With all the awesomeness we have to give away... its hard to pick which order! But since we just posted the Buddha Bunz giveaway... it seemed totally obvious that the NIfty Nappy giveaway just had to come next!! If you're a cloth diapering mama - then you just have to have a set of Budda Bunz dryer balls to quicken your dry time and leave them feeling soft and smelling fresh... and if you're a cloth diapering mama - then you HAVE to have some Nifty Nappy diapers!

Since Nifty Nappy launched they have sold thousands and thousands of diapers... they are now closing, but never fear... you can still get them all over... AND they are even selling the pattern so you could make them yourself if you wanted! Nifty Nappy is also still selling them on their fan page as they have overstock... and Vilate is always shouting out to the shops that still carry them as well... 



I believe the final count on my diaper stash includes around 10+ diapers (some newborns, some one size... and some pockets)... and 5 Woolie Wraps. "The Nifty Nappy diaper is a one size (OS) diaper. It is made to fit from 7 lbs. to 35 lbs. The versatility of a OS diaper saves you money because you have to buy fewer sets of diapers over the course of cloth diapering. They are also great with multiple kiddos as you can use it on your 3 month old and your 2 year old." My favorite part about the NN one size diaper is their super trim lay in soaker... In order for some diapers to be absorbent, they have to be bulky and full of layers... but the NN diaper is so thin and does just as well if not better than the big guys. Another of our favorites is the NN pocket... if you don't like fitteds and covers, its the way to go... You still get the super cute print of a fitted... but a thin layer of PUL keeps it waterproof. So you don't have to worry about Covers or Woolie Wraps... But the cutest of all? This adorable one size Owl diaper!! Its the one that will be headed to Sarah, AND the one that we're giving away!!

I can't tell you how excited we are to be hosting this little online baby shower for a REALLY great friend for mine... Sarah. Sarah is pregnant with a baby boy due August 19th (Ahem.. my birthday :) So we figured since so many states separate us from each other... an online shower was a necessity. For each gift Sarah gets... we are giving one away as well! There are 10+ sponsors... including RockerByeBaby of course... and we will be posting at least one a day, so be sure to keep checking back!!

To kick off this little party - we're starting with Buddha Bunz... now, its no secret that we are HUGE HUGE fans of her wool dryer balls... they are hand made (of course) and come in all sorts of colors, patterns & scents... My favorite combo so far has been *undyed*birthday cake* I love the pure, clean look of the natural wool.
And of course... who doesn't love the smell of Birthday Cake!? Or hey, maybe that's not your thing... never fear... there are over 50 scents to choose from... clean, fresh, fruity, sweet, manly... everything you could need. Not only do they make your clothes smell delicious... but they are eco-friendly seeing as they cut down dryer time... they also are safe on cloth diapers! Trust me... we have about 10+ balls floating around our house and in our dryer... Un-dyed... pink... turquoise... I can't even remember what other colors, haha but we have lots and love coming back for more. Its pretty often that I will go to switch loads and find an empty dryer. Why? Because the boys love to take the wool balls and play catch with them in the hallway!  Fun for the whole family. And you can never have too many ;)

Now - you made it through my rambling about my true love for Buddha Bunz... and Im sure want me to get to the best part, right? Well - the BEST part... is Sarah was given a set of two Un-dyed, Un-Scented dryer balls... meaning we are giving away a matching set! If you want, you can pay $2 to have both balls scented :)

It's with a GIANT SMILE on my face... and a tear in my eye... that I write you this post. Since we found out about my great friends battle, it has been a roller coaster or emotion... for all involved. Friends, Family... and mostly her of course - from good news to horrible news to better news... This Rock-Away-Cancer giveaway was no exception... DURING this push for prayers, thoughts, vibes, (whatever you send our way)... after one month double chemotherapy and no change, her brain tumor shrunk a half inch in diameter and the ovarian cancer is almost gone... I got that amazing news about 3 days into it... Can you believe it? Maybe all this positivity & love really can work! So don't think that just because the giveaway is over that you're off the hook... keep that sweet, sweet lovin' comin our way... we can use all the help we can get. We still have a long long way to go... surgery, healing, etc. And want that tumor as small as possible because surgery is he last resort... So first off, i just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for that...

Second of all, (and I can't even count how many times I have cried during this) I want to share with you all how much we donated... My goal was $500 and I would have been jumping for joy... I figured if even a fraction of people chipped in a sent a buck, we would hit that no problem... I would have been THRILLED had people donated $1. The first night, I was blown away... not one person donated just $1... everything was above and beyond. Some even came back to donate again... and in the end. The final total for giveaway entries was............ $1,175... So like I said, I have cried like a baby over stories, comments, messages, and donations I have received and couldn't wait to share this number with my friend... So HUGE thank you, again... You guys all exceeded my wildest expectations... HUGE karma points for you all. You will be repaid, some way... some how. :)

Lastly, the moment you've all been waiting for. The giveaway... now THIS was a challenge with well over 1,000 entries... I had to break down all of the entries... copy all the names into a spreadsheet... And THEN I found a random generator that would pick the name for me...

And this winner or the grand prize is.........
1. Dawn Milligan

And since everyone did so amazing, I wanted to pick 4 more winners for gift certificates.

$20 gift certificate:

2. Dancing Bear
3. Michael Palmieri

$10 Gift Certificate:
4. Allie McCarthy
5. Virginia Passarge


So I want to thank everyone once more... for everything. Your donations, your thoughts, your prayers... it is all helping.  This went over SO well, I may even do it again next month. In the mean time, we are working on some SUPER awesome shirts to sell... Should have those available for pre-order hopefully this week!! All hand screened, designed by me, and brought to life by an awesome tattoo artist, Emily, local to Minneapolis. Thanks guys!!
