Naturally Knotty Bamboo Scarf/Wrap {Giveaway Closed}

Today Im happy to introduce you to Naturally Knotty! Ive had great experiences with this companys products. I have one of their Knotty Totes (I won it) and love the design, the size, and the fact that if it ever gets dirty I can just wipe it off! Oh, and it zips shut. Its a mommys best friend! I also have two of their gorgeous bamboo wraps (also won) and am even MORE in love with them! Each can be used as a wrap/shawl or ultra fashionable scarf and they come in nine beautiful colors (not all shown below). My scarves arrived in very cool reusable natural bamboo tube containers like the ones shown above. I couldnt wait to get them open to see my scarves, and I was not disappointed in the least! These scarves are the finest quality Ive ever come across, and are extremely soft. One reason…

Guest Review: Cotton Babies bumGenius Bamboo Cloth Diaper and Wipes

This is a guest review by Erin of Connected2Christ Over this year, Ive discovered so many wonderful benefits of bamboo such as 100% biodegradable, sustainable, and it also grows super fast making it a renewable resource! Bamboo is also extremely soft, absorbent and very breathable so its great for keeping your baby cool, dry and comfortable especially when its hot out. I was given the opportunity by Cotton Babies to review a bumGenius DELUXE Bamboo Fitted Cloth Diaper as well as a couple of the bumGenius bamboo wipes.The wipes, though made from Bamboo, I found not as soft and as absorbent as the flannel ones Ive used. I would possibly use these for other things but not on my daughters sensitive bottom. Note that I was recommended to try fabric softener but have not been able to as of yet since I normally dont usually use it as its built…

Cloud B Dozy Dolphin on the Go ♥ Review

Ive been an admirer of Cloud B products ever since I discovered them about two years ago. Cloud B is a company dedicated to helping moms put their children to sleep. They are most popular for their soft stuffed toys made especially for babies and toddlers that soothe little ones to sleep with sound, colorful dim lights, gentle vibration, or calming scents. They also carry soft swaddler and sleep bag gift sets! I love the looks of these, though I havent tried them myself yet. Cool fact: Cloud B is dedicated to providing less fortunate children the quality sleep they deserve through product donations and financial contributions to charitable organizations nationwide.
