AppleCheeks Blog Giveaway

Hello all CDing fans. I just wanted to share that AppleCheeks is having a awesome giveaway on their blog that ends Sunday. Be sure to check them out quick! Here is the link. Have a great weekend everyone!

Rock-a-Thigh Baby Review

I recently discovered the cutest new socks....thigh highs for babies! I love these things! I usually put my girls in socks and leggings during the day when we are just lazing around the house, so these are right up my alley.

I love how cute they look in their leggings and how easy it is to change their diapers. I DON"T love the fact that Molly (9 months old) loves to pull her socks off. When she does that I have to hike up the leggings, put her socks back on, and then cover them back up with leggings (not always an easy task with a wiggly baby). With the Rock-a-Thigh baby socks, I don't have to do that. She tries to pull them off, but so far she has not been successful, yea! She can pull them down a little bit, but it is easy enough to pull them back up. They also work great for protecting her knees as she just started crawling last Monday!

They work great for Grace (29 months) too. She likes to match Molly, so I love that they come in sizes up to 4 years old. They also make it easier for her to go potty when she actually tells me she has to go, lol. It is quicker just to whip off her diaper and put her on the potty when you don't have to deal with getting pants on and off. It is also easier for her to go potty by herself.

Rock-a-Thigh Baby has a 15% off coupon code, but you have to hurry it ends Sunday! The code is sd15offoct2010. You can check out all the cute styles here. Also, be sure to read how Rock-a-Thigh Baby's were "born" here. It is too funny! If you are a facebooker you can check out Rock-a-Thigh Baby's page. Be sure to thank them for the 15% discount!

The Dirties on Diapering - Round 2

I just wanted to take a minute to share a really cool idea from Jamie Wilkinson.

I want to use photography to create a visual hard-cover coffee-table style book, which will let people know about cloth diapering vs. disposable diapers. I want to show, using pictures, both the health risks and environmental risks moms take by choosing disposables. I want to make the recent information about disposable diapers a more vivid picture in people's minds. I also want to show a bit on the modernization/history of the cloth diaper through photography. If funded, the book will be sold on both Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com and will be available for stores from the publisher.

Kickstarter is a wonderful webpage which funds artistic & creative projects through pledges using Amazon.com. Unfortunately they do not yet use PayPal because only Amazon has the option of not charging people unless the project is fully funded. It would be difficult to complete the project and give out backer rewards without proper funding. This is all or nothing! Nobody is charged until pledges reach the funding needs. So help me spread the word so we can make this happen! Thank you everyone for your support!

Also, I know sometimes it is difficult for people to make a pledge. Although amounts as small as $1 are accepted, it's definitely a time when budgets are tight! So if you are excited about this project but can't pledge, it would be a huge help to simply spread the word! Facebook, tweet, or blog about it! All bloggers who blog about it before the end of funding will receive two books to give away for their blog! Just post a link to your blog under the "comments" of this webpage.

GIVEAWAYS! I will also be doing giveaways throughout the pledging process to random backers. The sooner you get your pledge in, the more giveaways you will qualify for! Every backer, no matter how big or small, will get 1 entry in each giveaway drawing.
If you are a green company interested in giving away a product to both promote your company and this project, please email me (Jamie) at SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com Thank you!!!

A DOZEN CLOTHDIAPERS FOR FREE!
If "The Dirties on Diapering, Round 2" funding is a success, I will personal buy a dozen cloth diapers for one random backer, any brand & any type. Each backer, no matter what size pledge will have one entry.

BUMESSENTIALS GIVEAWAY!
IF this project is a success, BumEssentials has generously offered to give away three A-Z Kits (a $47.99 value) to 3 random backers! Wow! A-Z kits include 2 Bumbino Diaper Shells, 2 "Terry Towel" Bum Pad Combos (inclusive with diaper shells), 1 "Classic" Bum Pad combo, and 1 Travel Bum Bag. This is the perfect starter kit. It covers everything whether you are at home or on the go. Check it out at www.bumessentials.com

NIFTY NAPPY SNAPPY SWIMZEAZE GIVEAWAY!
Nifty Nappy is excited to promote this project by giving every $50 pledge a Snappy SwimzEaze Swim Diaper!! That's in addition to your backer rewards!!! Check out their swim diaper and more of their great products at NiftyNappy.com!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note: I do not intend to use this project to speak poorly upon any companies. I just want to educate parents on their choices.

Also, if you pledged the first time, you will need to re-pledge during round 2. Nobody was charged during the first launch, and all pledges were void. Thank you for your continued support!

You can also find "The Dirties on Diapering" on Facebook & "Sugar Snap Photography" on Facebook & Twitter.

Please help if you can. Only 5 more days left for Jamie to reach her goal! Click here to visit The Dirties on Diapering Kickstarter page.

Ragababe Organic 2-Step and 'Easy' AIO Review and Giveaway!-CLOSED

Molly in her rocking Hero 'Easy' All-In-One!

Molly is 8 months old and about 17lbs. She is in the medium 'Easy' AIO with room to grow.

Grace wearing the Organic '2-Step' in a size 2. She is 28 months, about 38" tall, and about 31lbs. She is long and skinny. I did accidently put Molly's size 1 on her and it did fit, just a little short. :)

Did I mention how awesome the fit on these diapers are? NO leg gapping. Even when I put in an extra insert for bed time they fit great!

Let me just start by saying that I am SO glad that I got a chance to review the Ragababe Organic '2-Step' Diaper! I really love them and they are now my go-to diapers. Ragababes are high quality, effective diapers. And they are made in the USA! You can read Joy's story here.

So let me tell you about the Organic '2-Step' and its awesome features. The cover is waterproof laminated polyester PUL with a soft inner lining. I really like the lining. I prefer having a soft lining rather than PUL coming into contact with my daughter's skin. The lining also dries pretty quickly. If the cover gets a little wet, I can wipe it down and leave it on the dresser to dry for the next diaper change.

The inserts are made of organic cotton sherpa with ultra absorbent bamboo rayon interior. The inserts also snap and tuck in which I love. It keeps the inserts in place, which is helpful with cleaning up poo messes! The inserts are also nice and soft and really absorbent. My daughters, Grace is 28 months old and Molly is 8 months old, are heavy wetters (I used to use BG's with their microfiber insert and a superdo at night and still got occasional leaks). I have no problems during nap times with just one insert. They can go 3 plus hours during the day and not have any leaks. I can also use them at night, I just lay in an extra insert or two of the Ragababe doublers.

Another feature is a wide comfort-fit waistband designed to resist wicking and deter "blow-outs". Let me just add here that my daughter Grace has had "sick poo" for the last three days and I haven't had any leaks! They also have contoured leg elastic made with 'last-ever' elastic that won't need replacing.

The Velcro is nice too. They have cross-over star Velcro that can adjust really small for those skinny babies! These diapers also feature 'stay-locked' laundry tabs. From my experience they almost always stay put during the wash. I suspect that the few times that they haven't is because my husband....okay and sometimes maybe I, forgot to stick them to the laundry tab!

I recently went on vacation and we did all cloth! I took my Ragababe Organic '2-Steps' as my primary diapers. They held up great. I love being able to fold up the inserts and shove in the covers. Two days of Ragababe '2-Steps' took up about the same amount of space as one day of pockets. It was also nice being able to add an extra insert for the plane ride and still have trim bottoms.

The only con that I can think of is that they don't come in the same super cute prints as their Easy AIO diapers! (Maybe someday?!?!) I have never been a super big fan of white diapers, however I will say that I love the white with the colored snaps.

Speaking of the 'Easy' All-In-Ones...I love them! I started out buying the Hero print because I love stars. It worked so great during the day AND at NIGHT that I bought more. They are my new bedtime diapers! They are an AIO and they have a pocket. I just stuff a Ragababe insert in the pocket and my daughters are good for the night!

The 'Easy' AIO's have most of the same features of the Organic '2-Step'. Instead of replacing inserts, the AIO's have sewn-in soakers made of quick drying, light weight, ultra-absorbent bamboo rayon. The lining is hypoallergenic suede cloth that draws moisture away from the skin into the soaker.

Okay, I know this review is super long, but there are so many good things to share about Ragababes! If you would like to buy one you can check out their website here.
