Mommy Earth Wet Bags

Tuesday, July 21, 2009

The owner of Mommy Earth is a work at home mother (WAHM) of two children, a boy and girl.  She loves to sew and is glad to be offering her handmade items to mothers to be, friends and family and everyone in between. Mommy Earth first started offering her wet bags on diaperswappers.com and has now expanded to offer them on Etsy.com. 


 Large Wet Bag (14x20), Michael Miller CAMO, Cloth Diapers, Swim Suits, Gym, Travel


Mommy Earth uses great fabrics and chooses her fabrics based on durability and quality. There are many great things about this shop. I will list them below.


Firstly, the prices are very reasonable, especially for a good quality and fashionable product.


Secondly, the issues of “shipping”, I ordered my large wet bag from Mommy Earth and received it in less then 2 weeks.  I live in Canada, and this shop is located in the United States, 2 weeks is not a long time to wait for a product to arrive.  The owner of Mommy Earth is very diligent in shipping the products as soon as possible to minimize wait times.


Thirdly, why are wet bags useful?  Well, I absolutely love mine.  I bring my wet bag everywhere I go; it’s currently tucked away in my diaper bag.  I don’t use cloth diapers, however I still found the large wet bag to be very good for putting a wet bathing suit or swim diaper inside after my son’s swimming lessons.  It was simple; I placed my son’s wet clothing in the wet bag, and then emptied it directly into the washer.  No mess, no wet residue on my diaper bag.  If you use cloth diapers, I am sure this will help you in many ways.


Fourthly, another good reason to get a wet bag is for all us “ladies” who travel with makeup and shower toiletries. How often have you wrapped your shampoo and conditioner bottle in a plastic bag? You no longer have to do that.  I traveled to Maui and used the wet bag to pack my shampoo and conditioner. I knew that if it did leak, it would not get all over my clothing.  PERFECT!


Fifthly, let’s talk about the quality and description of Mommy Earth’s wet bags. There are two layers sewn separately to prevent “wicking”. The outside layer is made of designer fabric from the Michael Miller and Amy Butler collection. Best of all, if you don’t see a fabric option you like, Mommy Earth has a separate website with more choices you can pick from at http://mommyearthfabric.blogspot.com.  She will customize your order! What a great feature.  The inside layer is made from PROCARE which is a mildew proof and waterproof material.  The wet bag also has a loop which you can use to hang on a door or in the laundry room, ready to go for your next use.


The wet bags in this shop come in all sorts of sizes; small, regular,  and large!


If you are interested in purchasing a wet bag, please visit  www.mommyearth.etsy.com  . I think this is a fantastic investment and well worth the price. You will use this product for years and years, even when your children outgrow diapers. 

Clothing organizer

Thursday, July 16, 2009

What a great idea! When I was pregnant with my son, I was looking for something like this and could not find it anywhere.  Potato Patch has come up with this "closet organizer" and I love the concept and design.  They're adorable clothing dividers.  I would recommend this item to every new parent.  I received so much baby clothing as gifts,  I didn't have enough room to organize it all.  My husband installed a 2 tier shelve in our son's closet and that helped a lot but then it was hard to organized them by size because the clothing is so small , it get all intermingled together.

Clothing Organizer Dividers - Set of 5 Unisex Funny Farm Dividers for boys and girls

I would of loved to have received this as a gift and think this would make a great baby shower gift.  I am buying one before my second baby. 

The description as per Potato Patch's Shop:

Adorable clothing dividers are a must have for any new baby!These handy dividers make it simple to organize your little one's clothes by size as they grow. As a new parent it is overwhelming with the clothes that you receive and buy before the baby arrives. These dividers are printed both sides to make it easy to see and come as a set of five from 0-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-18 and 18-24 months.

Little Jumping Beans

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Little Jumping Beans is a shop started by a stay at home mom named Jaimie who lives in Calgary Alberta.  Jaimie started her company in January 2009 with the idea in mind of designing soft soled shoes for babies and toddlers at a much cheaper price then brand named shoes.  I started browsing through Jaimie’s etsy shop and loved the designer shoes she was creating.   I received in the mail a beautiful pair of boy’s soft soled shoes made with two coordinating fabrics, Ta Dot in evergreen by Michael Miller and Traffic Jam by Alexander Henry.  I thought these two materials looked great together.  Soft soled shoes are great for babies and for those little growing feet.  Pediatricians recommend soft soled shoes because they allow the foot to move as naturally as possible.

What I look for in soft soled shoes; flexibility in the shoe, traction, toe box and the breath ability of shoes, especially for babies. 


Flexibility:  Little Jumping Beans soft soled shoes are very flexible, allowing your child’s feet to bend easily.  This is important because your baby’s feet grow quite rapidly the first few years.  From the time they first learn to crawl to when they start taking steps, flexibility makes a difference. I find if a shoe is too rigid, my little guy refuses to stand.


Traction:  The bottoms of their shoes are fully lined and have a white grippy dot bottom. For my little guy traction in shoes is very important as we have hardwood and tile in our house. The last thing you want when your baby is learning to stand is him slipping and falling.


Toe box:  What I mean by toe box is the top of the shoe.  Little babies need lots of room for their chubby toes to move. It’s important for them to have flexibility in the toe box area to wiggle their toes around.  Funny enough their toes grow rapidly also. It’s not a good shoe if it squishes their toes.  Little Jumping Beans shoes are very flexible; just make sure you get the right size.


Breathability:  Many people think leather is the best shoe for breathability, I can’t comment on that since I am not an expert but what I can say from experience is that Little Jumping Beans fabric shoes are perfect.  I took them on my vacation to Maui and they worked great.  I used them as slippers without socks due to the warm weather.  I thought this was a perfect alternative to provide sun protect ion to my little guy's feet.


Jaimie at Little Jumping Beans was very pleasant to talk to, and was very accommodating.   She answered all my questions about sizing and offered to make custom shoes for my son.  This etsy shop has great customer service. When I received my little shoes in the mail, they were wrapped in a nice plastic with a little thank you card as a personal touch.  Those little extra things are what separate Little Jumping Beans from other shoe companies.


 I highly recommend these soft sole shoes to anyone.


 Little Jumping Beans has agreed to participate in a giveaway and will be giving a $15.00 gift certificate to our readers.

    Designer Diaper Bag Tote

    As you all know I love shopping and looking for items that I think are appealing and fashionable. I was searching Etsy as I usually do for items that I would like to feature on my website and stumbled upon a Canadian company called BewbewDesign's.  They have the greatest A-line designer bags I have seen !


    This Diaper Bag Tote has extra features that make it a very practical and useful for everyday use.  Some of the great features are;


    1.)  Waterproof exterior made out of premium vinyl.


    2.)  The inside has water resistant lining.


    3.)  One of my favorite features - it can be carried as a handheld or you can adjust the straps to convert it into a shoulder tote.


    4.) Best part! - It has 4 interior pockets to organize all your goodies.


    5.)  It also has many extras, another reason why this bag is so great!  It has magnetic snap closure , which makes it easy to open and close especially if your hands are full. It also has 4 metal feet at the bottom - great idea!


    The designer at Bewbew design's has taken a lot of time into making sure the items in her store are well made, fashionable and are versatile which is evident in the diaper bag tote.
