I love how informative your blog is. This event is awesome!

Ok, so due to unforseen circumstances the event is not running quite as I had planned. I'd had it all worked out to do one company/product a day for the month of December. Because of the way things are going, this event is going to run past the end of December, which is just fine with me. Everyone will still get their feature day and ad space etc, and we will all get to enjoy cute fluffy butt giveaways. I have so many great ones in store!
I have been asked a few times about multiple winning issues. I have decided that if by chance someone wins a giveaway more than once, the limit will be 2 times total for this event. So no worries that one person is going to get randomly lucky and win it all! Lol.
I posted a new giveaway tonight, and I'm hoping to get another up tomorrow. Please be patient with me while I get things back in order and on schedule. We're having a tough time getting our lives back together right now which is why my posts are delayed. We're getting better day by day, and I haven't forgotten about you out here in bloggy land. I hope you all can understand why the event is changing like it is. Thank you.
The winner was picked via Random.Org and the number chosen was 174.

Learning to wash cloth diapers has been an adventure all in it's own. There are do's and don'ts and directions with diapers and directions online and soaps after soaps after soaps. Thankfully I found a GREAT solution for washing my diapers. Rockin' Green Soap not only gets them clean, but it gets the stink out, and makes the diapers look new again. I was sure one of my dipes was stained forever but Rockin' Green proved me wrong!
I ordered the Soft Rock version in Cherry Lemonade and it smelled yummy. The Soft Rock is meant for sensitive skin, while the regular formula can be used on normal skin types. Rockin' Green has tons of scents and options (including scent free). It works in HE machines and is great for hard water. At only .13 cents per load, it's a great deal because you only have to use about a tablespoon of it per load. Yay for saving money and getting the stink out! ( I used it on my normal clothes too. It was just as awesome for those.)
And now for the good stuff:
Rockin' Green will be giving away a bag of 45/90 (45 regular or 90 HE loads) soap in the winner's choice of formula and scent! This is a great prize mamas! Nothing is more valuable than keeping your diapers smelling good and looking great!
Here are the details:

Ok so I've been mia for the past few days and I fell behind on my reviews/giveaways. Sorry about that one ladies! I'm hoping to post 3 tonight to get caught back up but Josiah is a handful today so we'll see what happens. Have no fear though, I will get them ALL posted even if the event runs longer than the end of December. (Which I think it will anyhow. We have some new sponsors popping up! Exciting things!!) Ok, On to the review.

Absorbency: For us personally this is a day time diaper. The included inserts are very nice and one of them is even adjustable but it just wasn't enough for Josiah. The first time using these after I prepped them, he peed through the diaper in about an hour. Call it a newbie mistake, so now I prefer to stuff the pocket of this dipe with an Indian Cotton Prefold. I use the included inserts as boosters and it's all good. Someday we will find that overnight solution. Lol.

When I first got my Fuzzi Bunz OS diaper in the mail I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. The sizing isn't the way of a "normal" one size diaper and I wasn't sure I could trust the leg elastics to hold up to me trying to figure out what size setting my son needed. I was surprisingly proved wrong almost instantly. It is SO easy to adjust the size. The elastics have yet to wear down, but they send an extra set just in case!
So here's the breakdown:
Fit: Great! (I kind of really am in love with this diaper.) The legs have mini gussets preventing leaks even when Josiah was umm... sick shall we say? (Thank you disposable liners btw).
Absorbency: Awesome! Fuzzi Bunz OS comes with 2 microfiber inserts and I use them both. After washing a few times they were set to go and I can even sometimes get away with using this as my over night diaper. Especially if I add a prefold in there with the inserts. (Like I said, he's a heavy wetter. Lol)
Cost: Retail cost is $18.95 (msrp). So it's a middle of the line diaper cost wise. However, due to the adjustability and OS feature, you can use this diaper for multiple kids. I think it would be worth the investment of having at least a few of these in your stash.
Overall Opinion: A good trim option for a one size diaper. The leg adjustments are 
easy to use AND easy to replace if you need to do that. The inserts are awesome and I've even used them in other diapers. If I could say one draw back it might be the snaps on the front. I have a hard time getting my squirmy wormy to stay still sometimes and it's hard to get the snaps on the right setting every time. But that's probably more of a newbie mistake than a design flaw. All in all, Fuzzi Bunz One Size? LOVE it!
On to the good stuff right? Fuzzi Bunz has generously offered on very lucky reader TWO OS diapers! (Choice of Boy, Girl, or Gender Nuetral)

I love today's feature diaper. Three Monkeys is a fabulous Etsy shop that ma
kes All In One and All in 2 Diapers in so many prints it's mind boggling. Although she has her store stocked, she does run her business on a custom order basis, and with over 250 prints to choose from you're sure to find the right one for your baby.
I was able to test out the newer version of her diaper the All In 2 in a Flaming Skulls print. (Can I just say... How cute is a fluff but with flaming skulls?!) Ok, moving on. The way she does her AI2's is something I've never seen before but I really like it. Inside the diaper there is a terry cloth that you trifold to make a "soaker" of sorts. It really makes the diaper absorbent and it easily lasts a few hours before needing a change. I like to add in an extra insert inside the trifold for just a little extra boos
t of protection. So let's break the diaper down for you.
Fit: I ordered a L/XL for my little guy. As I mentioned he's about 23 lbs and the diaper fits him perfectly with room to grow. The leg elastic hugs up nice and snug without making uncomfortable marks. I have yet to have a leak with this diaper and um... Let's just say he's given it a run for it's money if you know what I mean.
Cost: Very affordable. With 2 and 3 packs running from $25-$30 you cant go wrong. They are well made and a great way to test out if cloth is for you. With no extra "work" needed, they act like a sposie, but better. No rash, and cute prints!
Overall Impression: I really like my Three Monkeys Diaper. I use it during the day and I haven't tested it at night because my little guy is the super soaker of all super soakers. During the day however, he runs, plays, climbs the couch... in short, this diaper isn't going to leak on you if your baby is active. No worries there. I would say this is a great day time diaper, with potential to be a nap time or nighttime solution if your little one isn't a heavy wetter. I also like the option of having snaps because my son thinks it's SUPER cool to take his diapers off. He hasn't figured out snaps yet thank goodness! Lol
And on to the good stuff.
One lucky reader will win a L/XL Gender Neutral (Yellow print with monkies!) AI2 diaper to add to their stash.
