Baby Blessings Bamboozle Diaper review AND GIVEAWAY!

Tracey at Baby Blessings (which is based only ONE hour from my home) agreed to let me review the Bamboozle diaper she sells! If you read my blog or have caught one of my almost 17,000 tweets (addicted much?) you know, we have had some rash issues. I started feverishly looking at organic materials to diaper in and thus found Baby Blessings and the Bamboozle, which is bamboo, which is anti-bacterial!

Once it arrived, I couldn't wait to use it! BUT.....I had to, because we were still in our sposie trial week with antibiotic rash cream. Literally as soon as we ran out of sposies, she slept her 1st night in this diaper. It is so soft, but not in a velour like way, more like a bathrobe fuzzy feeling way. I covered it with an essential baby cover and put her down. I should have prefaced with the fact that Kingsley can sleep. Like 16 hours. Our first time with the diaper at night, didn't fail.....but I didn't let it. When I went in to nurse her at 2 am, I stuck a finger in and it was already SOAKED. Not the cover but the diaper was well wet. I decided to change her. I had only pre-washed the bamboo 3 times. I didn't give in and wanted to give the diaper, Baby Blessings and YOU a fair report. So, last night we tried again. THIS time, I put a microfiber insert under the bamboozle flap again covering with the essential baby. Having now been washed 6 times, this morning she was dry! Oh, and she slept from 6pm till 10am!

The Bamboozle which is made by Tots Bots in Scotland is a 4 layer bamboo fitted diaper. This diaper offers 2 sizes taking your baby from 5 lbs to 35! It has a sewn-in adjustable doubler and they recommend 10 washes to reach maximum absorbency. Line drying will always give your diapers a longer life.

Disclaimer: I did receive a Bamboozle diaper to review. I was not paid to write a good review.

A day at the pumpkin patch

I am very much aware that I have been withholding valuable, precious pictures from you. I have possibly the world's worst camera. It eats batteries like candy and has a temperament of a toddler. I'm not sure I could pay someone to take it. So without further adieu....our day at the pumpkin patch.
Disclaimer: Zealand did/would not nap prior to our arrival and therefore was almost totally unamused by anything except the dump trucks at the sand playground.

Swine flu?

So, yesterday, the day of days! My wireless printer stopped being online and I have/had oodles of ebay postage to print. It ran me late trying to fix it to our friend's 1st birthday party on the island. Well, it seems that every time we go over to the pool area, someone gets sick!
Zealand played harder than I have ever seen him! He even slid down the slide the proper way and didn't freak the whole time doing it! I carried K on my back in the ergo for a whopping 2ish hours, she just held tightly on to her drumstick and was happy as can be. (I may have a future band with the two of them) I had on my favorite peace love mom shirt, I am supposed to be reviewing, and I looked pretty darn cute in it.

We got to the car and I knew something wasn't right. My neck was super stiff and achy and I just knew "it". By the time 11 pm rolled around I had the chills so incredibly bad. Fever was only 100.9, but I think our thermometer is one degree low. I had a terrible headache and I could feel each vertebrae sticking out in pain. I almost went to the ER at about 3 am, because I knew I would have about 4 hours till the kids got up yet decided to just go back to bed. I woke up wearing my huge hot bathrobe over my pajamas and a fleece blanket and a quilt...now I've had the sweats all day....ugh. Thank God, for tylenol extra strength. I took a 5 hour nap and feel much better now that the day is coming to an end.

I have lots of review to post and lots of giveaways coming....just trying to get my timing down. Should I do a review/giveaway every (certain day)? Would you like to see consistency? You tell me!
