"Newborns In Cloth" upcoming #CLOTHDIAPER event!
As I recently blogged about, my sister is having her second baby! Her water actually broke early this morning! I am not going to be there with her in Oregon for the birth, but will be there next week!
In honor of her having a new wee one, I am going to be flying out to meet him with some #CLOTHDIAPERS! I am going to try out some different diapers on my nephew to see which ones work best, and I have some new sponsors to add to the lineup!
Here is a list of current sponsors:
1. AMP diapers has donated an AMP All In Two (AI2) diaper size small!
2. Mommy's Own has donated a Grovia AIO Newborn diaper, a jar of Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter, an Aden and Anais swaddle blanket and some samples of tiny bubbles soap!
3. Madison Organics has donated a Lil Joey cloth diaper as well!
Added to the line up is:
4. Mighty Nest has donated a pack of organic fitted crib sheets (a gift certificate for a giveaway)!
5. The Little Bee Company is donating a Bitty Bee cloth diaper (review and giveaway in Jan, 2012)
6. A secret item from My Precious Kid LLC (I actually get to go to the store and meet Kay)!
6. Ecobubs is donating a wool pocket diaper!
Ecobubs is a company out of New Zealand! They make cloth diapers and are having a facebook contest. Right now, if you go and like them on Facebook, you will be entered to win one of their diapers. There are currently only 226 fans, so that makes your odds pretty darn good!
You just need to like them on Facebook (you can let them Life With My Littles sent you if you'd like)! On October 1st, the winner will be drawn!
Are you excited!
Prayers are appreciated for my sister, and for me as I travel across the country with two littles by myself!!

Homeward Bound, and an upcoming #CLOTHDIAPERS event!
Last night I bought tickets.... to where? Oregon! Yes, that's right. I was born and raised in Oregon and left there at age 22 when I joined the Army! I was sent to Germany and that is where I met my husband! After serving 5 years in the Army I decided to get out because I wanted to start a family. I didn't like the idea of husband and wife serving in the Army, and the fact that both could be deployed at the same time, so I decided to get out. I was honorably discharged and got out while we were stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Now we live in Maryland. I have not been home for almost 3 years, when I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer.
My dear sister is pregnant with her second child, a boy! Her first son was delivered via emergency c-section as her water broke unexpectedly at 34 weeks and 5 days!! He only weighed 5 lbs 15 oz!
This time around, she is going to have a home birth. She is due 12 October and I am flying out there to be with her! I am SOOOOO excited! I have never witnessed anyone give birth (except myself)... lol!
In honor of her having this baby, I am going to be doing a blog event when I come home. The blog event is going to be called "Newborns and Cloth."
Here is what I have lined up so far!
1. AMP diapers has donated an AMP All In Two (AI2) diaper size small!
2. Mommy's Own has donated a Grovia AIO Newborn diaper, a jar of Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter, an Aden and Anais swaddle blanket and some samples of tiny bubbles soap!
3. Madison Organics has donated a Lil Joey cloth diaper as well!
I am still taking on sponsors for the event!
I can't wait to try these tiny diapers on my nephew, and offer a few things for a giveaway when I get home! So be sure to stick around! It's going to be lots of fun!
I will have Internet access while I'm away, and the giveways will run like normal. If I don't get back to you in a day or two (if you contact me, or if you are a winner) please be patient!
Travelling alone with two little boys is going to be quite challenging!
Did you cloth diaper your newborn? Which is your favorite newborn clothdiaper??

Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitted diaper review and #GIVEAWAY {The Green Nursery}
I love fitted diapers. I have tried a few in the past and have found out that I really like natural fiber fitted diapers (ie: Hemp and Bamboo)!
I was curious about Kiwi Pie Fitted Diapers and the kind folks at The Green Nursery sent me a Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitted diaper in "Boyz Rock" for review.
This is what I received:
Each diaper comes with two soakers that snap together at the top:
You can use the soakers snapped together for maximum absorbency or you can use one soaker by itself. One of the soakers is slightly shorter in length than the other. The shorter soaker can be folded to give you extra protection where its needed, or you can use the smaller soaker for a smaller baby, which will give you less bulk.
Here is the diaper on the smallest setting:
I could totally see a newborn baby wearing this teeny tiny diaper!
Here is a bit more information on the Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitted diaper *taken from The Green Nursery's Website*
Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitted
The Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitted Diaper is made of 2 layers of bamboo blend and 1 layer of cotton knit designer print. With each diaper, you will receive 2 4-layer soakers that can be used separately or together depending on the size setting and absorbency needed. The snaps are made of durable poly resin and coordinate with the print.
The Kiwi Pie One Size Bamboo Fitted Diaper fits 8-35+ lbs. For a smaller diaper, simply snap down the two rise snaps and lay in the small soaker with the snaps away from the baby. For a larger setting, unsnap the rise snaps, snap 2 soakers together for extra absorbency and lay them in the diaper.
Since this diaper is made with 75% Bamboo, 25% spandex, and a 100% cotton outer, it is super stretchy. It is really easy to put on and get a GOOD fit! There is stretchy elastic around the legs and the back to give you the flexibility to get a perfect fit.
I used this diaper on my 19 mo son, who is a bit on the slender side. Both my boys are tall and long, not chunky at all. This diaper is not waterproof and needs a cover. I have been using it at night time with a wool cover and it works great. No issues at all. It is super absorbent (I use both soakers since I've been using it for night time, and my boys sleep 12 hrs on average at night.
This is a picture of this diaper on my son:
We love this diaper!
You can purchase this diaper from The Green Nursery for $24.95 *and you will earn 96 Gold Points for buying it! What are Gold Points you ask? At The Green Nursery (TGN) each purchase you make earns you points. The points accumulate and can be spent at TGN like money. For instance, 100 TGN Gold Points gives you one dollar!
