This giveaway is going to be different from my other giveaways. If you follow me on Facebook you know that I have been putting together a huge raffle for a fellow blogger. Shannon's (Coupon Mommy of 3) three year old daughter, Emily, was recently diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Although I do not know Shannon personally I have seen her constantly helping businesses and other bloggers by promoting them and asking nothing in return. I wanted to put this together for her in her time of need.

This is all for little Emily

You can read about Emily's story here.

Bottom of the sixth



Excuse the clothes waiting to be folded, I am giving away a diaper right this minute! :)



great fit on his not so chubby thighs, but I do know of chubby thighs that they fit really well too!

Happy Heinys:
My little guy is thin and has skinny thighs, and we have no trouble with getting a perfect fit. He is 16 lbs; the one size is set on the smaller medium setting, YES there are 2 medium setting to ensure a better fit on those inbetween sized babies. The tabs on the diaper are overlapping on him so I am sure we will use this diaper until he is potty trained.

16 lbs and 11 oz with tons of room to grow!

TO BUY:
Bippy Diapers: Happy Heinys one size diaper start at $18.95, and she even has the new prints and colors!

 Let me start off by saying that is the diaper that started my interest (or addiction) in cloth. I won the diaper from Sugar Pop Ribbon's bog really by accident. I entered for the diaper to get an extra entry in another giveaway but was no dissapointed to see that I had won, and my eco-friendly children were so excited.
   This is one of my top picks in diapers, so much so that I had to get one in each color! How is that for addiction? I won a sunshine yellow and since then have bought the other colors from a wonderful vendor, Happy Baby Bum, during an irresistible sale. The sale was so great that I bought one to share!

AFTER THE WASH:
  I have to say that I find myself reaching for the Bum Essentials diaper as soon as it is clean and ready to go. It is super soft, even after many washes. I am so impressed with how it is holding up, the terry pads that come with the diaper remain soft and fluffy as does the fleece inner. Velcro is not normally my favorite for laundry purposes but the wash tabs on this diaper actually do the job, no diaper chains. I have also noticed that some diapers are easier to get smells out of and the Bumbino is by far top notch in that area, I have not had any lingering smells after a wash.

THE FIT:
  The velcro closure means a perfect fit is so easy to get that even daddy will change a diaper or two! The Bumbino is a one size diaper so the rise is adjustable so the diaper will fit until we are ready to potty train. It was very easy to find the right fit so that there is no gapping around the waist or legs, even on his no so chubby little thighs.
 You like a trim diaper? Just use one of the pads and this little Bum Essentials is just the diaper for you? Have a heavy wetter? Just snap both of the pads in and you are set! I personally love to see a little fluffy bottom so I always use both of the terry pads.

LEAKS?
  NO! Enough said? He has worn the Bumbino while napping with no leaks. I even put him in the diaper overnight, granted he is not a real heavy wetter, but we had no leaks!

WANT TO BUY ONE?
  Go to http://www.bumessentials.com/# to find their approved vendors, you want to buy from approved vendors so that you are covered by the warranty. Regular price is $19.99

WANT TO WIN ONE?
  That is where the fun begins! I am giving one lucky winner the same color that started my addiction, SUNSHINE YELLOW!!!
