Sassy Pants Diapers $25 GC Giveaway!
We received two cloth diapers from Sassy Pants Handmade, the Fox print is a regular fitted and the Mustaches is a hybrid fitted. Both fitteds come with a double length soaker as well as a regular length soaker and two super soft and adorable cloth wipes. The soakers are made of heavy organic bamboo fleece and hemp fleece, they are dreamy soft and perfect for touching baby's sensitive skin. This is a perfect combination for soakers as the bamboo quickly absorbs while the hemp slowly absorbs and holds a lot of liquid. The hybrid fitted shell is made of the outer layer which has the print or embroider design, a hidden layer of polyester fleece and then an inside soft layer of organic bamboo fleece. The regular fitted is made of the same outer layer with the print or embroider design and two layers of organic bamboo fleece.

PetGiftBox.com Cat Subscription Box!
PetGiftBox is a monthly subscription based program for your furry friends. With boxes for cats or dogs, both subscriptions help you spoil your pet with delicious treats and fun toys. There may even be something inside for their human friend.
April PetGiftBox
The April PetGiftBox ($17.99ARV/month) was our first and Buddy (9 month old kitten) was the first to catch a wiff of the mysteries inside. As soon as it entered the house he attacked me in a friendly, "Mom can I have it please!" sort of manor. Now, we had just gotten home with lunch. The PetGiftBox was on the front porch waiting for us and without thinking, I brought it in the house. Needless to say, I wasn't able to finish my lunch, Buddy made sure of that!
He sniffed the box, rubbed on the box and scratched at it.Oh and rolled around, see the short video below.
The package is addressed and shipped to your furry friend(s) and the inside label is addressed to them as well! April 22nd was Earth Day, so for the April PetGiftBox they took an Earth friendly approach for the packaging and products.
TOYS!!
My furry babies received some awesome toys and tasty snacks!
I barely got the box open and Buddy snatched the Wooly Fun Feather Ball ($7.97ARV) right out of the box! It was still attached to the cardboard backing, but he didn't seem to mind. The Wooly Fun Feather Ball is handmade in Nepal by artisans. It is made chemical-free through the whole process and is filled with organic catnip.
The other toy we received that they also love is Shelby the Hemp Mouse ($6.99ARV), the little orange toy by Buddy's tail in the above photo! The cat nip was definitely strong and apparently much more appealing to not only Buddy, but also Sunshine (1.5 year old) who was soon fighting with Buddy for the mouse toy. After the boys had their fun with the toy then Chippie Cookie (momma kitty), who was still pregnant at the time had her fun with it and was not going to give it back, she was even growling (yes, cats do growl). Shelby the Hemp Mouse is made of hemp fabric and is filled with organic catnip. All three of the cats play with this one as well. Every time I see either of these toys they are either being thrown in the air by one of the cats or in a different part of the house. They approve of both toys!
Treats!
Pet Greens Deep Sea Tune Semi Moist Cat Treats ($4.89ARV) are tasty bite sized treats that contain real fish as it's first ingredient and is free of artificial flavors, colors, wheat gluten and soy. All three cats love their new Green treats! Perfect little bite sized morsels!
We also received Pet Greens Self Grow Garden ($4.49ARV), which is a pouch that grows organic greens in it's self! It is 100% certified organic wheat grass seed and soil mixture in a ready-to-grow bag. The seeds begin to grow within seven to ten days and is a delicious snack to satisfy your pets greens craving. Even reptiles can enjoy the Pet Greens Self Grow Garden! I can't seem to find my photos of this, but once I find the images, I will be sure to update this post.
Cleaning Supply
Lastly our box also contained Absolutely Clean Pet Stain & Odor Remover & More! ($3.99ARV). this removes pet stains and odors safely and effectively without any chemicals or toxins. It is made in the USA and made with all natural, plant-based ingredients. Absolutely Clean is safe for use on Carpet & Upholstery for cleaning up pet and pet food stains as well as urine odors. It's rather simple to use and can be used several different ways, directions are on the back and give eight different ways to clean up different stains and odors. We all love our pets, but sometimes they can leave us with dirty or stinky messes that aren't easily cleaned up with your average household cleaners.

Earth Day Tips from PetGiftbox
On the informational card that they include in their boxes about the products in which you receive they listed some simple ways to celebrate Earth Day! Here are a few, Recycle your pet food cans and buy the largest size for the best value and less waste. Even if your pet wont/can't eat the whole can at once, you can almost always refrigerate the extra and feed it to them at a later time or date. A great one, especially in my neighborhood with all of the dog owners is to use biodegradable poop bags and for us cat owners, use non-clay cat liter. If you're really committed, they even recommend you compost your pets waste! What are some other ways you practice being green when it comes to your pets?

She has created her own pattern which has been through lots of trial and error to perfect it. Recycled Rumps has pockets, fitteds and covers which are all specially designed with their own unique patterns. The fitteds from Recycled Rumps were designed to be a trim, but functional diaper with long wings for that perfect fit which also have lots of snaps to prevent the dreadful wing drooping. The pockets have a wider pocket area which help to fit more stuffing or better known as absorbency, the pockets also have a double row of snaps to prevent the wing drooping. As for the covers, they have leg gussets and a wide bum area made to fit over the fluffiest fitteds! Score!! Do the diapers sound amazing yet? In addition to the great diapers and covers, Recycled Rumps faithfully donates 10% of sales on items $10+ purchased, quarterly. So you get an awesome diaper, help support a great WAHM AND you help Recycled Rumps donate to a charity. Perfect!
Hybrid Fitted
Photo Credit: Recycled Rumps
We received this awesome hybrid fitted diaper from Recycled Rumps in a lycra print she has called/labeled as Tattooed ($22ARV). I absolutely love the print, but that's not even close to all that I love about this diaper nor is it the thing I love most about it anymore! When I first seen it, I just loved the print and knew nothing about the amazing absorbency nor the uber soft and plushness of this diaper.
First things first, what this diaper is made of... the outer layer is a lycra knit. The inner lining is microchamois, which for those who are unfamiliar with this fabric as was I... it is an ultra-soft pill resistant lightweight fleece, like microfleece, but better. It is so very soft and silky smooth! I think I have become addicted to this fabric just from this diaper... anyhow back to the materials of the diaper! Each fitted comes with a trifold insert, which could be zorb or bamboo. We received the HOBF trifold insert which is topped with a layer of microchamois and a smaller booster or small insert that is also topped with microchamois. The photo below is the trifold insert and the booster/small insert. What I like most about the booster/small insert is that it is perfect for both boys and girls and helps you customize the absorbency a bit as you can place it further in the front for boys or in the middle for girls to maximize the absorbency in your babe's wet zone.
I could feel the plushness and what had to be absolutely amazing absorbency right away in this diaper! So I put it to the ultimate test. First and foremost it had to fit my 40 pound 3.5 year old and it DID! Perfectly with TONS of room to grow and you can see in the far right photo below I even used a cross over snap on the wings. Then came the even harder test for this diaper... Cade had to be able to wear this diaper through out the entire night and wake up unsoaked. Seriously, momma is tired of washing his bedding daily or near to it.
Just as I had thought, this diaper held up amazingly well for Cade over night! In fact the outer layer nor the cover I used over this fitted were even damp! So after it came back out of the wash, instead of trying it on Ezio as I normally would, I just had to try this fitted again on Cade, but this time I put it on him at nap time with no cover and again he woke up with out a single leak. He usually takes about a 3 hours nap, he doesn't sleep the whole time, but we use this time as a quiet rest time while Ezio is napping... who actually sleeps the full 3 hours. So, Cade was awake for quite a while out of those 3 hours and he had a cup of juice just before laying down. I was so pleased with both results and I did venture and get gutsy and put this fitted on him for bedtime without a cover at all... eek, why would I do such a thing?! Because I knew just how awesome this fitted diaper is! He woke up that morning dry as well.
I was so pleased that this diaper not only fit Cade great, but also held up over night without a cover! That is pretty much unheard of! I absolutely love fitted diapers, but I'm often sad when it gets to be nap or bedtime or we have to run somewhere and I have to put a cover over it so for him to be able to sleep in the diaper without a cover I am pretty sure we could run a quick errand in this fitted and not have a leak, but compression leaks are kind of tricky.
I did try this fitted diaper on Ezio... once... because I love it on Cade and he has less diapers, but the same thing went for Ezio when he got to wear it. No leaks and he wore it over night. I discovered in the morning that the inner layer of the diaper was actually dry and I totally could have put a prefold or something else inside of it just to enjoy the awesome print a bit longer before it went into the pail, however I did not. When I used this diaper on Ezio, I did snap down the rise and I also used the cross over tabs like I did with Cade. I probably could have closed the cross over tabs one more in, but I didn't want to make it too tight as he was wearing it to bed and I know I don't like anything to be tight on me when I sleep.
If you already have not discovered it... we simply love this diaper! Every last thing about it!

Turtle Soup Company is home of 5 star rated swimwear, playtime clothing, diapering items as well as the things you'll need to start the potty training journey with your little one. Turtle Soup Co. houses the creative designers who not only design the products, but also construct everything that is made for their patrons around the globe.
Our TSCO Boxers!!
We received 3 PAK of Wee Beginner Boxers ($33ARV) as well as a pair of Wee Woolie Boxers ($24ARV) and a three pack of Wee Woolie Boosters ($12ARV)! What an awesome potty training package! All of these boxers as well as the booster are well made and as you can see absolutely adorable!
Wee Beginner Boxers
Our 3 PAK of Wee Beginner Boxers from Turtle Soup Co. are a variety of their three absorbencies and we received one size 2-3T and two sizes 3-4T. First off, they are definitely true to size! The 2-3T fits Ezio perfectly and the same for Cade when wearing the size 3-4T. When ordering from Turtle Soup Co. you can choose your absorbency, size and even the fabric prints you'd like your little Wee Beginner Boxers in.
The three levels of absorbency:
Regular Absorbency: has a double puddle pad soaker which works for both little girls and boys. This is enough to keep a stream of urine from penetrating straight through the layers, however there may be soaking for a heavy wetter, but should prevent urine from running down your little ones legs.
Naptime Absorbency: has double the absorbency that the regular has and is a better option for heavier wetters.
Naptime Barrier Absorbency: this one also has the double absorbency as well as a water proof barrier to prevent puddles and so your little one can nap in their big boy/girl undies! This option provides more security when your child is sitting on furniture or carpeting.
Turtle Soup Co. understands the importance of the "wet" feeling during potty training. You're child needs to be able to feel that they have wet themselves so TSCO has made all of their trainers with a soft cotton inner and outer layer.
So onto our experiences with these trainers... they are AWESOME! Both Cade and Ezio are currently in the potty training phase. We've tried many times in the past with Cade, but he never fully potty trained. Which is fine, because I'm almost certain that Ezio is doing so well in his potty training adventure because Cade is potty training as well and definitely vise versa as well! Cade had one accident in his Wee Beginners Boxers and he was wearing the ones with the Nap-time Absorbency. He didn't pee straight through with a large puddle on the floor, just a little bit trickled down his legs and I think that is because he is slimmer so I probably should have gone with the slim fit that is available. That would have helped because then the leg bands would have been a bit tighter which should not have allowed the pee to trickle down his legs. This is definitely my fault, not the Wee Beginners Trainers. Cade also had a poop accident in his Wee Beginners Boxers with the Naptime Barrier, there was NO leak or mess (beyond what would have to be cleaned up in a cloth diaper).
I am so very excited for both of the boys taking on this awesome adventure and journey and I am also so thrilled that they get to experience it together and they even help each other out with things like opening the door, grabbing the little seat for the big toilet, flushing the toilet, etc. Ezio just turned two years old in December, he has seemed as though he may be ready for this adventure since he was about 15-18 months old, but even now at 2 years old he doesn't really talk much. Most of today Ezio was able to pull his Wee Beginner Boxers down by himself and sit on his potty chair to go potty! It was awesome and amazing! I was am so proud of both of the boys!!
Ezio did have one accident in his Wee Beginners Boxers with the regular absorbency, he was sitting on my lap and honestly I didn't even notice right away that he has an accident! It took a bit for the urine to come through and the only place that is did was in the middle along the seam. However, it could just be because he was sitting with his dead weight and his bum on my leg. There have been no puddles or even a trickle down the leg with Ezio wearing these boxers. I love that they are easy enough even for Ezio to take off quickly while in a hurry and then for him to also put back on himself. Cade has the same ease of use, but there is an 18 month age difference between the two.
Washing these Wee Beginner Boxers is super easy, personally I just toss them in the diaper pail with our cloth diapers if they have been soiled. If your little one has a bowel movement in a pair, as did Cade, you just turn them inside out and spray them out as you would a cloth diaper. Super easy!
Wee Woolie Boxers w/Boosters
Turtle Soup's Wee Woolie Boxers are great as covers over cloth diapers as well as over their Wee Beginners Boxers! They are made with Merino, Cashmere, Angora and soft Lambswool, all of which are non-itchy and these can be used in both summer and winter as wool is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Did you know that wool can hold nearly 40% of it's own weight in fluids and not even feel wet? It also allows moisture to evaporate and air easily flows through the fibers. The natural antibacterial properties make it great for cloth diapers as well as potty training, if the soaker is not completely soaked, the wool can continue to be used for up to 7 days. To wash Wee Woolie Boxers and Boosters you just hand wash in luke warm water with a wool wash, roll in a towel and then hang dry or lay them out flat to dry. Try to avoid washing them in the washer as agitation and too warm/hot of water can cause your wool to felt.
I am seriously jealous and wish I had a pair of Wool Boxers! They are so very soft and I can only begin to imagine how comfortable they must be. Both of the boys have sensitive skin and eczema, Cade's sensitive skin is worse and Ezio's eczema is worse then Cade's. Wool is amazing for both of their skins and does not cause any irritation! In fact when in diapers if either of them had a rash I knew I just needed to put them in a fitted diaper and toss a wool soaker over it. This usually cleared up the rash pretty quickly. I know it's also pretty common for children who are potty trained or whom are going through the journey sometimes develop rashes as well, these would be perfect for helping to get rid of that or even preventing them as wool is so breathable.
Once Cade better master's using the toilet through out the day and wakes up a few times dry I will use these over his Wee Beginners Boxers with the Naptime Barrier. He's such a heavy wetter I have been putting him in a cloth diaper at nap and bedtime, I don't have enough bedding for him to accidentally soak his bed twice in such a short period of time. Thankfully with Cade and Ezio both, putting a cloth diaper on them does not affect the potty training progress at all, in fact it seemed to help make them want to go on the toilet even more as they wanted to put undies back on.
I give all of our Turtle Soup Co. boxers our proud thumbs up as they are helping us along out journey of potty training... not just one, but two boys! It can be a bit hectic sometimes, but we always manage through it all. We have not had any serious issue with these products and they have all (except wool, I haven't washed) washed up really well!

their daughter, Suzanne had 88 acres of open land in Culpeper, VA with a
house and a small barn as well. The Lawson's spent 2 years fencing and
cross fencing with electrified wire to create 10 paddocks on 45 acres to

constructed in each paddock. Along with orchard grass and red clover
planting for grazing. The additional 35 acres were planted in alfalfa,
which is then cut for winter hay.
The Lawson's began making apparel from sheepskin and selling them to
friends and at local craft shows in 1984. This business grew rapidly and
today Lawson Sheepskins are sold at major arts and craft shoes, through
mail orders as well as on their website Lawson's Sheepskins.

Sheepskin Baby Rug/Pad
Sheepskin Baby Pad ($124ARV) can be used as a cushiony pad for baby to sleep on or as a rug for baby to play on. This baby pad is a short pile sheepskin with an ultra high density of one and a half inches of wool fiber length. You can use these in playpens, strollers, car seats, on picnics and so much more! It is made in the USA. This large baby pad measures approximately 30" by 42". Air circulates through the wool fibers making the baby pad warm in the winter and cool in the summer, it is also urine resistant.
I have our sheepskin baby pad in Ezio's pack n play, where he sleeps. I just lay him directly on the sheepskin and he seems to really love it. The unique shape of the sheepskin pad is great as his head lays at the left and then he sleeps with his legs all over the place to the right. He was having trouble sleeping and it may be coincidence, but once we received this pad he seemed to sleep so much better. This sheepskin pad is so soft, I want one for my own bed!
Even the kittens love it! Since we have hardwood floors I often bring this out and place it on the floor for the kids to sit on while playing so it's a bit more comfortable. When the kids run off to play else where the kittens don't miss a beat and are on the pad within minutes and sound asleep! The small Sheepskin Baby Pad would make a great pet bed. I was a bit nervous when they were first sniffing it out, but they just wanted to sleep on it.
It fits a 2 year old, 8 year old and two kittens! lol. When Ezio is barefoot, he likes squeezing his toes in the wool, kind of like when your at the beach and move your toes and dig them into the sand. We all really like the sheepskin baby pad and I can't wait until I can get a large sheepskin rug for my living room! I bet it would keep my feet nice and warm in the winter. We live in an old house and have horrible drafts during the winter, plus we live at the end of a t-intersection so the wind hitting the front of our house is absolutely horrible! Anyhow, back to this baby pad! Sometimes Ezio prefers to sleep in just a diaper, he has food allergies we are trying to figure out and he often has hives on his body which I believe clothes make him more itchy or possibly could be a bit painful so with this mat, I feel better about putting him to sleep in just a diaper during the winter as the wool pad along with his organic cotton blanket will keep him nice and warm, but at the same time the wool pad won't cause him to over heat if he is wearing a fleece sleeper like in the photos above.
With this fleece pad it's really a win, win situation! What better then all of the above out of one natural product? I have definitely found a new form of love with wool/sheepskin! I never had experience with wool until we started cloth diapering and it is amazing for diapering as well as clearing up rashes and such, but now discovering the softness of sheepskin and how it has the same abilities it's just that much more awesome!

Classic Tall Sheepskin Boots
Heavenly Soles Classic Tall Sheepskin Boots ($195ARV) available in 4 colors, Sand, Chestnut, Chocolate and Black. They are of about mid-calf height and so very soft and comfortable! These boots have an Australian heritage which dates back to the 1900's. The wool properties of genuine Twin Faced Sheepskin upper wicks moisture away from your feet to ensure that your feet stay warm when the weather is cold and cool when the weather is warm! Wool is really magical for many different purposes. These boots were first made popular by the Australian Surfers and it is now one of the most popular boot styles world wide today!
I am in love with these boots! I've never really been a fan of boots of any kind, really I much prefer to be barefoot and not even wear socks. Yes, even in the freezing cold, Wisconsin winter months! However, I rarely take these off and when I do, I quickly remember just how cold it really is. They are a bit snug at first, but just like any other shoe they will stretch and form more to your foot. In fact these will probably even more or better as they are made of sheepskin! I've never owned anything sheepskin and I all I can do is continue to ask myself WHY I have not owned anything made of sheepskin prior to these boots. I have quickly began to appreciate the sheepskin for it's warmth as well as it's "wicking" abilities as they have kept my feet warm and dry. This is pretty important if you don't want to walk around the grocery store or wherever your going after putting your child in the car, on the passenger side of the vehicle on a city street where the curb is ankle deep in snow! Oh, being able to sit down in the car without frozen toes and not having to walk funny through the store or wherever our errands have landed us are definitely a plus! As a mother of three and two of those three being toddlers, I really have no time to waste! The boys of course don't like being tossed back and forth, in and out of their car seats and shopping carts or even our carrier so the faster I can move and get things done the happier everyone will be. The mid-calf height is also great for this as snow is much less likely to drop into or fill your shoe.
Jedilynn, my nearly 8 year old daughter is not all to pleased with me that these boots are not hers. She received a pair of fuzzy boots for Christmas last year and loved them, but as she seems to be in a CONTINUOUS growth spurt they no longer fit her. She so badly wants and has tried to guilt trip me into giving them to her a few times now by asking me, "What? Do you want my feet to freeze when I'm waiting for the bus in the morning?" and so on. She is my sassy girl. I may let her try them on and see how big they are on her. I am able to fit my feet into her size 5 shoes!
I wear a size 9 in mens, I usually wear mens shoes as most womens shoes are too narrow and/or just too girly for my liking. I wear the same size in these boots, size 9 in mens which is a size 10 in womens. They fit me great and I know I will have them "broken in" in no time.
Disclosure: I received the above boots in exchange for my honest review. All opinions and experiences expressed in this post are my own and may differ from those of your own.
