J TiBBS said...
This is such a wonderful giveaway. I would love to win because I have two kids in diapers and am always looking to find new diapers to try out. We are a mainly prefold family minus a couple here and there. I love the Smarti Pants, these are fantastic diapers and such a good price, especially when you have two that need diapers. Thanks so much for offering all these wonderful prizes!

Congrats!!
And, thanks to everyone who entered!
Lots of other great giveaways coming up so keep checking back with us!

The MOTHER of all giveaways! HUGE cloth diaper basket valued over $200!!

It is time...
I have been SO insanely busy and im SORRY SORRY SORRY...
BUT because of all the chaos, I have managed to put together the MOTHER of all giveaways.
You all know were trying to be more eco-friendly over here at RockerByeBaby...
I reuse all my boxes...
All my USPS packaging has been recycled...
The only paper I print is for my labels...
I buy locally as much as I can...
and the list goes on and on...
so when I had the idea to do a cloth diaper giveaway...
I totally ran with it.

One diaper turned into two... then four... and then seven...
and by the time I said, enough...
I had a total of 8 diapers (one AIO), 3 diaper covers a wet bag and a prefold.

Who's the best? I know, i know... you love me :)
And its ALLL for you...

Now, lets talk about all the goodies in store for you...
I have personally tried EACH one of these...
well, not these exactly, these are new for you...
but each seller sent one for me to review... and one for you...
anyways... back to business.
Each item has had a thorough review...
and Ill do my best to give you each and every detail that I can.

*DING DING* Round one :)

Starting with the first batch of closeups...
and well, kinda my favorites in the diaper world...
In MY experience... for MY kids...
these two worked best.
But, dont get me wrong, they're all great or I wouldn't be representing them!

In the Top left hand corner we have The Eli Monster
Steph makes the most awesome AIO diapers...
She has all the coolest prints...
does lots of cool custom screen printing...
and her AIO's stand up to the test.
They're easy to use... no snaps to adjust...
no inserts to mess with... just put it on and your done.
And the best part - When you wash it it dries in one cycle.
Most AIO diapers take 2 or three!
Want your own Custom diaper from The Eli Monster? Click here.
She also sent a prefold! (shown in the wetbag)
They're great for using as a diaper with a diaper cover over top...
Or even as an insert for some extra protection.

Next we have a diaper by Dish Rag Baby.
Super cool zebra print and you know me, I love the Rock n Roll style...
It has a cotton zebra outer...
anti-pill fleece inner, sandwiched PUL...
and a snap in 15.5" x 15.5" microfiber rag as a soaker.
She is a total rockstar when it comes to diapering.
And its my favorite diaper for nap time.
I have used it multiple times and it only leaked once.
Thats pretty amazing in the cloth diapering world.
Scared you won't win the zebra diaper and want to buy one?
Well you can click here to buy one yourself.
They're on Clearance for just $12!!

Now last but totally not least in this photo is the Wet Bag!!
Its made by Evie Hearts Milo
So cool, so punk rock... so much skully goodness :)
And so FUNCTIONAL!
There is usually no nice way to ditch a dirty diaper...
But this wet bag makes it easy.
It holds about 3 to 4 diapers depending on the size.
And keeps in all the ooey-gooey grossness.
This is an absolute necessity for all cloth diaper-ers :)
Want to buy one? Click here...
and check it out!
She has lots of other awesome-ness too! T-shirts, onesies, and more!

Round Two!

Top Left & Right Corners: Happy Baby Cloth Diapers

Now this is another set of great diapers.
Im a big fan of HBClothDiapers.
AND theyre big "tweeters"! Follow them @HBClothDiapers
Their diapers are perfect.
Basic PUL to make them waterproof...
snaps to make them one size fits all...
and inserts too!
Now, they worked best for me when I doubled up the inserts.
Otherwise, he soaked through really fast... but with two he lasted a couple hours!
So, I highly recommend that.
They come in lots of great colors and her customer service is great.
Oh, also - probably TMI but Im gunna tell you anyways.
These were great for poopy diapers...
I just flipped the diaper and it popped out.
ALSO washed great - not a single poop streak! hahaha
*Note to self: son will hate me in the future for talking of his poops to the world*

Below the Happy Baby Diapers we have CUSHY TOOSH!
Greatest name every right? too cute...
THere are so many amazing things coming out of this shop...
I dont even know where to start...
well, I have to...
so lets start here... Snack Bags, Baby Wipes, LINERS...
and of course - diapers.
They come in all different colors and even prints if you check the site.
They're super absorbent - and if you need, you can always add extra inserts.
Check out this listing here and you can customize your own perfect diaper.
These really are great diapers.
When there is PUL in a diaper it makes a world of difference.
You just bulk up the pockets depending on what you "need"
and the diaper does the rest!

Round Three!

Top Left corner - we have the diaper for the SmartiPants
Now, this diaper is a bit different than the rest.
Its similar in thickness and style to the CushyToosh and Happy Baby...
But there are a few things that make it stick out.
#1 - its totally affordable. A 3 pack is just $39.95
#2 - its completely one size fits all with all the snaps.
#3 - The have a special patented pocket...
Its open on both ends so you can pull out the insert at either end.
Now, at first we had trouble with this diaper.
It took a few tries to figure out what worked best for us...
but now we have no troubles.
First, I used it as a cover with one liner dropped inside.
That didnt work for me and was my mistake.
Second we use the soaker inside the pocket, that worked better...
but he leaked after about 45. minutes...
Finally we learned that we need two soakers in the pocket, and then we were fine.
Now it is our trusty diaper that we wear when running errands...
throw in two soakers and he is good for a couple hours!
Check out Smarti Pants on Twitter! @thesmartipants

Next in this photo round we have Wild Child for Babies!
Totally awesome diapers. The red is such a great red, I love it!
Now, lets not forget the inside a soft micro suede...
It also comes with a liner to help flip out those messy poops.
ALL diapers should come with this...
It makes life much much easier.
Poopy diaper? Just take the liner flip it into the toilet...
flush, and toss the liner into your wetbag.
Its SO much easier than trying to dump a diaper.
The diaper is super absorbent and has a bamboo fleece insert that you can fold up.
It starts out as one bid two layer square...
you can fold it into halves or thirds depending on what you need.
Get your own red diaper here! Just $15!!
Or check out the rest of her shop for a ton of cool prints and styles!
Im headed there right now to buy another one i loved it so much...
and she has one of my favorite prints, Ooga Booga that i just gotta have!

Last but not least we have the Nifty Nappy!
The craftsmanship is amazing.
I love the look of the surged edges on the outside...
and she has a ton of cute prints!
She has bibs, swim diapers, and my new favorite, the Trainers!
I LOVE the design of her new training pants... SO CUTE!
Now lets talk diapers...
Its a little different from the others.
IT does not have PUL and requires a cover, but it is totally awesome.
She uses lots of Organic/Bamboo/Hemp fabrics...
She recommends using one of her Wool Covers over the diaper.
Or, you can do what I did, and use one of the covers from the basket!
There are three to choose from!!!

FINAL ROUND!


In the top left hand corner we have another treat from The Eli Monster
Everyone knows Im a big fan of Steph...
and this cover just stays true to that.
Super awesome Regent Skulls print (a favorite of mine)
These covers are great over diapers like the one from The Nifty Nappy above...
Or you can use it as a swim diaper!
Perfect for summer!

If you look to the right we have a cover from BrookieBaby
The design a little different from Steph's
There is a cool elastic visible trim all around the outside...
and little velcro tabs to keep it together.
She sent one of my all time favorite Michael Miller Prints...
its bright and colorful and stylish.
Another great way to use this cover is with a prefold diaper.
I sell them in my shop here.
You just wrap the prefold around babies bottom... pin with diaper pins.
Then put the cover on over top and ta-da! Diaper :)
And, totally affordable.
If you have a second, follow Brooke on twitter! @Brookiellen

Last but not least in our goodie box of treasures...
We have another diaper cover by ReThink Crafts
Her covers are great.
They still feature the PUL fabric that we all know and love...
Nice thick durable velcro to keep things secure...
and of course, tons of fun prints to choose from.
Like the others, this could be used as a swim diaper...
a cover for an existing diaper, or even a cover over a prefold or soaker.
Covers are a great affordable way to cloth diaper.
You can buy a 12 pack of Gerber prefolds for $11 @ Walmart.
Buy a hand full of diaper covers and just interchange them all.
I highly recommend picking some up from these sellers.
They are a GREAT investment.

So thats it!

If you put all of these goodies together we are looking at over $200 in value.

This was a huge boom in business, naturally.

I got married on July 18th, so planning totally took over.
But when all was said and done, it was fantastic...
and we all looked darn good :)

Then we went on our honeymoon right afterwards.

OH, and lets not forget... just before I left for all of that,
I was contacted about "gifting" nursery bedding for Angie Everhart.
This was a HUGE opportunity...
as there is going to be an article in Pregnancy magazine about it...
Which then turned into a 4 page spread in Life & Style.
Ill keep you all updated about when it comes out!

Just not always gunna happen...
Slip a little sex in daddy's lunchbox...

"Laughter is one of the best aphrodisiacs"
So really, its like killing two birds with one stone...
