My Swim Baby - Review & Giveaway!
As mentioned earlier this week - we are in the middle of swimming weather and we love spending time at the pool. What I don't like is that you have to purchase a swim suit and swim diapers for children that aren't potty trained. I understand why and I believe it's a good reason, but the disposable swim diapers that I see most people using (I've used them too) just don't work for us. That's why I was really excited to find the iPlay Swim Diaper Tanksuit for my daughter from My Swim Baby.
I absolutely love the iPlay Halter Tanksuit for my daughter. I've had other swim diaper suits before, but this is by far my most favorite. Not only does the suit fit great, it's also modest for a 2 year old and is going to keep whatever messes we have at the pool contained. You can't even tell that she has a swim diaper under her suit, other than it's a little bulky - it absorbs and is made of woven nylon to wick away the moisture. I also like that you put the suit on and it's fitted around her waist to keep the bottoms close to her bum as well, like a diaper underneath but all fitted together. This particular iPlay Tanksuit comes in a selection of colors, maybe you're not into the tanksuit, there are several other kinds of iplay suits and items available at My Swim Baby as well.
My Swim Baby carries all sorts of items for swimming and not just for girls, but boys too. Search the brands or items you are looking for. Maybe you love what you are currently using but need more, or a bigger size. My Swim Baby is a great site to check out for purchasing.
Win It! One Momma In Flip Flops2 reader will win a regular iPlay swim diaper in your choice of print (subject to availability). To enter.

Bummas - Review & Giveaway!
I love being a cloth diapering mother, I really cannot imagine using anything but cloth diapers for our family and that's why I also only use cloth wipes. Not only does using cloth wipes make the changing process a lot easier with cloth, no separating garbage with wash items, it's better for my daughters skin as well. Bummas are a great wipe product, that don't have to be for just cloth diaper users or used as wipes.We've been using the Bummas wipes for quite awhile now on my daughter sensitive skin - they work great for cleaning her bottom. Made of 100% cotton, woven velour terry cloth. I use a wipe
solution, spray it on and they're soft and easy on her skin. The only thing for us is if we have a big mess they're a bit small and I would prefer them to be just a bit bigger, however considering the size of the fabric it wipes more away then you would expect. They have not begun to fade or fray at all, which is nice to find in a wipe. Bummas are also great for drying the babies skin after using a regular wipe that from in the past I've noticed leaves a lot of wetness that you don't want to leave on your babies bottom covered up with a diaper. Also great for laying in your diaper to help heal a rash, for bath time, stopping those unexpected squirts while changing and more. Bummas also come in different colors- all very cute!Win It! One Momma In Flip Flops2 reader will win their very own set of Bummas in the color set of your choice. To enter.

Lil' Miss Dolls - Review & Giveaway!
Doll making is where my own sewing skills began as a child. This is the same idea that started Lil Miss Dolls. The "intent with Lil Miss Dolls is to use them as a teaching tool for children to learn basic sewing and creativity." Lil Miss Dolls offers several different doll patterns to choose from as well as patterns for the dolls' clothing. The patterns come as instant online downloads so you can try another outfit anytime you want. No waiting. No shipping! Lil Miss Dolls Kits are available with the supplies you'll need for each doll. Or order just the pattern and customize your doll using your own fabric to match any skin, hair and eye color you like.
This doll was fun to make and turned out really cute! My daughter LOVES her Lil Miss Doll! In my opinion, these dolls are the perfect project for the "tween" crowd as they are fashionable and fun to make and trade outfits but the dolls still have a young girl type body rather than the inappropriately proportioned fashion dolls you'll find in stores. I'd consider the Lil Miss Doll patterns somewhere between beginner and intermediate skill level. The instructions are straight forward and easy to understand but some of the techniques used might be a bit challenging for a real beginner. The only flaw I found with the Lil Miss Dolls pattern/instructions was a kind of major one. When cutting your fabric pieces, it directs you to cut 4 leg and arm pieces but neglects to tell you you'll need to reverse the pattern for 2 of each of those if using reversible fabric, which you will be if you order the kit. I unfortunately did not realize this until after I cut the fabric and did not have enough fabric left to re-cut the pieces so my doll ended up with no feet as the pieces did not line up correctly. Luckily I realized it before I cut the arm pieces. I think it still turned out very cute!Win It! One Momma In Flip Flops2 reader will win a Lil Miss PDF Pattern. To enter.

Ingrid & Isabel - Review!
I've been wearing out my ruched tank from Ingrid & Isabel - made of Nylon and Spandex I'm able to keep cool, while proudly showing off my growing bump as I get bigger. As many of you know I'm a huge fan of ruched shirts and this was my first tank that really drew me into loving
ruched items more and more. It gives it style while really giving you a slimming look, me having a short torso I love that. This shirt gives you great support and even though I have a shorter torso this is extra long for tall people too. You cannot go wrong purchasing this tank - it's fabulous!I also tried out the everyday cami. I pretty much don't go without a cami under my clothing and what I love about the cami from Ingrid & Isabel is it gives you a snug, supportive fit, while being long enough for your growing belly. Easily worn under everything because it doesn't bunch up like some cami's do. Cami's are a must have in every one's wardrobe in my opinion and this is a great maternity cami that can be worn through your pregnancy and after.
Ingrid & Isabel also carry the ever popular BellaBand and in Organic. Also leggings, pants and more. A sure stop for maternity moms looking for basics. Check them out, what do you love? What's your maternity essential you must have?

Aerin Rose - Review & Giveaway!
I received the Shirred Tie Halter one piece suit & Shirred Banded Halter with Brief Bikini's in
maternity size to give to the test. Both suits are fabulous and fit well with extra room for my growing belly during the rest of my pregnancy. My favorite is the one piece and I tend to be more of a two piece tankini type of girl. The reason being is that it fully covers you and the neck line isn't really low cut (that's not my thing) yet it still gives you some style. It also has ruched sides that I love ruched sides, they make you look great, the sides are cut up really high and there is a really cute extra tie in the back for more style. This particular suit also as a great built in under wire and accommodates d/dd, which is really hard to find - and you know you're getting top heavy when you're getting ready to meet your new baby. I liked the two piece and wear it as well, however the cut is a bit lower in front. This suit also accommodates a bigger cup size.Aerin Rose also carries suits non-maternity suits in various styles, cover ups and plus-sized suits that look like they would fit great as well. I look forward to wearing these suits even after baby - they don't give you that boxy maternity tent look, but a slimming cute look. Fabulous for all mommy's!

Peek-A-Boo - Review!
My pregnancy is coming to an end and those essential nursing pieces are soon to be put to good use. The problem is, where do you find those pieces that so many times you really need? Peek-A-Boo has some fantastic pieces that are function able while nursing, are going to give you a sleek cute look, yet many can be worn while you're pregnant.I've been wearing my adorable cap sleeve, ruched side, gray maternity/nursing shirt a lot these
day. The ruched sides give you a great slimming look, and the belly stretches while I'm pregnant but easily forms back to shape so I'll be able to wear it for awhile after I have the baby. The nursing flap is awesome, one of the first nursing shirts that you can't even notice the flap and when you do lift the flap up, there's a cute little duck peeking out at you. This shirt is fantastic. It's easily dressed up or down and the fit is perfect.Check out the collection of Peek-A-Boo apparel and where you can purchase here. What are your favorite nursing pieces? Where did they come from and why do you like them?

Fuji EnviroMAX Batteries - Review!
"The materials that make up a Fuji EnviroMAX battery are derived from the basic elements o
f the Earth. There is nothing inside a Fuji EnviroMAX battery that will harm the environment if it is disposed of through normal waste systems. A few reasons why are that Fuji EnviroMAX batteries contain no harmful mercury, cadmium - nor are they packaged with dangerous (and non-recyclable) PVC plastic. Instead, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are made in some of the world's most eco-respectful battery plants, operating under some of the most strict standards of environmental responsibility. In fact, most of all resources used in the Fuji EnviroMAX manufacturing process are reused and recycled! What's more, Fuji EnviroMAX batteries are labeled and packaged with recycled paper and P.E.T. plastic. The result is batteries that meet a world standard for environmental responsibility and recyclable materials."I'm always excited to get my hands on batteries - in this household it seems like we go through them entirely too fast. However we've been using our EnviroMAX batteries for over a month now, putting them to the test in some talking animals that use a lot of power because of how much use they get - they're still going strong.
Fuji EnviroMAX, won two awards creating a Family Friendly identity. 2009 Seal of Approval from the National Parenting Centered and 2009 iParenting Media Award. Try these batteries out for yourself, you won't pay more for them either!
