    So Easy Being Green

    1. What is the name of your blog, and why did you choose it?
    So Easy Being Green - When I decided to cloth diaper my daughter, I thought it was a great chance to "go green" in other aspects of my life. My blog is about that and the Kermit the Frog quote immediately popped into my head, when I was thinking about a blog name. The funny thing is... it really IS so easy being green!

    2. What is your main purpose for blogging?
    I started my blog for personal reasons. I wanted to share more pictures of my daughter with family and friends. Then, I began to use the opportunity to try new products and offer eco-friendly giveaways to my readers.

    3. After blogging, what takes up the rest of your day?
    My rambunctious, now crawling, diva of a daughter, Miss Sophia!

    4. What are your top three favorite blog to reads?
    Marine Parents, of course!
    Stuff Parents Need
    A Year With Mom and Dad

    LilLuxe shopping site!!

    Have you heard of LilLuxe? Its a members only online shopping site (which is free to sign up). Their slogan, "Little People, Chic Deals." I stumbled across this online store a few weeks before Christmas as I was scavenging the Internet in search of some wooden toys on sale. At the time, LilLuxe had a toy sale on Melissa and Doug wooden toys. The deal??? 20% off, with free shipping (once you 'liked' them on Facebook.

    Here is what I bought (all of it was Melissa and Doug)

    First order:

    Multi Activity Table! Total cost of order: $79.99! How awesome. This table was our 'big' present for the boys this year. I had been searching around to find it the least expensive. Amazon had it for about $100.00 and right now, its at $122.37 at Amazon! So I only paid $79.99 for this table and saved a whole lot of money!

    1- Alphabet Nesting and Stacking Blocks

    1- Farm Cube Puzzle

    1- Shape Sorting Cube

    *This was my 2nd order, and the grand total for all 3 items was only $23.97 (free shipping)

    So then, the same day, I purchased another Shape Sorting Cube for my nephew. Why a separate order? Well, he lives in Oregon and so I had it sent directly to him with free shipping. Total cost of order: $8.79.

    I love LilLuxe. They post new sale items often and have some really great deals. That said, here is a bit of information regarding Liluxe:
    LilLuxe is a members-only site featuring fashionable, yet heavily discounted, apparel and merchandise for lil ones aged 0-7 years
    • Sales feature chic merchandise from high quality brands
    • Average savings is 50%
    • Sales events only last for a short period, and products are limited (so it is first come, first served)
    • Sales typically last a duration of 3-5 days
    • New sales will be introduced daily
    • Each day 2-3 new sales are added to the site
    • Members receive a daily email alerting them to the new sales for the day
    • New sales start each morning at 8:30 am PST
    LilLuxe sales events will have it all- clothes, shoes, blankets, toys, books, mom/dad merchandise and much more!
    • We ship to the US and Canada
    •Shipping is estimated at 10-14 business days for US
    •Shipping is estimated at 10-16 business days for Canada
    • Referral program is in place!
    • Invite a friend using your unique invite URL, if the friend’s first purchase totals over $25, you will receive a $15 credit in your account
    • Current promotion: Like LilLuxe on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Lilluxe) to receive a code for $10 off orders over $50.
    • Code is found in the tab “offer” on the LilLuxe Facebook page

    Here are a few things you will find on Liluxe starting today (Tuesday 11 Jan):
    Reema Accessories
    Agoo Apparel
    and much more!

    A customer service representative called me recently and asked about my shopping experience. One of the questions I was asked was what I would like to see sold by LilLuxe. Can you guess my answer? I said "CLOTH DIAPERS." So hopefully this remark was taken seriously and we will soon see some great deals on some Fuzzi Bunz (or other brand of cloth diapers)! Keep your eyes peeled!

    I encourage you to check it out.

    Happy Birthday Little One!! Go Green Pocket Diapers Review and GIVEAWAY!!

    My little guy turns ONE tomorrow!! Where does the time go?
    In honor of him reaching this milestone, I though we'd celebrate with a fluffy giveaway!!!
    Have you heard of GoGreen Pocket Diapers??? When I was given the opportunity to review this diaper, you know I quickly accepted :)
    I received the one size pocket diaper in Olive Juice. I really wanted to try a Fuzzy Camo diaper, but they were all sold out.
    This is a great diaper for the price. You can buy this diaper on Amazon for about $10.00 (plus $5.00 shipping) right now!! The diaper comes with two same-sized microfiber inserts.
    I tried this diaper on my youngest 18+ lb almost 1 year old boy! It worked great. We did not experience any leaks (although this diaper was used during the daytime and was not used for a 12 hr+ period at night)!
    This is what I received:
    Here is a pic of my little (almost 1 year old) in this cute diaper:
    For the money, this diaper is great! I highly recommend it.
    I am really looking forward to trying a hemp insert. In general I find that microfiber inserts do not hold as much urine as hemp and hope to be proven right.
    Want it??
    You can go to Gogreenpocket diapers to purchase your diaper, or you can win one here!
    Mandatory Entry:
    ♥ You must follow my blog publicly via Google Friend Connect (1 entry)
    Optional/Extra Entries:

    ♥ Grab my button! (1 entry) *be sure to leave a link in your comment as to where I can find it*
    ♥ Like GoGreen Pocket Diapers on FB (1 entry) and copy this note on their wall "Mama of the Littles sent me, thanks for the giveaway on her blog http://tiny.cc/5uzja" (1 entry)
    ♥ Become a fan of my FB page and leave a comment stating you are a fan. If you already are a fan, just state that you already are! Please include your facebook username in the comment! (1 entry)
    ♥ Subscribe to my blog via e-mail right sidebar *account must be activated* (2 entries)
    Follow GoGreen Pocket Diapers on Twitter (1 entry)
    Follow me on Twitter (1 entry)
    ♥ Tweet about this giveaway. Tweet the following: "I entered to #win a @gogreendiapers #clothdiapers from @oregongal1 and YOU can too! http://tiny.cc/5uzja #giveaway (18 Jan)" (can be tweeted once per day for 1 extra entry per day)! leave your status link and twitter id in comment

    ♥Giveaway will end on 18 January at midnight (EST). Winner will be chosen using random.org and will be notified by e-mail. The winner will also be posted on the blog. Winner will have 48 hours to contact me to claim their prize, or another winner will be chosen.


    Disclosure: I received the product mentioned above in exchange for this review, Thanks to Leah at GoGreen Pocket Diapers!
