(Closed) gDiapers Giveaway Ends 2/13

We made it! Wahoo! 100 followers (and counting!) in less than a week. That is amazing. I'm getting a lot of traffic and great feedback in such a short period of time. I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to all my fellow bloggers, followers, and every personal interaction that has helped grow this blog into something I am so excited about!

So, without further ado, let's have a giveaway to celebrate!!!
 Orange: front view, Vanilla: back view

For those of you not familiar with gDiapers, they are a stylish cloth diaper brand that uses a cotton outer shell, with a snap-in nylon liner. Inside the liner you can place a 100% biodegradable disposable/compostable insert called gRefills that are flushable, or you can use reusable gCloth inserts. This is a great option for an eco-friendly, on-the-go family, or when traveling and you have no access to a washing machine to wash your diapers. Of course, if the shell does get soiled, you will need to change it. But they should be washed about every 3-4 changes anyway. The liner can be wiped clean between changes if it was just wet (and washed also every 3-4 changes) and a new insert (disposable or cloth) can be placed inside. I've found the gRefills to be pretty expensive. The gCloth option is much more cost effective because they are reusable, however, I never tried this option so I'm not sure how absorbent or well made they are.
 Inside a gDiaper

gDiapers are a very trim style for a cloth diaper, and will fit better under pants than most if not all cloth diaper brands out there! A fluffy bottom is cute, but I like it when pants fit properly too! :) I wish I had photos of my son wearing his gDiapers to show you! He's outgrown the ones I have. : (  gDiapers also carries a bunch of adorable colors too!


The Verdict! gDiapers are a great choice if you are looking for a hybrid cloth diaper that is also very trim!

Buy It! 
gDiapers and accessories can be purchased from Amazon.com, or from diapers.com

(Closed) Skoy Cloth Review and Giveaway Ends 2/6

 
Skoy Cloths are not your average dish cloth or sponge. They are the perfect size and thickness to do just about anything...in the kitchen OR around the house. I recently wiped down all my baseboards with a Skoy Cloth!

When dry (as shown above), the Skoy cloth is hard like a dry sponge, but is instantly malleable when wet (as shown below).They are super soft when wet, but still clean really well.
Skoy Cloths are easy to handle and unlike a dish cloth, you don't need to fold them for added thickness and strength. They are very durable and last a good month in the kitchen for me. I use my skoy cloths to wipe up the ridiculous messes our 2 year old makes after meals, as well as for wiping down kitchen surfaces throughout the day. For pots, pans and various other kitchen gear that requires a more gentle cleaning tool, the Skoy cloth does the job. 

It's suggested by Skoy that you when they begin showing signs of wear, that you "downgrade" them for use on floors and in the bathroom (or baseboards!). Here are a couple more facts from Skoy:
-One Skoy Cloth can save 15 rolls of paper towels.
-100% biodegradable and natural
-Reusable and machine washable
-Absorbs 15 times its own weight
 
You can find out more about their use and care, as well as FAQs on their website www.skoycloth.com


The Verdict! I HIGHLY recommend Skoy Cloths to anyone who has a kitchen. That means YOU! I love them so much that I wanted to sponsor a giveaway for them from yours truly! Keep reading....

Buy It! 
Skoy Cloths are available for purchase in 4-packs from Amazon for 6.99.


 Win it! 
 I have a 4-pack of Skoy Cloths to give away to one lucky The Reynolds Mom reader!!

Coming Soon to a Blog Near You......

My first review and giveaway! Yep, you heard that right. It's coming this weekend in fact. Stay tuned because I will have details on another giveaway in the works after that too. The Cloth Diaper community is going to LOVE the next one (start following on GFC NOW!!)! 

The Facebook profile still has no photo but we're working on it. Think pretty flowers and something else to match the blog! :) I'm hoping to have it done by the time the first review/giveaway is up, but techinical issues for this not-so-techy mama are sure to pop up! Wish me luck on that one!


Until next time.......

Welcome to my Blog

My first post! After almost a year of interacting with so many fabulous mommy blogs around, I've decided to take the plunge. I'm still figuring out what to focus on, but I am a huge fan of reviews and giveaways! I have a large following on twitter already, so I hope to attract some sponsors in the near future to kick things off!

Check out the "About Me" tab at the top to read more about me and my family. If you are interested in sponsoring a giveaway, please see the "PR Friendly" tab above. Be sure to check out my Facebook profile so you'll know when the fun really gets going!

As you can see, I am a fan of exclamation points. If that bothers you, don't look for a second.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told you not to look! I've also found that I like smiles :) and "quotations" on random things. That's just how I roll.

Oh yeah, for all my blogger friends, please feel free to leave me suggestions and comments as I build my blog. Thanks! 

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!
