"Birthday Blessings Bash" Grovia AI2 review and #GIVEAWAY {All Things Diapers} US and Canada

All Things Diapers is a brick and mortar store, as well as an online retailer located in MN. They run a cloth diapering service as well as offer many cloth-diapering related items for sale!
All Things Diapers graciously sent me a Grovia AI2 hybrid shell in "cloud" and an organic cotton soaker pad for review. This is what I received:

The other side of the soaker pad has two snaps:

So you can simply snap the soaker pad right into the shell:

As you can see from the picture above, the inside of the shell is made of a mesh-type fabric.
Here is some more information about the Grovia AI2 (taken from All Things Diapers' website):
"How does GroVia work?
GroVia is designed so that the outer shells may be used for multiple diaper changes. If the soaker pad is wet, simply snap in a fresh one and you are ready to go. If the shell is wet, allow it to air dry and use for the next diaper change. When your GroVia Shell is soiled or very saturated, start fresh with a new GroVia Shell.

Most GroVia System users will find that using 2-4 GroVia Shells are enough per day, although newborn babies may need more.

How does the one-size feature on my GroVia work?
GroVia will fit MOST babies from 8-35 lbs. The GroVia Shell features three sets of rise snaps that adjust to fit your baby. Our unique one-size Organic Soaker Pad fits from 8-35 lbs as well.

1.Newborn/Small Infant Setting: Snap your GroVia Shell rise snaps on the lowest setting. Snap your soaker pad into the shell and simply flip the front of the soaker pad in towards baby. Fastened diaper on baby.

2.Infant Setting: Snap your GroVia Shell rise snaps on the middle setting. Snap your soaker pad into the shell. Tuck the front of your soaker pad down, while pulling the front panel up and fasten on baby.

3.Toddler Setting: Leave your GroVia Shell rise snaps unsnapped. Snap your soaker pad into the shell and fasten on baby."

I really like this diaper. It is different than anything I had tried before, but I really like the ease of snapping in the soaker pad to the shell and simply unsnapping the soaker pad for changes. You can use the same shell over again as long as it is not soiled.

This diaper fit my 2 yo very well:

We did not experience any red marks, leaks or any other issues with this diaper.

This diaper can also be used with a Grovia stay dry soaker pad which are made with a TPU outer, four layers of hemp/cotton blend topped with cozy micro fleece, and ultra soft leg gussets.
The Grovia AI2 shell can be purchased from All Things Diapers for $16.95. You can also purchase an organic cotton soaker pad 2-pack for $17.95! All Things Diapers offers free shipping to fellow Minnesota residents and free shipping elsewhere in the US on orders over $49.00!

As a sponsor of the "Birthday Blessings Bash" event, All Things Diapers has generously offered one LWML follower a Grovia AI2 in choice of color/print and closure with one soaker pad!

Disclosure: I received the product(s) mentioned above in exchange for this review, thanks to All Things Diapers! No monetary compensation was received by me. This is my completely honest opinion above and may differ from yours.

I love to win, and this time I did!!

Since I've started blogging consistently, I've received many free products for review. I love trying new products and I LOVE giving free things away to you (giveaways).
I am so caught up in blogging though, and typing up my reviews, that I don't much have time to enter any giveaways to win.
The other week I received an e-mail from All Things Diapers. They wanted bloggers to post a review of their store. You could either visit their store in person or visit the online version and blog about it.
Since they are located in MN, I thought about doing option #2!
The deadline was the end of August.... I re-read the e-mail and saw that they were offering a few bloggers an item for review and giveaway, a $100.00 gift basket, and a $250.00 gift basket to the bloggers that submitted the review, winners chosen by random.
At the last minute, I decided to blog about it. You can read my post HERE!
Much to my surprise, I received an e-mail last week stating I was the winner of the $250.00 gift basket! I about fell out of my chair!
What a blessing!
Then today, when I checked the mail (in the pouring down rain) there was a HUGE box on my steep from All Things Diapers!
Do you want to guess what was inside? I had not idea what I had won, but knew it was fluffy goodness!
Here is a photo of the box just after I opened it:

Want to guess what was inside?
Here are the items all laid out (at nap-time of course):

Is that not the most beautiful prize pack you have ever seen?
I am so thankful to All Things Diapers for blessing us in this way!
Let's show them some "Life With My Littles Love" for two extra entries into each one of my current giveaways, to include those that will be posted through the month of September, please go ahead and like All Things Diapers on Facebook and copy this note to their wall "New fan here, Life With My Littles sent me, thanks for blessing her family with such an awesome prize" *for Rafflecopter entries, just leave a blog post comment under the giveaway and put "all things diapers #1" "all things diapers #2"
I have 2 friends that are pregnant and due this winter, and my sister is due in October! I will use some of these items, then pay it forward to bless the other mamas as I have been blessed!
A huge thank you to All Things Diapers for giving me this awesome prize!
