Haiti and Snappy SwimzEaze: Review/Giveaway

New Added the Facebook page!  gain more entires!  

Today I want to do a review of a shop!  NOT an item...but a shop.
This shop is called Handmade for Haiti 
I stumbled on this shop as I was looking for some "flip-flop" things for my girls bedroom.  I love to shop on etsy, and browse the shops and see the unique and cute things that all the talented people make.  I found an adorable money bag with flip flops embroidered on the front.  I fell in love with the idea behind this shop and so I want to help them out.

This is the Breakwater School 5th grade class.  

This school is in Portland Maine

I did do research and make sure this was legit before I decided to do this.  I really feel these kids are doing an amazing thing and I want to help them in their efforts!  

Here is some information I found on their school webpage 

In an effort to raise money for the people of Haiti, Breakwater School’s Fifth Grade Students have begun a website called Handmade for Haiti. Handmade for Haiti sells handmade items such as knit hats, scarves, and mittens, paintings, soaps, and coasters. Original photography is expected to arrive on their site soon. Some of the handmade items have been made by the students, while others have been made by the Breakwater School Community–including parents, teachers, grandparents, and friends. One hundred percent of their proceeds will go towards disaster relief for Haiti—though the students are currently researching which non-profit they feel would be the best fit for them to send their proceeds to. 

The students came up with the idea for the website after being devastated by Haiti’s suffering after its recent earthquakes. They immediately wanted to find a way to help. Many students enjoy knitting and have taken knitting enrichment classes at Breakwater. Others thought their paintings would be a great way to earn money for the cause. 

How neat huh?  How can you not want to help them?
So this is what I came up with.

Nifty Nappy Snappy SwimzEaze

Keeps your babies tush comfy while keeping your mind at ease, knowing that everything will stay in the diaper and not in the pool!
Don't you hate buying a swim diaper and then using it once and throwing it away? With this reusable cloth swim diaper you can get many years of swimming in and have an adorable water baby!

My swim diaper have always been big sellers in the spring and summer months!  They are fun and work great!  They have an inside layer of microfleece so there is some absorbency.  They have a hidden PUL layer so the poop won't leak out, and the elastic on the legs and back help that also.  The snap settings are such that these will fit a variety of kiddos.  

I have 2 different sizes on these, 

small: fits 7-25lbs.  or newborn to size 4 disposable diaper  

large: fits 20-40lbs.  or size 2-6 disposable diaper

Cute and fun huh?  So now for the details and to merge the two thoughts.  :) 

For March, April and May I will donate $2 from every swim diaper I sell from MY site  *not counting retailers unless they want to join in* to the Breakwater 5 th grade class for their Haiti fund.  

I also will offer (on top of that) a 15% discount to anyone who purchases an item from the Handmade for Haiti etsy shop.  You will need to email me or tweet me that you purchased with a link to the item you bought then I will send you a SECRET CODE to get the discount!  :)  

So I guess I have done the review, now for the giveaway part.  I debated on doing this... I decided to, but I really want the main focus of this to be on those kids and how awesome their efforts are.  

So up for giveaway is one Nifty Nappy Snappy SwimEaze, your fabric choice and size choice.
