Toys!


I'm so very excited about our new toy section! We now have a selection of Melissa and Doug toys in stock, and our little boy is crazy for them! I have to hide the boxes to keep them safe from his curious little fingers. Snatch up a few for your own little one, or for a Christmas gift!

Sleep Sacks!


Kohlr baby sleep sacks are in! Soft and fuzzy sleep sacks keep baby cozy and warm, without the need for blankets. Sheep's head and legs are satiny smooth, keeping busy little fingers happy as your little one drifts off to sleep. Our little man likes his so much he carries it around the house!

Also in are sheepy blankies - cute little loveys for your baby to cuddle up with. Satiny accents engage little fingers and fleecy bodies are perfect for snuggling.

O Canada!


To celebrate our beautiful Canada's birthday, we are giving away fantastic Canadian products to four lucky customers! Visit our site for details!

All purchases to the end of July are eligible!

Busy, Busy!


So much is going on in our little shop!

We now have three types of one-size diaper in - bumGenius, GroBaby and FuzziBunz. I'm so excited, they're all so cool! My poor little boy is getting changed more often than he'd like so I can try out the new diapers and I have to say I LOVE them!

We've added a One-Size Puzzler Pack with all three for $74.95, so you can try them all out and save a bit of money too.

I'm also super excited about our trial kit! Now people can try out cloth diapers for 2 weeks to get a feel for using them and discover what brands work best without a big investment.

Claudia's Choices


We just got in a box of Claudia's Choices Laundry powder. Awesome stuff for all your clothes (particularly for those with sensitive skin), but perfect for cloth diapers. In fact, Bummis recommends it! No scents, enzymes or brighteners, nothing to build up on your lovely diapers :)

More new products are expected over the next two weeks, so keep watching!

Why Use Cloth Diapers?

When I told my friends I was going to be using cloth diapers on my son, they were perplexed. "That's a lot of work!" or "Ew, gross!!" Were the most common responses.

But I'm stubborn, and I had set my mind to it. I scoured the internet, learning everything there was to know about cloth diapers. What they're made of, how to wash them, what kinds were available. Slowly I learned the mysterious diaper jargon, along with abbreviations like AIO, PUL and FB. I placed my first order and waited excitedly for my first "fluffy mail". When my son was 2 weeks old, I had begun to get the hang of being a Mommy and I tried them.

Turns out, using cloth diapers wasn't a lot of work at all, and the gross factor isn't any worse than that of disposables. (I mean, you have to wipe that little bum no matter what it's pooped in, right?)

So, here are the reasons I love using my cloth diapers!
  • No disposables in the landfill! (and no stinky disposables in the garbage can for a week until garbage day!)
  • His little bum is covered in fleece, bamboo, or hemp and is covered in breathable fabric
  • We have saved a ton of money
  • They are so super cute!
  • I don't worry about running out and having to run to the store for more. Ever.


How about you? Why do you love cloth diapers?

How Cute are These!

They're just so cute I think I need to go have myself a little girl :)

We Love Dimpleskins!


We got in our first Dimpleskins order and love their products! Bum Bum Balm is my favourite, it's cloth diaper safe, so no need to use liners on our cloth diapers when little James has a rash! And it smells so good!

We have a few of the gift sets too, with sample sizes of Sweet Cheeks, Bum Bum Balm, Cradle Me, and a tube of Baby Lip Balm in a cute little box. Perfect for a shower gift!
