Let's go swimming!! Applecheeks Washable Swim diaper review and #GIVEAWAY {US and Canada}

We recently moved to Tennessee! Yesterday the weather was about 75 degrees outside! Really nice! I was sure that today was going to be a really nice, warm balmy kinda day and I envisioned myself setting up the kiddy pool out back for my boys to play in! Boy was I wrong! Last night just before dinner time the sky turned black and the rain came down and thunder and lightning began!

This morning, the ground is wet, the wind is blowing and it's pretty darn cold outside!

Bummer! I know summer is on it's way and I just need to be patient. Why am I so anxious for summer you ask? Well, I have a brand spankin' new Applecheeks washable swim diaper in Mojito, size 2 to try out!

This is what I received:

 Back of the diaper:

I decided I was not going to wait on summer to show up, and I put this beautiful washable swim diaper to the test.... in the bath tub! I did, it fits my 2 yo perfectly! It is so easy to get a good fit with the two sizes available in these reusable swim diapers! The size 1 will fit a baby weighing approximately 7-20 lbs and the size 2 will fit a baby weighing approximately 18-40 lbs!

Here is a  bit more information on these awesome swim diapers (taken from the AppleCheeks website):

"Our diaper is the softest diaper on the market, and as we know you LOVE the styling of our Envelope Cover, we've translated the design to a product that really works!

Two layers of 100% polyester Canadian-milled mesh allows water to comfortably move through the diaper while keeping any solids, should they occur at an inopportune time, out of the pool. Our diaper is completely designed and manufactured right here in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, just like the rest of our AppleCheeks™ line.

And our signature two-size system with a snap at the waist and an separately adjustable snap at the thigh means your little one is guaranteed a comfortable, long-last fit. Size 1 fits approximately 7lbs - 20lbs and size 2 fits approximately 18lbs to 40lbs."

My son did not poop in this diaper (this time), but I did use an AppleCheeks on him last year and he pooped in it. We were not at the public pool, but the boys were playing out back in our little plastic pool. The poop was contained and the diaper did it's job!
Here are a few more pictures of this diaper:

The inside of the diaper:

Unfortunately for me (and you) my camera batteries were dead the night I put this diaper on my 2 yo in the bath, and for the last 3 days my boys have had a stomach virus and there is no way I'm risking getting diarrhea on this beauty!
So, I don't have any pictures to add to my review of the diaper on my son (sorry)! I really want to post this review for you guys now because the weather is turning warmer and summer is just around the corner. I know many of you are looking to purchase a reusable swim diaper and the AC swim diaper is an excellent choice.
They come in 3 beautiful colors:

Mojito

 Samoan Sunset

 Siesta Key

You can purchase this reusable swim diaper directly from the AppleCheeks website for 19.00 CAD!
Or, you can enter to win one here! AppleCheeks has generously offered one LWML reader the chance to win an AppleCheeks reusable swim diaper in winner's choice of size and color!

Sprig Toys Soarin' Sea Plane review and #GIVEAWAY {US only}

The weather is getting warmer, and summer is upon us. That means, fun outside for us! I have vowed to take my kids outside EVERY DAY for at least 20 minutes rain or shine! This is no problem for us in the summer time! My boys love the outdoors (that is why we so desperately need a fenced back yard on our new home)! If you have boys, you know what I mean... they love to explore!
I was searching the net one day looking for safe, non-toxic toys for my boys! At the time, I was searching I was looking for toys that were BPA-free and phthalate free for them to play with in the bath! I HATE the fact that most bath toys on the market today contain these harmful chemicals!
I contacted Sprig (Wham-O) and was sent the Soarin' Sea Plane for review!
This is what I received:

The Soarin' Sea Plane is made from 90% sprig wood, and 10% TPE!
My boys were so excited to receive this toy. They ripped the box open and started playing with it right away. That night they took it to the bath. It was a hit. Some people have said that this plane does not float, but it really does, well, when my boys were not sinking it to the bottom of the tub playing 'plane rescue.'

This is a great toy for bath, and also for outdoors. My boys have played with this plane outside in the dirt, mud and the grass. In fact for the first week we had it, my 4 yo insisted on taking it to bed with him every night!

You can purchase the Sprig Soarin' Sea Plane from Amazon for only $20.17 (with free shipping on orders over $25.00)!
Or you can enter to win it here!
Sprig has generously offered one of you the chance to win a Soarin' Sea Plane of your own!

Nellie's All-Natural Laundry Soda review and #GIVEAWAY {US and Canada}

Seems like the number one thing I do around here (besides take care of my littles), is laundry. Some days it is never ending. I can always use more laundry products, but am very careful in the ones I choose. They must be natural and free of harmful chemicals, oh and cloth diaper safe!
I was thrilled when I heard of Nellie's All-Natural Laundry Soda. I contacted Nellie's and in return was sent a 50-load bag of Nellie's soda! It arrived so quickly and, well since I had a pile of dirty clothes, I decided to try it out (after I took these pictures for this post):

I am really pleased with Nellie's soda. It really works great. I also love that it is very affordable (only $9.99 for a 50-lb load bag)! It is also all-natural, hypoallergenic, and residue free! It is also safe (and effective) for your #CLOTHDIAPERS! Oh, did I mention too that Nellie's soda is front loader compatible and HE certified??
Here is a bit more information about Nellie's Laundry soda (taken from Nellie's website):
"The scent of clean laundry you're used to may be caused by nasty chemicals (what's the deal with that?!). So why not discover the true smell of naturally clean clothes with Nellie's Laundry Soda? It's hypoallergenic, and leaves your clothes soft, fresh, and residue free. It's also super-duper concentrated, so only one tablespoon per wash is needed, even in large loads.***Ingredients: Sodium Silicate, Coconut oil based surfactants***"

This stuff really does the trick! I really love it!
Not only does Nellie's make all-natural laundry soda, but they also make dish nuggets, dryer balls, laundry nuggets, oxygen brightener, bamboo towels and wash cloths, bamboo hand towels and even bamboo robes!! You can view all of those products here! One thing I saw on their website that I really want to try is their PVC-free dryer balls, which can be used with their lavender fragrance sticks! How awesome would those be? I LOVE the smell of lavender and would like my clothes lightly scented when they come out of the dryer. I do use wool dryer balls, but have never bought any that are scented!
Nellie's blog is also choc-full of useful information regarding Nellie's products!

You can purchase Nellie's soda directly from Nellie's website for $9.99 for a 50-load bag, or Amazon has a 100-load tin on sale for only $17.80 (with free shipping on orders over $25.00)!
Also, according to Nellie's Facebook page, they are offering a buy-back on their 50-load bag of soda. If you buy one (for only $9.99) and do not LOVE it, they will buy it back from you! How awesome is that!??

If you are anything like me, you can never have TOO MUCH laundry detergent.

Red Charlotte Stuff Sack Review and $45 GC #GIVEAWAY {world-wide}

I am so excited to not only be bringing you a review and giveaway of a Beco Gemini Baby carrier, but along with it, a review of Red Charlotte's stuff sack (aka soft structured baby storage system, baby carrier bag)! I have worked with Red Charlotte in the past and was blessed to review her sucking pads that fit perfectly on my Ergo baby carrier.... you can read that review here! This time around I am thrilled to have the opportunity to review her very own, original "stuff sack."
What is a stuff sack you ask?
Well, it's a beautiful storage bag that is hand made to carry or store your soft structured carrier in (to include Ergo, Boba, Beco, Babyhawk, Kinderpack and more):

The Stuff Sack I received was the 'sparrows in lilac' print and I absolutely adore it!

This is what I received:

Ok, so let me now tell you that these are the new and improved stuff sacks. They have been revamped! How you may ask! Well the older version did not have these beautiful D-rings and a strap the allows you to comfortably carry your carrier wherever you may go!

The image above shows the carry strap that is not removable, but the one I received is remove able. You simply un-hook the straps from the stuff sack and you are good to go. This makes it ever so convenient to carry your soft structured carrier with you wherever you go! It is right there, for whenever you need it.
Not to mention it looks so tidy in your own home, as a storage place for your soft structured carrier.
(Confession time)!! This is where my Ergo and Beco are currently being stored:

Gasp!!

Here is the beautiful Beco Gemini in the stuff sack:

I cannot explain to you how absolutely beautiful this fabric and design is in person. I mean sure, you can read my review here an never really come to appreciate the work and dedication that goes into one of these! I can honestly say that Red Charlotte does not make 'junk' her items are high quality and are so well made!
The stuff sack comes with a toggle clasp closure, that is really easy to use (even for a mama that seems to always have her hands full)!

There is also a side-zipper that is perfect for a paci, cloth wipes, a spare diaper, or whatever you need to stuff in there!

I LOVE this stuff sack, and I know you will too!
You can purchase a stuff sack in various print options directly from Red Charlotte's Etsy site for about $39.95!
But wait, that's not all! Charlotte, of Red Charlotte has generously offered one of you the chance to win a $45 GC towards the purchase of anything in her shop! This giveaway is open WORLD-WIDE!!
