11 – Storing Cloth Diapers

Aug 8,2011 / By Maria / 1 Comment

Well, we almost didn’t have a Mailbox Mondays this week! Here I am, just dying to answer your questions, and I didn’t get a single submission. For shame! 😉

Questions don’t have to be cloth diaper related, just email maria at change-diapers.com with “Mailbox Mondays” in the subject, or fill out my contact form for readers, which you will always be able to find on my Contact Page.

Catherine came to the rescue and asked:

I was wondering- after my babe outgrows her dipes, is there something I should do before I store them so they don’t get stinky?

I hope everyone is liking the new Rafflecopter entry method! The winner screen shot shows “1 day left” since I am ending giveaways at 9 P.M. rather than 12:01 A.M. as Rafflecopter defaults to!

I believe 149 people entered this giveaway (not quite as easy to figure out as it was with Google docs!) and there were 339 entries. I’ve used Rafflecopter (powered by random.org) to select the winner, and that winner is #9, Chana Putnam.

Congratulations Chana, I’m sending you an email now so you can claim your prize!

Giveaway Made in the USA Review

Little Looster Potty Stool Booster Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 8/11)

Aug 4,2011 / By Maria / 26 Comments

The Little Looster is a unique step stool designed specifically to give little potty trainers/users a boost on the loo!

It’s unique design is convenient for little feet, but stays tucked under the potty, so it does not need to be moved for adults to use the toilet.

It wraps around the toilet, so your little one’s feet are supported whether he likes his feet out front, or prefers to hang them around the side. It also means you don’t have to worry about him taking a tumble and/or flipping the stool over if he doesn’t step off the potty perfectly in the center of the stool.

Though I thought the stool looked really big when I took it out of the box, it fits perfectly even in our small half bath. The stool doesn’t tip over no matter where my son steps on it, it doesn’t slip (it has non-slip grips on the bottom) and the textured design means he doesn’t slide or slip, even when his feet are wet. I was worried that it might collect dirt on top (like another step stool we have, which has rubbery nubs on top) but it hasn’t!

It’s very easy to use:

Maybe a little too easy, hee hee. I did eventually get him to use it the right way!

My son is very petite, so he sometimes does need a little bit of help getting himself over the raised splash guard on the potty seat, but he is really close to being able to do it himself every time!

I would love to see the Little Looster in other colors, and I’d be thrilled if they would design the perfect step stool for the bathroom sink! The Little Looster is available at retailers for $34.99, and is manufactured completely in the U.S.! Monica Mylet developed the Little Looster over the course of three years to meet a need their family had, and I really enjoyed looking at the Little Looster along the journey!

~~Giveaway: Little Looster is offering one reader their own Little Looster stool! (ARV $34.99) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form below! You may view Rafflecopter’s Privacy Policy.~~
