moving up...

We are changing hotels!

We found out that they have this suite rented out for the 28th and 29th.  

We would have to move out and find another hotel for a couple nights then move back in.  Too much work for us we decided.  so we called around.  There are some cabins up in South Fork that they rent out, and the once place has a little apartment too.  

We are going to rent the apartment.  We are hoping for only a few more weeks of this and then to get into a house, but we know how we really have no control over the timing of somethings.  

In the meantime I am really excited to be moving because this place will have a kitchen.  YAY!  With room for my table so I can start sewing again on Monday!  

So we are moving on... this is a trial for sure, but we can make it work!

breaking it up....

I decided I need to break the reviews away from this site.  I want to be able to keep the aim of this site mostly on cloth diapers and such.  I will try to blog more here and post all the links to giveaways.  Perhaps I can set up a linky thing or two.  maybe do some guest bloggers.  What do you think?

In the meantime though.  I want to keep doing reviews and giveaway with items my family reviews.  I have a line up already of some fun ones, and I am trying to pick up a few larger items.  To facilitate this I started a new blog.
6 and STILL Sane





But we all know how reviews work.... it the numbers aren't good enough... no review!
So to draw all you nice folks over for more numbers I am having a pretty dandy giveaway.  It will end Aug. 31st  -my birthday!
And what will it be you want to know.... well
I know this gal that makes cloth diapers and has a small WAHM business.... LOL!
Ok, Ok. . . it is a $50 gift certificate to Nifty Nappy.
So hurry over!
BUT bring all your friends with you.... we need BIG numbers to get BIG reviews!  :)

Photo Contest!

*** I am extending the date of the contest to June 13th!  for those that don't have my diapers and want to order some to enter!  :)  Hurry and get the orders in though!  I will work super fast and get them out to you ASAP!


I am searching for some really perfect pics of kiddos in Nifty Nappy’s!

I have some requirements though.

1. I need these photographer quality… don’t let that scare you though.  Things can be edited!
2. I need mostly panoramic photos
3. I need you to think about photo composition… we are looking for pictures of cloth diaper on cute babies and toddlers… not pics of toddlers and babies in cloth diapers.  see this blog post for tips
4. I must also be allowed to use them how I want on my webpage, blog, FB and in advertising.
5. No watermarks on them either… I will give credit when I use them.

Some things I will be looking for:

• babies in just Nifty Nappy cloth diapers or other products
• bright and fun -colors and backgrounds
• possibly some in nature
• photos with more than one baby showing off their Nifty Nappy’s
• a diaper bag full of Nifty Nappy products

Feel free to borrow your neighbors kiddos too  -the more the merrier!

I will be the one to pick the winner, and it won’t be my friends… it will be the BEST pictures I get…

Did you catch that I said PICTURES?  That is right… there maybe more than one winner too.  If I choose more than one photo.  :)

Hold on! Before you run get your camera, let’s talk prize k?

So what does the winner or winners get?

How about this:

• $75 Gift Certificate to Nifty Nappy!
• Custom t-shirt diaper (from your t-shirt)
• 20% discount on your next order

Pretty good huh?

WAIT! WAIT! a couple more things:

Contest runs now through June 6th. *now June 13th

I will announce the winner on June 7th  *now June 14th
