Wry Baby Review (Toddler Tee’s & Backpacks)

Wry Baby Review

I cannot get enough of this brand people! They are so ahead of the game and always right in line with what is hot and hilarious. Wry Baby’s newest line is their Toddler Tee’s.

Toddler Tee’s 

pony 1delivers

Wry Baby has been such a fun and popular brand that parents like me have been so bummed when our children outgrew their Wry Baby snapsuits. Growing is a good thing, but keeping my kids in super funny clothing shouldn’t stop just because they ate their Wheaties (….do people still eat Wheaties?).

There are 6 tee’s that are now available. 3 in Simple Fit and 3 in Fancy Fit.

No matter the tee you choose, you will get compliments left and right when you are out and about. Every time I have my daughter wear one of her Wry Baby toddler tee shirts out we get at least 1 compliment. They fit so well and are just charming.

Wry Baby’s toddler shirts are 100% cotton and are made with the same attention to quality that made their baby clothing so special. Wry Baby’s Fancy Fit toddler t-shirts feature a slim silhouette and cute little cap sleeves. Wry Baby’s Simple Fit toddler t-shirts rock a topstitch ribbed collar and a roomy cut for roughhousing.

These tee’s are just perfect for playing outside, running a muck around the neighborhood and remind you to always call your mother (…seriously, you should call your mother and say hello today).

Backpacks

backpack 2a1

With back to school season here (boo! we want summer!) its time to sack up and grab a new backpack. My daughter is not yet 3 years old, but that doesn’t change the fact that she wants to wear a backpack and pretend to go to school. I have tried buying her a few different small backpacks. All of them fall off her tiny toddler frame. That was until Wry Baby made their toddler sized backpack. Now my little imagination-machine can wear a backpack, full of very important items like 32 necklaces and a plastic cupcake, while we go out shopping for them day. But in all seriousness, it is important to help your child engage in imaginative play, and that would include playing school. By providing her with a backpack she can wear, that can stay up on her shoulders and not slide off, builds her confidence. I want her to be confident and know that I want to help her be the person who she wants to be, and if that is pretending to be a preschooler then darn it, I want to help. Thank you Wry Baby, honestly, for building my toddlers confidence as she wears her own big kid backpack.

Mama’s Experience

Thirsties All-In-One Hook and Loop

AIO

I reviewed Thirsties AIO Hook and Loop style cloth diaper.

I own a few brands of AIO cloth diapers. AIO’s are always my go to nap diaper. They are typically absorbent enough for naps but not quite absorbent enough for overnights. My son is 18 months and he pees a normal amount while sleeping. He naps are 1-3 hours long one time per day. At night he sleeps 10-11 hours. I always try all the diapers I receive at least 1 time overnight. I call it the “overnight test” (very catchy name huh?).

1

This Thirsties Baby AIO diaper….PASSED! With flying colors! I am SO excited that I have an AIO diaper I can use overnights! This will make overnights at his grandparents house so much easier. They are not into the whole “cloth thing” as they call it. Which is fine, I know that cloth is not for everyone. Having an AIO option to offer them may make the overnight diaper experience with them a tad easier and maybe they will use cloth more when they watch him.

My favorite feature: The insert goes from top to butt!

You read that right. Every other AIO I have seen has the insert start at the butt/back side and fall forward towards the front/belly side. The insert moves around and gets curled up in there a lot of the time. With Thirsties design this doesn’t happen! It lays where you want it to; in the middle and flat. I think this is a mind blowing and such a great feature. I seriously have no clue why anyone would make the inserts go the other way now. You need to grab one of these diapers and try it out for yourself.

insdie

This Thirsties AIO has the best hook and loop laundry set up I have seen. They are strong. So strong my son has a super hard time undoing them. When he is just in a diaper and tee-shirt (hot summers ya know) he tries to take off his diaper sometimes. The velcro is very secure and it is almost (but not totally) impossible for him to remove this diaper.

  2. Feet stay comfy and dry with Momo’s breathable and anti-bacterial insoles. The insole is easily removable to you can see if the orange strip is worn away. If ts is, your child is ready for a larger size.

The sole has an indicator to easily see if your child has out grown their shoe size!

side of Momo Baby Shoes

My children are outdoors kids. They want to be outside from the moment they wake up until I make them go to sleep. They run, jump, climb, tackle & explore all day long. This is what we want our growing children to do. They need to be curious and learn through play. Momo Baby shoes are so comfortable and durable that my children were able to play for hours and never complained about their feet! A lot of children’s shoes now-a-days are made very poorly. They cut into a child’s foot, causing marks, blisters and even cuts which bleed. This totally bums me out when I see the marks left on my child’s feet after we come inside. After roughhousing for about 3 hours this afternoon out in the pasture, and doing laps around the horse barn, both children’s feet were smooth as can be. No cuts or marks here! I am so glad we found a reliable shoe brand that we can count on. I highly suggest checking out Momo Baby and grabbing a few pairs of shoes today.

Simba & Mama Cloth Diaper Review

Simba & Mama Cloth Diaper Review

1a

Who is Simba & Mama

Simba & Mama is a new cloth diaper company run and owned by Mama Fifi. Fifi was living in Bali when she was pregnant with her daughter, Simba. She found out that all the trash, including disposable diapers, were simply burnt due to lack of space. This really bothers Fifi (and myself), so she decided to do something about it.

Simba & Mama was created to help not only babies like my own, but also the people of Bali. Cloth diapers are not very prevalent in Bali. Mama Fifi has chosen that for every Simba & Mama diaper that is purchased she will donate 1 diaper to a family in Bali. This will not only help cut down on the air pollution in Bali as well as the earth’s atmosphere, but it will help educate the mothers of Bali that there is another choice other than disposables.

What Does Simba & Mama Sell

There are a lot of cloth diapers on the market, so what makes Simba & Mama special?

  1. Buy a Diaper, Give a Diaper
    1. You help reduce the earths air pollution by helping a mother in Bali receive a cloth diaper.
  2. Simba & Mama pocket diapers come with
    1. (1) Little Lion Club pocket diaper
    2. (1) Newborn microfiber insert
    3. (1) Adjustable microfiber insert
    4. (1) Reusable fleece liner
    5. (1) Small wetbag

Mama’s Experience

When I first opened this diaper I was so excited to see how it was packaged. It was neatly folded up and inside the wet bag is comes with. Not only do you get 2 awesome microfiber inserts, but you get a bonus fleece reusable liner. These are so great for any child. No one likes to feel wet after they go potty. These fleece liners are like little cloth super absorbers. They pull the urine away from your babies skin quickly so they can then move back into the microfiber insert. This gives you baby a stay dry feeling. I use fleece liners during naps and for bedtime. Now that my son is 18 months I don’t want to have to change his diaper in the middle of the night, but I don’t want him to be uncomfortable either. These fleece liners help him stay dry and help to avoid diaper rash!

I love this diaper in so many ways, but I am so excited that I have found another overnight diaper! Not all of my cloth diapers are overnight options. My son has skinny legs and we need to have a special insert combo inside a diaper as well as tight leg gussets to pass the overnight test. The Little Lion Cub Diaper passes this test! I am so excited about this!
