Wordless Wednesday - GO PACK GO!
In the bottom, right picture Tyler is showing off his BabyLegs football socks! Tyler and Trevor both have these and look adorable on game day. Not only are they cute, they're also very soft and have the grippers on the bottom. These were our first BabyLegs Socks and we love them, almost as much as our BabyLegs legwarmers! :-)

Cutesy Tushies Diaper Cover - Review
Some of you might remember the plastic pants from the "old days" of cloth diapering. You had a flat diaper, folded it up, pinned the sides, then pulled on the plain old white plastic pants. We've come a long way baby! The flat (prefold) diapers are still a tried and true, go to item for many cloth diapering families, ours being one. Do I use them every day? No. Do I trust them? YES! Have they changed over the years? Of course!
We have premium prefold diapers for Trevor, which run a little bigger and are pretty bulky, so I was worried the Cutesy Tushies Diaper Cover wouldn't fit over them. I have used the prefold (not included) in two different ways with this cover and both ways worked great! The first way is pictured below next to the diaper cover. The diaper is tri-folded and I add a fleece liner for stay dry protection for baby.
The other way I use the prefold is to bring it around Trevor's bottom (again, putting the fleece liner in first) and secure it using a Snappi. This is a great product that makes fastening diapers SO much easier and faster than pins! It works similar to the hooks that come with an ace bandage.
Now that you're aware of different ways to use a prefold diaper, here is more information on the Cutesy Tushies Diaper Covers!
Our Trials: We were given a Cutesy Tushies Medium Diaper Cover. The cover has fleece on the outside (which is so adorable!) and a waterproof lining on the inside. (Also available with cotton instead of fleece.) I'll admit, I was leery about the fleece at first, but we have used it during naps as well as when Trevor is active and there has been no leaking or wicking at all! It fits well and is roomy enough to use with a premium prefold, which runs a little bigger. Since receiving my diaper cover to test, Michelle has also added the elastic casing around the legs and back of the diaper, which I think will make great additions to an already great product!
Type of Diaper: Medium Diaper Cover with fleece out and waterproof in.
Sizes: Newborn - Up to 11 lbs.
Small - 9 to 20 lbs.
Medium - 18 to 30 lbs.
Large - 22 to 40 lbs.
Features: Generous fit to accommodate premium prefolds, elastic casing around legs, laundry tabs to attach velcro for washing. Diaper covers with prefolds are great because you do not need a lot of covers - if the cover isn't soiled, just take it off, wipe it down and add a new prefold!
Where to find it: http://www.cutesytushies.com/ or email cutesytushies@yahoo.com for custom orders or questions.
How much does it cost: These diaper covers are a steal! A size medium is only $12.95!
Cutesy Tushies provided me a diaper cover free of charge. Other than product, no compensation was given to me for this review. All statements are my own and are my honest to goodness opinion!

Toddler Tuesday: Tom Pease at the Woodson Art Museum
Last night was the final performer for the Concert in the Garden series at Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. Josh was at a movie with Nate and Todd from work so my mom came with the boys and me. We had never been to a Concert in the Garden and weren't sure what to expect. We packed up our chairs, a blanket, the stroller, grabbed some drive-thru and headed over to check out Tom Pease! Tom is a family entertainer who sings silly songs that also teach many different lessons as 
well as a little sign language. Tyler, Trevor and I saw him at the beginning of the summer at the library so Tyler was super excited to hear the Belly Button song! As always, Tom put on a great show - it's almost as fun to watch the audience as it is to watch him!During intermission Tyler thought it was funny to run in circles and hit the cedar tree that we were sitting next to. After that we had a hard time settling him back into the show so we left a little bit early. While Tyler was running around, Trevor stole one of his chicken nuggets! It was hilarious!
Monkey Balls Wool Dryer Balls
I was one of the lucky moms to be chosen to be a product tester for Cutesy Tushies, an online cloth diaper store that is being built by an old friend of mine, Michelle. I can safely say that I had a hand in converting her to cloth diapers after I shared that I was making the switch to cloth on FaceBook. She bought a couple flowered Happy Heinys diapers from me that I had purchased in a lot on eBay and we stayed in touch after that. Being the talented mommy she is, she decided to make her own diapers, which has brought her to her new adventure of selling her adorable cloth diapers!
Along with her cloth diapers, she is also going to be making and selling wool dryer balls. Have you heard of these before? They are a great product and easy to use - you just throw them in your dryer! As they tumble, they separate your wet clothes to allow the hot air to distribute through the dryer, resulting in faster drying times. This saves energy AND money! Michelle surprised me with two to test out! Not only are they bright and fun, they smell great! The ones I tested were Smashed Pear scented...mmmm!
You may have seen the plastic dryer balls in stores or on TV, which is what I started with. As you can see in the picture below (when you're done staring at my adorable little helper!) the plastic dryer balls I had purchased left marks all over our dryer. Can you guess what color they are?! They didn't do any damage, but just make me wonder if that dye is all over our clothes too.
As for the Monkey Balls Wool Dryer Balls - I LOVE 'EM!! They have been in every load of laundry since Michelle dropped them off and I've had no problems at all with unravelling. I like them a lot better than the plastic ones because they are so much quieter. (I have enough noise in this house with 2 boys!) I also like that they are scented and our clothes smelly yummy when they come out of the dryer! As for drying time, I usually set the dryer for 70 minutes for our cloth diapers and everything is completely dry except for the hemp inserts for the Thirsties Duo Diaper and the snap in for the GroVia diapers since they take longer to dry. I usually put those on the drying rack in the laundry room to finish drying. With the wool dryer balls, I set the timer for 60 minutes and EVERYTHING was DRY!

The Cutesy Tushies site should be up and running TODAY! Michelle will be selling the Monkey Balls Dryer Balls for $5.95 each. There will also be several different types of handmade cloth diapers including diaper covers and pocket diapers, which I'm also currently testing! If you are interested in Michelle's products or would like to contact her, you can visit her website at http://www.cutesytushies.com/.

Wordless Wednesday - Summer FUN!
Swimming lessons are going SUPER at the R/S Aquatic Center!
What a world of a difference it makes when he's able to touch bottom!
Thanks to Auntie Brookie (and her employer!), we got to take the boys to a Woodchucks baseball game (Trevor's first!) for free!
We got Woody Woodchuck bobbleheads and Tyler found a baseball by our car when we parked that he had signed by Woody!

Mommy is recovering WONDERFULLY from her c-section and Trevor is doing FANTASTIC! I am even breast feeding so I'm ecstatic about that since I wasn't able to with Tyler.
