csnstores.com review!

Alright, now that my computer has finally re-granted me access to my own blog after insisting for 3 days that it wasn't secure I can finally write my review that I have been so excited about!

It all started with csnstores.com a site that has over 200 links to other sites where you can find virtually ANYTHING your heart could desire, need or want. It is literally a one stop shop. There's everything from
barstools for those of you maybe remodeling or looking for a house welcoming gift, a baby and kids section for those with children. I even came across cloth diapers on the site! Another I just have to share is this shoe site where they have the CUTEST ever animal shoes for children, they are adorable I will be stopping back there to place an order for a pair of their ladybug shoes for my daughter later! There's a site for pets , school , home health and even funeral/memorial. I'm telling you if you can't find it contact them and suggest it because they have everything and it's all just a click away!

I was offered a $35.00 gift card to choose an item for review and let me tell you it was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make recently, there were so many choices! I finally selected 2 sets of edushape foam blocks for my son, a castle set and a city set.


I was surprised when they were delivered to my doorstep only FOUR days after placing my order, it is one of the fastest shipments I have received ever.

I was even more surprised to find that they came in individual storage/carrying cases how cute and handy! As a mother I hate having to worry about where every new toy is going to go, with these cases I don't have to worry about it.

I had no problem with an aspect or the ordering, confirmation or shipping processes, everything went very smoothly and I couldn't have asked for better customer service. I will definitely be ordering from CSN sites in the future, especially with Christmas right around the corner I strongly recommend everyone check these sites out!As for the blocks I recommend them to anyone with young children. They look just like wooden blocks and stack well too but the plus is that
they make absolutely NO noise when knocked down and don't do any damage when thrown. With a baby in the house it was wonderful to be able to let my son play with his toys and not have to worry about him waking the baby because no matter how crazy he got with the blocks they never made a sound. As you can see below he was very pleased with them!




I was offered a $35 gift card to make my selection for purpose of this review.  The opinions and statements I expressed above are solely my own and were not influenced in any way  by any one else. Yours may very.

My week including my new found go to site(s) CSN

Hi followers! Hope you are all having a fantaastic week leading up to Halloween weekend. I know we are here in Illinois even though it has gotten significantly cooler, I found my teeth chattering driving to work this morning even though 2 days ago it was in the high 60's...how crazy! I hope the weather is treating everyone else a little better lol.

We have been so busy this week between work for my husband, reviews and giveaways for me not to mention work and all the shopping that needed to be done as well as the launching of my new online boutique Cutie Bowtootie on facebook. The kids seem to be more restless now that the weather has turned cold and windy and we can't go to the park as much but we were able to take them trick or treating at our local Retirment/Assisted living home today which is always a treat!

I would love to hear about your Halloween weeks and what your kiddo's are going to be this year and in return I would love for you all to check out this great new CSN stores site , if you haven't hear of them they have over 200 sites with EVERYTHING imaginable I still haven't had time to look at everything but believe me I will eventually. The stuff they have is so beautiful and some very unique. Start by checking out their barstools and go from there I'm sure everyone can find something they like and need on one of these great sites!

Happy Halloween everyone!

GoGreen Cloth diapers review and.....GIVEAWAY!

So for some of you that have been reading my blog you know that we recently changed over to cloth diapering and have mainly been using flip diapers made by Cottonbabies and I thought they were pretty darn good UNTIL I found GoGreen cloth diapers. Oh my goodness they don't even compare. From price to prints and everything in between GoGreen tops my list, they are my new go to diaper! I received 1 GoGreen diaper for review and before the day was even over I purchased 4 more, I'm telling you ladies (and cd'ing daddies too) this diaper is the way to go, let me tell you why.


First off is the cost factor, we all want a quality diaper but lets face it most likely part of the reason some of you are cd'ing is to save money and how do you expect to save money when you are spending $20-$30 on 1 diaper not to mention the shipping, extra diapers, extra inserts and the added laundry when that $30 diaper leaks all over. Well with GoGreen you don't have to worry about your pocket book becoming empty, you can get each diaper for only $8.99 for silky prints or $9.99 for fuzzy (which are so cute!) or buy in sets to save even more! Each diaper comes with 1 insert and they have $5 flat rate shipping so even when you're buying in bulk you don't waste half of what you could be spending on more diapers on shipping.  Not to mention they have a 15 day wash and wear policy so if you truly aren't happy (which I don't think is possible) you can return them for your money back.

Second they are SUPER absorbent and I swear virtually leak proof (I know every baby is different so don't hold me to it) Let me tell you my daughter has leaked through EVERY SINGLE NIGHT for probably the last 2 months no matter what diaper we had on her. 'sposies, flips, gdiapers but not the night I had on her Moo! print GoGreen. She stayed dry all night long not even a dampness to the diaper. These will be my nighttime diaper (and daytime too) until my daughter is potty trained. I did do 1 extra insert overtop of the pocket but honestly I don't think its needed unless you A. have a very heavy wetter or B. want to reuse the shell during the day as the extra insert keeps it dry. Of course this does make it a bit bulkier but I had no problem fitting her into her normal clothes or any other problems and the padded fuzzy bum looked adorable!

What else do I like about these diapers? I could go on and on but my FAVORITE feature is that they are a OS so not only can my 16lbs 7 month old wear them so can her almost 3 year old 32lb big brother on those stubborn days when he doesn't want to use the potty. I had no problem adjusting these and the snaps seemed very durable, they adjust very well for a wide range of heights and weights.

I also love love love! all these cute prints, check it out...

These diapers just have everything you could want in a cloth diaper
and I'm so glad I found them. This diaper will be front and
center of my stash from now on.
