#CLOTHDIAPERS #GIVEAWAY TIME!! {US and Canada}

It's Contest Time!!!!

Many of you know I'm expecting baby #3 in April of 2013 and to welcome this little one, I'm planning a HUGE cloth diaper/virtual baby shower event for May, 2013!
For right now, I am entering a contest to try and win 24 diapers to start a new stash for this little one and I NEED your help! I am self-sponsoring two giveaways for your help in this contest. These two items will be given away to two of you that choose to participate regardless if I win or not!
I am offering a $20 GC to Jack be Natural (which offers free US shipping) and also a BG 4.0 cloth diaper in winner's choice of green or white (both have snap closure)!
But wait, that's not all! If I win the 24 diapers, I will randomly select 5 of you that helped me win (details on what to do below) and will give away 5 of the 24 diapers I win! From what I understand the 24 diaper prize is made up of all different brands, colors and all are one size diapers!
Sound good? I thought so! Ok, who is ready to help me win?

Once you have left a comment on Youtube under the video, simply claim your entry on the Rafflecopter form on this post *be sure to include your Youtube username on the Rafflecopter form so I can verify your entry*

But wait, there is more! If you comment I will give you one extra entry into all my upcoming newborn event giveaways that will take place in 2013!

Before I get into the winner's list, I want to tell you all that I am entering a voting/comment contest which will be held on Youtube! The prize? A whole stash of diapers (24 to be exact)!

Also, I'll be giving away a diaper (of my choice) and IF I win the contest, I'll give away 5 of the diapers won in the stash to 5 of you that comment!

A little glimpse into my world :)

Hey all, wanted to write up a quick post tonight to let you all know that I'm still here! My husband deployed yesterday for a 9 month tour to Afghanistan! I'm due with baby # 3 in April and I live in a state (thanks to the Army) where I have no family and very few friends. That being said, I try to keep busy! Blogging is a time consuming task and so are my littles! At this time I have had to put my family and my health first. The boys are really struggling with daddy being gone and they don't quite comprehend the whole picture, they just know that he's not here and they don't know why!

So, I do still need to draw my 19 winners for the Flufftastic Summer Celebration event that ended a few days ago! I plan to do this tomorrow. My original goal was to do it today but naptime at my house this afternoon was a #hugefail! So, that being said, my 4 yo has preschool tomorrow and my 2 yo will (fingers crossed) nap for an hour or two for me tomorrow!
So for you stalkers out there, tomorrow (Wednesday) is the day to stalk your inbox and my FB page for the reveal of the winners!

Other news, I'm planning a newborn event to celebrate the birth of my 3rd child! This event will be held in May sometime (depending on when s/he makes his/her appearance)!
There are over 13 confirmed sponsors and some FABULOUS prized to be won. I'll also be featuring a new product for a few companies, so you don't want to miss it!

There are still a few active giveaways on the blog right now, so go ahead and enter away!

Both of these end 29 August!

2 Winner giveaway 1-Fuzzi Bunz Elite cloth diaper and 1-$20 GC to Petite Bottoms (29 Aug) {US and Canada}

$50 GC to Jacob's Room (29 Aug) *Melissa and Doug toys, puzzles, trains, train tables, KidKraft tables, chairs, desks* {US}

There is also a giveaway up for an iPlay babywear raincoat and undies (two winners, one will win the undies, the other the raincoat)! {ends 6 Sept open to US and Canada}
Thanks for your patience and understanding with me! Thanks to for all your prayers and comments of encouragement regarding my husband's deployment. This is our 6th one and it does not get any easier!

~Mama of the Littles~

Current Giveaways and some other news!

Hey all, Happy Saturday! The Flufftastic Summer Celebration has come to an end!
I will be drawing winners early next week (Tuesday or Monday night if I have the energy)!
Hubby Deploys Monday to Afghanistan, so prayers for his safety are appreciated!
Wanted to just take a few moments and welcome all the new blog readers here! This blog has grown quite a bit since the Flufftastic Summer Celebration event! Welcome everyone! For those of you that have been here awhile, thanks for sticking around :)

Here are some current giveaways on the blog!

Both of these end 29 August!

I'm seeking out sponsors for this event and am happy to say that so far, there are 16 confirmed sponsors so far! If you are a blogger and would like exposure to your blog, or a business and sell items relating to pregnancy, newborn items, cloth diapers and accessories, nursing items and postpartum items and would like to sponsor, please e-mail me angela_heffner at yahoo dot com

I LOVE you gals (guys) and a few winners!

I just wanted to say how much I LOVE being able to bring all these awesome giveaways to you all! Many of you know that having a blog and doing product reviews and giveaways is very time consuming.
I do love it though when you all take the time to help me out, and pay it forward.
Awhile back I asked for your votes for a breastfeeding photo contest! There was one picture that had about twice as many votes as mine: (it's a beautiful breastfeeding picture):

This was the winning photo of all the submissions received.
A day after the contest, I received a phone call from Connect One (the company running the contest) and was told that the owner of the winning photo (above) lived outside of the United States and so they could not receive the grand prize. Much to my surprise, I was the second in line to win the camera!
I won a Fugi digital camera (not sure of all the perks as it has not come in the mail yet) but am so excited and thankful to each one of you for voting!
As many of you know, my husband (who has been in the Army for 19 years) is deploying to Afghanistan in just 3 days! I am going to give this camera to him so he can take pictures while he is there! Your prayers for his safety (and my sanity) over the next 9 months is appreciated!

Thanks again for all your support!

A couple other things! Today (24 Aug) is the last day to enter the "Flufftastic Summer Celebration" event! I am offering over $600 worth of fluffy prizes! You can find a list of prizes here!

Also, I'm expecting little #3 in April!
I've already started planning a newborn type of event! I admit I've never cloth diapered a newborn before and am planning to do so with this little one!
The event will be held sometime in April or May 2013! I am happy to say that so far, there are 15 confirmed sponsors for this event! I'm super excited!
If you are a blogger or business owner and would like some more exposure to your business/blog and more traffic to your FB, Twitter etc. sponsoring the event would be a great way to do that. Just shoot me an e-mail angela_heffner at yahoo dot com

ABC With Jinxie APP winners!
Congrats to Dawn S and LaTanya T. You have both been e-mailed and have 48 hours to respond to claim your codes!

I am truly thankful for each one of you and thanks for being a LWML reader!

iPlay Babywear Raincoat and undies review and #GIVEAWAY 2 Winners {US and Canada}

Summer is almost over, and that means the kids are starting back to school and fall will be here soon. I love fall! I love sweaters, hot tea, rain and the changing color of the leaves that surround me!
I was thrilled to be able to review an iPlay Babywear mid weight Raincoat in Blue Whales and 3-pack of Green Sprouts boy undies for my littles!
This is what I received:

The raincoat I received is a size 3t/4t and will fit a toddler from 30-44 lbs.
The Green Sprouts undies I received are a size 2-3 and will fit a toddler from 25-38 lbs!
I LOVE the fact that the raincoat is PVC free! It is so cute too!

The undies fit my 2 yo perfectly! They were great too because we are working on potty training and he wears them all around the house while we are home!

The raincoat fits my 4 yo perfectly too! It's a bit big on my 2 yo but I am confident will fit him later on. Right now, my 4 yo wears it all the time, rain or shine!
Now all I need is a couple pair of rain boots and we are good to go!
You can purchase the raincoat from iPlay Babywear for $40.00 and the 3-pack of undies can be purchased for $14.00!

Do you need a new raincoat or undies for your little one? Well, here is your chance to win!
iPlay/Green Sprouts has graciously offered two LWML readers the chance to win either a 3-pack of undies or a raincoat in winner's choice of color/print and size! Two winners!!

This giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents!

To enter, simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below! You may have to click "read more" in order for the whole Rafflecopter form to load!

Good luck and Have fun!

Eco-Friendly Swim Suits for Mama?? Yes Please!! Eco Swim swimsuit by Aqua Green Review and #GIVEAWAY {world-wide}

I love summertime! I LOVE BBQ's long summer nights, spending time with family and friends and also all things water! I grew up on the west coast where I was only an hour and a half from the beautiful beach and 2 hours drive from Mt. Hood! I really miss the ocean. The last time I went to the ocean was about 2 years ago we went to Ocean City NJ! It was nice, the water was awesome, but it was very touristy (if that's a word)! I personally like the more quiet, secluded beaches. I love to take my boys to the pool and water parks now that it's hot out! They are my little water babies and I LOVE it! Totally fearless of the water, but respectful at the same time.

So I've had the same swimsuit for the last 3 years (I know, lame huh)? I bought it right after I had my first son and so needless to say, a new swimsuit was way over due. Being that I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint in every area of our lives, I decided purchasing a new swimsuit was not different!
Then I heard about Eco Swim by Aqua Green swimsuits! You see, Eco Swim is unlike any other swimsuit you may find. Why? Well, because each suit is made from recycled material, making this swimsuit the most sustainably responsible on the market. Eco Swimsuits don't just have an eco-friendly brand name, but the company also takes steps to reduce the carbon footprints that are damaging our earth.
Eco swim frequently participates in beach clean-ups, and is a member of the Oceanic Society whose primary mission is to protect endangered wildlife and preserve threatened marine habitats worldwide. The society is known for exploring and protecting the natural world. Proceeds from their dolphin adoption program in which Eco Swim participates go to research equipment and dolphin protection. Dolphins are in the waters of the Bahamas and are the subjects of a long term, non-invasive research project started in 1988!
On 9 June, 2012 Eco Swim Teamed up with Dillards and removed 276 lbs of trash from Ben T. Davis Beach in Tampa, FL!

Not only is Eco Swim by Aqua Green an amazingly eco-friendly company that not only walks the walk and are not all talk, like some 'eco-friendly' companies you find out there, but their suits are ROCKIN!
Here are some of the swimsuits you will find at Eco Swim:

I was sent the shirred tankini top and ruffle hipster bottom in black for my review!
This is what I received:

Front:

Back:

The cups are lightly lined (you can go here to see what materials are recycled to make up their beautiful suits)!
This is me in my Eco Swim suit! Dunno why I'm not smiling! :/

You can purchase the same suit I received directly from Eco Swim! The top retails for $69.00 and the bottoms for $58.00!
Oh, and did I mention that these lovely suits are all made in the USA!!
Sustainable, sexy, affordable, comfortable, pure awesomeness!
What about you, when was the last time you bought a new swimsuit for yourself?
Here is the chance for you to win one!
Eco Swim has graciously offered one LWML reader the chance to win your suit of choice right here!

This giveaway is open world-wide!!
