Each diaper fits babies 15-30lbs and include one large snap in soaker(4layers) and one small snap in soaker(3 layers).

83 year old man killed in Cranbrook house fire

2010-02-17T10:37:00.000-08:00

I would like to share with you all the reason I have been away the last couple weeks. There has been a tragic accident in my family and it has been a very painful time for me.

My Grandmother has dementia. My grandfather, an 83 year old amputee, did his best to conceal how bad her illness was. Claude (my grandfather) goes to bed around 9 o'clock every night. Kay (my grandmother) usually stays up until 11 or 12. Before she gets ready for bed she puts a new log in their wood stove.

Earlier in the week, they had been having problems with there 57 year old wood stove. The glass in the door had broken, which nearly started a fire but had happened during the day so it was caught in time. My father later replaced the glass with metal. The latch on the door was also causing problems, sometimes coming loose allowing the door to swing open on its own.

That night, before Kay went to bed, she stoked the stove and went to her room. She forgot to make sure the latch was secure and the door.....

As Kay regressed into her dementia her obsession with cats became more and more prominent, spending $800 to $1000 a month on cat food. She collected 27 cats which were kept in the house at all times, and at least 30 stray cats outside. She spent most of her day outside feeding the cats. As you can tell her illness was becoming a problem. But Claude was adamant on taking care of her as long as possible. Even though he had Hodgkin's lymphoma, one leg, and was on a six month bought of chemo, he dressed her, cleaned the house, and made all the meals.

Kay was in her room when the fire started. The wood stove door swung open and the fire grew until the pipe above leading to the chimney melted. Like a tiger torch the pipe shot large hot flames on to the ceiling quickly spreading about the kitchen. Kay heard this noise and suspecting her cats where up to no good shuffled into the front room where she was attacked by smoke and heat. Being 4 feet from the side door of the house she quickly escaped only to come to the sudden realization that her home of 58 years was quickly becoming engulfed in flames. Even though she wanted to keep the door open for her 27 cats to escape she knew that by keeping the door open it would only feed the already growing fire. Unable to return into the house she ran to Claude's bedroom window and began banging and screaming for him to escape. The house being as old as it was the window had be nailed shut and a heavy plastic placed on the outside for insulation, Kay was unable to open the window...

My Parents Lee and Judy live next door to my Grandparents. They all live on a 5 acre lot just outside of Cranbrook's city limits (Jim Smith Lake). Their homes are approximately 50-60 feet from each other. Judy had just lied down when she heard a loud crackling noise. Thinking that it might be her wood stove she went to check, and found Kay and Claude's house engulfed in flames that reached higher then the large pine trees that scatter the property. Waking Lee, whom got dressed immediately and rushed out the door, she called 911.

Lee found Kay walking aimlessly about the yard, about 5 cars had stopped and emergency crew where on their way. Claude was still inside...

Lee desperately ripped the plastic off the window, and broke the single pain glass window. A huge cloud of heat and black smoke billowed from the window. Claude's Bed was beside the window and he was lying with his head at the window, he had heard Kay's cries...

Unfortunately my father was too late. Clause had already passed. It only took three breaths for him to sacrum to smoke inhalation.

Emergency crews arrived quickly and the flames were put out within minuets.

So that is the story. I'm sorry it may have been too dramatic for you, but that is why I have been off work for so long. Claude was a very kind and caring man, and angel that came to walk with us for a while.

Snugs Bamboo Cloth Diaper Value Packs!

2010-01-20T12:19:00.000-08:00

Our Snugs Bamboo Cloth Diapers are on sale in the form of Value Packs! Right now get 6 Bamboo diapers any size any colors for $48.00 and 12 for $72.00! These diapers are super soft and absorbent. Choose between size Small (10-18lbs) and Medium - Large (15-38lbs). We have Pink, Yellow and Blue in stock, see the photo below for a better look at our color selection! These diapers are hand made in China,

Benefits of Bamboo:

Bamboo has many advantages over cotton. Fabrics made from bamboo are softer and are similar to silk in texture. Bamboo is naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and more absorbent, therefore keeping your baby dry and odor free. Bamboo fabrics dry twice as fast as cottons and can be worn all year, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Not only is bamboo good for you it is also good for the environment. Bamboo is a quick growing plant. Fertilizers and/or pesticides are not required to yield a successful crop. Little water is needed and they can survive through drought and flooding.
Bamboo also makes excellent clothing, not only for babies but for adults and children too.

How to Wash Your Cloth Diapers

2010-01-19T19:42:00.000-08:00

First and foremost, you will need a large gallon bucket or pail with a lid. You can find these at some restaurants, garden centers, and/or department stores. Sprinkle backing soda on the bottom to help mask the smell.

Choose a detergent that is safe for your baby. Some babies have sensitive skin so using the same detergent as their clothing is key.

Wash:
Store diapers in a pail until ready to wash. be sure to shake any large solids into the toilet. You may choose to soak your diapers with a little detergent while storing (simply fill pail with hot water and add detergent). When ready to wash dump entire bucket into washing machine (if bucket has been filled with water for soaking place machine on spin then start machine at the beginning and add detergent). Place machine on the appropriate settings for the load size and fill with HOT water, add detergent.

When you ready to dry make sure all inserts/soaker pads have been removed from pockets. Hang dry pockets and place inserts in dryer (do not use bounce sheets or any product similar). Be sure to avoid placing your diapers in the dryer as much as possible, the high heat can break down the PUL faster then normal.

Care:

Store diapers in a safe dry place out of reach of children. Once dry, place inserts/soaker pads back into pockets. If you have aplix diapers always remove the lint and hair from the rough parts after every wash. If you have diapers with snaps, inspect the snaps and the fabric around them every once and a while to make sure there is no lose or broken snaps that may be a chocking hazard to your child.

Free MomAgenda Giveaway!

2009-12-31T22:44:00.000-08:00

I absolutely love my MomAgenda! When I first realized I wanted a personal planner I was browsing a Best Buy in California while on my honeymoon. I came across a really neat agenda for moms. It wasn't a MomAgenda but I fell in love with the idea of a personal planner especially for moms.

When I got home, and resumed my busy life, I was wishing I had purchased the agenda book. I began researching, looking for it or something like it. At last I came across the MomAgenda! It caught my attention immediately! I fell in love after reading reviews and decided to buy one. But now what color to choose...hmmm? After much deliberation I went with Lime.

With much anticipation I waited for my MomAgenda to arrive in the mail. Finally it came, and ripping the plastic off I was soon flipping through the pages of my beautiful new agenda. I was taken back by the care and detail put into the layout of the book. In the front pages there are resources for moms, lists of websites, and for each week, an inspirational quote. In the back there are note pages, vacation planning, and places to list ideas for fitness, movies, books and more! What I really like is the removable essential book where you keep addresses, phone numbers, and Medical information. This book can be removed and placed into your new MomAgenda each year.

The only problem I had was I couldn't find MomAgenda products in Canada. So I became a supplier! I am not the only supplier in Canada there are many, most of them brick and motor stores.

So to share my love for MomAgenda's I have decided to host a giveaway!! I'm giving away a MomAgenda Mini Planner in Lime Green.

My New Cloth Potty Training Pull Up!!

2009-12-11T10:56:00.001-08:00

I have designed a new cloth diaper that is similar to a Pull Up. It is side snapping, has interior gussets, and is super trim and absorbent! It not only does holds in 'mistakes' it is easy for your toddle to use.
I had some mama's test this out for me before I introduced it. They loved that their children felt like they weren't wearing a diaper, and loved the fun colors.

Each trainer has a pocket in the back were you can remove the microfiber insert. So you can choose the amount of absorbency to help you in you potty training endeavours.

These are great for night time too! Just add extra inserts so your little one doesn't wake up wet.

I'll be adding these to my store in January for $10 each, So keep an eye out for them!

Hand made gifts this year?

2009-12-09T11:59:00.000-08:00

My goal this holiday season...handmade gifts for everyone!

I've decided to attempt to make all my gifts this year. I'm making hand made slippers for all the girls. These only cost me $2 to make, less my time of course! I purchased a used sweater from the salvation army, and used the yarn from it to make these adorable slippers. On the bottom of these are super soft and cozy suede cloth fused with sherpa.

I got a great idea for my little cousin. I found this wonderful little race track mat on etsy and decided to make something similar only with batting inside so it can be used as a comforter.
