It’s here! The Grand Finale of My Favorite Things!!
The inaugural year went relatively smooth but I did learn a few things for next year.
The big one: What was I thinking when I said I would ship the prizes out??!
I may set up a donation jar just for that!
I have been so pleased with all the prizes and participation from sponsors and YOU!
Thank you for your love.
Enough of all that chatter, let’s get to the prizes!
Drumroll…
Why in the world do I have Mabu Baby on my favorite list, you may be asking? Or you may be wondering what/who the heck is Mabu Baby?
Good questions. The who/what is Mabu Baby is the new reusable diapering system available in many Walmart stores across the country.
They why is simple- I like the simplicity, accessibility and re-useability. Plus, they are absorbent.
I’ve included them because I’d love to spread the word and help them grow their outreach.
Mabu Baby has donated a starter kit that includes
- 2 diaper outers
- 2 snap-in pad holders,
- 2 washable diaper pads
plus - 2 disposable diaper pads and
- 5 liners
I love easy and I love soft. Give me a minky all-in-one and I’m set!
Diaper Daisy is donating an itti bitti d’lish snap-in-one in fun lime minky!
itti bitti is an excellent brand. They are very absorbent and no stuffing required!
I’ve been a fan of itti bitti for a while now and I look forward to you being a fan soon.
Remember on Monday when I gave you a chance to win a 6-pack of ALL SNAPS Omni system with a SUPER pod and you didn’t win??
Here’s your 2nd chance to try and win!
You guys LOVE Softbums, I can tell by all the gushing-with-adoration comments you send me about Softbums.
I’ve teased you with Ragababe cloth wipes twice throughout this giveaway. No more teasing.
RagaBabe has donated a super-hard-to-get newspaper print easy AIO diaper.
Seriously.
Oh so painstakingly slow I am building up my stash of these. The hype is completely legit.
Everything about RagaBabe AIOs is perfect. Now if production could catch up to demand we’d all be in a happy place.
My Favorite Things event has had many sponsors but a very special thank you goes out to Beth of Sweetbottoms Baby for her donation of my final item.
Every mom loves their babies, especially all of you who commit to months and years of dunking, rinsing and washing dirty cloth diapers.
But, sometimes you just need a break from the crying, fussiness or clingyness. That’s when a baby carrier is a MUST.
Don’t reach for that Baby B’jorn, please don’t. As the wife of a chiropractor I will tell you that the Baby B’jorn is damaging to your back and baby’s spine.
What you can reach for, however, is an Ergo Organic Petunia Pickle Bottom Peaceful Portofino! Gorgeous and ergonomically correct.
You’ll have a happy baby, happy spine and stylish look.
I’ve chosen to include the Ergo in the giveaway instead of my favorite (Beco Butterfly II) for a couple of reasons. 1) Sweetbottoms offered so of course I said yes! 2) The Ergo tends to be a favorite with dads. 3) I’ve been told it has a smaller learning curve.
HAPPY BABYWEARING!
Don’t stop with the beauty of the print. Go ahead and pimp that carrier with Jillian of PAXBaby! PAXBaby is offering her Pimp My Carrier services for your Ergo!
Now that you’ve cloth diapered your baby and carried him around all day, go take a nice relaxing bath.
Don’t forget the Victorian Rose Tea Bath that Bee All Natural is providing for you!
Soak your worries, aches and frustrations away.
Are you ready to enter?? Ready. Set. Go!

Hoping to win prizes for my little angel, Caroline.
December 17, 2011 at 4:39 pm
I’m sooo excited about this day’s prizes! I would love love love a Pax carrier for my 10 month old boy-he is so independent and wiggly but we love to go outside to explore. I’ve spent too much money on numerous carriers, even sewing something myself (don’t worry-no competition here-it didn’t work). He just hates being confined and has to face outward to see what’s going on!
December 17, 2011 at 4:38 pm
Absolutely LOVE this giveaway…& the products featured in it. RagaBabes top the charts! And PAXbaby provides the best carriers and is a great baby wearing resource all around. Thank you as well as all the sponsors for the opportunity!
December 17, 2011 at 4:34 pm
Visited all of the pages. I have to say, you have great sponsors! I’m so glad you introduced me to PAXBaby! I think I’m going to try their rental program to see what carrier is for me!
December 17, 2011 at 4:32 pm
This is an amazing giveaway!!! Thank you sooo much!
December 17, 2011 at 4:31 pm
WOW, what a generous giveaway! I would be so grateful for this with my LO due in March, though she is trying to come early! I commented on Paxbaby’s facebook page and I can’t believe how much Sweetbottoms carries!
December 17, 2011 at 4:28 pm
left a comment on softbums, realized through all these giveaways, i really need a tutorial on carriers! have tried a few and not found one that ‘we’ like. DS is determined to have his hands out and about and so many (maybe it is the user?) don’t give him the freedom he desires.
December 17, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Cuteness overload!
December 17, 2011 at 4:22 pm
LOVING all the new sites I have found, I’m new to CDing and loving every minuet of it. Thanks for all the great sites to check out.
