				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em> *This post is sponsored by Glidden*</em></p>
<p>We have been in our new home now for about 9 months now and one of the things I was most excited about when we were house-hunting was the thought of being able to paint the rooms for the kids in a fun way, something I had not been able to do before, since we have always rented. And with Natalie being only a couple months old, and my first girl, I was thrilled to be able to paint her room in pink&#8230;lots and LOTS of pink! While I did quite a bit of painting in both of the kids&#8217; rooms (the boys share a room) before we moved our belongings into our new house, there were still some things that were left undone for later dates. I am SO excited that we were able to partner with Disney and the new Disney paints line from Glidden to finish up a couple big projects for the kiddos!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6594" alt="Disney Paint Mom 1" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-1.jpg?resize=725%2C852" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>Natalie got to come with me, as we hunted for just the right paints for our needs! For Natalie, I knew that I wanted to try the amazing <strong>All That Glitters</strong> paint, which does just what the name suggests..it&#8217;s actually a clear top coat of fun, sparkly glitter (<em>a necessity for every little girl&#8217;s room</em>)! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  For the boys (well, for all three kids, I suppose), Hubby and I decided to do our first big home project, renovating the play room and I thought that the exciting <strong>Ready, Set, Glow!</strong> paint (<em>yes, it actually glows in the dark!</em>) would be the perfect addition to that adventure!</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6595" alt="Disney Paint Mom 2" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-2.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6596" alt="Disney Paint Mom 3" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-3.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I found that the <a href="http://disney.glidden.com" rel="nofollow">Disney Specialty Paints</a> by Glidden were so affordable and would be perfect for someone who wants a special upgrade to their walls for not much money! The <strong>All That Glitters</strong> was $14.97 and the <strong>Ready, Set, Glow!</strong> was $19.97 at my local Walmart. They both cover a lot of space so depending on that you are looking to do, of course, I&#8217;d imaging you&#8217;d only need one of two of the smaller paint cans (<em>make sure you check out the <a href="http://disney.glidden.com" rel="nofollow">Disney Paint</a> website for ideas before purchasing</em>). I bought one of each, as well as many other painting supplies, such as; drop cloth, different types of paint brushes, painters tape, rollers and also some fun party supplies for our My Magic Room PJ Party!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6600" alt="Disney Paint Mom 7" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-7.jpg?resize=725%2C377" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>OK, so for Natalie&#8217;s ultra-girly room, I had already painted it pink and brown before we moved in but I left an unfinished stripe through the middle of the wall where I was planning on putting a border but never did.. Three of her walls were striped, pink on the upper half and brown on the bottom half, and one solid pink wall, the accent wall where her crib goes. My plan was to paint the<strong> All That Glitters</strong> over the entire accent wall and also finally finish the stripe around the rest of the room!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6597" alt="Disney Paint Mom 4" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-4.jpg?resize=725%2C363" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6598" alt="Disney Paint Mom 5" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-5.jpg?resize=725%2C434" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Oh my goodness, I immediately fell in love with the All That Glitters paint! I really do think that every little girly-girl needs this paint in their room! Did you know that you can even paint the Disney Specialty Paints on pieces of furniture, <a href="http://formulamom.com/sharing-our-news-with-disney-paint/">inside a closet</a> or across the whole room?! I just love how versatile they are! I only used about a third of the can to coat the entire wall. I&#8217;m pretty sure that I could have covered the whole room with just one can.</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6599" alt="Disney Paint Mom 6" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-6.jpg?resize=725%2C363" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Next, I taped off a little above and below and stripe that was there and painted a very light pink over it. Once it dried completely, I also added some more <strong>All That Glitters</strong> over the stripe! It really makes it pop and stand out against the rest of the wall! I absolutely LOVE it! I tell people that her room now reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream; strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. YUM! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p>To finish off her already gorgeous room, I added this stunning tree decal behind her changing table. I originally tried to add it on the accent wall, behind her crib, but soon discovered that the decal did not stick to the <strong>All That Glitters</strong> top coat. Thankfully, this wasn&#8217;t a problem for me, as I had another space to put it and I really love how the tree and flowers just flow over her different-shaped walls. Don&#8217;t you just love it?! Now, her room is done and I know that she will love it for years and years! Thanks Disney Paint and Glidden!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-8.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6601" alt="Disney Paint Mom 8" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-8.jpg?resize=725%2C635" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Now that was actually my easy project! The playroom was a whole other adventure that started with disgusting blue carpet and boring, grayish-blue walls that were old and chipped and desperately needing a do-over&#8230; Don&#8217;t believe me?? Here&#8217;s a picture for proof..</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6604" alt="Disney Paint Mom 11" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-11.jpg?resize=725%2C517" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Yuck. Boring. Dull. Not very fun for a kids&#8217; playroom, don&#8217;t you think?! Yea, me too. That&#8217;s why Hubs and I decided to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">completely renovate</span> it from the floor up (<em>literally</em>)! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p>First, we painted over the yucky grey with some paint I already had on hand, which was a bright, cheery, very summery green (<em>technical name: Citron</em>). Then, Hubs tore out the carpet and he and my dad put in brand new wood flooring that matches the rest of the house.</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-13.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6606" alt="Disney Paint Mom 13" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-13.jpg?resize=725%2C363" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>A HUGE improvement already but it doesn&#8217;t stop there&#8230;! Next, I got out the <strong>Ready, Set, Glow!</strong> glow-in-the-dark paint and wanted to add some spooky eyeballs and sayings to our already monster-inspired playroom. I knew that the boys would get a kick out of seeing eyeballs glowing at them when the lights were off!</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6605" alt="Disney Paint Mom 12" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-12.jpg?resize=725%2C451" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-15.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6608" alt="Disney Paint Mom 15" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-15.jpg?resize=725%2C493" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Here are a couple of the new glow-in-the-dark paintings! For some reason, my camera was not cooperating with me enough to get a picture of them glowing but here are a couple pictures of the designs with my camera flash. When looking straight on, you can&#8217;t see them at all! But as soon as the lights go off, get ready to be SPOOKED (not really&#8230;we only have friendly monsters that live in our playroom)! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-16.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6609" alt="Disney Paint Mom 16" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-16.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-17.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6610" alt="Disney Paint Mom 17" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-17.jpg?resize=725%2C269" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>So here it is: the kids&#8217; new monster playroom! Isn&#8217;t it just wonderful?? The boys absolutely LOVE their new playroom and I can&#8217;t blame them. I love it, too!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6607" alt="Disney Paint Mom 14" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-14.jpg?resize=725%2C541" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>To celebrate our two new awesome kids&#8217; rooms, we had some friends over to share the good news about our projects and Disney Paint! It was so much fun to have everyone see our new creations and, of course, to play, chat and eat some yummy food! I also had our <strong>My Magic Room Party</strong> in the evening so all the kids came in their jammies, which is always fun, as well! The older kids played outside for the most part, since the weather was gorgeous, but the boys did make sure to show off their new playroom to their friends before they left.. Even Natalie had a friend her age to play with!</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6602" alt="Disney Paint Mom 9" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-9.jpg?resize=725%2C1036" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6603" alt="Disney Paint Mom 10" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Disney-Paint-Mom-10.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>It has been such a fun experience, getting to work with Disney Paints during these two home-owner adventures! I kept the leftover paint and know that someday soon, I will find an excuse to pull them out again. I could not believe how fun, affordable and versatile all of the Disney Specialty Paints actually were! I am one of those weird people who loves to paint but I know it is (usually) always such a big ordeal and there is a lot of time and money involved. Glidden has paired perfectly with Disney to create paints for everyone that are easy on the wallet! They have even more <a href="http://disney.glidden.com" rel="nofollow">Specialty Paints</a> as well, ready for your own perfect project! I will for sure be purchasing more <strong>Disney Paint from Glidden</strong> for my next project and highly suggest that you do, as well!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"> What project do you want to start with Disney Paints??</h3>

<p>Please welcome the incredible <strong>NUK Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker</strong>!</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-Freshfoods-baby-Food-Maker-review-12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6583" alt="NUK Freshfoods baby Food Maker review 12" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-Freshfoods-baby-Food-Maker-review-12.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<h3>So what makes the NUK Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker different from my old method??</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>4-in-1 design</strong> cooks, reheats, defrosts and purees foods ALL IN ONE machine!</li>
<li> The steamed <strong>juices are saved</strong> from the fruits and veggies, to be pureed in during the 2nd step, which saves all of the extra vitamins and nutrients. {When I steam in a pot with water, the juices drain into the water and then I end up pouring them out.}</li>
<li><strong>HUGE 32-ounce bowl</strong> makes a whole ton of baby food &#8211; 4 large servings according to the website but I get a good 6 servings for Natalie!</li>
<li><strong>Loud beep</strong> at the end of steaming cycle lets you know it is done and ready to be pureed! I love not having to keep an eye on it.. I can go about my business until I hear that beep and then go back to what I was making.</li>
<li>All pieces of the bowl, lid, blades and steam basket are <strong>dishwasher-safe</strong>.</li>
<li>There are<strong> two puree options</strong>; one for smooth foods (stage 1) and one for chunky foods (stage 2 and 3)! LOVE this feature!</li>
<li><strong>Compact design</strong> fits perfectly on my counter and I actually leave it out all the time since it&#8217;s so small!</li>
<li>It comes with <strong>accessories</strong>! The versatile &#8216;smoothie blade&#8217; is included which can be used for tons of different things and it also includes the steamer stick and helps get the steamer basket out when it is super hot. ALSO included in the package is a cool recipe booklet from world-famous child health expert, Annabel Karmel, to get you started out, if you&#8217;re new to the baby food-making gig. {OR you can always come check out my <a href="http://andthenthereweremore.com/category/baby-food/">Baby Food 101</a> posts for some more ideas!}</li>
</ul>
<p>If that&#8217;s not enough to convince you that you need one of these awesome machines, let me tell you how fast and easy it is to use. <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6573" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 2" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-2.jpg?resize=725%2C606" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Right out of the box, I took all of the pieces apart and hand washed them to get them ready to be used.</p>
<p>Next, I got my veggies ready to be steamed. After I washed them and cut them into smaller pieces {I did carrots and asparagus}, I add as many as I can fit in the steam basket and place into the bowl.</p>
<div id="attachment_6574" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 619px"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6574" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 3" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-3.jpg?resize=609%2C479" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The steam basket comes with two parts. You can put the smaller one inside if you have to puree things that you do not want to mix. I never use this, as I just end up pureeing everything together anyway..</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6575" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 4" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-4.jpg?resize=725%2C479" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6576" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 5" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-5.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Once you have filled up the steam basket, place lid on and lock bowl into base. I love that it is so simple to close! In the picture below, you can easily tell when it is locked into place and ready to go!</p>
<p>Then, fill up with as much water is as needed. Note: For softer fruits and veggies that need just a little steaming, only add a little water and for harder produce, fill more. If you are following a recipe from the included recipe book, it will tell you how high to fill the water but I don&#8217;t do that so I end up just guessing.. Everything that I have steamed has come out perfectly so far so I must be doing it right! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p>After you have filled the water compartment, replace the lid and turn it to the LOCK position. Then, just turn it on and wait for it to beep when it is done! <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Easy peasy!</span></p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6577" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 6" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-6.jpg?resize=725%2C305" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6578" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 7" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-7.jpg?resize=725%2C363" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Once the NUK Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker is done cooking, it will beep and you should wait probably 5 minutes before taking the lid off to prevent steam from going all over the place. When it&#8217;s cooled down a bit, use the steam stick to get the basket out and then pour the food into the bowl for pureeing. Use as much, or as little, of the juice as you like. (You can see in the below picture how much juice it saved from my carrots and asparagus! YAY!)</p>
<div id="attachment_6579" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 685px"><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-8.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6579 " alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 8" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-8.jpg?resize=675%2C879" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Look at that steam! {Watch your hands!}</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6580" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 9" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-9.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>The last step is to puree! Hold the button to the smooth or chunky puree settings for a few seconds, open and stir, and then puree again. Repeat this cycle until the entire batch is just how you want it. I usually just have to open and stir twice but you may want to do this more if you are looking for silky-smooth purees, for smaller kiddos.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6581" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 10" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-10.jpg?resize=725%2C242" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Once you&#8217;re done pureeing, you can serve, refrigerate (for up to 3 days) or freeze (for up to 3 months)! I usually save 1 meal in the fridge and then transfer the rest to ice cube trays (my ideal freezing method for baby food). Once frozen solid, I move the food cubes to a gallon-sized freezer baggie for storage.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6582" alt="NUK FreshFoods Baby Food Maker review 11" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/NUK-FreshFoods-Baby-Food-Maker-review-11.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>This puree is a bit sore on the eyes, yes.. But you know what?! With the sweet carrots in there, Natalie gobbled it right up! I, of course, used organic carrots and asparagus. I love SO much that I know exactly what goes into her precious little belly.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Did you know that making baby food at home was this easy?!</h3>
<p>There may seem to be a lot of steps but once you make one or two batches of baby food, the process gets faster and faster. This is, by far, <strong>the fastest and easiest food-making process</strong> I have discovered so far and will continue to recommend the <a href="http://www.nuk-usa.com/6-12months/fresh-foods-prep/fresh-foods-cook-blend-baby-food-maker.aspx">NUK Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker</a> to all of my mama friends!</p>

<p>A changing pad is one of those must-have baby items for being on the go with baby. And having a cute one that is personalized, just for your little one, is something you won&#8217;t want to miss out on! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PaisleyPatchBoutique" rel="nofollow">Paisley Patch Boutique</a> sells travel changing pads that are adorable, soft, fashionable, waterproof and monogrammed!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6559" alt="PaisleyPatchBoutique 1" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-1.jpg?resize=715%2C715" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>I picked this super cute pink minkee/flower <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PaisleyPatchBoutique?section_id=12074105" rel="nofollow">travel changing pad</a> from the Paisley Patch Boutique shop and Andi, mama of 3 and creator of this amazing shop, also monogrammed Natalie&#8217;s initials onto the pad as well, adding a beautiful extra touch!</p>

<h3>About the pad:</h3>
<blockquote><p>This is a very practical and also adorable travel changing pad! It&#8217;s the perfect gift for that upcoming baby shower or new mommy! And your friends will think you bought it at one of those expensive boutiques! It&#8217;s made of plush pink minke on one side and Michael Miller &#8220;Carnival Blooms-brown&#8221; PUL laminated fabric on the other side. Colors include pink, yellow, blue, green, orange, &amp; white on a brown background. This changing pad is very compact and has a decorative ribbon with a paisley pattern and a velcro closure.</p>
<p>The laminated side is actually on the back of the patterned fabric. This is great because it is very soft next to baby&#8217;s skin but it is also water resistant for those messy changing episodes! And you can throw this pad in the washer&#8212;just wash in warm water on delicate cycle, then throw it in the dryer on low heat. The folded size of the pad is approximately 6&#8243; x 7&#8243;. The open size is approximately <strong>18.5&#8243; x 14&#8243;</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6563" alt="PaisleyPatchBoutique 5" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-5.jpg?resize=715%2C536" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>This changing pad is small enough to fold nicely and compactly into the diaper bag but big enough to protect Natalie from the floor or icky bathroom changing tables.. I just love the gorgeous colors and the soft, minke fabric on the front is oh, so snuggly! I get many compliments on it whenever I pull it out to change Natalie. Most ask where I got it, assuming I spent a small fortune for it on a high-end boutique and are surprised to hear about Paisley Patch Boutique and the amazing price of only $24 (which includes the monogramming)!! WOW!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6564" alt="PaisleyPatchBoutique 6" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-6.jpg?resize=715%2C953" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6565" alt="PaisleyPatchBoutique 7" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/PaisleyPatchBoutique-7.jpg?resize=675%2C900" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I recommend shopping at Paisley patch Boutique <strong>100%</strong> for your new baby needs! Andi also sells several other travel changing pad designs, perfect for boy, girl or gender neutral, which would be wonderful for a baby shower gift! Personalizing baby&#8217;s items is a special touch that I love and know that there are many other moms out there that agree with me.. Also, I love that the monogrammed initials are included in the price! Most places that monogram ask for an additional fee (which is usually a LOT) but Paisley Patch Boutique is incredibly affordable! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<h3>BUY IT:</h3>
<p>Visit the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PaisleyPatchBoutique" rel="nofollow">Paisley Patch Boutique Etsy</a> shop to view all of her amazing products and find something perfect for you.. As I already mentioned, the travel changing pads are only $24, which is an absolutely incredible deal!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m alive! I can hardly believe that it was been an entire week and a half since I posted on my blog&#8230; I feel like I have been letting you all down but at the same time, I desperately needed a bit of a break to enjoy my children and the new warm weather we&#8217;ve been having here in North Idaho! If you <a href="http://instagram.com/jess_attw5">follow me on Instagram</a>, you know what I do each day and get to see cute pictures of my kiddos! {<em>You can follow me, if you&#8217;d like to keep updated on my family&#8217;s happenings</em>} <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve been up to the past couple weeks:</p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Castle-Park.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6547" alt="Castle Park" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Castle-Park.jpg?resize=725%2C363" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Swimming-Pool-Fun.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6542" alt="Swimming Pool Fun" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Swimming-Pool-Fun.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Springtime-Fun.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6541" alt="Springtime Fun" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Springtime-Fun.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been going to the park almost every single day! The boys love running around and enjoying the sunshine and while I love those things as well, I also love the nice, looooooong naps they take afterwards! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  We also set up our new pool in the backyard for the boys, since the weather got into the 80&#8242;s this past week! They are loving being able to go swimming whenever they want! And Natalie has been outside a bunch as well, of course, and is getting used to the grass finally&#8230; She still won&#8217;t crawl in it (I suppose she doesn&#8217;t like the feel of it on her hands) but doesn&#8217;t mind sitting and watching her brothers play.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Busy-Natalie.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6544" alt="Busy Natalie" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Busy-Natalie.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Speaking of little miss Natalie, she sure is growing up! She is 10 months now (CRAZY!) and crawling all over. Her new favorite activity is to chase the poor cat all over the house. Unfortunately, the kitty does not like her nearly as much as she likes it.. :p Also, she decided that she does not like to bathe in the bath tub anymore, she prefers the sink. I like that it&#8217;s a smaller space to keep her contained but she does make quite the mess with her splashes.. <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Awana-Cubbies.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6543" alt="Awana Cubbies" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Awana-Cubbies.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Haircut-Before-and-After.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6546" alt="Haircut Before and After" src="http://i0.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Haircut-Before-and-After.jpg?resize=725%2C242" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>Newest happenings with Cohen have been last week when he graduated from his AWANA Cubbies class! That means that next year, he will be in Sparks for AWANA and Kindergarten for school, which is just crazy-talk.. My little man will be turning 5 in August and with his new big-boy haircut that I gave him a few days ago, he looks so old! *tear*</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Planting-Playdate.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6548" alt="Planting Playdate" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Planting-Playdate.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/CdA-Lake.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6550" alt="CdA Lake" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/CdA-Lake.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>We sure have been running all over, from play date to play date, here and there, to the beach, parks all over town.. I feel exhausted but man, the weather we have been having is just amazing and I feel like we need to enjoy every second of the warm sunshine! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  Just this morning, I took the kiddos to the park/beach and Natalie sat in the sand for the first time.. I was surprised that she didn&#8217;t try to eat it but she did, however, enjoy throwing it all over herself and making a big mess.</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Home-Adventures.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6545" alt="Home Adventures" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Home-Adventures.jpg?resize=725%2C363" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>We haven&#8217;t always been inside, though. Two weekends ago, Hubby and I (with help from my dad) got to work on some home improvement projects that we were wanting to get done. The playroom got a HUGE transformation and Natalie&#8217;s room got a nice little upgrade. I will be sharing the &#8216;before&#8217; and &#8216;after&#8217; pics soon in an upcoming post for the new <strong>Disney Glidden paint</strong>! Can&#8217;t wait for that one! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  So now we have the playroom looking completely awesome but it&#8217;s so nice out that the boys have barely played in it! Ha! Of course&#8230; Well, soon the heat will get to be too much and we&#8217;ll have to stay indoors in the afternoons again. When that time comes, they will enjoy it a lot!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Natalie-Rose1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6552" alt="Natalie Rose" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Natalie-Rose1.jpg?resize=725%2C725" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>So all in all, I wanted to tell you <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>THANK YOU</strong></span> for sticking around and hanging in there during my absence! I have a ton of reviews and giveaways to write up since I got behind on my mini-vacay, but you know what?! It was amazing! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" />  I sure do love my three crazy hooligans! &lt;3 Keep your eyes peeled for some really amazing posts coming up soon!

<p>Spring is in the air and here in my home, when we&#8217;re not outside enjoying the sunshine, we have been watching the amazing new film, &#8216;<em>Wings of Life</em>&#8216; by <a href="www.Disneynature.com">Disneynature</a>!

I am just as intrigued by &#8216;<em>Wings of Life</em>&#8216; as they are, with the close-up footage of beautiful flowers, bugs, birds and more.

<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/GCDC-Giveaway-Event.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6074" alt="GCDC Giveaway Event" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/GCDC-Giveaway-Event.jpg?resize=200%2C300" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>My favorite place to search for new diapers to buy is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>. On Etsy, you can find an incredible assortment of different <strong>handmade products</strong> for everyone and every possible need! My favorite diapers to buy for my kids have always been from WAHM&#8217;s (work-at-home-moms) because I enjoy supporting a woman out there, juggle her passion for creating diapers, while juggling home life with kids! Julianne, the mother behind <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleBeastiesDiaper" rel="nofollow">Little Beasties Diapers</a>, was one of the shops I came across and I was thrilled that she wanted one of her cute diapers to be featured on my blog! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p>I chose the adorable <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/119762638/one-size-cloth-diapers-with-adjustable?ref=shop_home_active" rel="nofollow">Insect Garden diaper</a> for Natalie because it was very girly but I knew that the boys would get a kick out of all the bugs on it as well!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6513" alt="Little Beasties 1" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-1.jpg?resize=715%2C358" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Little Beasties One-size cloth pocket diapers</h3>
<p>&#8211;Fits babies NB-36 pounds<br />
&#8211;Snaps adjust the diaper size vertically, while touchtape closures adjust the diaper around baby&#8217;s waist<br />
&#8211;Features a soft, attractive flannel outer<br />
&#8211;PUL (polyurethane laminate) lining protects from leaks<br />
&#8211;Super soft alova inner material wicks moisture away from baby&#8217;s skin<br />
&#8211;Leg gussets help contain messes<br />
&#8211;Hidden adjustable waist and leg elastic helps Little Beasties diapers fit baby even better&#8212;our elastic is different because: one end is secured by snap (not sewn in, for easy repair; the other end has 3 fixed snap points for maximum adjustability; we do not use buttonhole elastic)<br />
&#8211;Each diaper comes with a microfiber &amp; flannel adjustable insert (please note: INSERT PATTERN MAY VARY)</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6515" alt="Little Beasties 3" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-3.jpg?resize=715%2C280" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6514" alt="Little Beasties 2" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-2.jpg?resize=715%2C280" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>My favorite features of the Little Beasties pocket diaper are the double gussets (<em>which keep even the ickiest of meeses contained!</em>), the adjustable, snap-able elastic (<em>to ensure you get just the right fit, in a snap</em>) and I also like the snap-down, extra-absorbent insert (<em>which holds a TON</em>)!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6516" alt="Little Beasties 4" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-4.jpg?resize=715%2C292" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>The fit was great but I think that maybe the sides need to be a bit longer because Natalie already filled out the waist pretty well. I&#8217;m not sure how much longer she&#8217;ll be able to fit into the waist.. The legs were a bit loose (like in the above left picture) but I just tightened up the snapping elastic a couple snaps and then it fit perfectly!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6517" alt="Little Beasties 5" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-5.jpg?resize=715%2C829" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6518" alt="Little Beasties 6" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Little-Beasties-6.jpg?resize=715%2C715" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>What I would have liked to see on this diaper were some washing tabs for the velcro to stick onto during laundry day! I had to stick the velcro onto the front velcro, which essentially closed the diaper back up and I don&#8217;t think it washes as well that way. That is my only &#8216;complaint&#8217; about our new Little Beasties <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleBeastiesDiaper?section_id=12837728" rel="nofollow">pocket cloth diaper</a>! I love the print and all of the other features and think these diapers would be an excellent addition to any diaper stash! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>

<p>This cute film, &#8216;<em>A Monster in Paris</em>&#8216;, has been out on <strong>3D Blu-Ray and DVD</strong> since 4/16 and is definitely a must-watch for older kids and adults! I loved that the &#8216;monster&#8217; in the story is actually very sweet (a giant, musically-inclined flea) but people are scared of him just because he is different. This movie takes place in Paris, back in the 1910&#8242;s, and is musical, funny and the characters are incredibly likable, even the monster himself! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eBbbwcbfF3M" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
<p>A wacky inventor, his camera-crazy best friend and a madcap monkey make a massive mistake when let loose in a mad scientist’s laboratory. With lotions and potions spilling everywhere, the troublesome trio accidentally creates Franc, the product of a reaction between a common flea and one of the scientist’s mystery concoctions. What they fail to realize, however, is that this ‘monster’ is actually a soft-centered soul with an astounding talent for music.</p>
<p>With the help of an enchanting nightclub singer Lucille, Franc becomes the talk of the town, just as stories of Paris’s newest monster attract the attention of the egotistical police commissioner, hell bent on securing a big prize to help his battle to become mayor. The unwitting scientists and the singer must team up to protect Franc, a monster with more than a musical career to protect!</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9642711/Shout%20Factory/Monster%20in%20Paris%20Recipes.pdf?dl=1"><img class="aligncenter" alt="" src="http://i1.wp.com/clickcomm.zenfolio.com/img/s2/v70/p1514989758-2.jpg" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I said that this movie is great for older kids and adults because there is a bit of language (like &#8216;oh my god&#8217;, which I don&#8217;t let my kids say) and there is quite a bit of violence, including the &#8216;bad guy&#8217; shooting at the monster with intent to kill and even strangling the female lead character. For my boys, almost 5 and 3.5 years old, this is a bit more than I want them to be introduced to at this point. Some may not care, each parent needs to decide for themselves, of course, what they will allow their kids to watch, but for me, I think I will wait a few years before letting them watch this one..</p>
<p>That said, I really did think it was very cute, funny and even I got into the characters and their amazing adventure! Watching <strong>&#8216;<em>A Monster in Paris</em>&#8216; will remind you to not judge a book by its cover</strong>, to look inside someone to see who they really are first!</p>

<p>I am <strong>a couple days late</strong> on this review but with Saturday being the Great Cloth Diaper Change that I organized and yesterday having church and a day full of errands, I just ran out of time! SO, I am extending this event a couple more days (yay!)&#8230;which means that I have <strong>more reviews and giveaways for you all</strong>, <em>three</em> more to be exact!</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/GCDC-Giveaway-Event.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6074" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; cursor: default; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-width: 0px;" alt="GCDC Giveaway Event" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/GCDC-Giveaway-Event.jpg?resize=200%2C300" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I am in love. No, really. I am in love with Natalie&#8217;s new AIO (all-in-one) cloth diaper from <a href="http://www.daddysdiapers.com/">Daddy&#8217;s Diapers</a>! I hope that the pictures that I took will do this diaper all of the justice it deserves! Ha <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6501" alt="Daddy's Diapers 1" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-1.jpg?resize=715%2C564" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I chose the bright and beautiful &#8216;<a href="http://www.daddysdiapers.com/products/730461-the-tea-party">The Tea Party</a>&#8216; print and absolutely love it! This diaper is so me. I love pink, vivid colors and coordinating prints, so, of course, I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw it.. This is the perfect diaper for the girly-girl in your life!</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6502" alt="Daddy's Diapers 2" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-2.jpg?resize=715%2C358" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6503" alt="Daddy's Diapers 3" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-3.jpg?resize=715%2C572" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>My diaper from Daddy&#8217;s Diapers arrived in a cute little package, all sewn in and I appreciated the unique and personal feel to it!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6504" alt="Daddy's Diapers 4" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-4.jpg?resize=715%2C323" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>You can purchase this print (and all of the other diapers) as a pocket diaper or an AIO. The AIO does have a pocket in the back but all of the absorbent, microfiber layers are sewn in to prevent moving around and bunching. I do like that it has a pocket so you could add another insert or booster, if needed, maybe as a nighttime diaper or for a heavy wetter, maybe?</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6505" alt="Daddy's Diapers 5" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-5.jpg?resize=715%2C540" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>The ruffles are <strong>TO. DIE. FOR.</strong> For reals. You just cannot go wrong with all of the gorgeous ruffles! They do, however, wrinkle a bit in the dryer but if you just make sure to take it out right when it&#8217;s done and flatten out the ruffles, they&#8217;ll be ok. If pink is not really your scene, make sure to check out all of the other <a href="http://www.daddysdiapers.com/collections/213974-ruffle-butts">Ruffle Butts</a> diapers they carry. My other favorite is called &#8216;<a href="http://www.daddysdiapers.com/products/1278901-the-guinevere">The Guinevere</a>&#8216;.</p>
<p><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6506" alt="Daddy's Diapers 6" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-6.jpg?resize=715%2C358" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-8.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6508" alt="Daddy's Diapers 8" src="http://i1.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-8.jpg?resize=715%2C535" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>The fit on Natalie&#8217;s waist and legs was perfect. She is a pretty chubby baby, about 19 pounds at 9.5 months, but I&#8217;m pretty certain that this would even fit great on a skinny baby as well! The rise and waist snaps are great for getting just the right fit. There are no overlapping snaps, however, so I am not sure how this would fit on a newborn. Just by looking at the diaper, I am guessing that you won&#8217;t be able to get a good fit until 10 pounds or so, which is usual for one-size diapers..</p>
<p><a href="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6509" alt="Daddy's Diapers 10" src="http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-content/uploads/Daddys-Diapers-10.jpg?resize=715%2C536" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>I was SO glad that we got this adorable <a href="http://www.daddysdiapers.com/collections/128088-all-products">ruffle cloth diaper</a> from Daddy&#8217;s Diapers right before the Great Cloth Diaper Change because when it arrived, I knew that was going to be the one I wanted to change Natalie into for the event! The event was this past Saturday, April 20th, and little miss Natalie (and her cutie little booty) stole the show! I&#8217;d guess that over half of the moms that came, stopped me to ask me where I got her diaper because it was so cute! I told you that everyone loves a ruffle butt! <img src='http://i2.wp.com/andthenthereweremore.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' data-recalc-dims="1" /> </p>
