Meet The Daddy Bloggers at Dads Talking!

I stumbled and tripped onto this blog. But this was not a ball under the feet kinda trip, it was more like the little person crawling infront of you while your reading and walking at the same time, and don't see them kind of trip. I assume as parent's you've all been there! (I know I have!) *Now your thinking about the last time you did that!

Dads Talking has to be one of the greatest blogs I have come across. It's well written, stylish, and upfront and best of all, it's written by dads! Reading a daddy written blog has a completely different idea and perspective on being a parent. Mommy bloggers tell the tale from conception, where as dads start at birth. They talk about the same social media and famous problems and gossip that we as Mommy bloggers do.

I would LOVE for you all as my readers to check out Dads Talking. What was really great, was that my husband found their blog and reccomended it to me!

*Have a Happy Halloween!*

New Template by Adori Graphics!

So, I recently decided I was bored with my template design. You will probably see this often with me. I went to Adori Graphics Blog, and took a look over her Free Blog Templates. I Absolutely LOVE this one that I have now. Jungle Jane. However, I have purchased 2 of her Digi Scrap Kits, that are a great price, I paid less than $10 for the both together. I am going to merge Jungle Jane, and Jolly Jungle (If I can! lol) to see what I can come up with for a Template.

Thanks Adori Graphics for your Great kits, Lets see if I can do this now! lol

My Baby's Green Cloth Diaper Review and *Giveaway*

Photobucket

I was greatly honored to review a My Baby's Green Pocket Cloth Diaper!




Photobucket



I have been cloth diapering for 7 months now. My stash is made up of mostly bumGenius diapers. Three quarters of it are 3.0 AIOs, a few 4.0 OS, and a few stragglers of other brands.


I wish I could get more cloth diapers right now, because I could use a few more like this one, but the DH says that I have enough diapers…hehe.


The Review:


Photobucket


 What I LOVE:
  1. The generous sizing on this One Size diaper.
  2. The insert has snaps for multi-sizing
  3. The snap on the inside on the back of the diaper.
  4. Snug elastics.
     
What I Dislike:
  1. The laundry tabs do not always stay shut.
     
I will start with the DISLIKE list first…since its soooo short. The laundry tabs sometimes comes open, and the hook and loop will attach itself to another diaper, or to the front of its own diaper. But that is not a big problem for me.

Now, the LOVE it list. I Love the generous sizing. Even for my little chunky butt of a boy it fits him well. The insert on the inside has multi-sizing as well, which is really good for smaller babies… (I wish I had one of those! A small baby, both of my boys were huge when they were born!).



Photobucket


If you look at the back of the diaper is has a snap, and that is for perfect placement of the insert. The insert also has a special end with the snap, so the insert won't move around, and so it stays in place and doesn't bunch up which is great!





Photobucket


Matthew is a large baby for his age, he is the size of an 18-24 month old, when he is only 9 ½ months. The leg elastics on this diaper are great for little movers, and wigglers and crawlers. They are not too tight where they leave marks, but they are not too lose, that they let the mess or wetness out. Some of our BG's do not even compare to this diaper! This diaper is definitely great for my little mover.

However at night time, I needed to put an extra insert in it, because the 3 am wake up calls are not a great thing because he is soaking wet through his pj's and sheets. But, Matthew is a VERY heavy wetter at night time. The Hook and Loop is very strong for well, hook and loop that is.



Just Look at my little Baby Model!



Photobucket


I chose to review the green diaper; however, this diaper comes in an array of pastels. Plus, I am keeping most of my diapers because I am bugging the DH for a girl in a few years.

After reading all these great things about this diaper, it makes you want it, right?

Well you can….

I may be mom, But I'm still a woman- EdenFantasys Review

Yes, that is right, I may be a mom, but I still am a woman.

I recently had the chance to review an item from EdenFantasys. EdenFantasys is an online retailer for adult products. I absolutely LOVE their selection of sensual candles and sexy lingerie. Their items are sure to spice up your personal, private moments with you and your significant other.

Just because you are a parent, doesn't mean that your personal time needs to lack imagination

Their shipping is FAST and their checkout process if flawless! They even mail you your stuff disguised so no one knows what you are getting.

Check out EdenFantasys today!

This post was written by me on my expirences with EdenFantasys. In exchage for my honest review I was provided with a product free of charge. Opinions in this review are 100% my own, and could differ from yours.
