Red Barn Diapers Review
#FluffyButtsHop Spotlight

While browsing on the web I came across this awesome WAHM shop. Jeni the owner of Red Barn Cloth Diapers lives in this beautiful barn. I absolutely fell in love with her barn and her shop's name. Do you notice the red inner color microfleece inside the diaper?? :) 
She was kind enough to send me her AI2 diaper which I have fallen in love with and so will you.





The Red Barn AI2 Fluffy Details :
  • Outer Layer : Cotton knit/ Velour
  • Sandwich Layer : PUL
  • Inside Layer : Microfleece
Lay In Insert
  • Organic Hemp/Cotton Fleece
  • Organic Bamboo Velour 
I love the logo tag in the front it doesn't bother your 
little one & looks super cute.
Inner Microfleece 

I love the elastic it has a ruffle to it and hugs babies 
legs very nice without the red marks.

The inserts are very nice and soft and 
very absorbent even after washes. 
You lay your insert down and put the diaper on baby.
Cross-over snap closure
 Do you see how its nice and snug around the legs ??

 My Experience
Red Barn Diapers are another super cute diaper I am in love with. Jeni offers awesome customer service, many options to choose from their is so many prints to choose. I love the inner red micro-fleece it camouflages any stains and its so soft. The crossover tabs are awesome and I do use them. I love how how the elastic has a nice ruffles at the end it makes the diaper nice and snug around the legs. These diapers are well made from the stitching to the snaps all looks amazing. We used our RBD for day time and experienced NO leaks. During night time we also used this diaper and used a doubler to make sure we didn't have any leaks since Ashton is a heavy wetter and we did experience a very small leak on the inner right leg which could've easily been my fault since I waited a couple minutes passed the normal time to change his diaper. Another nice feature I love about Red Barn Diapers is that Jeni adds a very nice touch to all her diapers by sending this card with every diaper that goes out of her barn with instructions and details. Which I love for the simple fact that every diaper is different and I thought this was a very nice touch. Overall I love these diapers, they are amazing. My little Ashton also loves his diaper. I would definitely recommend these diapers to ALL my readers, friends, family.

Tips and Learning Experiences
#Flatschallenge Day - 5

I am taking part in the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge hosted by Dirty Diaper Laundry.  For 7 days I will be using only flat cloth diapers and handwashing them in an effort to prove that cloth diapering can be affordable and accessible to all.  You can learn more about the rules and why this challenge was started by visiting the announcement post.  This year there are over 450 participants from all over the world!  


Ashtons Night Time Diaper !! Can you say super FLUFFY ?? 
Day 4 is down 3 more to go!!

Yesterday was a very challenging day for me. I had a lot of things to do. I was very tired and had no energy to wash cloth diapers. I got some motivation in me and found myself washing at 10pm. So I had to dry on the drying rack I have for the inside. After I was done I felt super accomplished and was ready to go to bed. 
I figured I could write the post today instead of yesterday.

Couple things I have learned while handwashing cloth diapers is ..  
Keep in mind that im using a wash board.

  • Pre-rinsing them in cold and agitating the crap out of them by stomping on them with my feet in the bath tub works wonders !!
  • Wash day by day, don’t let it accumilate because you will have more to wash and will get discouraged like for example last night I had one more flat from the previous night and so it made a total of 8 and I was like “ really one more” !! 
  • Just go day by day have fun with it. I was stressed out if I would have enough flats and honestly I have not touched like 11 of them. I’ve been using the same ones over and over and over. Wash & Use. Same thing goes for my covers I’ve only used the sassy flip, blueberry monkey, thirsties hoots that’s it.


I would like to try the bucket and plunger next year, just to see how different that would be. So far im feeling good about this challenge , though I do look forward to my washing machine on Monday.

What have you learned??? Any different you would do??

Londonware Fleece Soaker Review & Giveaway

There is a wonderful WAHM behind Londonware her name is Wendy, whom just  recently was blessed with a little girl named Bryleigh. 

I had the pleasure of working with Wendy. I received a Cameo fleece soaker. It has a lot of nice features, It has a sewn in extra saoker booster in the middle. The band around the waist is nice and snug along with the legs. Ashton has worn the soaker with a BumGenius medium fitted, prefolds, flats. His bum looks very fluffy. This was my first time trying out fleece soakers. I didn’t know that fleece was  a great breathable alternative to PUL cover. So Wendy gave me the low down on the fleece and how it is a water repellent fabric, breathable, totally light, easy to wash and care. 



Londonware fleece soakers are very nice and soft and very well made. I mean they are made with LOVE. I was also worried on the “How to care for them” just because I had never used them before, but they are actually super easy to care for you just wash with your diapers or with your regular clothes, I always line dry but you can also use the dryer its just a personal preference.

Overall I love our fleece soaker its super cute. Wendy has a lot of different prints to choose from she makes Soakers, Longies, snack bags. Not to mention she has awesome customer service, make sure you go check out her Etsy shop.

WAHM are awesome they do this out of love for the hobby and to bring a unique product to you home. Be sure to support!!

Leettle Hands & Feet Review & Giveaway

My lil Ashton!!

About the awesome woman of God behind Leettle Hands & Feet : 


My name is Alanna and I am a stay-at-home cloth diapering mom of two amazing children and wife of a wonderful, hardworking man.
One day I mulled over the idea of selling cloth diapers, at first as a part-time job. After a while I began thinking about a recent sermon that my church pastor made about using your talents and resources to help those in need. I began to think about how blessed my family actually was and thought that it would be wonderful to give 100% of my sales profits to World Vision International. This non-profit organization serves children and families worldwide, including survivors of natural disaster, abandoned and exploited children, survivors of famine and civil war, refugees, and children and families in communities devastated by diseases such as AIDS and malaria. You can learn more about World Vision at http://www.worldvision.org
This is just one of the small ways that I can be the "hands and feet" of Jesus to help those in the world around me. Which leads me to the question of how I chose the name "Leettle Hands and Feet", "Leettle" is the nickname of my youngest son, given by his older brother, and of course the rest defines the purpose of my mission.
Thank you all for your support by purchasing from my site, as well as your prayers to keep this vision of mine going. I, as well as those whose lives we are positively impacting, truly value your business.
- Alanna Butterfield

I had the pleasure of working with Alanna on this review, she sent me this super cute Bamboo cameo one size diaper. Let me start off by saying that its an awesome diaper and the price is also amazing for only $ 11.00 dollars you get a bamboo diaper that works amazing for day time and night time comes with two inserts and Alanna also included a sample of A Happy Green Life detergent which smells amazing. I don't know about you but I love getting 
samples.

My Experience 

Mom & Dad Friendly : I love that these one size pocket diapers are so easy to use, even if you are new to cloth diapering. The diaper is simple and easy to use just have to figure out the snap setting that fits your well and snug. After a couple of times you'll be great at it. Though I do believe that aplix is more on the friendlier side for anyone in general. 

Fit : Leetle Hands & Feet one size diaper fit nice and snug on Ashton I didn't have any leaks, no deep red marks as you can see in the picture below the elastic is nice and snug. The rise is just perfect not too low. I love it.


Day time:  the diaper was great during with day with only one insert I normally change Ashton's diaper every 2-3 hrs. So it was great I did not experience any leaks so thats always very nice.

Night time: Ashton has become a(somedays) heavy wetter at night. So I thought i'd give it a shot since it is bamboo and bamboo is more absorbent!! So we did and sure enough I used both inserts for night time and I had no problems the next morning. No leaks = Happy Mamma!! I love the cross over tabs along with the hip snaps helps wing droop. 

Overall : Its a great bamboo one size pocket diaper you definitely get your moneys worth at $11 dollars each with two inserts, kind of hard to pass these diapers up. Also keeping in mind that you are helping those less fortunate and that always makes your buy a better experience that you are getting a great product while helping out a great cause. I have purchased baby legs from Alanna as well and her customer service is amazing she is a great person overall wanting to make a difference. Im all for that!!!

Motherove Diaper Rash & Thrush Review & Giveaway



The first herbal personal care and supplement line specifically designed for pregnant and breastfeeding women, Motherlove has led the holistic body care industry since its conception in 1990. Our dedication to consistent quality means crafting only the finest, purest products, and using certified organic ingredients designed to nurture, soothe and heal women on their all-important journey of nurturing life. Each of our formulas are time proven and backed with integrity, wisdom and an intimate knowledge of herbal remedies.



Motherlove was kind enough to send me a Diaper Rash & Thrush formula. Which is awesome it is clear salve that is applied on babies bum if he/she has a rash or thrush (yeast infection ). 
  • Its is 96% certified organic ingredients (myrrh, oregon grape root, calendula, yarrow, extra virgin olive oil, beeswax)
  • An all-natural salve for persistent, inflamed diaper rash.
  • Safe to use with all diapers, including CLOTH DIAPERS
  • It comes in a glass jar 
  • Certified Cruelty Free 
  • Can also be used on mothers sore nipples.
  • Has a zero rating (zero toxins)
  • Comes in a 1oz/30ml
                                                        My Experience 

As you know we only use cloth diapers in my household. I have been trying to use all organic, all natural things for ourselves and for around the house. This is just another one of those products that are awesome all natural cloth diaper safe. The consistency of the salve is very easy to apply its light and clear. Something like a lip balm so you can get the picture. I tried it on Ashton on the perfect day he was pooping all day... he had a small rash towards the back of his bum. I applied the Motherlove Salve ( I did use a fleece liner, I know its cloth diaper safe I just do this with any Diaper rash cream, balm, salve ) before going to bed the next morning while changing his diaper I noticed that his rash was gone. That was awesome it worked on his bum all night and cleared up. Its not hard to clean off which I also think is awesome. Motherlove Salve comes in a glass jar which I also think stands out from the rest of the companies for the fact that they represent the all-natural organic product well by using glass jars to store this awesome product. The glass jar can later be recycled. 
Overall we enjoyed Motherlove I would defiantly recommend this to my readers, friends and family.

A Happy Green Life Review





While passing by my laundry room I heard.. 
“mommy whats that smell?” what smell Adryana? 
I don’t know mammi, it just  smells super good right here?

 That my fellow readers is the reaction I got from my 5 yr. old daughter
 while passing by the laundry room and using
A Happy Green Life detergent.


There scents smell amazing, they make my laundry room smell Flufftastic !!!
The awesome part is that its all eco-friendly.. 
who knew natural stuff would be so amazing right??

I was given and opportunity to try this detergent and I'm so glad I did.  I received some samples one of the scents I chose was monkey farts, super amazing. I used A Happy Green Life on my cloth diapers and after the rinses they did not smell like nothing just plain clean diapers,  I did not experience any rash on Ashton's bum which was great. Also tried it out on our regulars clothes and let me say when I pulled them out of the washer and ready to line dry them they still had a hint of the monkey farts smell. Which I loved, for the simple fact that I love my clothes to smell good. I love that it is gentle on babies bum and can be used for cloth diapers but also effective on taking out dirt stains. I used it on my husbands military uniforms and it left them nice and fresh clean smelling. I can't say enough about A Happy Green Life. I love there detergent, would recommend to my readers, friends, and family.  

Also would like to mention that the gals at 
A Happy Green Life are amazing, great customer service they have a variety of products from detergent to sprays to kitchen soap all around eco-friendly. They also have a Scent of the Month which I think is a awesome neat thing to have separates them from the other brands.
