Jude's Cure

***CLOSED***

Ok so Jude's Cure has an amazing story behind it, an excerpt from her about me "I am a work at home mom who makes cute clothes and other baby items. 10% of my profits go to Cystic Fibrosis research. My son Jude was diagnosed with CF at 2 weeks old. I am dedicated to helping find a cure for him and all other CFers." 10% of all her profits go to the research for the cure of Cystic Fibrosis.

I didn't even contact Kristy, she contacted me and offered up this fantastic outfit for Ansel. I was so happy. I love it, I pet it, I wash it, and then I ruin it. 
Yup you heard right, RUINED! Ansel hadn't even gotten to wear it yet, I washed it once. I had thrown all the clothes that I just got into the washer not thinking about the red shirts causing any issue. Funny enough I had the shirt from Chubby Cheeks in there with it too and it came out sparkly white. I have No idea why  the cuffs, butt panel and the part of the moose that was the same fabric took on the dye. 
So I asked for help, everyone said RIT dye remover would do the trick to get the pink out. 
Boy oh Boy did it get the pink out =O(
And every other cute color too.
So I am laundry challenged, stupid me didn't think anything about it taking the dye out of everything. 

I want to cry, I want to turn back time to the day I opened the package with this beautiful outfit for my baby boy. I want to smack myself for washing it with the red shirts...you get the idea.
Besides the color change, the outfit fits him wonderfully. The pants are made with the Big Butt Baby pants pattern by Rae. Love them! alot. Kristy sells these sets for only $25 each!
I like the extra wideness in the rump. Gives him lots of room without feeling squished.
That's as close as I could get by myself of him full view. I would love to get another outfit that is the true vivid lovely colors, and will most likely do so in the near future. Look at how much cuter it would be if it was like this set...
Kristy has several other very cute items, her little boy just turned 1 like Ansel did!

Kristy is offering up a custom set for one lucky winner!

Chubby Cheeks Boutique

***CLOSED***
What can I say about Lauren and her amazing skills? How about a dream come true! I have wanted a shirt for Ansel every since I started calling him moose. I contacted Lauren and she was able to do up the CUTEST moose shirt ever!
So I don't have an action shot because currently the shirt is stained from sweet potatoes. I am trying to figure out how to fix it without fixing it like I did the Judes Cure outfit. 
The moose is perfect on it though! The applique is clean and edges are embroidered nicely. Overall I'm very impressed with the craftsmanship.
I went perusing her site and found loads of other cute stuff!
like this smashing set
I love the rich colors and that danged cute turkey!
Look at this oh so fabulous birthday set.
I know I will for sure be back for more! Look at this spankin pvc chair, and you can customize it further by putting embroidery on it! I want one..A LOT!
Lauren was easy going, prompt with her work and shipping. Everything came up so quickly I am over the moon!

Lauren is offering up something a little different...she is offering up $10 paypal cash to the lucky winner! You don't have to use it at her shop but why wouldn't you? With so many choices I can't think of a better place to use it!

Maxwell Dean Designs

***CLOSED***
So remember when I did the review of the colored pencil roll and the chalk board roll? Remember how I said that I found something there for all my kids? Yup these are it! Now Ashley had tons of things that I wanted for Ansel. She has super cute blankets, and burp cloths and everything else under the sun. 
I really wanted some personalized burp cloths. In case you haven't noticed, Ansel isn't really a common name, thus I can't readily find personalized things for him. I can't find readily personalized items for Madilyne too but that's my fault lol.
Ashley made me two cloths, which even at a year old I still use them because he is a reflux baby.
excuse this picture I took it from my mac, I was too lazy to get the real camera. I use these so often that I never have both clean at the same time! I love them with all my being. Nothing says love like labeling everything as mine!

so these are a prefold and then embelished with super cute fabric and embroidery.
Just jivin my jimmies, I love these to pieces. Ashley is a dream to work with, she was able to figure me out and select fabrics I'd love!

Ashley is offering up to a lucky winner one set of burp rags of their very own choosing.

Snuggli Bebe

***CLOSED***
I set this review up a while ago...then I decided to hold it off until Boys week. I originally got two diapers, one for review
and one to give away



Um so my dilemma was that they were both so flippin cute that I couldn't let either of them go...what to do, what to do? So I bought Another one to give away and kept both of these! 
Roxanne is so easy going and delightful to work with. I had trouble with wicking and leaks at first. Roxanne helped me and together we decided we needed to go with a heavier soaker. 


On the left is the regular soaker and the right is the double soaker. I love this! It worked like a dream and now the diapers do not wick or leak at all!
The diapers are very trim, you can adjust the rise quite a bit. This is the diaper on the smallest rise setting.


has itty bitty leg openings there...and here it is on the largest rise setting.


the leg openings are quite a bit larger and there are still several snaps we can adjust to, Ansel currently is on the middle rise so he has a ways to grow. 
 All in all these diapers are easily in my daily rotation =o)

So up for grabs is a smashing Christmas Diaper of your choice that is in Roxanne's current stock.

3 Tiny Blessings

***CLOSED***
Vickie from 3 Tiny Blessings has won my heart over again and again. I asked and she answered. I was desperately looking for a stuffed moose. I know everyone thought I was insane, but Vickie jumped right in and oh how she delivered!



This moose lovey oh he's soft, stinkin cute as all get out, and comes with a lovey blanket to boot!
 Ansel loves to hug and kiss them, he says "mwuah" while he does it.
I also asked if she could do a few things for me in the G is for Green print. I swear there isn't anything this woman can't do!


In that picture there is a changing pad, that is soft and foldable. There is the draw string bag for my cart cover. There is a wet bag to go into my Diaper bag, and a burp rag an oh so lovey soft blanket made from the G is for green collection.


I love this blanket alot! It's warm and cute and she made it all for me! er...Ansel. =o)


That is one slew of lovely pieces of art! Vickie also donated several items to the families in need that I've worked with helping. People like her make my job oh so very easy!

Vickie is offering up a $10 gift card to her store along with free shipping! Get a stuftie and lovey of your very own!

Mama Sweet Stitch

***CLOSED***
Gwen from Mama Sweet Stitch features items on East Coast Cloth as well as her facebook page.These sets from Mama Sweet Stitch are so flippin cute. Not only are they cute, but they are SUPER functional! Gwen was so super fun to work with. I told her I dug owls, and REALLY dug Mooses. She went on a hunt for moose fabric, and found this oh so cute fabric. Funny enough it's the same fabric from Amyzing Creations and from 3 Tiny Blessings. That one was NOT planned =o)



This bag is roomy enough to fit a whole little lunch in for Ansel. I can fit a sandwich, some fruit snacks and puffs. It has Velcro for closure and the ribbon loop I can slide around my wrist and it won't run away, or magically end up on the floor.
So the bib-dana is in the wash, but look how stinkin cute it is on my Moose.
And he leaves it on! this is the ONLY bib he'll leave on. He ate his pizza and cake with it on. I was surprised.
I love this so much. Gwen even gave me an Owl bag too! I have two bags and I for sure am going to get some more!


Definitely dig this one too!
The bag is lined with nylon which is 100% food safe, and easily washed so feel free to put even your icky stickies in there too!

Gwen is generously offering up a snacklett and bib-dana of choice to a lucky winner!

Tushie Ties

***CLOSED***
Tushie Ties...oh my can we say super soft? Honestly I thought what in the heck? But then I saw how ingenious they were. I HATE diaper pins with a passion I will not EVER use them. EVER! Snappis are ok, but they tear up the fabric. The ties work fabulously and it's easy to adjust. Now it took me a little bit to get the hang of it, but once i got it down, it's pretty easy to get together. 



She sent me an extra soaker with mine, so this is how I lay it out, you can adjust size by folding down the front.


Lay the little wiggler in and pull up the center, thread the ribons through the sides and tie them up, throw on a cover or not...it's super absorbent and as such I've not had leaking issues at all.
I really like this diaper, it's soft and easy to clean, so far no stains at all! 
Crystal is super helpful and down to earth, she'll help you out with any questions you might have, her responses have always been quick when I've had a question.


Overall I really love this prefold, and it's the only one that I do not use tri-folded and laid in a cover.

Crystal is offering up to one super lucky winner a Tushie Tie of their choice!
