Sponsor Post for Wombat Wash

Wombat Wash is a cloth diaper service for our area that is sponsoring us for the second time.  A cloth diaper service is someone who :gasp: washes your diapers for you!!! Awesome!!!  They also provide the prefolds and covers!  Even more awesome!  Wombat Wash also has VERY reasonable prices with the lowest one starting at only $11 a week!!!  Here is what they have to say about their shop:

Wombat Wash – Diaper supply and cleaning service.

We take care of the diapers – You take care of your child.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and we hope you find some useful information. Like many new families, we quickly found that keeping our child clean, happy and healthy was the priority in our lives. With that in mind, we reviewed every option of cost and convenience while maintaining our first concerns for our child. The cloth diaper option quickly proved to be one of our solutions. Now we are proud to offer that same option with added saving and convenience for you.

Sounds pretty amazing to me!!!!  If I was first starting off, this is the way I would go!

Not only all that, now Wombat Wash also offers compostable diapers for those that are not able/wanting to completely go cloth but want to help out with their environment.  They will deliver these for you as well.  They are the only place in the area that offers these!

Wombat Wash will be providing soap for each goodie bag and they will also be there to provide diapers to anyone without any cloth diapers so that they can use them for the change!  How awesome is that.  Thank you for your support again this year Wombat Wash!

Sponsor Post for Eco Sprout

Anyways, today's feature is on Eco Sprout!

Eco Sprout is a wonderful...I mean amazing...I mean spectacular laundry detergent.  Eco Sprout has VERY graciously donated a raffle prize AND samples to be included in your goodie bags that will be given to the first 50 people who arrive!  Eco Sprout also carries bottom balm that is cloth diaper safe, pail freshener, and bottom cleaning spray!  And let me tell you how YUMMY their smells are!!!!  I am in love!  This is the ONLY detergent that Nicole, the host of the event, uses.  And trust me, I am ALWAYS stocked up on my Eco Sprout products!  I have three bags down in my basement now! :-D  And they are just so reasonably priced that there really isn't a way to go wrong with this!  You will be in love the second you use it too!

Here is Nicole's review on their detergent that she did before:
EcoSprout is a new cloth diaper friendly laundry detergent.  I received two different scents, warm vanilla sugar and sandalwood vanilla.  I had such a hard time picking out which one I was going to try.  I ended up choosing the warm vanilla sugar....okay, I lie....my husband had to choose for me.

I loved this detergent.  It works VERY well.  I was able to use the whole sample size (2 oz) before I wrote this review and I'm telling ya, no stink issues here!  The diapers are ALWAYS smelling fresh!  Also, it just smells SO yummy!!!!

This detergent got out even the toughest poop marks, diarrhea from being sick.  I'm telling you, for real, I am IN LOVE with this product!

I also did a soak with this detergent.  Well, two soaks (because I have that many diapers lol)...and boy was that nasty!  The water was so brown and yuckie...ew...that's the only way I know how to describe it.  But, I loved it so much that I had to buy another batch of it.  I have to admit that this is the very first time I have ever committed to a laundry detergent.  It is the first full size bag I have ever bought, no joke.  I have been living off of samples that I purchased and stuff in hopes of finding one that I liked.  Well, I have been searching since August (when I realized how much I really didn't like Rockin' Green) and I have finally FINALLY found one!!!  So happy about this!!!

Because this is a new company, I am going to write all their background information also.  Please remember that these are not my own words, these are the words from the VERY talented maker, Jared (btw, amazing that a daddy is getting into this!  very exciting!):

"The company was started by myself, a WAHM.  I was looking for a cloth diaper detergent that was great for not just diapers, but for my entire family's laundry.  It was important to me that the detergent I used was non-toxic, natural, eco-friendly, and sensitive for my baby's bottom.  After experimenting for several months and doing a ton of research, Eco Sprout was born.

"I am still very small and manufacture the detergent myself.  The detergent is free from perfumes, dyes, brighteners, enzymes, phosphates, & is 100% biodegradable.  It is safe for cloth diapers, and they not only come out of the wash smelling clean, but so far, we have noticed zero to very little ammonia smell both when my son pees and even in the diaper pail 2 days later!

"We offer the following sents: Lavender Chamomile, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Fresh Linen, Vanilla Sandalwood, In The Buff, which is our Unscented version, Green Tea and our seasonal scent which is currently Peppermint Sticks.

Sponsor Post for Howler Monkey Bums!

Yet another sponsor?  Of course...we are working HARD for you guys!  Lol.  Our next sponsor spotlight is Howler Monkey Bums which is offering one of her wonderful AI2 diapers for our raffle!!!

Here is Nicole's Review on Howler Monkey Bums:

Howler Monkey Bums is an Etsy shop owned by the wonderful Callie.  This mama was a great mama to work with.  She wonderful in keeping in contact with me to let me know the status of the review diaper.  She also has really fast shipping!  Her diapers are so cute and work wonderfully.

The diaper that I am reviewing is an AI2 OS diaper.  Her soakers are a snake style soaker made out of Zorb II which is amazing in absorbency.  If you have ever used Zorb before, you know that they can soak up an amazing amount of liquid.  It is also lined with cotton velour which keeps your baby dry!

I was almost immediately hooked on this diaper when it came in the mail that I couldn't wait to try it out.  I tried it out on my two year old first.  This diaper fit him perfectly, which is still a little bit hard to find a great fit with OS diapers because he is just so tall!  He is a whopping 38 inches tall at 28 months old!  Yeah, try to find a diaper to fit haha.  Not only that, he is skinny for his height...weighing in at only 30 lbs.  So, for a diaper to fit him perfectly is bliss because I think we have a while until potty learning time (we are trying, just going a lot slower than I would have thought).  Anyways, my son was able to wear this diaper for a total of 4 hours before I changed it, and I think it could have easily lasted longer!  I was very impressed with this!

Now, to try on the whole other spectrum on my newbie.  My one month old is 8 lbs 6 oz and this diaper fit great for my little one.  When I spoke with Callie, she said that most people were finding that this diaper was not fitting until around 10 lbs...but I think these pictures will show you differently.  This diaper was amazing on my little man!  I have to admit, that it was a bit bulky on him BUT this would be GREAT for overnight!  I used it and changed my son at about 2 hours (I still change him about every 2 hours right now, except at night) and the bottom two layers were still completely dry!  When I folded up the snake style insert to fit into the diaper with my little one, there was four layers in the pee zone (front area).  So, for the 2 hours and not even getting into the bottom two layers, it would last the perfect 4 hours (if not longer) that I change him at night!
