Who is Nunamoochie?

logo

Nunamoochie makes beautiful baby wraps for everyday baby wearing. With so many baby carriers out on the market, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and know sure who you can trust. I can tell you with confidence that you can trust Nunamoochie. This business is run by a husband and wife team who pour their love and sweat into their business to ensure you are using only the best for your baby wearing experience.

Colleen & Tanni are husband and wife as well as the founders and owners of Nunamoochies. Back in 2013 the company was officially launched due to their family connections in India. Tanni has family who live in India and with his connections, they could find honest materials at a cost that would be affordable to the consumers. Tanni’s brother, Gurjit and his wife Aman run the India side of the business. They make sure that all the dyes are natural and safe. Aman seams all the wraps herself and even sews all of the ring slings! A real family business.

While the company does not have a standard stock print, or an official brand print, I asked Colleen what her favorite prints are. Her all time favorite is Mehndi, “I just love the design and it’s so meaningful to our family. Tanni’s cousin, who did my henna (mehndi) for our wedding, is the one who drew up the design for us. It’s repeatable in every direction and it just blows my mind that she was able to make that design with a pencil and paper”. I agree, the print is not only super original but it is lovely too. Being that it has a deeper meaning, I can see why it would be her favorite. Her current favorite is Anya, since it’s named after her baby girl, “I realized when I was pregnant with her that all of our designs were either boyish or gender neutral, so I decided I needed some pink in my life.  Also, the colors are meant to mimic a tequila sunrise, which is a drink I haven’t had in a long time but used to love!”

Service

I was blow away by the amazing customer service that Nunamoochie has. They are helpful, kind and quick if you have any questions or concerns with their products and brand. So many times your emails can get buried or pushed aside. Not with Nunamoochie. They sincerely love when people reach out to them. This makes them really stand out for me.

This wrap is floppy right out of the mailbox! I am so shocked at how easy this wrap is to work with. So many other wraps I have tried are stiff and take months to really ‘break in’. I can feel the texture slightly in this design, but it is very silky to the touch. On a scale of tough to work to creamy like milk, this wrap is creamy like milk.

14

The middle marker – used to find the center – is clearly marked on both the top and bottom rail. I love this feature. Being that this wrap is a palindrome in design, I can wear it either direction and still find the middle marker clearly. The markers are very small and are in no way annoying like some other middle markers.  My older child doesn’t like when a tag will rub against her when in a wrap and I do not need to worry about this with a Nunamoochie wrap.

The wrap I received was a size 6. It is true to a stand size 6 in length compared to other wraps. The ends are slightly tapered to make the tie offs easy and less bulky. The taper is not extremely dramatic, which makes this a great wrap for fluffier people. This way you have more full panel to wrap with and you still get the smooth and less bulky tie off. I am really happy with how this wrap is cut/designed.

16

The wraps are all finished by Colleen’s sister-in-law over in India, so you can rest assured that the edges are going to be spot on and up to their high standards. They tired to hire out other people to finish the wraps edging but they were not the quality of work they would want to put their name on. So instead they just do it themselves! That kind of dedication and personal touch really makes Nunamoochie stand out.

In my photos I am wearing my 3 year old daughter that is approx 32 lbs. I wore her for over an hour the first time using the wrap and it never dug into my shoulders or back. She was able to pull the top rail over her head, something she loves to do when upset, and I did not loose my snug fit. It has a great stretch for wear but only diagonally for safety.

This is a great beginner wrap. The prices range from $120 and goes up based on size (sizes 5, 6 & 7 have an up charge). Nunamoochie’s wraps vary in prince and can be as low as $109! This is such a great deal for such a quality wrap.

More about Nunamoochie

I asked Colleen how often are new prints released: “There isn’t a set schedule.  We did 4 designs the first year: Elephant Ears and Mehndi were the first.  Then Year of the Horse and SciFi.  We had leftover black & white (natty) thready from SciFi, so we decided to try the handwoven and that’s where Retro came into play.  Retro came out last year, followed by our second handwoven, Anya.  The 3rd this year is Sea Glass, the colors of which were derived from a photo contest winner (you can find the image on our Facebook or Instagram page). “

Where can you buy Nunamoochie? “We do not charge for shipping within the US.  We have a Canadian distributor (Tadpoles & Butterflies) and another for Australia/New Zealand (AngelRock Baby).”

Because of the affordable price, the ready to wear smoothness and the colored top and bottom rails, this is a great wrap for a beginner baby wearer, an expecting mom or a seasoned baby wearer.

Fresh Wave Review

Fresh Wave Review

It’s Safe ♦ It’s Natural ♦ It Work’s

What is Fresh Wave

Fresh Wave is my new favorite household product. I am seriously obsessed with it. I will tell you a bit about its background. Fresh Wave is now a household product available to consumers at Target. Fresh Wave has been used for years on an industrial scale. Residential areas would complain about sewage or water treatment plants stinking up their neighborhoods. Fresh Wave makes a super industrial odor eliminator which these plants can use to stop the odor from penetrating those residential areas. What is so special about this, is they are chemical free!!! Say what?! That’s right guys.

“Fresh Wave® natural odor eliminators use the power of nature and molecular science to get rid of organic and inorganic odors. Rather than masking unwanted odors, our products go to the source to destroy the odor. More importantly, Fresh Wave products use no toxins, so they are safe to use around people and pets.”Fresh Wave Website

Mama’s Experience

Gel

inside fresh waveThe gel containers are great for a 24/7 odor removal situation. I opened my gel container and set it in my laundry room right by my cat litter box and dirty cloth diapers. My 2 stinkiest smells in my house. Within about 15 minutes there was no longer any cat litter odor! I was so shocked that this really worked. I figured it would stop working by the next day…but nope! Still going strong. Occasionally I go and jiggle it a little bit and kind stir it up.  I feel like it helps it. I have no clue, I think it just makes me feel like I am participating in the action. These last about 60-90 days. I can attest that this is true. The picture seen here was opened 30 days ago and it is not even 1/2 way used up. I think it will last just abour 90 days. I use this by my cat litter box and LOVE how it works.

  • Removes odors from: pets, smoke, trash, food, bathrooms, basements and more.

Spray

spray

I love this spray! It is great for a bathroom deodorizer. Having a potty training toddler, life gets really interesting the the bathroom. Having this spray helps aid with the smells at least! Its even safe enough to be sprayed in your face! Your eyes, your mouth/nose, will suffer no ill effects from this product. Take that big name aerosol cans!

I love to use this spray in the restroom and by my cat box. I keep a Fresh Wave gel container always by the litter box, but sometimes when “that” moment occurs I need a little quick cover up and this spray works like a charm. I love how I don’t feel the icky thick residue other sprays leave in the air. Just a fresh clean feeling.

Be sure to shake before each use.

Can be used on: clothing, pet bedding, sports gear, shoes, trash and diaper pails…everywhere!

Packs

Fresh Wave PacksThese are perfect for our shoes and for diaper pails. Whether you use cloth diapers and wet bags or disposable diapers and trash bags, these packs help keep that odor at bay. You can place them inside your trash cans underneath the bag and just keep them there. They last up to 60 days.

I like to use these in my hall closet where I keep my shoes, inside my diaper pail to keep the urine odor at bay until I do a load of diapers and inside my kitchen trash can. I feel like the kitchen trash can always stinks. After now using the Fresh Wave packs my trash can doesn’t gross my out like it used it! I haven’t been using it for 60 days just yet, but I think that is a very accurate time frame.

 

Can be placed in: gym bags, shoes, boats, closet, car interiors, trash pails, diaper pails, or any small place.

Fall Into Fluff Giveaway

Fall Into Fluff Giveaway

Leaves are falling, locally produced Apple Cider is in the supermarkets and we’re preparing for winter. What better way to celebrate the change of seasons then with a fluff giveaway?! Welcome to the Fall Fluff Giveaway where one lucky winner will receive some great cloth diaper prizes! Products from companies including The Little Bee Co. Diaper of choice, Balm Baby Cloth Diaper Safe Balm, $20 Gift Code to The Smiling Tree Toy co. and Fresh Wave natural deodorizing products. It’s a really nice package of fluff goodies for one lucky winner!

A little about these companies. The Little Bee Co. is a Mom and Dad run business with products designed in Pennsylvania, ethically made in China. The company participates in “Diaper Drops” and donates cloth diapers to several orphanages and other very deserving areas around the world including right here in the USA! This team has seen first hand the real need for diapers in poverty stricken areas and have made it their mission to help change the world. Read The Little Bee Co. Review and learn more about this wonderful company and organization.

Smiling Tree Handcrafted is a fantastic company operating completely out of Minnesota right here in the USA! Their handmade wooden toys and keepsakes are made from USA sustainable wood and products including everything from teethers, cutting boards, toy blocks and Christmas ornaments can be personalized. In addition to being eco-friendly, a portion of profits from each item goes to the Peace Corps Youth Development Program. Read the full Smiling Tree Toys Review for all the information about this great company.

     To add to this wonderful list of USA based environmentally friendly companies I introduce Balm Baby. Made and developed in the USA in Hawaii (dream job) their products are consciously packaged in non-plastic toxic free containers including glass jars! The ingredients all look like they could just as easily appear on the menu at a high end restaurant and they are committed to using natural ingredients. Since products are hand-made, if you have a sensitivity or other request they can be customized on individual orders. Their cloth safe diaper balm is safe for cloth diapers, baby, the environment and washes easily.
     One concern many cloth diapering parents have is odor. While diaper pails, pre-rinsing and washing frequently are helpful…there can be lingering odor. Fresh Wave products are a new line exclusively carried by Target and help remove odors naturally and they report being safe for kids and pets (but don’t eat them). This package winner will receive the products seen here to help remove odors without toxins from their home! Best for smaller spaces, the odor gel and packets are in my bathroom to help provide freshness right next to our diaper pail.
     Onto the giveaway! Giveaway is open to legal USA residents 18+ void where prohibited and runs from 10/14-11/15/2015. One winner will be drawn randomly by the Gleam tool and entries will be verified. Winner will be contacted via e-mail provided and have 48 hours to respond.
