wipe bits, wool wash, and wool dryer balls (which I have been dying to try)!
Are you excited? You can buy any of these great items from Ruby Moon's on-line store. Lyndsay has generously offered one lucky LWML fan a $10.00 gift certificate to be used towards the purchase of anything in her Online Store!!

Ergo Baby Carrier Review and GIVEAWAY!!
I’m in ♥Love♥ (again)!!
Yes, I love my husband (dearly) and clearly my two Littles, but there is new spark in my heart. For what you may ask… my Ergo Baby Carrier! I absolutely LOVE it!
I bought an Ergo carrier from Diapers.com the other week. This is the one I chose! I paid $135.00 (with free shipping) and let me tell you, it was worth every penny! I had been the proud owner of a Baby Bjorn for almost 3 years but found that it just was not what I needed anymore. The Baby Bjorn is suitable for an 8 lb-24lb baby, and I found myself desiring a carrier that would go the extra mile, and grow with my boys! The Ergo Carrier does just that! The Ergo is designed for babies from infancy (with additional infant insert) up to 40 lbs!! Amazing right? I thought so! I loved the idea that you can carry your baby in three different positions with the Ergo. You can carry your baby on your back:
Or you can carry your baby on the front, (known in the Ergo world as Heart to Heart)!!
And then there is the hip carry!
(I have not tried the hip carry as of yet, but suddenly have the urge to)!
What are the features of the Ergo organic Baby Carrier?
• Ergonomic design
• 100% organic cotton twill with 100% organic cotton sateen lining and hood
• 100% cotton organic batting in body of carrier to soften edges
• One inch, high density foam in shoulder straps
• Quarter inch high density neoprene foam in waist belt
• High Quality buckles tested by SGS
• Waist belt circumference from 25" to 43"
• Fits from 5' to 6.5' body height with adjustable shoulder and chest straps
• Sleeping hood with elastic, adjusts in length for growth of baby
• High quality webbing, matched to carrier color
• Reinforced stitching used at all fabric intersections
• Interior rip-stop reinforcements at critical intersections
• Durability/strength tested up to 90 pounds
• Machine washable - cold, gentle cycles, mild detergent, no bleach. Dry in low heat.
When I received my Ergo, I anxiously opened the box and the first thing I noticed was how soft the fabric was, and how beautiful the design! It was perfect!!! I couldn’t wait to try it out! Unfortunately it arrived during nap time, and both my Littles were asleep! I was tempted on waking them (or one) but decided it best to put a happy, well rested baby in the carrier as opposed to a cranky baby!
After nap time, I put my (then) 8 month old 14 lb son in it riding in the front position. It was great. We walked across the street to the park with my 2 year old son in tow. Not a peep from my youngest. He simply looked all around, taking in the beauty of God’s creation. It was great. I could freely move, bend down and help my eldest climb at the park without feeling awkward! Then we went to get our pumpkins. I thought it a great opportunity for a photo shoot, and to test the ease of loading and unloading my 2 year old from the car, whilst wearing my youngest! This proved to be a simple task, with no hassles!
Yes, I love my husband (dearly) and clearly my two Littles, but there is new spark in my heart. For what you may ask… my Ergo Baby Carrier! I absolutely LOVE it!

I had been the proud owner of a Baby Bjorn for almost 3 years but found that it just was not what I needed anymore. The Baby Bjorn is suitable for an 8 lb-24lb baby, and I found myself desiring a carrier that would go the extra mile, and grow with my boys! The Ergo Carrier does just that! The Ergo is designed for babies from infancy (with additional infant insert) up to 40 lbs!! Amazing right? I thought so! I loved the idea that you can carry your baby in three different positions with the Ergo. You can carry your baby on your back:
Or you can carry your baby on the front, (known in the Ergo world as Heart to Heart)!!
And then there is the hip carry!
(I have not tried the hip carry as of yet, but suddenly have the urge to)!What are the features of the Ergo organic Baby Carrier?
• Ergonomic design
• 100% organic cotton twill with 100% organic cotton sateen lining and hood
• 100% cotton organic batting in body of carrier to soften edges
• One inch, high density foam in shoulder straps
• Quarter inch high density neoprene foam in waist belt
• High Quality buckles tested by SGS
• Waist belt circumference from 25" to 43"
• Fits from 5' to 6.5' body height with adjustable shoulder and chest straps
• Sleeping hood with elastic, adjusts in length for growth of baby
• High quality webbing, matched to carrier color
• Reinforced stitching used at all fabric intersections
• Interior rip-stop reinforcements at critical intersections
• Durability/strength tested up to 90 pounds
• Machine washable - cold, gentle cycles, mild detergent, no bleach. Dry in low heat.
When I received my Ergo, I anxiously opened the box and the first thing I noticed was how soft the fabric was, and how beautiful the design! It was perfect!!! I couldn’t wait to try it out! Unfortunately it arrived during nap time, and both my Littles were asleep! I was tempted on waking them (or one) but decided it best to put a happy, well rested baby in the carrier as opposed to a cranky baby!
After nap time, I put my (then) 8 month old 14 lb son in it riding in the front position. It was great. We walked across the street to the park with my 2 year old son in tow. Not a peep from my youngest. He simply looked all around, taking in the beauty of God’s creation. It was great. I could freely move, bend down and help my eldest climb at the park without feeling awkward! Then we went to get our pumpkins. I thought it a great opportunity for a photo shoot, and to test the ease of loading and unloading my 2 year old from the car, whilst wearing my youngest! This proved to be a simple task, with no hassles!
The real test was carrying my 30 lb 2 year old. So, today I took him out back and (with my husband’s help) put him in the carrier on my back!
He had a great time. He loved looking at things from a different view, and was very comfortable riding in the Ergo. But after a little while he was ready to get down and ‘go exploring.’ This is typical for any 2 year old. He is discovering his independence, and prefers to walk whenever the opportunity arises!
I found it sort of tricky to buckle the clasp that is located near the shoulder blades at first. But after a few times practicing (and a few good stretches) I found it easy, and comfortable to put my youngest son in the Ergo (Heart to Heart carry position) with ease!
The Ergo baby carrier also makes a “Performance Carrier” and a “Sport Carrier.” You can read more information about the designer of the Ergo, and background information on the company HERE!
Are you with me? Do you love the Ergo Baby Carrier? If so, you can buy one by clicking on the Ergo picture at the top right of my blog! Or, (wait for it)… you can Win It!! Ergo Baby has agreed to give (yes, I said give) one very lucky Life With My Littles reader an Ergo Baby Carrier of his/her choice (*depending on availability)!

Thought for Thursday keeping your family healthy
What is the first thing you reach for when your littles get a cold, or the flu?
Fall weather is here, and you know what that means...the cold/flu season is just around the corner.
What preventative measures do you take to keep your littles from getting sick?
I use homeopathic remedies for myself and the littles! I just received a shipment of Borion products and I LOVE them!
This is what I received:
Children's Oscillococcinum (flu)
Children's Chestal
Children's Coldcalm Pellets
I am offering a few of these products in giveaway, so you will want to head over to HERE to enter.
My advice for prevention is to simply bundle up your littles and get them out and about in the fresh air. For yourself, you can take a daily vitamin, extra doses of vitamin C and Echinacea work well for keeping a cold at bay!
Hope you all have a fun, and healthy fall season!
Hot Cocoa anyone??

*CLOSED*Rockin Green Review and Giveaway!
I am a cloth diapering Mama with 2 boys in diapers, so when I was given the chance to try our Rockin’ Green Laundry detergent, I was really excited. I had heard some really awesome things about Rockin’ Green, and some even claimed it worked miracles!
Rockin' Green detergent comes in three formulas; soft, classic and hard rock. It also comes in a variety of scents:
•Orangevana - orange and cream combine together to reach a new level of cleaning awareness
•Smashing Watermelons- this juicy watermelon blend is like a kick to your senses.
•The Green Tea's - the zen like blend of green tea and aloe, is sure to make it to the top of your playlist.
•Rage against the Raspberry- this raspberry and honey blend will have you running around the laundry room looking for the mosh pit!
•Mötley Cleän - there's clean and then there's Mötley Cleän. This fresh blend has hints of ocean, fresh linen, and sunshine.
•Lavender Mint Revival- this medley of lavender and mint is like nothing you have heard or smelled before!
•Bare Naked Babies- because we love the smell of babies, we offer an unscented variety too!
I received 3 sample packets of Rockin’ Green in the mail in classic rock formula, 2 The Plain Green Tea’s and one Lavender Mint Revival scents. Each packet was enough for 2 loads of laundry, since I have a top loading machine. You can read about the differences in machines and use of detergent HERE. How did I know which formula you ask? There is a handy little map on the Rockin' Green website that will help you determine which formula will work best for you! There is also a lot of really helpful information on thier FAQ page!
Since this detergent had received such raving reviews I wanted to really put this detergent to the test. So I searched the house and found the most dirty thing I could find. This was not hard, since I had just received a Jumperoo from Freecycle the day before, which was absolutley filthy! So I decided to Rock a Soak! Have I lost you? Are you sitting there scratching your head and wondering what the heck “Rock a Soak” means? Well, since you asked ;) HERE is a great video that tells you exactly that! Impressed? I was! So here is what the Jumperoo looked like when I first placed it into the bucket of hot water with the Rockin’ green…
This is what it looked like after only 3 hours!
Can you see the difference? I know, right, I was amazed too!
Oh, and the detergent, it smelled so good! I am not one for overly powerful smells, but these detergents smelled awesome, and they are not some artificial fragrance, but instead are all-natural. More info on the ingredients can be found HERE. I was a bit worried though that my diapers would come out smelling like a lavender field, but they didn’t. That is one reason I washed the Jumperoo cover first, in case there was a strong remaining smell, I didn’t want my precious cloth diapers to be damaged, or overly smelly! After using Rockin’ Green, the only smell left behind was the smell of clean!
After using it on the Jumperoo, I washed a load of Fuzzi Bunz. I did not rock the soak, but just washed them normally (as my diapers were not stained, and did not have any residual build up). My diapers came out smelling so clean and fresh! I hung them to dry, and when they were dry, they felt as soft as they did when I first bought them!
I am thoroughly impressed with Rockin' Green detergent! In fact, I will go so far as to state I LOVE Rockin’ Green!
Are you convinced? Wanna try it?
You can Buy it. You can purchase Rockin' Green detergent and loads of other awesome rockin' things, like a pail freshner, laundry scoop, dryer balls, diaper sprayer and even skin care HERE.
Win it. Rockin' Green has generously agreed to give one lucky "Life With My Littles" reader a 45/90 load bag of detergent in your choice of scent/formula!
Excited yet? I am!!

Thought for Thursday
This week I have been thinking about family! We welcomed a family member home this week. He had been living in another state for 12 years. I personally hadn't seen him in over 3 years. It was nice to welcome him back home. His homecoming was filled with love and support. It reminded me of the story of the Prodigal's son from the Bible.
I've been thinking about family a lot lately. Perhaps because its coming up on the 2 year mark of my father passing away, or because the holidays are approaching, I'm not really sure. I do know though that for me, family is what its all about. God first, family second, period.
I am happy that my mom will be flying out here from Oregon in November to spend Thanksgiving with us. I already bought her ticket!
What are your thoughts on family?
Is there something in particular that you do as a family over the holidays? Please share!

*CLOSED*Smartypants Gummy Vitamins Review and EcoMom $15.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway (14 October)!!
Proper nutrition is of great concern for me. I want to make sure my family is eating nutritious foods and getting all the important vitamins and minerals their bodies need. So you can imagine how excited I was when I was given the chance to try Smartypants Gummy vitamins! I recently received a package of 120 Smartypants gummy vitamins from Ecomom to try. I am a huge fan of Ecomom. Their site focuses on eco friendly and organic products for the whole family. They carry a wide variety of products, to include organic baby food, items just for mom, feeding and nursing, bath and body care items, health and wellness, toys and books and even clothing! You can learn more about Ecomom by checking out their website, HERE.
Smartypants gummy vitamins are an All-in-One multivitamins for children ages 3 and up. One single serving size consists of 4 gummies.
I gave these vitamins to my son Aaron, and he LOVED them. I had no problems getting him to eat all 4 gummies.
Pros:
*My son LOVED them and he wanted more.
*I like that these vitamins are eco-friendly, with non-tuna sourced DHA Omega 3’s.
*They are gluten and casein free.
*Smartypants contain no high fructose corn syrup and are made with natural flavors and colors from natural sources.
*Smartypants meet 100% of the US RDI of vitamin D and includes 13 other nutrients.
Cons:
*I personally prefer to give my son a one-time dose of vitamins, to give him 4 at a time to equal 1 full serving to me was a bit challenging (though he didn’t seem to mind).
*One serving (4 gummies) contains 5 grams of sugar. I try to steer clear of added sugar in my kids’ diet. Although 5 grams is not too much, it is still extra sugar!
I think these vitamins would be perfect for a child that has a hard time taking any other vitamin/supplement form. My son considered these vitamins as ‘candy’ and I think that is why he liked to eat them. So if you need a vitamin that comes from natural ingredients that your kids will love, look no further!
To learn more about Smartypants multivitamins, simply go to their website, http://www.wearesmartypants.com/
Giveaway: (open to USA and Canada)
One lucky person will win a $15.00 gift certificate to be used at Ecomom on whatever you like!
Ecomom also has a great new program called EcoPass. This program allows you to purchase a $99 dollar annual membership to Ecomom, which provides for a 15% discount on every order, as well as free shipping with no $50 dollar minimum requirement. EcoPass pays for itself in as few as 4 orders and costs only $8.25 per month!
In addition to the giveaway, Ecomom has generously offered a promotional code that can be used to take 15% off your first order placed at Ecomom. Just enter SBBL596 at checkout. This code expires on October 31st. So what are you waiting for, hop on over to Ecomom and see what great deals you can find!
