Just change like you would a disposable. Remember, even if you only use one cloth nappy per day, you are still making a huge difference to the environment!

Twinkle Lily also make environmentally friendly breast pads & pads. They come in a variety of fabrics and prints, so check out our range today.

   

NAPPY HUNT

March was a big month here for us, we were a sponsor in the Semi-Annual Nappy Hunt again. I actually found the time this hunt to look for the icons myself, and even managed to find a few of the Extreme icons, although I only got Outrageous on the last day of the hunt and I needed each and every one of the extra clues given out. It was a great hunt and very, very clever! Thanks to all the hunters who visited my site, and also to all the people who signed up for our newsletter during March. The lucky winner of our competition was 'Aimee' who now has a $25 gift voucher to spend on whatever she likes in store. I wish all the hunters the very best in the Nappy Hunt Prize Draws!

NAPPIES

We now have the pumpkin coloured Pop-In Nappies in stock. These are a new nappy designed in the UK. They are an All in Two nappy, meaning they come in two parts, the outer shell, plus a snap-in booster. The all in two design ensures they are easy to use, but also quick drying. Because the nappy already comes with it's own built in cover, you don't need to spend extra money buying covers. The nappies are 'One Size', which means you will also save money as you can use this nappy from newborn to toddler.

NEW PRODUCTS COMING SOON

We are excited to announce that we will soon be stocking some fantastic new products from Twinkle Lily. Look out for more cloth nappies, boosters and cloth pads to name just a few. All of the Twinkle Lily products are hand sewn by another WAHM, and all the products come in gorgeous fabrics. Here is a sneak peek at some of the products:

THIS WEEK IN MY NEW GREENER LIFE

Today I decided to start my compost bin. I've been thinking about it for a while and reading all the books, and I finally got myself down to Bunnings to buy a bin. I had looked around home but there was nothing suitable, but I found black plastic bins for $10 each from Bunnings, so I got 2 of those, much cheaper than the $100 purpose built compost bins.

I had my husband cut the bottom out of both bins and drill holes in the sides. I set the bins up in a good spot. I started collecting leaves for the bottom layer. I was walking around in the paddocks and couldn't work out why the cows were chasing me around. I'll admit I have no clue about cows, and usually we leave each other alone, but today they kept following me around and it was starting to freak me out. My husband came out and I asked him what was going on with the cows??? He said they thought I had food because I was carrying around a bucket. Of course!! I threw away the bucket and came back to our yard until the cows lost interest in the bucket (and me!)

I went out again to empty my bokashi bucket, and once again they started to follow me. It took me a good 5 minutes to realise they were interested in the bucket again!! One cow was blocking the gate I needed to go through to get back home, so instead of chasing it away (I still think if I try to chase the cows away they will end up chasing me) I threw the bucket over the fence, lifted my son over the fence, and then climbed over myself, problem solved! I just hope no one saw me doing this!

So anyway, I've got the compost going, I'll let you know how it's going next week!

I have found a great product to share with everyone. As you know I am trying to 'greenify' our life, by reusing, reducing and recycling. A couple weeks ago I found these great toothbrushes:

Environmentally Friendly Toothbrushes

They are made of bamboo and are completely compostable. I have been using mine for a couple weeks now, and although it was a bit weird at first as the head isn't angled like most plastic toothbrushes, I am now used to using it and it is fine. They do recommend you use a new brush every month, but the brushes come in a pack of 12 for $33, so they are definitely still affordable. My husband picked these up from the post office for me, and I just know he was thinking 'what on earth has she bought this time??' but honestly I think they are great, and well worth a try.

I have also been checking out my local supermarket for environementally friendly and organic products. I am glad to see there is a range of products from cleaning items to toothpaste, and also a good range of organic food, and a few of these have made it into my trolley, so next time you are at the supermarket, have a look around and even if you only buy one eco-friendly product, you are still making a difference. Now if only I could remember to take my green bags to the supermarket each week ..............

We have recently moved to 8 acres, and are enjoying a 'greener' lifestyle. This has prompted me to add more environmetnally friendly products to my store, so that others can lead a greener lifestyle too.

We are having so much fun with the chickens, planting fruit, veges and herbs, and recycling, so from now on I plan to do a weekly blog about our misadventures! Make sure you check in every week to see how we are going and to get some incentive to make a green change in your own life!

Over the next few weeks we will be expdanding our range of environmentally friendly products. The first to be added is the Pop In nappy.

This new nappy on the market is a fabulous combination of AI2 and AIO. It combines the economical advantage of a one-size coverless nappy with the absorption qualities of bamboo and leak-safe double gussets at the legs.

This nappy can be used from birth to potty training and over a period of 2.5 years, washing every second day, babies will get 450 wears out of this nappy. That works out to 8c per nappy change, compared with disposables which cost between 33c and 68c per change!

The Pop-In is available in a range of gorgeous pastel colours with matching boosters also available.

Even just with one cloth nappy, you will be making a big difference to the environment!

We have been busy ordering and making some fantastic new products. We have just ordered a new batch of Changemates, there are 6 new designs, all fabulous and funky! These will be available in the next few weeks.

For those of you who don't know about the Changemates, they are a handy little fold up portable change mat, great for changing your baby out and about. There are pockets to include nappies, wipes etc, and a strap to hang the Changemate over your stroller or pram handle, making it great for when you head out for a walk, or just a quick trip to the shops (as we all know it's when we don't have our nappy bag that our kids need their nappy changed!). Find our current designs HERE.

We also have some gorgeous little girls handbags coming. These are handmade and feature the most deslightful prints. Here is a sneak peak of one of the designs, plus there is also a cupcake design which I am sure you will all just love!

I am also excited about the Scratch and Sniff Greeting Cards we have coming. I used to love scratch and sniff as a child, and I'm so excited it is making a comeback. They are great as gift cards for kids, but would also make excellent birthday invitations, thankyou cards, baby shower invites, the possibilities are endless! Or maybe you have a friend who used to love Scratch and Sniff with a birthday coming up, I'm sure the big kids would love them too! You can check out all the designs HERE.

We have also been busy making some more hair accessories, and have started on our Christmas range. Here is a little sneak peek for you. We will be stocking these on the site from 1 November.

    

We have just also added a Gift Registry Option to our store. Now you can hold an online 'Baby Shower', or any other kind of registry that you can think of. This is great for people who don't live near friends and family. It's a really simple process, and there are free gifts for each level of spend you reach for your shower. For more information, please contact me.

We hope everyone is enjoying the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt. We have enjoyed having lots of people pass through our site, and hope you have all found something interesting to look at here. We have had over 200 people find our icon already! I am working on some new clues to change the location for next week.

I know it is only September, but I have just received a parcel of Christmas material today. I am going to be making some lovely christmas themed hair accessories over the next few weeks, and will be stocking them in November, so make sure you come back then to check out all the different designs we will have.

Also on the Christmas theme, it's time to start thinking about the Christmas Boxes for underpriviledged children overseas. I have had great fun today buying lots of bits and pieces to inlcude in our boxes this year. As my own children get older, I intend to use this exercise to teach them that not everyone is as fortunate as we are here in Australia. To find out more information visit Christmas Boxes.

Don't forget to have a look at all the new Wasabi Kids clothes we have just stocked, some very funky pieces. Our favourite would have to be this very cute frog:

Welcome to another edition of the ever exciting Tummy Time Blog.

This month we have been receiving a lot of unexpected attention. Firsly the kids and I got ourselves on tv, on the Today Show when they were visiting our town. (Ok this was not entirely unexpected, I did go there with the hope of getting on tv, but I didn't think it would actually happen!) But we did manage to get on tv. Here are some happy snaps of me and my new best friends:
