Weedle Weedle

If you read my last post, you know that I've become an affiliate for Just Simply Baby...  Well, I've also become an affiliate for Weedle Weedle!  I'm so excited to have TWO great companies to share with you!  I have spent many many months shopping around trying to find the best companies to purchase from with the lowest prices while maintaining the quality that I expect. 

Weedle Weedle has everything from cloth diapers to toys to laundry detergent to diaper and hand bags and more!  Weedle Weedle was formed out of a mother's desire to leave the corporate workplace and stay home with her children, yet still be connected to the business world.  ALL of the products Weedle Weedle sells are products that they recommend because they have either personally used them or because they are recognized as the "best of the best" within the natural parenting/cloth diapering circles.

They have a great customer rewards program, wonderful customer service and a price matching guarentee (something I always look for!).  I personally am a big fan of shopping around for the best price or free shipping on products, whatever is going to save me the most amount of money for my family (and I'm sure you are too!)... Weedle Weedle helps take the guess work out of it.  You'll find nothing but great products with competitive prices and FREE SHIPPING! 

Go check them out and enjoy your shopping experience!  Click the below logo or the logo on the banner to the right to go to their website and have my affiliate code automatically entered for you!



Enjoy your shopping!

Just Simply Baby

Guess what everyone... I've just become a Just Simply Baby affiliate!  I'm so excited to share this with you!  I LOVE this company.  I found them a few months ago and finally completed my first order, noticed they have an affiliate program... and (after talking with the hubby, of course) decided to become an affiliate!

Why do I love this company?
I love this company for many reasons, first... it's in the name Just SIMPLY Baby...  They are all about cloth diapering being SIMPLE.  These are not your mother's or your grandmother's diapers!  They are just as easy as using disposables, but better!  They are reusable!  I also love them because they are Christian based (peek around their website and see what you find!).  A WHAM, Katie, developed Just Simply Baby because she wanted "a good diaper at a great price."  And, if I do say so myself, she was quite successful!

About JSB:
Great diapers at great prices.  EVERY diaper comes with TWO (yes, I said two) microfiber inserts... and note, it's not a newborn insert and regular insert... it is two regular inserts (both snap down to fit the appropriate size).  They offer FREE shipping to military families (see their website for details).  They only work during the week, during their working hours, the rest of their time is for their family's (another thing I love!).  Their diapers can be used as swim diapers (awesome!!), just don't put an insert in... Lastly, they have a wonderful 30 day return policy, if you're not happy just contact them and return the diaper's NO QUESTIONS ASKED!  They can be un-packaged, washed and used... and they will still take them back!

If you place an order, please use my affiliate code...  you'll get a 5% discount AND I will get credit!  My code is: ARCOL  


So, click here to go to Just Simply Baby and place an order with this AMAZING company!

Happy Heinys

I recently purchased a couple of Happy Heinys One for ALL diapers from Milies Boutique (great little online boutique with a great owner, you should check her out!) because I've heard such great things about them!  A couple of things that I liked right away without every having seen their diapers:

1.  They are from Southern California (I know this isn't really a selling point, but hey, I'm from SoCal too... keep it local! Haha!).  And what's better ALL of their diapers are made right there in SoCal!  Amazing, 100% American Made right there!

2. They don't sell their seconds diapers.  Now, I know that many of us frugal mama's like shopping for seconds (because who really cares if a stitch is out of place when you are on a tight budget, right?!)... and I would love to get my hands on some more HH diapers...  but I LOVE that they don't sell their seconds...  They DONATE them!  Yup, you heard me right;  Happy Heinys donates ALL of their seconds diapers to families in need.  To me, that is way better than getting a diaper cheaper because it wasn't made 100% correctly.  They made the decision to do this way back in October of 2003 when fires rampaged California (I remember them well!).  Well done!


When I received the two HHs I ordered, my first impression was how soft they were!  I was so excited to try them on my DS so I quickly put them in the wash (side note: you don't have to wash them a bunch of times before you use them, just once!  Of course, the more you wash them, the more absorbant they get... they only suggested thing is to change your baby a little more often until you've washed them a few times). 

Once I had the diaper on my DS, I was sold!  I was amazed at how trim this diaper is (especially compared to the prefolds I had been using!) and how well it fit my chubby chugs/skinny waist/no butt boy! 



My DS is 7 months old and weighs about 18 lbs so I have the diapers snapped down just one size.  I love the double row and layer snaps to secure the diaper on, meaning you can get just the right fit.  I also love that whether my DS is sitting down playing or standing and bouncing, the diaper moves with him and there are never any leaks!


Needless to say, I was already impressed with this diaper... but then I put it to the test... the overnight test!  My DS is a heavy wetter (mostly due to the fact that he loves to night nurse and he still wakes up multiple times a night...  ) and so far, we haven't found much that will keep him dry all night.  This diaper did the trick on a normal night (where he wakes up twice to nurse).  I put both of the inserts in with the longer insert folded over the smaller one (just slightly) and put the bulky part in front of the pocket... and when we woke up the next moring, our bed was dry and he was dry!  Hooray!  (*little side note, the HH diaper did not stand up to DS nursing ALL night long... however, like many say "a diaper is only as good as the stuffing inside" lol...  I don't think any diaper can hold up to that and therefore if you have a baby that periodically likes to nurse all night long, you will want to plan on changing their diaper half way through the night, just to make sure they stay dry and comfortable and you don't have any extra laundry to do!)

Would I recommend this diaper to a friend?  Yes I would, 100% percent!  But try it out for yourself!  Before buying a huge stash of any diaper, you should always try out a couple first... just to make sure it works for your baby and you!  Visit Happy Heinys today and find a retailer nearest you or online!

*I purchased the diapers that I reviewed and I was in no way compensated by any of the companies mentioned in this blog.  I was also not asked to write this blog by anyone.  This blog was written by me and the opinions within are my own.  If you have any questions, please email me at 1flufffanatic@gmail.com.

Chocolate Hair / Vanilla Care

Hi friends,

I know I mostly share about fluff and life with an infant with you but I will, from time to time, share great blogs I've found or blogs I've been introduced to or my friends' blogs...  Right now, I want to share my friends' blog with you...  Chocolate Hair / Vanilla Care.  In her blog my friend, Rory, chronicles her life as an adoptive vanilla mama to a chocolate girl.  Rory and her husband adopted their daughter "Boo" when she was just 6 days old.  They are such a wonderful family that were made to be together!  Rory does AMAZING hair styles on Boo and teaches her readers how to do them too!  Now, I don't have a daughter that I can do these hair styles on, but Rory also shares lots of other great things with her readers, like I recently learned a LOT from her regarding sunscreen, search her blog for it! 

Here's what Rory says about her blog: "In addition to chronicling everyday activities such as growing hair, products, and step-by-step instructions, I also talk about what it means to be a vanilla mama of a chocolate girl, and how we explore identity, respect, and empowerment, using hair as our common language."  She really is a great mama and wonderful person!

If you are interested in learning about adoption or how to do chocolate hair, Rory & her blog are a great resource!  Please go check out her blog and follow if it is of interest to you (and do please share with others!). 

Also, check out Rory's giveaway!  She won an Apple iTouch and she's going to give it away to one lucky reader!  Here's the link to her giveaway: http://www.chocolatehairvanillacare.com/2011/06/im-sharing-my-winnings-with-one-of-you.html  Hurry though, the giveaway ends on Thursday, June 30th at 5:00pm PDT!

But please don't stop at the giveaway, check out the rest of her great blog!  You'll enjoy it!
