I am impressed with the quality, they have kept up with a lot of washes and they our favorite. When we had guests over we both got a lot of compliments on how cute they … Continue reading →

With cold season in full swing what better time than now to offer two lucky readers a cup of their own?! I mean it’s a sippy cup that dispenses medicine! Brilliant!

It’s hard to give … Continue reading →

I gotta tell you about something. It’s nuts. Seriously it’s nuts. Okay….it’s Eco Nuts. Would you believe this fruit from the Soapberry Tree can wash your laundry and cloth diapers amazingly well?

If you’ve used soap nuts in the past and found they smell, chances are … Continue reading →

Two Word’s. GET THIS. This is a fantastic product and I wish I had I known of this when my son was a baby, as they also have the Teach My Baby. Educational play is a must as we know and I cannot recommend this enough. I would have to say that this is one my favorite products that I’ve had the privilege to review. In the world of two income families most moms/dads can’t stay at home and Teach My Baby/Toddler/Preschooler is a great way for working parents to bond, to see how much their little ones have grown … Continue reading →

What can I tell you about this new cloth diaper company that turned 1 recently? Charlie who? Charlie Banana. You may not know this hybrid diaper now, but you will because in my experience this is one of the best. Even my husband who is normally oblivious to these kinds of things commented on how these were the best cloth diapers we have ever used. Why? After the first wash on the first night with my Charlie wearing them, NO LEAK! A perfect fit for us in their sized diapers, no marks as they were nice and snug. My two … Continue reading →

Hi Fans of ptpa! My name is Erica Ashmore and I am thrilled to be part of the ptpa Blogaholics.

I also love finding the best and want the best … Continue reading →
