[…]diapers between our 3.5 children (Gretchen’s daughter and son and Bianca’s daughter and sweet bump due in March). So, when we say we like a certain feature or really trust something about a diaper, we’re not joking. We’ve got A LOT of comparison power. That’s probably why we’re so excited to share Funky Fluff’s 2.0 with you! First up, Bianca’s thoughts … I’ve got a pretty trim little miss – at 21 months old, she just tipped the scale at 23 lbs and is about 31 1/2 inches tall. She’s a perfectly proportioned little doll, and her smallish stature has been both a blessing and a difficulty. I love how long clothes last for this girl – she’s still wearing 12 month zippies! But fitting diapers around her waist in proportion to her height has become a difficulty with her night time diaper, as she still wets a lot at night and you’ve got to find that right balance of fluff and stuff to make sure you can make it through the night. I’ve been loving the Funky Fluff Bamboo line (both the 1.0 and 2.0s) because the bamboo liner and inserts are extremely thirsty. Parched. When she started to leak out through her ‘tried and true’ night time diapers that had been working for us for over 12 months, I tried the Bamboo Fusion 1.0’s and was immediately relieved! After stripping and repairing velcro (the next step was re-doing elastic that I really don’t think needs it), I was almost ready to try ‘sposies. Admittedly I was a little apprehensive when the 2.0 version dropped the double gusset feature (because she’s also a side sleeper) but I quickly learned that it wasn’t the double gusset that was saving my biscuits in the middle of the night – it was that awesome bamboo material! Zero leaks and no changes through out the night = a well rested Penny and this preggy mama.Our night time diaper solution is a Funky Fluff Bamboo Fusion 2.0 stuffed with one heavy duty bamboo soaker or a light bamboo soaker with booster. And while I have your ear can I tell you how much I love the soakers? They are SO dense yet thin – they are by far my favorite stuffer for diapers because they hold so much liquid. And now, a bit from Gretchen … Before Max was born, I thought I knew almost everything about cloth diapers. I mean, I’d cloth diapered Jemma for 34 months and gone through many successes and failures as we narrowed down what worked best for us. Then I had a son and I began the learning curve all over again! Max is almost 17 months and is about to tip the scales at 32 pounds. Pretty much the opposite of Bianca’s petite Penny. If I’ve learned anything about diapering both a son and daughter, I’ve learned that they pee different (obviously) and this therefore, requires different features to adequately do their job. Funky Fluff covers the gamut thanks to their bamboo lining and inserts in their 3-in-1 system. It’s definitely hard to find cloth diapers that do their job for chubbier babies. I need a high rise to prevent top leaks and large enough leg elastic that hold without leaving marks. Right now Max wears his Funky Fluff on the widest waist setting. But I’m not worried about outgrowing our Fluff since he’s really starting to run and will most likely gain more height and less weight in the coming year. I won’t speak too much to the thirst of the bamboo – Bianca sang that praise – but I will say that we too ALWAYS opt for an extra stuffed Funky Fluff 2.0 for naps and long car rides. I will add that there is nothing softer than a bamboo diaper. So, between the amazing absorbancy and the gentle fabric, I pretty much want our whole stash of diapers to be filled with Funky Fluff’s bamboo 2.0 diapers. My only hope and recommendation for Funky Fluff is that they’ll launch a trainer/pull-up cloth diaper design by the time we’re ready for that transition. I would LOVE to see a pull-up design with bamboo inside and PUL outside … maybe even a bamboo padded underwear. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Ready to add some Funky Fluff to your cloth diaper stash? We couldn’t encourage you more – you won’t be disappointed! You can purchase the Fusion Bamboo 3-in-1 System 2.0 here, or consider saving with the purchase of a bundle. Still on the fence? Maybe consider a Starter Kit so you can compare the bamboo and stay dry options while testing out the reinforcing soakers and boosters.

[…]had a chance to use this yet {seriously, we are checking out so many apps right now} but we will update when we spend some time with it.
*** indicates our current favorites. This week has been tough since we are all down and out with a pretty nasty cold, even typing this hurts my face right now. That being said, we have added tons of apps lately and it had me thinking about the amount of data we use. Between my blogging and real estate business, John’s obsessed with Facebook and Craigslist, and the kids spending way too much time lately on the tablet playing music and apps, I knew we were using far too much data around here and it was probably going to get expensive. I remember hearing about the Walmart Family Mobile plans and how affordable they are so I decided to check it out. We have a variety of devices that the kids use sometimes. The tablet is great sometimes but when we are out and about and I need to keep somebody busy for awhile {think waiting at the doctor}. Having a smartphone that can keep up with our data use and not cost me an arm and a leg. We decided to try out the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS plan because it includes unlimited talk, text and data; including up to 10 GB of 4G LTE data PLUS a free movie on VUDU {$7 value} every month per line. All of this for $49.88 a line. Not only is this a great deal for a phone plan, the data is exactly what we need. The free movie every month is a total plus for us. It gives us more options for our weekly movie night with the kids. We love to all curl up around the laptop or tablet and watch a movie all snuggled together for some quality family time. This was like icing on the cake for us. We already knew we liked the Samsung phones so we decided on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime for $99 on rollback from $149. Since we didn’t already have a Walmart Family Mobile plan, we had to purchase the $25 starter kit as well. I was beyond thrilled when the cashier offered to set it up for us right on the spot.
Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to http://cbi.as/28aqc or your local Walmart for current pricing. Getting a deal on extra data plus a movie is a huge bonus for our family. Knowing we don’t have to worry about using too much data on any of our devices plus having a great phone that I can count on anytime, whether I’m at home, on the go or need a technology babysitter while I am showing houses, the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime with the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS plan is the answer to our needs. Now I can get my work done, the kids can have some educational fun, we get a family movie AND we never have to worry about using too much data. I did my research but I know there are other kindergarten apps that should be on my list. I’d love for you to leave me a comment letting me know your favorite apps, whether or not they made this list. […]

Wow! The day is finally here….our due date. I’m thinking it doesn’t mean a whole lot. Maggie was 4 days past her due date. I really thought we would have this baby early because it’s felt like baby was just going to fall out for over a month now. Oh well. When baby is ready, baby is ready. I have been having contractions for 2 weeks now, but not super strong contractions. On Saturday, I was sure it was time. I had contractions practically nonstop for about 6 hours, but not super strong ones. They were accompanied by low back pain every time, so we are getting somewhere. I hear that’s very common with baby #2. I was miserable for those hours. I could hardly move my back was hurting so much. Okay, it wasn’t the worst pain ever…nowhere near the awfulness of back labor, but it still hurt! Last night I was having contractions again quite a bit and these were accompanied by strong pelvic pressure but not even to warrant a trip to the hospital. I called Labor and Delivery hoping they would have me come in and check my cervix so I would know where we were at, but no luck there. Weird, right? But….John was planning to keep working until I called him to come home. I really didn’t want him to leave last night because I’m sure it will be in the next few days when baby makes an appearance, but I was okay if he chose to go. He decided to stay though and I am so glad!!!! I was having a hard time toward Maggie’s bedtime to move I would be in so much pain. I really hope that baby shows up soon or I will feel dumb for having him stay when he is planning to take the week off after baby arrives. We have saved up some money for this, but it would be nice if we didn’t have to use all of it! Oh well, whatever makes things easiest for me right now I am all for! The worst part for me is the numbness in my arms. Both of them….all the time. If I lift my hands above my waste for even a few minutes I can’t feel my fingertips. I had this happen with Maggie, but not until after I delivered her. It lasted for months! Right now, I can’t feel my left fingers they are all numb. This is interfering with my sleep and everything else! I’m super excited for baby though! This morning, John put his hand on my belly to say good morning to baby and Maggie yelled at him and pushed his hand away so she could put her hand on my belly. She loves baby so much. I am really excited to meet this baby, but I may be even more excited for Maggie and baby to meet! *Funny comments people made recently* Lady at Walmart yesterday……Holy Crap!!!! Is there only one in there! When people say things like that and then ask when I’m due, I kind of want to tell them not for another month just to have some fun with it 🙂 So…if suddenly I’m not posting…that means baby has arrived! I can’t wait! Last chance to make your guesses! Boy or girl? What day will baby choose for a birth […]
