What's Rockin' Green ReMix all about anyways?

Rockin' Green, one of the cloth diapering industries favorite and most trusted cloth diaper safe detergents has recently introduced a new formula.  Same great product as before, but a new version, a version they're calling "remix."   The name makes perfect sense because of Rockin' Green's "rockin" style.
But what is "remix" all about and how is it different from previous versions of Rockin' Green?

According to Rockin' Green's official website these are the changes that make the REMIX different from the past formulas.
  • Gentle for longevity.  The new blends have a lower PH then other detergents on the market, which means it's even gentler on fabrics and diapers.
  • It's safer for sensitive skin.  Having undergone cosmetic testing, Rockin' Green can now be used on even the most sensitive skinned babies.*
  • Better cleaning power.  Rockin' Greens new REMIX has more cleaning power per scoop, many customers have found a 60% reduction in stains, and are able to reduce the amount of "rock the soaks" needed.
*Cosmetic testing was performed using Rockin' Green Soap's unscented formula called Bare Naked Babies.

But how exactly was it tested?  Well laboratories had subjects wear Rockin' Green Soap directly against their skin for size weeks straight and then they were observed for an chemical or cosmetic allergies, irritation or other reactions.  The good news...Rockin' Green passed the test and showed no evidence of irritation or allergic reactions.

The Good News?  Well obviously the good news is that if your child has a history of rashes, irritation, etc. and you use Rockin' Greens Bare Naked Babies in the new REMIX formula you should have one happy little baby bottom.

If rashes occur with any detergents, it's easy to blame the detergent.  The truth is, rashes are usually not caused by the detergents themselves but by improper washing.  If you're diapers aren't clean enough then they'll have an unfriendly pH balance and they'll also be loaded with bad bacteria.  It's important to make sure your diapers are thoroughly clean, with the proper amount of detergent, before your baby wears them.

Rockin' Green recommends you use 2-3 tbsp per load or for HE machines or those who have soft water, 1-2 tbsp is recommended.

Curious as to whether you have the new REMIX or the old formula of Rockin' Green Soap?  Visit this link on Rockin' Greens website and find out how to tell the difference.

    Sweet Pea Organics Snack Sampler Pack Review & Giveaway! CLOSED

    Recently, through an act of social media fate, I was acquainted with Grace of Sweet Pea Organics. She's a super sweet naturally minded mama who owns her own business making healthy, organic, nutrient-rich treats and snacks for toddlers.

    My family and I are not super healthly food eaters but we're not really junk food eaters either.  We don't keep candy, cookies, sugary cereal or soda in the house, just your basic groceries and necessities, but we do try to stick to whole grains and other more natural foods and ingredients whenever possible.  So when Grace asked if I'd like to try her kid and toddler snacks, share my review and a giveaway I was wondering...what if my kids won't eat it?  Quinoa...that's not something we eat regularly and I'm not sure my kids had ever tried it.  But I agreed and we looked forward to receiving our goodies in the mail.

    When our package arrived the kids were tickled to death to receive such a great sampler, free t-shirt and lunch tote.  
    Although they are not teething toddlers, they are rambunctious four year old's who are known to want to eat non-stop!  They were eager to try these curious new treats and to my surprise they really like them.  Our favorites by far were the Kid Protein Bars which were more ball shaped than bar shaped.  They were soft, mildly sweet and very pleasant tasting.

    A real sign my kids don't like something is when they take a bite, chew slowly with their mouth closed and say "mmmmm" while shaking their head up and down.  Then they decline a second bite even though they claim to have liked said food. lol  Well I really expected that, but it didn't happen.  They loved the taste and didn't think twice about the Quinoa texture.

    The other treats we sampled were equally as good but didn't interest my little ones as much as the Kid Protein "balls."

    Surprisingly, Grace has found a way to produce a quality, organic, snack food that's good for your kids and it doesn't cost a fortune.  Each package costs only $2-$3 which is the perfect price to be able to give something a try and see if your kids like it before committing to an entire box or expensive large quantity package as you would have to if you were at your local Health Food Grocery.

    Her Teething Biscuits are just $2.00 for a Package of (10)!! That's cheaper than the grocery store!

    Grace's snacks even come  in a nut-free version and are perfect for kids with allergies or sensitivities.

    I'm giving away a Sweet Pea Organics Sampler Pack just as I received (as seen in the photos) to only lucky Cloth Diaper Geek Fan!

    Win it!
    Grace, Owner of Sweet Pea Organics

    One Size, Organic and All-In-One? Could a cloth diaper get any better?

    BumGenius Elemental, One Size, Organic, All-In-One Cloth Diapers!

    BumGenius is one of the leading and most popular cloth diaper brands on the market, and for good reason, they know how to make cloth diapers.  BumGenius cloth diapers are notorious for making diapers that are easy to use, easy to care for and work and function just as reliably as disposables.

    The BumGenius Elemental is a One Size Diaper AND and All-In-One which makes it really unique.  Generally One Size diapers can be bulky and since AIO diapers are all one piece, the concept of a one size and all-in-one was quite an innovation.

    The 6 layer organic absorbent liner is sewn into the diaper in the front and back, this loop design makes drying much more efficient, unlike other AIO's.

    Their snap down rise allows you to get the fit your need for your growing baby.  Need more absorbency as your little one ages?  The you can simply add a doubler like Hemp Babies and you'll have a diaper fit for a real super soaker!
    Overall I give the BumGenius Elemental One Size AIO Diaper a thumbs up!  It's the perfect diaper for families looking for an easy to use, cloth, and natural fiber alternative to disposables.

    These diapers retail for $22.50 each and can also be purchased in bulk if you'd like to save more.  Shop at WeeWillieWinks and you can also take advantage of their Free USA Shipping on orders over $50.00.

    So, have you tried the BumGenius Elemental?  What did you think of it?

    Expecting Twins? My thoughts on what you can and can't live without!

    A former customer contacted me recently, excited to be expecting twins and wondering if I had any twin insight I'd like to share.  At first I thought I wouldn't have very much good advice to offer but then as I typed my response I realized that my experience could help others and so I am happy to share it with you all.
    Mason & Spencer

    Bouncy Seats...
    You need two bouncy seats, we really got a ton of use out of those, obviously.  I was able to figure out a way to where the seats would sort of overlap and I could bounce one with my foot while reading a book to my daughter and it would in turn bounce the other seat as well.  No need for the super fancy bouncers, the cheaper ones work fine, plus the babies will enjoy looking at each other more than all those battery operated accessories.

    BreastPump...
    An electric dual breastpump if you plan on nursing/pumping.  I used the Medela Pump In Style and loved it, couldn't imagine life without it.

    Bumbo Seats...
    We had bumbo seats but I think if you don't teach them from a really young age to like them then you miss the window. I tried too late and my guys hated them and did not like using them at all but I did see how they would have worked awesome had I gotten them used to the seats when they were younger.

    Strollers...
    I wasn't big on gadgets and baby gear. I went through double stroller after stroller and finally ended up with a really nice, although bulky, double jogger.  Strollers are just not made to carry two 40lb toddlers even though they claim to be for two, that's like pushing an 80 lb person around.  The wheels buckle, give out, and the strollers are a real pain when they're not working properly. So my advice would be to just skip the rinky dink ones and go for one that will last until they're older and not just one that will work when they're tiny babies.

    Babywearing...
    What do I regret?  I regret not trying to babywear more,.  I didn't realize there were carriers that you could wear both tiny babies at once so I just wore one at a time and not that often because I always had the other to carry too.  There's a ton of info on Youtube, Try doing a search for "babywearing twins" or "moby wrap twins" and there you'll find video tutorials on how to do it.

    Do I recommend keeping twins on the same schedule?
    Yes, I personally think the same schedule is definitely best. Especially if you're nursing.  They nurse, sleep, eat, poop, cry, all at the same time. You get your routine down and still have a "little" time for yourself. If they were on separate schedules I can't even imagine the difficulty.  I co-slept with mine and they slept in the middle. I would lay on my left and nurse one and when the other needed to nurse I'd jump over to the other side and lay on my right. That way I never had to turn my back to either.

    Should you "try" to make them independent of each other or individuals? I don't think you have to "try" to make identical twins individual, they are not the same person and they will grow into unique little people just fine without our trying to make them independent of eachother.  My little guys are close, I think that twins fraternal or identical, but especially identical, should have their bond nurtured and treated as special as it is.  Mine love each other and are inseparable, at age three we told them they had to sleep in their big boy bed (together), instead of co-sleeping with mommy, and they have slept in their bed ever since.  They snuggle and cuddle each other and their closeness makes my life easier.  Perhaps it would be different if they were boy/girl fraternal twins, but for me, the twin bond is miraculous and I hope that the bond they share and that I've helped nurture lasts them a lifetime.

    Wow, so maybe I do know a little about raising twins! Who knew!?  I hope this helps some of you.  If you have comments to share, please do.

    Cloth Diapering on ANY Budget!

    Guest Post by Rebecca

    As most of us know, times are hard! So hard- families can't afford diapers (well, disposable diapers to be exact). Before disposable diapers were invented, how does everyone think kids were diapered??? OR for that matter- washed?!

    When I first started cloth diapering, my Baba (Grandmother) reminisced about the flat cloth diapers she used with my father and his 2 sisters. I remember her describing how she hand washed them, then hung them outside to dry. She also remembered how she potty trained her children around age 1 using- Elimination Communication! She then used all the diapers as cleaning rags, which she says- were the best cleaning rages she ever used. She didn't have "those fancy cloth diapers", as she put it, but she wished they had them when her children were babies.

    No Sew T-Shirt Diaper by Sara W Harding
    Well, just because some cloth diapers ARE fancy- doesn't mean cloth diapering is out of reach for families who have no extra money. Sure, they may not be pocket diapers, fitteds, flats, prefolds and covers that you buy from a cloth diaper company- it may be some old t-shirts or receiving blankets! But, ANY family can cloth diaper! There are cloth diapers and cloth diapering accessories out there for every budget.

    You could basically diaper for free. Just check out the NO SEW T-Shirt Diaper on HubPages by Sara W. Harding !

    By just using No Sew T-Shirt Diapers for a month- you could save enough money to buy flats, some prefolds or a pocket diaper or two, for your baby!

    To diaper for less than $50.00- you could purchase Flat Cloth Diapers and a few diaper covers. The options and diversity just keep climbing from here! You can choose from Prefold, Custom, Pocket, Fitted, One Size, All in One, All in Two and Hybrid cloth diapering systems! There are diapers available for all different prices. Cloth diapering can be as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be.

    Through proper encouragement and support, more families will come to cloth diaper their kids again. However, families who do cloth diaper need to be willing to share and educate those who only know disposable diapers. If everyone can see how frugal, simple, easy, cute and healthy cloth diapering is- more people will choose to do it! Myself and two friends, just started a Non Profit cloth diaper education and lending organization for our county. We are hoping to involve our local hospitals and government groups to support the promotion of the benefits of using cloth diapers. We are also here to help anyone who needs help where we live! We are trying to show families that you CAN cloth diaper on ANY budget and help families accomplish it.

    Let me tell you- I teach approximately 5 random women (whom I have never met before) every week about modern cloth diapering. Do you think they ask me about what is on my baby's rump? Maybe once a month that happens. What usually happens is me being in a store or out with the kids, I start up a conversation with a stranger and then I slip in cloth diaper talk. I teach close to 20 different women about cloth diapers every month! If every cloth diapering family could do this- all those sposie families will soon know about modern cloth diapering and HOW COOL it is. So, fellow cloth diaperers - get friendly, put a smile on your face, (don't forget to explain HOW CHEAP it COULD be) and share cloth diapering with those who don't cloth diaper!

    Cheers!

    Sewing your own? It's not as hard as you might think!

    Among cloth diaper users, there are usually a few different types of mamas.  Some who purchase their diapers from various retailers, some who make their own and those who like to purchase hand made diapers and accessories.  Most mamas who may not have ever tried to sew anything from a pattern, much like I was, would never even consider attempting to sew diapers.

    First things to cross your mind are...1)Way too complicated and easy to mess up and 2)The supplies are too hard to find at the local craft/fabric store so sewing your own just isn't an option.

    What you NEED to know is that there are mamas out there who are in the business of helping you sew your own diapers and they even sell all the supplies and patterns you'll need in one convenient shop!

    One such shop is Celtic Cloths Wholesale!  Jamie has everything you need to sew your own diapers, wipes, mama cloth and more and it's all available to you at wholesale prices!
    • She has a Diaper Fabric Glossary so you can figure out what's what and know the difference between them all.
    • Free Patterns & Tutorials for Wetbags, All-In-One's, Changing Table Pads and more!
    • Cloth Diaper Resources section for those who are new to cloth or might have cloth diapering related questions.  Her resources section also features information you need in order to know how to fix broken diapers, replace elastic, etc.
    • Patterns for Purchase from Ditto Daddy Trainers to Recycled Wraps, AIO's, Mama Cloth and more!
    Have a question or perhaps you want to take the plunge and just don't know where to start?  Email Jamie or become a Fan of Celtic Cloth on FaceBook and connect with other diaper sewing mamas!
