Product Review

Okay folks...I know you have all been chomping at the bit for another round of product reviews. Well chomp no longer! Here are a few great finds that I am in love with lately!

  • The Honest Company Sunscreen. I love this stuff! I have a million different kinds of sunscreen but I was nervous about using any of them on Emery! This stuff is natural, gentle on her sensitive skin, and even states that it can be used on babies UNDER 6 months. 
  • Bumkins. I love bumkins for a few reasons. 1) It's local! The headquarters is here in Phoenix. 2) They are involved in the community. I was really impressed with how generous they were during the Great Cloth Diaper Change. 3) I love them. They are trim, soft, breathable...love love love. My favorites are their pocket diapers and they have great prefolds. I was so happy that I got a FREE snap-in-one diaper (one of their new ones!) for volunteering at the GCDC!
  • Rockin' Green Hard Rock detergent. Do not ask me why, but I hadn't tried this detergent until recently. I had been battling some stink issues. I had tried oh just about everything. We have super hard water here in Gilbert AZ. I broke down and bought some of this detergent and holy cow. such. a. huge. difference. My dipes smell amazing. It's a very soft, light scent (I got the lavender scent!). I will pretty much take any scent over pee/ammonia smell. 
  • I love applegate products! They have a handy little tool that lets you punch in your zip code to find stores that sell their products near your home!
  • Cheat sheets. I hate to play the "new mom" card again but I am freaking busy as of late. I hate having to think and plan. Blech. It helps to have cheat sheets like this that I can take to the grocery store. I check off the items I already have and stock up on stuff that I know I am out of.
  • CJ's BUTTer. Please try this on your baby's butt. Even if you don't have a baby..buy it anyway. It is amazing.

  1. Ok, sorry, I'm blog stalking you. ;) LOVE this post too! We went to our CD class at Zoolikins last week and I had never looked into or considered Bumkins until then. They have an AIO snap-in with a pocket that looks amazing! I also am now wanting to try their bamboo contour fitted inserts for the newborn size with a cover, later they can be used as an extra insert! I think we will definitely try the Rockin Green detergent first. I trust locals with experience with our water first.

    Anxious to just be able to try this stuff already!! :)

    1. The AIO with snap-in is the free diaper I received in my volunteer bag! It's awesome! I love the fit! That is a really good idea trying out the contoured insert with a cover! It is so nice when you can continue to use inserts as baby grows!

      I will keep you posted on the detergent! I am doing another load today so we will see if the first load was just a fluke! ha! :)

    2. Yes, definitely let me know how you like the detergent over time! I'll probably be referencing you for help with wash routines. I keep reading a million different things. :-/
