12 Days of Gifts Galore~Sponsor Spotlight: Sew Cute by Lindsay{Etsy} *Review*


I am delighted to introduce you to an Etsy page I came across recently...Sew Cute By Lindsay! At Sew Cute by Lindsay, you will find some adorable handmade owls, scotty dogs, elephants and more!

We LOVE elephants! 
I have been blessed with one of her elephants to review. I was so surprised at how quick it arrived and how big it was! I was expecting it to be about the size of my hand or a bit bigger but it is actually a lot bigger! A good size for a travel pillow!! I requested two colors, pink and purple...this is what she sent.
Isn't it adorable?!!!
  She was beautiful and perfect for my princess!
We decided to name her Ellie. My girls are absolutely adore her. 
The stitching is beautifully done and I am confident it was made to last. I still have a pillow that my grandmother made me when I was five and I bet BuBu will hold onto this just like I did. Her ears are made with soft minky material and BuBu loves to rub them with her fingers. So sweet. Makes me smile.
Ellie is her new best friend and she likes to tote her around!

Sew Cute by Lindsay also makes adorable owls and owlets,
and pumpkins!!

Lindsay would like to give one super lucky Green Mam-a Jam-a reader an elephant of their very own!(pictured below)

Lindsay's adorable elephant is one of four prizes in the 12 Days of Gifts Galore Prize Package! Come back November 25- December 6 to enter!! You don't want to miss out on this prize package!!!

12 Days of Gifts Galore~Sponsor Spotlight: Wild Mountain Mommies


Wild Mountain Mommies...I really like the sound of that name! Wild Mountain Mommies is a shop where you will find cloth diapers, fleece soakers and fabulous cloth wipes!
I received a set of 12 cloth wipes from Wild Mountain Mommies for review. The set I received are cuddly soft flannel and are backed with minky, cotton velour and micro chamois. They measure approximately 8in by 8in. This was my first time using wipes with these lovely backings and I absolutely love them. They are all super soft, especially the Minky! I have to admit, at first I thought they would be "too soft" to get the job done. I was wrong. Although these wipes are super soft, they are able to clean sticky lolly-pop hands and faces, snotty noses and a baby's bum. They are too pretty to use to clean up poop, I'm sorry. I know these are meant to be used as baby booty wipes, and I do use them for that...just not with poop.
Just a pic to show the three different backings

I love the variety of fabrics they offer! So vibrant and pretty. I would much rather pull one of these out, in public places, to wipe a snotty nose than a disposable wipe. Simply fold the wipe, put it back in your bag for the next use. I wouldn't do that with a disposable wipe! 

On top of these awesome wipes, that I would 100% recommend...she also makes cloth diapers! Such cute fabrics to choose from and she even does customs! Here are some of my faves listed in her shop.

Swirls and Snow
...and take a look at this adorable fleece soaker!

 To Purchase
You can purchase a set of 12 wipes for $11.50!! You can choose boy, girl or mixed variety. Visit Wild Mountain Mommies to make a purchase.

12 Days of Gifts alore~Sponsor Spotlight: TC Creations *Review*


Let me start this off by saying...OMGosh!! I am totally in love with everything this shop has to offer! Bibs, Burpies, diaper carriers and so much more...everything is to die for!
Tammy, from TC Creations, offered me one bib of choice from all of her lovely bibs and I chose to review the "Skulls Rock on Black Minky" bib. I chose this bib because it is definitely girly enough to put on BuBu, but is also boyish enough that I could save it for my next baby(not that I am planning on having another...but hey, things happen). 
I have no other bibs like this and I try and take this particular one on every outing! I know, sounds silly, but I love it that much. It's not an ordinary "I love Mommy" bib or a "Cute as a Cupcake" bib. Its a one of a kind(well at least I can think I am the only one with this one since it is not sold in Walmart or other mass production stores), perfect fitting, super stylish, soft bib. Made by a super sweet lady.

When I was given the option to chose whatever bib I wanted to review, it literally took me more than 15 minutes to decide. Let me show you a few reasons why...

See why!?!
Here are some really cute boy bibs too...


and...

I could go on and on. There are so many more cute ones but you will have to go and see for yourself!

~Features I love~
  • awesome fabric choices
  • minky backing {ahh...my favorite}
  • double snap closures {I hate velcro closure bibs! They always seem to ruin something in the washer/dryer}
  • great fit
  • generous size
  • owner of the shop is super sweet and great to work with!
~What I didn't like~
  • Haha, very funny! There's nothing I didn't like!
I absolutely love BuBu's new bib! It has been washed several times and still looks like new. The color hasn't faded at all. Here is a pic of BuBu wearing it after about 3 or 4 washes. (ok, I couldn't decide which pic to put so here's two :)



These bibs make great Christmas gifts and are only $8CAD each plus $2 shipping to US and Canada! Great deal if you ask me!Visit her shop and check out her awesome selection! Don't do all your Christmas shopping at department stores! Support a small, mommy owned business and purchase a one of a kind bib for that special baby in your life!! 

Tammy, from TC Creations, would like to give one super lucky Green Mam-a Jam-a reader their very own bib! Winner will get to chose which one!

This lovely prize will be included in the "12 Days of Gifts Galore" baby prize package!! Come back on November 25-December 6 and enter to win!!
