I always try to find more ways to make cloth diapering fun. Mommy's Lil Monkey is a company that definitely makes cloth diapering more exciting. They have so many different kinds of diaper liners and cloth wipes in all different kinds of funky prints.
I pretty much dread changing my daughter's diaper because she always twists and turns on me; therefore, it's like wrestling with a large slippery fish! However, when I hand her one of the flannel bright and colorful baby wipes from Mommy's Lil Monkey, she stays still for me like she has been put into a trance.
The flannel large baby wipes (5 by 5) are great for real icky messes, and the flannel smaller wipes are perfect for a quick wipe here and there. Plus they both fit in a plastic baby wipes container!
My favorite baby wipe from Mommy's Lil Monkey is the flannel / terry wipe. There is a fun flannel print on one side with a matching color terry cloth fabric on the other side. These are a bit bigger (bulkier) than the regular flannel baby wipes; however, I love that these wipes have a texture to them - great for getting really really really sticky messes away.
I really like that Mommy's Lil Monkey makes a bunch of different cloth liners because every baby is different. They have two layer liners and four layer liners; therefore, if you have a heavy wetter on your hands, you can get the heavier liners. The heavier liners are not only great for heavy wetters, but they are also great for overnight as well. All of the diaper liners work really well; however, the fleece liners in my opinion rank number one. They are so soft and have high absorbency! Plus, the prints are so fun to look at.
I can boldly say that I look forward to diaper changing time with my daughter now that I have so many fun and funky choices to choose from. Diaper changing in my house is now a grand event rather than a drag! Visit www.mommysmonkey.etsy.com to make your child's diaper changing time exciting for everyone.
Hoodies. Everyone loves hoodies! They are so comfortable, cute, and they pretty much go with anything. I am a hoodie fein and literally own atleast fifteen myself. So, when I came across a company that makes hoodies for children, I got over the top excited. This means that I can now start dressing my daughter in hoodies as well!
Kaya Now is a company that makes beautiful hoodies for babies and toddlers. Not only are they amazing in craftsmanship, but they are also organic - meaning they are extremely soft and light weight.
There are two different kinds of hoodies that you can purchase. One is a sleeveless hoodie and the other is the standard long sleeve hoodie. My favorite is the short sleeve hoodie. It is a great top by itself for the summer months, and makes a great layering peice for the winter months.
I think that it is really awesome that Kaya Now packages their hoodies in handmade reusable drawstring bags made from recycled fabrics. In essence, you are getting two products for one price. You get such a marvelous peice of clothing as well as a neat storage bag for anything and everything!
www.KayaNow.etsy.com is the place to go to find the most adorable, comfortable, and eco-friendly hoodies for your little ones. These hoodies are priced so perfectly for such high quality hoodies that you don't want to miss out on these puppies!
In my opinion, all-in-one cloth diapers are the most easiest to use. It's like using a disposable, but washing it instead of throwing it away. Now take a cloth diaper that is easy to use and add some punk rock, goth, or designer fabrics to it and voila - the most happening cloth diaper around!
The Eli Monster has the most happening diapers on the market. They have the most hip and trendy fabrics to choose from for the outer most layer like skulls and cross bones, racing stripes and numbers, nautical stars, etc. Not only are the fabrics awesome to look at, but they also feel like high quality fabric! Plus the tattoo star logo sewn on the front of the diaper adds such a rockin finishing touch.
Under the fantastic outer fabric is the waterproof PUL to keep moisture where it belongs - inside. The Eli Monster uses soft suedecloth as the fabric that touches the baby's skin because it pulls wetness to the inner most layer that has a very absorbent microcloth for the soaker. I love that there are aplix closures because you can adjust the diaper to fit a skinny baby or a chubby baby! Plus, when you wash these babies, you just have to fold over the velcro to the laundry tabs so that the velcro will not pull the other laundry.
Check out www.TheEliMonster.etsy.com today to see why I have fallen head over heals in love with these cloth diapers. They are super adorable, easy to use, and eco-friendly - what's not to love!
You wouldn't think that a baby or toddler wearing recycled plastic bottles in their hair would be cute, right? Well, guess again. Two Punky Peas has the most amazing hair clips made from ecospun felt. Ecospun felt is made from recycled plastic bottles; however, you can't tell from looking at it!
My absolute favorite clip is the Love Trees Felt Snap Hair Clip. When your child is wearing this clip, everyone will know that you and your child love the environment. Plus the little tree with the heart in the middle is just too adorable to pass up! The clip is not only adorable, but it also stays put. My daughter has very little hair; however, the clip is perfect for little to no hair. Obviously it will work better with a child who has more hair, but it does work on very little hair as well!
You can choose from a wide variety of pretty hair clips from Two Punky Peas like the the yummy fruit salad collection, the beautiful custom made flowers, or even holiday clips. Each felt clip can be made on an alligator clip or a ponytail holder or even both - so many options!
All of the clips from Two Punky Peas are priced so perfectly that you can stock up on them without putting a dent in your wallet. Buying these clips will not only add a spark to your child's style, but they will also be making a fashion statement by wearing recycled plastic bottles in their hair. Visit www.twopunkypeas.etsy.com to give your child(ren) the perfect eco-friendly accessory today!
Sew Bee It Couture has the softest and cutest fleece diaper soakers. They come in all different sizes from small to xlarge, and there are so many fun and different prints to choose from. You can also get the regular fleece soakers, the pant fleece soakers, or even the most adorable skirties fleece soakers. I am a very indecisive person, so with there being so many fantastic choices, it's so hard for me to come to a decision; therefore, I want them all!
The soakers from Sew Bee It Couture are so adorable that you can put your child in just a diaper with the soaker and you're all set for the day! These soakers fit over any fitted diaper or prefold diaper. Plus, you can also put them on over a normal diaper as well just for the fun of it.
The Sew Bee It Couture's soakers are priced anywhere from $7.00 to $13.00 each. This is great because you can get a few of the regular for summer, a few of the pants for winter, and a few of the skirties for spring and fall!
So, let's recap. Sew Bee It Couture has amazing soakers for outstanding prices! Go get yours now at www.sewbeeitcouture.etsy.com.
In my opinion, hats, headbands, belts, etc. are so adorable on babies. So, when you find accessories for babies that are not only adorable, but they are also organic and eco-friendly, then you have hit the jack pot!
Nuala Clothing and Accessories makes the most beautiful crocheted accessories for babies as well as adults. My favorite is the child's organic crocheted hat with a bill. This hat is super soft making me want to snuggle up with it! Once you put it on your little one, you will fall head over heals in love with it. When I took my daughter out in public with her hat, everyone stopped us and asked us where we got it from because they thought it was too darling. You can't get any better than $15.00 for such an uber cute and eco-friendly baby hat!
Not only does Nuala Clothing and Accessories make the most precious accessories for babies, but they also make hip and trendy accessories for adults as well. You can get any hat for any size head in any color that you want! You can also get crocheted belts, headbands, scarves, and bags.

We have so many cloth diapers for our daughter in all different sizes that it is not even funny; therefore, we are always sorting and resorting when she grows out of a certain size. Do you or anyone that you know of have the same issue? Well, you can put a stop to that today with the BumGenius 3.0 one size cloth diapers.
These diapers definitely make cloth diapering less of a hassle. One diaper will fit a baby from 7 to 35 lbs. What a genius idea; hence, the name BumGenius! This is great because you won't have so much clutter and sorting all the time. You just need a few to rotate through till laundry day.
I love that this diaper has small rounded stretch to fit touch tape closures. It definitely makes the diaper look less bulky with the tabs being smaller! Plus the stretchy closures allows for a great fit for a skinny baby or chubby baby.
The BumGenius diaper comes with two microfiber inserts. One is for an infant so that the diaper is less bulky, and the other is for when the baby grows out of the infant setting. This is perfect because once the baby moves on to the larger size, you can use the smaller microfiber insert as extra absorbency!
I highly recommend this diaper! It is way less bulky than most cloth diapers, has a perfect fit, and your child can wear them from infancy to potty training. You are definitely getting your money's worth when you purchase these fabulous diapers. Visit www.cottonbabies.com to get your baby the most amazing cloth diapers ever invented.
Jazz up lunch with QwertyO's no trash lunch kit. Their cloth lunch bags are the perfect alternative to the paper lunch sacks because you can use these over and over again. I love that they won't rip like the paper bags, plus you will save money by just throwing it in the wash instead of throwing it away!
Each of QwertyO's lunch kits comes with five cloth napkins one for every day of the week. It also comes with one sandwich bag and two snack baggies. If you need insulation for your food, just add a cold drink.
There are three different buttons on the front to accommodate for large lunches or small lunches. Therefore, these lunch sacks will fit perfectly in backpacks, purses, diaper bags, etc.
At $16.50 per bag, you can buy one for everyone in the family! This is such a creative way to stop all the plastic and paper circling the earth. Visit www.QwertyO.etsy.com to get the most adorable lunch sacks today!
If you are new to the whole cloth diapering extravaganza, then you are probably a little bit overwhelmed like I was in the beginning. Some of the concerns that I had are "do I choose all-in-one diapers, fitted diapers, pocket diapers, etc.?" "Do I choose aplix closures or snap closures?" "What sizes will I need?" If you have these same concerns, then I want to let you know that the company Twig and Vine can help you.
This company offers a fantastic diaper starter package that can get you and your child well on your way to the cloth diapering world. Each package comes with your choice of 6 diapers in the all-in-one style or the pocket style or a mix of both. You can get them in the boy package, the girl package or the gender neutral package. I highly recommend these diapers because they are made with such amazing perfection, plus they provide a wonderful fit for your little one(s)!
Twig and Vine also includes a very adorable wet bag to store the wet and / or soiled diapers. This bag is perfect for your long outings from the house. I was able to put three dirty diapers in my daughters wet bag with plenty of room for more. Plus the bag kept all of the icky smells inside!
The starter package also comes with 12 nicely sized cloth wipes that are super soft and really cute. I love that these wipes are fairly large because you can use them for just about anything! Throw a couple in the diaper bag, and you have yourself a burp cloth, a baby wipe, a napkin, and the list goes on.
Not only does Twig and Vine offer a great deal on diaper starter packages, but they also offer each of the diaper package items separately. This is great for those of you who have already entered into the cloth world, but want to jazz it up a bit. There are so many adorable prints to choose from that it makes me want to buy them all!

Green To Grow offers very cute plastic baby bottles. Yes, I said plastic; however, you don't have to worry! These babies are chemical free. In fact, they are made from PES plastic that is not only safe for your precious baby, but it also gives off a natural golden color making it uber cute and different from your standard chemically inclined plastic baby bottles.
These baby bottles are easy to hold due to the shape of the bottle - making it easy for babies to grip.

So, if you don't want the hassle of worrying about glass baby bottles breaking, or plastic baby bottles leaching harmful chemicals, then choose the golden Green To Grow bottles at www.greentogrow.com.
When I hear the word bunny, I think of adorable, cuddly and soft. Bunny Bumz did an outstanding job when they decided to name their cloth diaper company because their diapers are just that - adorable, cuddly, and soft!
These pocket diapers have an outer layer of the cutest fabric with PUL lining the inside meaning it is waterproof. The inner most layer is made of the softest cotton sherpa, and the inserts are made of highly absorbent zorb. Zorb is light weight, less bulky and hold 10 times its weight in liquid. There are snaps for closure which in my opinion are the best kind of closures on cloth diapers. They eliminate having to pull the velcro off of other laundry when the cycle is complete.
Bunny Bumz diapers fit my daughter perfectly! The snaps are placed in a way that you can choose the settings to fit your baby's legs as well as their waist. This is great because we all know that babies grow extremely fast; therefore, these diapers accomodate for your little sprout!
If you are looking for cloth diapers with the perfect fit and are as soft and adorable as a bunny, then visit www.sewchild.etsy.com or www.bunnybumz.com. You can also check out their other great products like the pacifier leashes, footwear, bibs, burp cloths and handmade tags.

I really enjoyed working with Roly Poly Crafts to get the cutest cloth pocket diaper for my daughter that reflects my personality! This diaper company lets your imagination go wild by allowing you to pick and choose the color of the outer layer, the color of the inner layer, and the color of the snaps for your child's cloth diapers.
Roly Poly Crafts created their pocket diapers by combining a bunch of aspects from other cloth diapers that actually worked and that they liked as well as a few of their own ideas - creating the most fabulous fitting diaper! They have a waterproof outer layer that keeps the wetness locked inside the diaper where it belongs. The inner layer is made from suedecloth that has excellent wicking abilities to draw wetness away from baby to the middle of the diaper.
Roly Poly inserts which make up the inner most layer of the diaper are phenomenal! They are made out of organic hemp / cotton fleece; therefore, they are very absorbent as well as very strong. The hemp also prevents harmful bacteria to form because of the naturally occuring antimicrobial properties. Plus, the more the inserts are washed, the better the absorbency and the softer it becomes!
You can create your own diaper from Roly Poly Crafts, or you can choose already made diapers from a large variety of adorable prints. They also offer really cute wet bags, grower diapers, pocket diaper starter packs, cloth wipes, as well as extra hemp / cotton fleece soakers. Visit www.rolypolycrafts.etsy.com to see all the great products that you can purchase for your little roly poly today.
Happy Baby is the natural baby care line from Shasta EsScents. They make Happy Baby Soap, Happy Baby Oil, and Happy Butt Ointment.
I really like the Happy Baby Soap because it smells so delicious. It is made with natural essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, and camomile; therefore, it creates a calming aromatherapy to help your little one settle down. Normally my baby girl kicks and splashes all the way to the very end of her bath; however, when I used the Happy Baby Soap on her, she began rubbing her eyes right in the middle of her bath - great for putting your little ones to bed! I also want to point out that this soap is very mild; therefore, you can use it on babies (or anyone for that matter) with very sensitive skin.
Not only does Shasta EsScents' Baby Soap smell delicious, but the Happy Butt Ointment also smells heavenly. The Happy Butt Ointment is made from many special oils and butters that work together to heal and calm irritated skin. This ointment is so amazing that I am tempted to use it on my baby even when she does not need it just because of the silky texture and the sweet aroma! You can use it on your baby as well as anyone with chaffed or irritated skin!
The Happy Baby Oil works wonders. Not only does it smell so fresh, but it is also very light unlike most oils. It is made from organic jojoba oil which is known for skin nourishment. After I gave my daughter a gentle massage with this oil, my hands were so soft and silky without being greasy! The lavender essential oil in this baby oil smells so sweet, and helps you and your baby relax while being nourished.
Shasta Esscents sells each of these products separately or in the Happy Baby Gift Set. I highly recommend these products not only for your baby, but also for you and the entire family. They smell so amazing while providing gentle care for your skin. Check it out for yourself at www.ShastaEsScents.etsy.com.
I always have a fear of washing my daughter's bottles, cups, bowls, etc. with normal liquid dish soap. I think to myself: "What if I don't rinse all of the soap away?" "Will she get sick?" "Will the scent that lingers on her dishes hurt her?" Let's just say, I got sick of worrying, so I took matters into my own hands, and found the answer to my problem. Dapple!
Dapple is a company that makes baby-safe cleaning products. Inspired by their own children, Tamar and Dana wanted to create safe cleaning solutions for washing bottles, nipples, cups, etc so that when their children put those items in their mouths, they would be safe from harmful chemicals. Dapple makes liquid dish soap as well as automatic dishwasher detergent.
The liquid dish soap is a very gentle soap made from natural-based ingredients; therefore, you no longer have to worry about your baby ingesting harsh chemicals. It works well to get rid of milk and food from your baby's dishes as well as your own dishes! Plus it is biodegradable, so you can feel great about using it everyday because it is safe for our environment. I love that Dapple uses pure lavender essential oil to fragrance the soap. It definitely makes hand-washing dishes much more pleasant and very relaxing. Also, I found that when I was done cleaning my little one's bottles, it only took a couple of rinses to get rid of the soap - very convenient for when you have a lot of bottles to wash!
So, if you're ready to stop worrying about washing your child's dishes with harmful chemicals, then check out www.dapplebaby.com. Also, next on Dapple's agenda is a baby-safe toy cleaner; therefore, check back often to be one of the first one's to get another amazing product!
Sunshine Salad makes the most adorable patchwork dresses for little girls.

Drybees and Wahmies. You're probably wondering what they are, right? Well, before we get into the details, I want to first applaud the singular owner of these two separate and very creative diaper companies. She began making cloth diapers for her companies after her children were put to bed at night - what a sacrifice. A busy mommy during the day, then business mom at night. What an amazing woman!
Now, on to the details. Drybees is a diaper company that makes the perfect Pocket Diaper, the wonderful All-In-One Diaper, the beautiful Lacies Diaper, and the popular Night Time Diaper. Wahmies is a company that carries the One Size Diaper as well as fun and funk-tional cloth diaper accessories.
I really like the Drybees Pocket Diaper. The outer layer is made of PUL (polyurethane laminated layer), so there is no need for a diaper cover. The inner layer is made of really soft suedecloth, so it is comfortable for baby, plus it pulls wetness away from the skin keeping your baby DRY as can BEE. The hook and loop closures make diaper changing extremely easy like disposables, plus washing the diapers is a breeze with the fold over laundry tabs. I also want to point out that the top of the diaper has been stitched; therefore, the diaper will stay where it belongs, so the velcro will not ride up or down on your little ones precious skin. 
I can honestly say that the Drybees All-In-One Diaper is now my favorite diaper thus far! This diaper is made from the same pattern of the Drybees Pocket Diaper except there is a hidden sewn in three layer microfiber insert. Like the pocket diaper there is still the pocket in the back of the diaper in case you want to add extra inserts for more absorbency - great for all day trips out of the house or night time use. This diaper is very convenient with a fantastic fit and zero bulk!
Not only does Drybess carry the most functional and well fitting diapers, but Wahmies also carries a great diaper known as the One Size Diaper. This diaper truely fits babies of all sizes and shapes from newborn to toddler. It has four rows of snaps down the front accommodating for a newborn, a toddler, or the in between stages. It also has quick hook closures all around the top of the diaper so that you can fit it to your child's exact size. These closures are perfect for those little ones with a large curiosity! I can almost guarantee that you that your little one will not be able to get this diaper loose; however, you will be able to with much ease.
Wahmies also has really cute wet bags in all sizes, durable diaper pail liners, really soft versatile cloth wipes, microfiber inserts, adorable bib clips, as well as the quick trip tote. These great cloth diaper accessories really make cloth diapering convenient, fun and exciting!
Now that you have been informed of the best cloth diapers and cloth diaper accessories swarming the market today, be sure to check out it out for yourself at www.drybees.com and www.wahmies.com.
After you have given your baby a nice warm bath, don't you want to wrap them up in something that is very soft and cozy? I know I do, and I am here to tell you that I have found that something! My daughter loved it so much that she would not let it go once it entered her hands!
New England Gifts is a company that makes beautiful organic hooded towels that are warm, cozy, and very absorbent. They are made from adult towels; therefore, they are thicker and much more softer than the paper thin baby towels that you can buy. These towels come in natural colored 100 % organic cotton or green khaki colored 100 % organic cotton. You can get them with or without the trendy ribbon accents; however, I think that the ribbon accents make the towels absolutely adorable!
Not only are New England Gifts' towels good for your baby and the environment, but they will also last a long time. These towels measure 30 inches by 40 inches; therefore, it is a great fit for newborns up to the toddler years. What a great investment - a baby towel that is organic, trendy, absorbent, and will last many many years!
To check out these amazing towels as well as other great products from this company go to www.NewEnglandGifts.etsy.com. For a limited time offer, buy organic towels from New England Gifts, and get free US shipping through the month of September. Just mention Green Baby Giggles in the notes to seller at checkout!
Before we switched from disposable diapers to cloth diapers, my daughter would go through roughly 6 diapers per day. This ends up being about 42 diapers per week which makes 2,184 diapers per year. Lets say that she is potty trained at three years old; therefore, the 2,184 diapers per year times 3 years equals 6,552 diapers. That is just mind boggling! And just think, that is the total diapers used for one child for 3 years. Imagine calculating up the number of disposable diapers used on the millions of babies all over the world for 3 years per child! These numbers alone is a huge reason to switch from disposable to cloth; however, if I still have not convinced you, then maybe the next few reasons will.
Disposable diapers are so much more expensive than cloth. You can purchase a package of Huggies disposables 192 count (size 1-2) for $37.00. Based on my daughters needs, this package would only last a little over one month. $37.00 times 12 months is $444.00. $444.00 times three years is $1332.00. Wow! That is just the cost of one child to go through disposable diapers until they are potty trained. This is just the estimated cost on the low end! Think, if you had four children going through disposables, it would cost you $5,328.00 or more. The cost to start up with cloth diapers on the other hand is only about $550.00. What a difference! $550.00 will not only get you through one child for 3 years, but it will also get you through multiple children. Have I convinced you yet?
If not, here is another bit of information to chew on. Did you know that disposable diapers contain Dioxin? Dioxin is an extremely toxic by-product of the paper bleaching process. It is a carcinogenic chemical, listed by the EPA as the most toxic of all cancer-linked chemicals! Do you want your baby exposed to that? Not only do disposables have traces of Dioxin, but they also contain Tributyl-tin (TBT) which is a toxic pollutant that can cause hormonal problems in humans and animals. They also contain sodium polyacrylate which is the substance that is similar to the substance that used to be found in tampons that caused toxic shock syndrome. Might I remind you that while disposables have a lot of harmful chemicals, cloth diapers are so much more softer and chemical free! Had enough? Well, I have one more point!
Disposable diapers are horrible for the environment! They make up the third largest single consumer item in landfills. If a family has one child in diapers, the disposable diapers alone make up 50 % of that household waste. That is insane! The estimated time for one disposable diaper to decompose is roughly 250 - 500 years. The child that was in those diapers won't even be alive when his / her diapers decompose - Gross! Can't you just imagine all of those nasty diapers pilling and pilling and pilling over years and years and years.
Wow, now that is a lot to soak in. Convinced yet?
