Seventh Generation Diapers: Product Review

We were Pampers people.  Until they switched to Dry Max and we found ourselves in search of the next perfect diaper ASAP.

We tried the Up & Ups, Huggies, and many more.  When I was about to give up hope, I noticed Seventh Generation made diapers, too. 

Seventh Generation has been in our house for years in the form of cleaning products but they also make chlorine free diapers and wipes.

Soft, cloth-like comfort keeps baby safe and dry.Our Chlorine Free Diapers offer soft, cloth-like comfort and premium absorbency. In addition to keeping your baby dry, our super absorbent polymer is non-toxic and hypoallergenic. Featuring stretchy leg gathers and resealable closure tabs.


Here's what I like:
  • They don't leak.  We have not had one leak even over night.
  • They are non toxic and hypoallergenic.  They don't smell like chemicals.  The ones we have used in the past smell like chemicals and that's not a good feeling.
  • They are plain beige.  No characters, polka dots or obnoxious designs.  Just plain and perfect under white dresses in the summer.
I think that about covers it - ha ha. 

These diapers aren't available everywhere so I have started to use http://www.diapers.com/ to order them.  If your order is $49.00 or more you get free 2 day shipping and if you use the code SWAN0435 you will get $10 off your first order!

Happy Diapering!

Yesterday I was the Evil Queen and today...

Ellie shouted, "Mama!!!  You saved the day!!!"

My how things change around here. 

I bet you're wondering what I did to save the day.

Well I won't keep you in suspense any longer.

I took the bottle that holds the bubble solution out of the Bubble Mower, filled it up with cheapo bubbles from Target and put it back together.

Wah lah.  I saved the day.

The end.

Pop Quiz!

We are taking a break from Wordless Wednesday because we've been a little picture and video heavy at Ellie-Town the last few days. So instead we'll have a little
Pop Quiz.
Here's the question:
Who is this?


If you answered The Evil Queen, you would be correct. But apparently it is also me.


The setting is a perfectly sunny day. Ryan had just come home from work and everyone was playing together very nicely. Ellie decides that she wants to be a princess {big surprise} and throws on the closest princess dress, grabs the magic wand, tiara and steps into her high heeled shoes.

Ellie then begins to cast the rest of us in her fairy tale. Ryan is, as always, Prince Charming. Madeline is a step-sister. Ellie has no idea what a step-sister is other than that it has the word sister in it and Madeline is her sister so there you have it. Typically I am The Queen. Not today. Today Ellie tells me in an ominous voice "Mama, you are the EVIL Queen!"

WTF.

Really?

I'm the Evil Queen.

Ryan couldn't hold in his laughter. He asked what I did to deserve Evil in my title.

I went back through the day... could it be that I didn't let her have an Oreo with her Go-Gurt? Or maybe it's because I took her to the park and only let her play with her friend for 2 hours. No? I got it! It must be because when we were at Target I let her pick two things from the Dollar Spot instead of the usual one rule.

Trust me, there are days where I could deserve the title of Evil Queen but today wasn't one of them. But I think I have the real answer. It's pretty simple.

Three year olds have no perspective!
How about you? What was your best role? And your worst? Make me feel better!
