Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

Is there anything worse than realizing you are down to your last diaper with no back up supply??  There have been times when I have had to scrounge through my diaper bag and car to find straggling diapers to get us through the night! 

One of my girlfriends recently told me about  Diapers.com, the best thing to happen to an exhausted, sleep-deprived mom as the diapers come right to your doorstep. FAST.   And, the site is not only about diapers…they have everything!   Even  the huge box of  Kirkland wipes from Costco!   To anyone with a new baby, those are the best wipes around.  Just ask any seasoned mom you know .   It is really a one-stop shop for all your baby essentials.   They even have Halloween costumes!

So, I went a-shoppin’ and stocked up on some diapers and lots more.   Most orders over $49 ship for free.  I placed my order in the afternoon and it arrived on my doorstep the next morning!  I don’t think it can get more convenient than that.  

Coupon Code alert!

Use Diapers.com coupon code “tiny10″ upon checkout on any diaper order of $50 or more and get $10 off your first order! 

You only have to order one thing of diapers for it to work, so you can combine it with other products as long as the total adds up to $50, and includes one pack of diapers.

Happy shoppin’!

Do your little ones love the tags on their loveys just about as much as the lovey itself??  On my oldest daughter’s Angel Dear loveys, the wording on the tag has been completely worn off after years of her tag love.  I have always thought  it was so cute to see  just how soothing a little satin tag can be!

Knowing how much little ones love these tags, I flipped when I saw this cute gift we got for Morgan!  It’s called a  ”Ribbon Lovey”  by a company called Darling Droolers.  It’s a square little blankie, one side is satin, the other is a super soft fleecey fabric.  Then, all around the edges are ribbon loops or “tags” in various textures and patterns. 

The logo and lovey were so cute , I had to go online and peruse their other products.  Shop online or click here to see a store that carries their darling stuff.  Lots of fun ideas for baby and shower gifts!

I have a very, very fussy newborn.  The Sleepy Wrap has seriously been a God send.  I don’t know how I would live without it.  I am not being dramatic, it works miracles (at least it does for us.)

I got mine at Milkalicious, a breastfeeding boutique in Aliso Viejo, before she was born.  The girls there raved about it.   I even overheard a customer at Milkalicious the other day saying that they were going to let her try it out with her baby before buying it.  Talk about customer service!

Warning: the thing seems like a major contraption and can be intimidating at first.  It is just this huge long piece of fabric and you will wonder – how on earth am I going to figure this out?  Or maybe that was just me!   But once you get it down, it is wondrous.   You just have to get the hang of it, and then once you figure it out, it is not that hard at all.

She can be fussing up a storm, and within minutes of tucking her into the “newborn” wrap (there are different wrap techniques for different ages) she will literally fall asleep within 5 minutes.  I wear her in it for the better part of the day.

I have even mastered how to have her nurse in it so I can blog!  Talk about multi-tasking!

Fabulous gift idea for a new mom who is at her wit’s end with a fussy baby!   Or, really just a great gift idea in general!

My mom got Emma the butterfly bath wrap with her name on it last Christmas from Pottery Barn Kids.  It is so cute,  every time she gets out of the bath and waddles to her room in it, I think I have GOT to write a post on how cute these are! 

It is a great size, perfect for when she grew out of the baby size bath towels, and she will be able to use it for a long time to come.   They have them in all sizes, personalization options and styles.
