Picture

I was really fortunate to be sent a GreenTime Snack bag and a Sandwich Bag for Review.  What a great set of products and so well made. I was amazed at the selection and choice of patterns offered on the site, from Baseballs to polka-dots there is something for everyone.   I love the Butterfly pattern I was sent, and the sandwich bag is a wonderful size.  I can get 2 wraps in this on days I get bored of sandwiches.  Both bags wipe clean very easily and the Velcro is strong.  I  also like that I am able to reduce, reuse and recycle and  know at the same time my sandwich is staying fresh. :)

Eco-Max Review!!

Lets face it, I do a lot of laundry. I cloth diaper and on top of 4 kids being home for the summer, and now going back to school,  I seem to be always busy getting clothing washed and cleaned.   Over the last month I  switched my laundry routine completely.   I was lucky and Eco-Max sent us Lavender, Orange and Hypoallergenic Laundry Wash for Review.
I honestly have been using the same laundry soap for the past year and to get me to change over is not that easy. But I read up on Eco-Max  and I knew this was going to be a great product for both my clothing and diapers.
Could a Green product clean touch stains and odor?  
Could this really get my cloth diapers clean??
And the answer is simple, YES it can!! 
Eco-Max Laundry Wash cleans my diapers beautifully and the smell--gone.  And were are talking about cleaning diapers that I have sitting in the diaper pail for a day. Yep no smell.  I am not sure if the lavender or the orange is my favorite, but I love the smell of my little laundry room when I use the lavender.  It is wonderful and  I really like  the orange hint my clothes get.   Eco-Max formulates their products with 100% plant based ingredients derived from renewable and sustainable resources. Odour is a common problem in many cleaning situations.  With this in mind, they have formulated many of their products to include 100% therapeutic grade essential oils so that you’re empowered with a natural tool to deal with pesky odours, all while receiving the aroma therapeutic benefits from the essential oils themselves.  I have children with sensitive skin so this is always something I am looking out for in products.  All of our clothing comes out looking so great.  Not dull or lifeless but bright and clean.  I have already been looking online where to find this laundry soap.  This is 100% worth trying out and its proudly made and developed in Canada!!  I can not wait to try their natural cleaners and dish soap!!
Thank you Prism Care Corporation for the Wonderful Review opportunity. 
About Prism Care Corporation.
Prism Care Corporation, a Canadian owned and family operated company, was founded in April 1999 with a mission to benefit people and the environment.  Their mission is simplistic, but its impact over the years has been profound.  In 1999, under the PrismEnvironmental® brand, they were one of only a handful of Canadian companies offering EcoLogoTM certified cleaning products. In their own humble way, this company set out to replace hazardous, toxic cleaning products in commercial and institutional facilities one building at a time.
"Over the next several years, we worked tirelessly, researching the best natural, plant-based, sustainable raw materials and utilizing them in countless formulations to test their effectiveness. We listened intently to suggestions from all corners of our industry, particularly the cleaning staff of both large and small cleaning companies. It was important for us to work with and learn from these hard working people, many of which were exposed to toxic chemicals every day. We did learn a lot and we set out on a mission to develop the best performing natural, non-toxic products on the market. This is how Eco-Max was born."
We received a tremendous response from across Canada and knew we were on the right track. Substantial organizations such as Environment Canada, Royal Bank, Telus, Bell Mobility, CIBC, and Canada Post were, and still are, having their buildings cleaned with Eco-Max. This widespread interest coupled with growing environmental awareness in Canada and the world led to the release of Eco-Max consumer products for household use in 2007.
Since then, we have maintained our commitment to the environment and have been as transparent as we can while doing so. We publish all our test results for public viewing and are not afraid to list our ingredients; we have nothing to hide. 
At Prism Care Corporation they will never incorporate synthetic fragrances in their cleaners and for sensitive individuals, they've created hypoallergenic, scent free formulations of  all common household cleaners. All Eco-Max cleaners are EcoLogoTM certified by Environment Canada.  Third party testing has revealed that Eco-MaxTM Green cleaners far exceed the requirements laid out for EcoLogoTM certification. They are confident enough they are happy to show you these results, which is why on every product page, you can find them in the ‘learn more’ section.
By choosing Eco-Max, you will be using a leading Green cleaner that is both safe to use and safe for the environment.

sootheTIME™ Review and Giveaway Ends Oct 6, 2010

On, average, newborns sleep approximately 16 hours per day, but this can vary as much as from 11 to 23 hours per day.  Swaddling helps babies wake less at night, sleep longer and calm their crying.  SootheTIME products are simple, practical solutions for the wellness of baby and family. Featuring apparel and accessories that help transistion baby from breakfast to bedtime and everything in between, sootheTIME products convenientrly create safe, soothing, healthy experiences so little ones can thrive and parents can feel confident knowing they are providing the best care.

Whether preparing a baby for bed, giving him his first taste of solid foods or traveling to see friends and family, soothTIME  helps make those occasions safe, soothing and fun.
 For Review I was so fortunate to be sent a set of products from sootheTIME™.  I was sent the snooze wrap plus{Stage 1}, Snooze Sack {Stage 2} and a set of Sleepzies
I really like that all the  zzzTIME  products are designed to work together to ensure baby gets the best night's sleep.    Since I do not have a little one this small.  {Emma is about to turn 2-omg!}I was lucky that a friend of mine just so happen to have a little one perfect for this review.
  "I must admit I am surprised how flexible the padding is I was able to feed while he was still inside which was nice and very easy to use."  

The Snooze Wrap™ Plus is so simple to use that anyone can achieve a perfect swaddle — every time. It’s been designed to ensure proper positioning, while supporting the healthy growth and development of your baby. And the luxurious 100% cotton knit fabric provides the comfort baby.
 Crafted from 100% cotton knit fabric , the Snooze Wrap Plus was designed to ensure proper positioning and head support, while encouraging healthy development.  Ideal for newborns to 3 months, the swaddle wraps easily transitions from a snug fit to a loose fit as the baby grows.  The soft, comfy Head Support feature ensures proper positioning and may reduce the development of flat head syndrome.
Adjustable Comfort Wraps™  provide gentle tummy support that may help relieve the symptoms of colic while providing extra security to help baby sleep more comfortably.
As baby grows, so will the Snooze Wrap Plus, thanks to the adjustable pocket. The Cradle Support Pad helps add security and confidence when holding and lifting the baby, along with greater comfort for mom and baby during breastfeeding.

Snooze Sack Stage 2
 The Snooze Sack Stage 2 is a wonderful wear-a-blanket and is available for two stages of baby development and this really promotes safe sleep without the dangers of loose blankets. Adjustable Comfort Wraps™ provide gentle tummy support that may help relieve the symptoms of colic while providing extra security to help baby sleep more comfortably Soft, 100% cotton assures baby’s comfort year-round. Also Machine washable and dryer safe to make your life a little easier.  
I really like the Comfort Vents that are on either side of the sleep sack . This provides airflow and the bottom zipper allows for easy access for diaper changing.   
The Sleepzies.
Sleepzies are the perfect way to dress baby for a soothing, restful sleep especially when swaddling in a Snooze Wrap Plus or in a sootheTIME Snooze Sack. The one-piece, long sleeve body suits offer smart, practical tailoring designed to fit easily over baby 's head and feqture snaps at the bottom for quick, easy diaper changes. The all-natural absorbent fabric is soft on the a babies tender skin, even after repeated washings, and keeps your baby dry and comfortable.   These little outfits are soft and stretchy and just the right thickness. Super light , perfect for keeping baby happy.

Dapa Diapers Review and Giveaway Ends Oct 4, 2010

Do you cloth diaper or are you considering trying it out?? As a cloth diapering mom myself I know that finding a quality store specializing like Dapa does is golden.  Shopping at Dapa Diapers saves you money, you get a great quality diaper and a great selection.  Dapa Diapers is an online retailer that sells “seconds.”  Seconds are cloth diapers which have either a cosmetic flaw (they got scuffed during manufacturing, stitching is wonky, etc) or they are factory overstock.
At Dapa Diapers they offer a wide variety of cloth diapers and trainers from top name brands. At Dapa their cloth diapers cost far less than what you will find on any other site because our diapers are seconds or discontinued items. They will all be functional but may have slight imperfections- crooked stitching, slightly misaligned snap, fabric cosmetic flaws and other tiny imperfections that they can't even detect.  Dapa carries gently used items so that cloth diapers, trainers and accessories can be recycled.
These items are in excellent condition and are another fantastic way to be kind to your pocket book as well as your baby and the environment.  Dapa also carries WHAM (Work At Home Mom) products to make sure that we can provide you with all you will need to get started.  If they don't have it in seconds or gently used, their WHAMS are sure to have it. All of the WHAM products are first quality unless otherwise noted.  At Dapa Diapers their Mission is simple: to provide the best products and service to their customers at the lowest prices possible.  They take great pride in their company, and their commitment to customer service and in the products they sell.  From Fuzzi Bunz to Monkey Doodlez and Snap Ez, Dapa has a great selection.  I was so fortunate to be sent a AIO Snap Ez for Review!!
 The AIO Snap EZ Diaper that Dapa sent Emma is a wonderful diaper to use.  It is very trim and fits very well on her.  I love it.  I stuff alot of diapers so to to have a few AIO`s makes it very handy, especially if it is as soft and absorbent as the Snap Ez.  I like the snaps and the the stiching through out is wonderful, I honesty do not know why this is a second. To me its perfect.  
These diapers consist of an outer layer of PUL (laminated knit fabric that is waterproof) and an inner layer of polyester Microfleece from MaldenMills or Suede Cloth.   The fleece or suedecloth wicks the moisture away from baby's skin and into your insert or prefold so they don't feel the wetness. 
This also reduces the incidence of diaper rash. It also makes clean up much easier as "stuff"doesn't stick to it like it does to diaper flannel! I simply just shake this diaper over the toilet if the number two happens and its that easy. 
The Knit PUL outside and the Microfleece are stretchy to give the diaper a huggy feel and a snug fit. 
In the back is a "pocket" for stuffing in your favorite absorbent material. These diapers are seconds, but are fully functional. Imperfections may include slightly misaligned snaps, crooked stitching or other small hard to detect flaws.  Prices are in USD.
Snap-EZ makes a great diaper. I found it to be absorbent , trim and it fit Emma beautifully.  Thank you Dapa for the Wonderful review opportunity.
