Yo Gabba Gabba Winner!!

Using random.org, I have a winner for our Yo Gabba Gabba giveaway!!  Anna, congratulations!  You are the winner :)  You and your girls get the Music is Awesome-Volume 1 CD, and the Clubhouse DVD.  Yay! 

Yo Gabba Gabba Giveaway!

If you have kids around Ingrid's age, you probably know about Yo Gabba Gabba.  It's no secret I love this show, as does Ingrid.  It's one of those kid's shows that is entertaining for the parents as well, which is key.  If I have to listen to the songs a million times or see the same show over and over, I want to like it, too!  Gabba does a good job of having guest stars like Jack Black and Elijah Wood, and having music acts like Weezer and Mates of State, people I listen to already.

I was SO excited to see they were doing a Yo Gabba Gabba Live tour with a stop in Detroit!!  We'll be going to the Fox Theater on October 8th and I just cannot wait to see Ingrid's face when she sees where we are!  Check it out here to see when they'll be in your town.

Recently I was asked if I wanted to do a giveaway to help promote the upcoming tour.  I of course said yes!  I know a lot of people that read this blog have younger kids and would be thrilled to get the Yo Gabba Gabba!: Music is Awesome Volume 1 CD ~AND~ the Yo Gabba Gabba! Clubhouse DVD.  (And don't forget that Music is Awesome Volume 2 will be available at Target on August 24th!) 

All you have to do is leave a comment here if you want to be entered to win the CD and DVD, I'll leave this open until August 6th, and then randomly choose a winner!  Be sure to leave me a way to get in touch with you should you win!  Good luck!  (Open to US and Canada only.)

Wow, We Won!

Our blogger friends Heather and Penelope won this cute dress by Kookie:

There was a giveaway on Kookie's Facebook page for a dress just like it, and guess who won?! We get this dress for Ingrid:

Cute, huh? What a great note in my inbox "You are the winner." Sweet.

Anyone Want to Win an Ergo?

Samantha over at MamaNotes is hosting a giveaway for an Ergo carrier! That is amazing. Those things are expensive and I've heard they are the best carrier ever. Ingrid is getting a bit big so her days of carrying are numbered, but think of all the people I could pass this down to when she's done with it!

Try to Win!

Over at clothdiaperblog.com they do a great weekly giveaway, Feed your stash Friday. This week's giveaway is THREE BumGenius diapers and a pair of BabyLegs. I am so excited for this one because I have just found the glory of BabyLegs and cannot get enough of Ingrid in her fluffy diaper butt with leggings. It's too adorable. SO...go on over to clothdiaperblog and enter!

Our New FuzziBunz

So we won two FuzziBunz diapers!! We got them in the mail a couple days ago and my first impression is that they are so luxurious! Perhaps it's because we're using super old, very used cloth diapers that have life left in them but aren't anything new fangled. I am pleased with our diapers, one because they were cheap, two because they were used, therefore nothing new had to be processed for us to get them, and three because they do the job. After all, they are being used to catch pee and poo--if they do that, I'm satisfied.

But these FuzziBunz!! Oh my god, I got them out of the envelope and just kept touching them. They have fleece inside and it's very very soft, something you'd want to put up against your baby's butt. Like you know how you feel when you get a new sweatshirt and it's unbelievably soft inside? That's how these diapers are.

I just tried one on Ingrid and it's trim and cute. The diapers we have are one size, but they change size using the snaps on the front. The FB have adjustable elastic on the leg openings and on the waist. Which means they are very adjustable to kids with fat legs and/or fat bellies, which is nice. Ingrid has the chubbo legs but a skinny belly, so sometimes it's hard to find things to fit right.

She wore them a couple times and it was very strange because I KNOW she went pee, but it didn't feel wet at all. That was so strange to me, as our other diapers get wet when they are wet. I'm not sure how I feel about that, actually. I like the idea of her being able to be in her diaper for more than an hour, but the thing I like about cloth is that she feels it's wet, and hopefully will want to go on the potty sooner than if she never feels it. Hmmm, a blessing and a curse??

But overall, I am in love with FB diapers!! If we have that second baby I will for sure get some small sized fancy diapers. They are so soft and cushy and not at all bulky. I like our plain jane diapers for every day, but I could see using the FB for traveling and days out and about. I'm so thankful to clothdiaperblog.com for having this giveaway so I could try something new :)

We're Out of Zout!

I just thought we would try another giveaway since we were so lucky with the FuzziBunz one :) If you are looking for a great stain remover, try Zout. It is the best. A friend gave it to me for a baby shower gift and it was probably the most useful gift I got! Now that Ingrid is feeding herself and we're going through many wardrobe changes a day, I need to get some more.

And Frugal Mommy of 2 Girls is having a giveaway for a free bottle of it! Sweet!
