Giveaway: 1 bumGenius Freetime AIO
In celebration of Earth Day and to encourage the use of cloth diapers, Ava's Appletree is giving away one of bumGenius' newest cloth diapers, the bumGenius Freetime AIO.
If you are new to cloth diapers, there is no easier way to start cloth diapering. The bumGenius Freetime AIO (All-in-One) is designed like a disposable diaper. You don't need to learn any folding techniques and you don't need to stuff inserts into this diaper. The absorbent inserts are sewn right into the diaper, attached only on one end making tumble drying a much faster process.
The bumGenius Freetime AIO diaper is very trim and generally fits babies 7-35lbs, making it a wonderful addition to every parents' diaper stack. Please visit: http://www.avasappletree.ca/bumgenius-freetime-all-in-one-cloth-diaper/ for more information.

Flip Potty Trainer Review
Compared to our older daughter, our son seemed to have a much harder time to get through the day without accidents when we began potty training him. The toughest part was all the extra laundry we had to do as most of his underwear wasn't waterproof and therefore his pants got wet as well with every accident. I couldn't resist taking out a pack of Flip Training Pants when they arrived in our store to try them out with our 2 1/2 year old son with the hope of finally having a product that would keep his clothing dry, would work well over-night and that would finally get him out of diapers.
Here is what you get with the package: 1 one-size waterproof shell with 2 detachable, stretchy tabs (to hold the pants together on the sides) and 5 organic cotton inserts.
As with all cloth diapers you have to prewash them 3-5 times to reach maximum absorbency. I only washed them twice before our first use because I was too impatient to try them out, but they were already plenty absorbent.
After fiddling around with the inserts for a just a few moments, I was able to attach them to the cover through velcros. The velcros are covered by a piece of PUL so they won't destroy your other diapers or laundry.
Our son is an average sized 2 1/2 year old boy, a bit on the slender side, and I had to set the snaps to the smallest setting to ensure a snug fit around the legs. I believe though that it would also fit well on most younger children since many kids thin out after the age of two, like our son. The product recommendation is 18 months to 4 years.
Then I needed to wait for his first accident! Of course nothing happened. When it was time for his nap I placed a waterproof cover underneath him, still not quite trusting that the shell would keep all in.
But it did! Yes! After his nap his insert was soaking wet but on the outside he was completely dry.
The side snaps opened easily, the cover was reusable after a quick wipe, I removed the wet insert, attached a new insert and he was ready to go.
Best of all, he really likes his new training pants and was proudly showing them to his big sister and my husband. So cute!
My only concern is that with one poop the cover would probably need to be washed, so it's best to have a spare set of training pants handy.
Overall I highly recommend Flip Potty Trainers, they are fun, reusable & reliable.

Handmade Soaps: Craft Ideas for Children
Making handmade soaps with children is easy and a lot of fun and is a perfect afternoon activity for those cold January days when you'd rather stay at home. They also make wonderful gifts from the kids for auntie's or grandma's upcoming birthday. The best part is to see your kids proud little faces when they see what they have accomplished.
What you need
100% Pure glycerin soap (you can find this in any well-sorted craft store)
Molds (we used some silicone cupcake forms and glasses)
Ingredients, you can use whatever you like. In our sample we have used lavendar, pine needles from our Christmas Tree, pressed flowers (leftovers from the last summer) & pomegranate seeds to add some rich colour.
How it works
Cut the glycerin soap into small blocks and place them into a glass. Melt the soap by placing the glass in either a hot bath on the stove or in the microwave for a couple minutes.
The soap is now liquid and can be slowly poured into the molds. Layer ingredients and soap until your soap has reached its perfect size.
Let it dry.
The soaps can be easily removed from the silicone molds once dry or can be tapped out with the help of a knife out of the glass.
Done!
Enjoy your handmade soaps!
