ALVA Diapers

What is it?
This is an ALVA pocket cloth diaper! 

Why should I buy it?
Cloth diapering is a more natural option to put on your babies. They come in awesomely cute prints that you can reuse!

Who is it for?
The ALVA cloth diapers can be used from the day they are born until they are potty trained.

How is it used?
You place your insert into the pocket then adjust your rise and place on your baby just like any other diaper.

What’s good about it? What’s bad about it?
When our 17 month old wears this diaper we never have any leaks. The diaper also is very soft and fits very well! 
Honestly the only bad thing about this diaper is that my inserts get caught on the snap guards on the inside of the pocket.  With that we just work with the insert to get it in a little better, it does not hurt the function of the diaper at all.

How much does it cost?
The ALVA diapers are about $5.59 USD


Where can I buy it?
You can find ALVA diapers at

Dear Emmy!

What is it? What does it do?
Dear Emmy is a store. She makes a handful of different things! I have bought a puzzle, clips, headbands, and a lovie that i want to tell you about!


Why should I buy it?
You should buy from her because she is willing to fully customise your orders for a reasonable price and in a timely manor. 

Who is it for?
These things were bought for my daughter. She will be a newborn but the age range can go anywhere from newborn-adult I would say. 

How is it used? / How does it work?
The lovie is a hand held item that the baby 'loves on' It becomes a security item that they hold on to threw out toddler-hood. 
The dino puzzle I suppose I bought more for me then I did for her. at this point. but it is a soft (cloth) puzzle that was custom colored for us. I am thinking about making a little felt bored so it is easier to keep the puzzle pieces together as she gets older. 
The clips & head bands are pretty explanatory. The clips may go in hair or clip on to the head band that fits around head. 

What’s good about it? What’s bad about it?
The lovie is extra soft. I adore it! Wish I had an adult size blanket of it!
The headbands have a slot on them that I suppose you are suppose to put the clip in. for the flowers it is perfect! But for the actual felt clips it may have to much of a tilt & we may have to put them on a different way. (As we are not able to try these on Lillia yet we will have to update you on how that goes)

How much does it cost?
Everything Differs but is all reasonable!

What is it? What does it do?
Well I got 'Boo Boo Balm' and 'Wipe Bits' 

Boo Boo Balm -- is for any minor cuts, scrapes, rashes! 

Wipe Bits -- For cloth wipes/sprayers..

Why should I buy it?
You should try it out. the product did wonders for us!

Who is it for?
Could be used for your entire family!

How is it used? / How does it work?
.Boo Boo Balm -- We have yet to use it on a diaper rash but have told it is amazing! We have used it on eczema and bug bits & it is wonderful! 

Wipe Bits -- You can mix in water in put in a sprayer bottle to spray on wipes or 'bum' or you can put in a box and have the solution directly on your cloth wipes.

What’s good about it? What’s bad about it?

Boo Boo Balm -- It took the itch and soreness completely out of the bits and my eczema rash was gone with in 6 hours and using this twice!! Though it is very greasy, nothing unmanageable. 
The only negative thing I really have to say about it is when we got it I was 'scared' to use it. it came very watery and some leaked out of the package. The outside temperature must have been to much. So if you are taking this to the zoo or anywhere you will be out for a while I would suggest trying to keep it up right and putting it in a baggy. After it was home for a while it thickened back up.. 

Wipe Bits -- The smell is very smooth, leaves skin very nice no oil or residue gets left behind. I also like that it is shaved & not cubed as I can make exactly the solution that I need for the day instead of throwing a bunch out. 

How much does it cost?
Boo Boo Balm -- 2$-10$ USD
Wipe Bits -- 3$ USD
Other -- 1.50$-13$ USD

'Jessamess' Cloth Wipes.

What is it? What does it do?
These are cloth wipes. You can use them when you change diapers or as family cloth.

Why should I buy it?
They are EXTREMELY nice for the price I paid. She makes and ships them very fast also. 

Who is it for?
 Normally it would be for a child that is still in diapers but I would say these could be used for all aged people/

How is it used? / How does it work?
I store my cloth wipes dry and then spray and use them as I need them. There are many different ways to use/store.

What’s good about it? What’s bad about it?
The good--> They are very thick and quite soft. They seem to hold liquid very well., they are the perfect size to guard your hand from the unwanted and perfect size for my wipe cases. They are also sewn very nicely so they will last a longer amount of time. These wipes are not left open on the edges to fray and they are not bulkier around the edges then the middle. I am very happy to own these. 

How much does it cost?
Most cost $1.00 USD per wipe.

Buffy Bone's

What is it? What does it do?
She makes dog treats. & when I say treat I mean TREAT! She makes 2-3 inch dog treats. She will also make custom made cakes for birthdays & special occasions! & there NOT just 'oh lets go to the store and buy some cute dog treats for my dogs birthday that are hard and not appealing at all' Her treats are very appealing to the eyes, they are soft, and they smell wonderful!!! & most of all I can not find one dog that won't do backflips for Buffy Bone's!

Why should I buy it?
This is so hard to answer! Why shouldn't you buy them should be the question!

Who is it for?
Definitely for anyone who absolutely loves their dog! I try not to feed my dogs anything that I can not pronounce and these definitely fit the picture! They are made out of a few simple ingredients and thats all!  

How is it used? / How does it work?
Just give them to your pups. Mine do tricks for them! Perfect teaching tool because they love them so much. 

What’s good about it? What’s bad about it?
The good- The pups love them more then anything I have tried so far! 
*I have a puppy with severe food allergies and these do not bother her what so ever and I know exactly what is going in to them! 
*I love that they are soft and I do not have to worry about them hurting my dogs mouths whatsoever from them being to hard.
*I also like that they can be chilled on a hot day. Cool your pup down a bit!
*She also has stuff to offer to the pups owners. in the form of cute little shirts and happy dogs!

Dislike- They must stay in the fridge. Though I do know they will keep for a few hours on the outside of a fridge (if they last that long) for a trip to the beach/park.


How much does it cost?
$3.00-10.00 U.S.D.

This is not a 'review' though I will tell you how amazing her boxes are! 

Tayler's Treasures makes custom boxes for anyone that has lost a child. I encouraging anyone that has lost a baby to go talk to there page owner. They offer a ton of support! Every box to my surprise was different then the next [some items were similar] But most "boxes" you see come with all the same items. Like for instance all the same books or pens, but Tayler's Treasures puts heart in there boxes. And they include beautiful items in there boxes. Which include Pens, journals, bears, charms, shirt pins, a beautiful penny saying, cards. blanket, candles and much, much more. 

When I got the packages in the mail I loaded them in my car & proceeded on my way to work. I got there and curiosity got the best of me. I cut into one of the boxes and there left this beautiful box. I was already in teas knowing what they were so I did not brave to pull them out of the boxes. I worked my shift & drove home. Opening them the rest of the way when I got home. They are so beautiful inside & out. I cried for a while then took everything in. Then I thought of all of you. All of our followers. I bet they would all like to see these. So here I am. I hope you enjoy some pictures even 20% of how much I loved my boxes


Thank you Tayler's Treasures and all that help in filling the boxes. Keep up your amazing work<3

fruitziO

What is it?  What does it do?
fruitziO  Is a freeze dried fruit snack snack with a fizz. They also have Crispy ones they have no fizz. 

Why should I buy it?
It is all natural, healthy and comes in 100 cal. packets or less.

Who is it for?
Anyone. Children love them as they are sweet & yummy. We & my husband love them because they are healthy and good. And all agree there is a tingle about fruitziO =] and a sweet crunchy-ness about the Crispy.

How is it used? / How does it work?
You just open & eat

What’s good about it?  What’s bad about it?
I love that they are a natural snack and they are simple. Most of there Crispy are freeze dried and that is it. The fruitziO ones pictured have cane sugar in them also. They are in 100 cal bags or less, wonderful if you are on a diet. Me and my husband open a bag to share normally. They are a simple wonderful snack. Much better then opening a bag of potato chips or cookies. The taste of this fruit is amazing. Sometimes even better then the "fresh" fruit as it is not always the freshest. 

A few bad things. I HATE  that i can not buy them local. I have to send away for them Although the shipping is very fast sometimes I just want it now. Also some of the freeze dried that they add the cane sugar to is very sweet. Like I can only eat one or two pieces before it is to sweet. 

How much does it cost?

36 pack is a little over $40.00 USD
24 Pack is a little over $36.00 USD
Single .88 oz bag is about $3.59 USD
Single .36 oz bag is about $1.59 USD
They also have a few other packages. & anything over $75.00 USD has free shipping

Where can I buy it?
Crispy Green
