Lifefactory Glass Beverage Bottles

Feb 28,2012 / By Maria / 1 Comment

Without going into great detail, I wanted a reusable bottle that wasn’t plastic or metal (that leaves glass, LOL!) and was easy to sip without a straw. It also needed to be easy to clean, and I preferred not to have to unscrew a lid each time. I’d heard of Lifefactory glass baby bottles, and I happened to be browsing around the time their flip tops were introduced. They were (and still are at the time of my writing) part of Amazon.com’s buy 3 get 1 free promo, so I bought 4!

They have a silicone sleeve to make it easier to grip & less likely to break (though they are still glass of course!) You don’t have to remove the sleeve to wash the bottle, and the whole shebang is dishwasher safe.

They are available in 22 ounce bottles and 16 ounce bottles. I pre-ordered all 4, but only the 22 ounce bottles arrived. The 16 ounce bottle hasn’t shipped yet.

The tops are interchangable between sizes, and you can buy the tops separately.

The flip top moves all the way back out of the way, or just push it back a little bit. The handle makes it really easy to carry.

I haven’t broken one yet and the water tastes great. The opening could stand to be a tiny bit bigger. I like the oval shape (I don’t dump water on myself) but it kind of makes a “glug glug glug” noise as the water comes out.

The 22 ounce bottles (including flip cap and sleeve) are $24.99. 16 ounce bottles are $22.99. The bottles with the standard screw on caps are cheaper, and Amazon’s prices are a little less all around.

I love these & I wish they had a thick glass “cup” with sleeve for kids who are too big for sippies but not quite big enough for regular glasses!

Apparel & Accessories Discount Sale

PaigeLauren Baby Quartz & Ruby Clothing is 30% Off Through 2/29

Feb 11,2012 / By Maria / No Comment

In October I received a PaigeLauren Baby (PLb) bodysuit for our new baby and I’m so sad that he is close to growing out of it. The 0-3 month size fits 10-12 lbs and 20-23 1/2″. My guy isn’t quite 10 lbs yet at 9ish weeks old, but he’s somewhere in the range of 23″ and that extra fluff from the cloth diaper is making it hard to snap!

PLb is luxury clothing for infants, so it’s a little pricier, but it’s amazing. It is luxuriously soft and silky, and has held up fantastically. My son’s onesie is the Ruby color, so he wore it for Christmas, and I’ll squeeze him in it one last time for Valentine’s day!

PaigeLauren Baby has put their Ruby (red) and Quartz (pink) clothing on sale, so your cutie can be stylish for Valentine’s day. Through February 29th, all Ruby or Quartz items are 30% off! No coupon code necessary; you will see the discount reflected in the product selection drop down.

Will you wear red (or pink!) on Valentine’s Day?

Kissed by the Moon – Bumgenius 4.0 Albert or Lovelace Cloth Diaper Giveaway (CLOSED 1/24)

Jan 10,2012 / By Maria / 18 Comments

Kissed by the Moon is a great new cloth diaper retailer run by a Mom who has been cloth diapering for over 5 years. Naturally, they sell cloth diapers and cloth diaper accessories from both big, and up-and-coming brands, but there is much more to them than that!

They also sell toys and items for Mama. They offer free shipping with a $25 purchase, and have Kissed Cash loyalty points, a gift registry and gift certificates. You can check their clearance and specials pages for great deals! They also have GroVia packages available to save you more.

Kissed by the Moon offers gently used cloth diapers for sale (with a no risk 7 day return), and they will buy your excellent condition diapers for store credit!

My favorite feature of Kissed by the Moon is their cloth diaper rental. We’ve all heard of newborn cloth diaper rentals, but this isn’t limited to newborn diapers! They have newborn diapers, one-size diapers and bundles available to be rented, and best of all, the diapers are all new! You pick the type of diaper, the quantity needed, and the length of time you want to rent the diapers. You can also specify girly, boyish, or gender neutral colors. You get cash back when you return the diapers, and earn loyalty points if you choose to keep diapers after renting. You also get a 10% discount on accessories when you purchase your rental and each rental comes with a free diaper rash cream & detergent sample! Read the diaper rental terms and conditions for complete details and FAQs.

Kissed by the Moon is co-sponsoring the Fall in Love with Fluff event February 1-7. You can win a $500 cloth diaper package, and I am a participating blogger, so you will be able to enter here!

Kissed by the Moon loves talking with their customers, and if you have a suggestion for a brand or item you’d like them to carry, they’re all ears!

Giveaway: One reader will receive a Bumgenius 4.0 one-size diaper in hook & loop closure, Albert or Lovelace print or his/her choice of solid color in hook and loop or snap closure. (ARV $17.95)
