Great Cloth Diaper Change


THE GREAT CLOTH DIAPER CHANGE 

 I live in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and on April 21st, I am not only participating in but also co-hosting The Great Cloth Diaper Change in my area.

Between myself and another great Mommy, we are working hard to provide awesome Swag Bags, door prizes, and an altogether good time!!

What is The Great Cloth Diaper Change??  Good question!
On April 21st, Mommies across the globe will change their babies CLOTH diaper and help to set a Guinness World Record for the most cloth diapers changed at one time!  Not only is this super fun, but it is a great way to show the world how many people are already choosing and using reusable cloth diapers successfully!  It is all about awareness!!  Cloth diapering is not only fun and easy but it helps keep those yucky disposables out of our landfill!! (THAT is awesome!!)

Why Cloth Diapers?
Reusable cloth diapers have many benefits, including:
  • Environmental: Cloth diapers reduce waste for families with children in diapers by more than 50%.
  • Financial: Cloth diapers allow families to save more than $2000 per child.
  • Health: Cloth diapers help parents reduce exposure of their babies’ skin and lungs to the chemicals in disposable diapers.
  • Cute and comfortable: Parents love putting soft cloth diapers, available in a variety of styles and patterns, on their babies.
  • Convenient: Once you’ve purchased your stash, no more weekly trips to the store to purchase more – simply put a load in the laundry!

Burt's Bees Sensitive!


Unrelated to cloth diapers, but awesome nonetheless.  I just got free product samples of the Burt's Bees sensitive line and just HAD to share how awesome this stuff is!



I have incredibly dry skin especially during the winter.  Most face lotions I use, irritate my face to some degree.  I usually get some tingle when using a lotion, which I am sure it the cells on my face crying and dying!  This stuff works wonders!  It hydrates without that terrible feeling and the face wash is super light but does the trick!  The lotion contains Rice Extract to moisturizer and Aloe to sooth! What could be better? Oh yeah, it is non-comedogenic (which means it doesn't clog your poors!)  The cleanser contains Quillaja, which is from the soapbark tree an provides a natural later! So  cool!

I have always loved the Burt's Bees brand with my children and now get to love it all over again for myself!  Way to go!!

Find yours at Shoppers Drug Mart or Walmart!
