Glow Bug Cloth Diapers #GBGreenFam

I hope you all are enjoying the Green Family Giveaway hop! the #GBGreenfam giveaway still has a few more days so hurry and enter these great giveaways!

I know i've already told all of you about my Love of Glow Bug Cloth diapers, butI wanted to spread the word a little more for those who don't know. If someone were to ask me what my favorite pocket diapers were, it would be hands down Glow Bug cloth diapers! I tell everyone I can about Glow bugs and how amazing they are. 

What is it that I love about Glow Bugs? So many things, here's a short list of why I love this diaper. 

* Snap in insert. It doesn't wiggle around like other inserts or bunch up at one end (always the opposite end of where you need it on other diapers). 

* The insert agitates out in the wash! I HATE pulling stinky wet icky inserts out of pocket diapers, its enough to make me not use pockets, but with Glow Bug Cloth diapers all you have to do is unsnap the insert and throw it in the washing machine. The moment of the washing machine slides the insert out. 

* Double gussets. Double Gussets are the best thing to happen to cloth diapers in a long time. They really contain those nasty blow out diapers. Eva has definitely put our Glow Bug diapers to the test. She likes to challenge them to make sure they still work sometimes =)

*AMAZING Customer Service. Seriously. The BEST customer service ever. When I did my first review of Glow Bug Diapers I had a problem with the diaper they sent me, the elastic had come loose and the back was unsewen. They assured me it was a fluke and sent me a new one right away. Then a month or so after I wrote my review, somehow morgen lost my inserts. I emailed them to ask if I could buy some new ones, and they were so nice. They sent me two new inserts at no cost. Seriously its the best customer service ever! Their amazing customer service alone is enough to make me a life time customer and fan!

The only thing I thought was missing from Glow Bug cloth diapers before was that they didn't have a hip snap to prevent wing droop. Well guess what? Glow Bugs now have hip snaps! Heck Yeah! Seriously Glow Bugs are the perfect diaper! I love them so much! And whats even better? Glow Bugs is sponsoring the grand prize of the Green Family Event! One winner will receive a whole stash of Glow Bug Diapers! How exciting is 
that!

IF you aren't the winner of the Glow Bug Green Family Giveaway, you can buy Glow bug Diapers for $150 right on my side bar! I love them so much I'm an affiliate for them. 

Pre Order your girl or boy prints now for Shipping in October and get FREE Shipping!

Glow Bug has come out with some totally adorable new prints both boy and girl, as well as a super cute ugly sweater themed special edition diaper. Seriously check out the cuteness. 

   

I am planning on buying the new girl prints as soon as I get a check from the state of CA i've been waiting on for 3 months, but I also want to get a set of boy prints, I really think the boy prints are gender neutral and would look adorable on Eva. I have no problem putting an adorable wrench diaper on my girls, especially since I plan on teaching them how to fix stuff so they don't have to rely on others to do it for them. 

Go check out all the new prints Glow bug Diapers has to offer, Like them on Facebook , then head on over to Formula Mom and enter to win a full stash! 

Disclosure: I received a Glow Bug Cloth Diaper for the purpose of writing this review, all views are my own ad I would never recommend any product I would not personally use.

Gifts for my Girlfriends giveaway

So this last weekend I got to go back to California to go to a good friend's wedding. It was beautiful and I miss all my friends so much now that I'm back in Idaho. I don't realize how much I miss them till I see them and now I want to move back right now. But since I can't I figured you all might as well feel the love. I've joined in with the Gifts for my Girlfriends Giveaway hop hosted by Blogger PR. Since September is Women's friendship month, what a better time to get together with some awesome bloggers and highlight some great gifts for girlfriends?  Each blog has a prize valued of at least $20 and the giveaway ends on September 27th.

I was given the opportunity to review a great product that I think you all will love! I was able to review a Zubky necklace. Zubky are natural teething necklaces for moms. Mow wears it and baby chews on it! Although Eva loves it so much she plays with it all the time.

I got to try the "wish you were here" necklace. The necklaces are made from natural hand crafted wood and dyed with food grade dye and have no harmful dyes, BPA or other junk that a lot of teethers have. 

Zubky products are created by a husband and wife team and are all beautiful. The necklace is just long enough for Eva to play with it without it strangling me and I can easily take it off to give it to her. 

The Zubky comes on a long cord that has slide beads to change the length, however the necklace is pretty heavy and it ends up sliding down. But I don't mind because the length is fine and it allows Eva to play with it and not yank on it. She likes to hold it while nursing, which is great because she is easily distracted and tends to pull away while nursing, but this keeps her attention so she nurses till she is full. 

How would you like to win a Zubky necklace of your choice? Well you are in luck! Just enter using the rafflecoptor below.

One of you AMAZING Crafting in My Closet readers will be winning their choice of amber teething necklace from Teething Tots (a $22 value)! Teething tots Amber Teething Necklaces are made of 100% natural Baltic Amber. They are beautiful andI really know they work.

We love our Amber teething necklace from Teething tots. We have the rainbow nugget necklace and I can tell you that it works. There is no doubt in my mind. These necklaces are beautifully made and work so well. 

When Evangeline got her first tooth in, I hadn't received our teething necklace yet, she was miserable, crying and not sleeping well, then the tooth came in and it all made sence. When her second tooth came in, she had the necklace on. She was a little fussy, but no more so that if she was a little late for a nap. She slept well, nursed like a champ and was smelling, so the next morning when i noticed a tooth had popped threw, I was a little surprised. The only real sign that she had been teething, was she was a little more clingy and drooling a little more than normal. 

One thing I LOVE about these necklaces is that each bead is individually tied on. This is good, because since the beads are made from natural amber, there is a possibility that there could be a flaw in the bead and one could break. This happened to me, one of the beads cracked and half of the bead broke off. But the good thing is that since each bead is individually knotted on, there wasn't a bunch of beads falling off. The other great thing is that once I got a hold of Teething Tots and told them what happened, they were so nice and are sending me a new one. I offered to send my old one back, but they were wonderful and said it was ok. Its nice that there are companies out there who really do care about their customers like this. 

For those who don't know about Amber Teething necklaces let me fill you in on why they are so great. Amber is fossilized sap from prehistoric trees. Amber is not a stone, so it is therefore warm to the touch, as well as lightweight to wear. Amber has been used for centuries as a natural pain remedy, its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties make it the perfect option for a natural, drug free teething pain reducer. Amber teething necklaces work by the skin heating the amber and releasing healing oils including succinc acid which is absorbed through the skin into the blood stream. 

Evangeline is 7 months (but she's kind of a peanut) and you can see in this picture where it falls on her. Its not right at her neck, but since she's been wearing it for about a month, she has only tried to play with it once. She wears it all the time (although I should take it off in the water to keep the cord nice). They recomend you take it off when your child is sleeping or alone, but Eva co-sleeps, so I leave it on her. I always have it under her onesie at night and I've never had it come out of her onesie in her sleep. But if your child sleeps in a crib I would take it off at night just in case. 

After seeing how well the Amber Teething necklace from Teething Tots works on Eva, I've decided to buy a rainbow bean mommy necklace from Teething Tots for myself. I'm hopeful it will help with my back and neck pain. 

Would you like to win an Amber Teething Necklace from Teething Tots for your baby? Well its your lucky day! As part of the Green Family Giveaway I am giving away 1 Amber Teething necklace of winners choice! Thanks to Teething Tots for this amazing giveaway! 

Make sure you like Teething Tots on Facebook, Follow them on Twitter and Check out their webstore.

We recieved the print making set, and had a ton of fun doing it with Tabitha's friend Afton. Our kit came with everything we needed for two kids to do a fun art project. It came with a bag of tempura paint, a cup to mix it in, sponge paper (Tabitha thought that was the coolest thing watching the sponges grow in the water), little scissors, a pencil and paper. Tabitha is 3 and Afton is 2, so we used the kit to work on shapes. I drew a bunch of easy shapes, star, heart, circle, square, triangle, rectangle and cut them out for each of them. Then we put them in water and watched them grow. The girls loved that. Then we let the girls go to town making pictures. They had so much fun stamping away with their 

little sponges. 

                                   

                                      

The girls had so much fun doing their print making, and keep asking to do more crafts. These kits really are wonderful. For only $9.99 a month ($19.99 to Canada) you get everything you need in one easy package, you also get access to online extras like instructional videos. 

Morgen watched Tabitha while she was stamping for a bit and said we should sign up when he's done with school and we have more of a budget for this kind of stuff, I whole heartedly agree. These kits are great. Would you like to win one? How about a WHOLE YEAR of Kelly Kits? Thats right, one lucky Crafting in My Closet reader will get a year subscription to Kelly Kits, and everyone who enters will get a free kit (you pay shipping). How awesome is that? If that weren't enough, you will have two chances to win, because I will be giving away a year subscription to kelly kits to one lucky winner in the keeping kids creative giveaway in September!

Sponsor spotlight: EG Baby Designs Natural Newborn Giveaway hop

For a while we were trying to find the perfect night time diaper for Eva. The AIOs we had would stink to high heaven by the morning, most of the pockets would leak, and I was just getting frustrated. One of my friends told me to try fitteds. So I went searching. I really like to buy from WAHM's, I find the quality is usually better, and you can always talk to them about what works and what doesn't. I was turned onto EG baby design by another WAHM diaper company that I follow on Facebook. EG Baby design was selling testers of her new fitted, so I bought a size 1 for Eva. Oh My Gosh! It was amazing, no leaks, no nasty smell, they were super easy to clean. I loved it! So when it came time to find a sponsor for this giveaway hop, you better believe I contacted EG Baby Designs!

Not only are her diapers AMAZING, and totally affordable, but they are totally customizable, and OH SO SOFT! I line dry my diapers and then throw my fitteds and inserts in the dryer for a quick fluff, but even right off the line my EG Diaper is so soft!. For this review I was able to pick which color of cotton Velour I wanted as well as what color snaps. Since we call Eva our little bumble bee, I asked for Black Velour with yellow snaps, and she lined it with a beautiful yellow velour. I was so seriously excited when this diaper came and ran inside to do a load of diapers right away so I could put it on Eva ASAP! 

The Diaper I got for eva is a size 2 it fits 15 lbs to 40+ lbs. The Size 1 fitted we have fits Newborn to 18 lbs. Eva is just under 15 lbs and this diaper fits great. She is on the lowest rise setting and the tabs overlap. On the size one she is on the highest rise setting (completely unsnapped) and she still has a few waist snaps to move out to. 

Eva's got little chunker legs so there is no gap at the leg holes, but if you have a thin baby who is around 14 lbs you probably want to go with the size 1, as the leg holes are smaller. 

The inside of the diaper has a snap in soaker that is so soft against her little bum! I'm almost sad to cover it with our bio degradable liners. Almost, I'm not a fan of dunk and swish and our diaper sprayer hasn't arrived yet. But when it does, I will probably stop using the liner with this diaper because its so nice and cozy on her bottom! 

The diaper is huge when completely unsnapped, I tried it on Tabitha who weighs roughly 32 lbs and she still had a few waist snaps to go so I believe that it will go to 40 lbs. 

Eva, was not all that into modeling for me when I took the pictures, She just wanted to go to sleep, no smiles from her. But she definitely gave this diaper a work out. If she's not going to sleep right after I put a fitted on her I like to let her go without a cover so he skin can breathe more. She rolled and face crawled (She still can't seem to get the hands and legs right so she uses her face to move her self along) all over our bed and there wasn't a sing gap or leak. 

I am absolutely in Love with the EG Baby Design fitted diapers, so much so that I just bought two more when she opened up a co-op order this month. 

This is one of my new diapers on the way to me!

And this is the other one. 

EG Baby design doesn't just do fitted either! Check out some of the super cute items in her store. 

This is a size 3-6 month top with a matching size 1 AI2 with a bamboo insert. 

Size 1 AI2. If it had been a size 2 I would have jumped all over this one!

This is a fitted with a tester cover. She is still working on the design of the covers, so for right now all she has available is testers.
