CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ MiniMaestro™ Diapers Review & Giveaway!!
Monday, April 30th, 2012
MiniMaestro™ was born when a mother, Sophie Gratton, was having a difficult time finding diapers that fit all of her criteria. This mommy of 2 children wanted to find diapers that were green and didn’t want anything to do with the regular plastic ones that would sit in the landfill for years to come. After lots of research, Sophie was extremely surprised to find out that day after day, in Canada only, we were filling up landfills with a huge amount of disposable diapers; in fact, more than 4,5 millions per day!
For some, it can be hard to imagine a world without plastic – especially plastic bags.
The cons of using plastic bags are so overwhelming I don’t think I can think of any pros. They are a huge pollution problem, their lightweight design allows them to blow away easily. The fact that they are free gives them no value so people don’t think about how they dispose of them. They are made from petroleum, which could be used for fuel or energy. They don’t biodegrade, instead they breakdown and are mistaken for food and are often eaten by both land and marine animals which is fatal. They are found everywhere and many animals become fatally entangled.
They are not biodegradable, so they will persist pretty much forever, wherever they end up. Landfills if we are lucky, but because of their widespread use and their ability to fly away in the wind, they can be a big part of the trash along roads and fields. If they get into the water, they look like food and end up clogging the stomachs of a variety of animals, most famously sea turtles looking for jellyfish.
The recycling of plastic bags, while preferable to other disposal methods, is not cost-effective. Plastic bags have only existed for 25 years yet the billions that have been produced since then have caused immeasurable damage to the environment and to wildlife. Therefore, MiniMaestro™ Diapers is definitely the way to go for any new parents!!
MiniMaestro™ carries a sized pocket diaper in 5 different sizes in an extensive array of 12 funky colours. I received a size medium MiniMaestro™ Diaper in the colour pink to review. Since they are a sized diaper you don’t have to worry about the snaps to figure out the rise and in fact, you don’t have to worry about snaps at all. Instead of snapping the wings around your baby’s waist, you use the Velcro tabs. There is a wide band across the waist that allows you to get the best fit possible for your baby. There are laundry tabs so the Velcro doesn’t attach to everything during the washing process. There is a single wide opening to place your insert inside the diaper. The insert is made of natural and synthetic fibers between 2 layers of extremely plushy soft bamboo fleece!
I love MiniMaestro™ Diapers and recommend that everyone purchase these from now on! They:
- Extensible and waterproof PUL outer shell
- Soft microfleece inner to keep baby dry
- Form-fitting elastics to prevent leaks
- Wide pocket opening with double elastics, for easy stuffing
- Long folding aplix tabs
- Wide front band to adjust the height of the waist
They also come in a variety of sizes to fit baby just perfectly!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ PhoneFetcher Review & Giveaway!!
Sunday, April 29th, 2012
I recently came across a nifty little gadget on the net called the PhoneFetcher and it’s so neat!
If you are anything like me, you are forever misplacing your cell phone, (or in my case, I continually think that I have lost it for good and have mini panic attacks while searching through my purse or pockets for it!!) and without thinking you set it down somewhere, or with a huge purse like mine, it’s difficult finding anything — let alone a cell phone!
Well thanks to the PhoneFetcher, one no longer has to worry about where their cell phone is any longer.
The PhoneFetcher is simply mde on a stretchable bungee cord, which allows texting and viewing without having to disconnect the phone. When the phone is removed from the bag, we leave our PhoneFetchers hanging out of our bag to alert us as we leave, that we do not have our phone with us.
This new handy PhoneFetcher just simply attaches to a purse, back pack, gym bag, baby bag, belt loop, etc. on one end, and the other end attaches easily to the earphone plug of a smart phone, mp3 player, iphone, or what have you! I tried it today while I was out, and let me tell you — it worked like a charm!! My friend Debbie always reminds me that it’s my OCD kicking in when I am forever searching for my iPhone, but not any more! This nifty new gadget surely takes the worry out of me, no more hunting endlessly for my phone! Hurray!!
The PhoneFetcher comes in a variety of very pretty colours, so purchase one … or purchase them all! These also make the perfect gifts, and are especially great to use for stocking stuffers as well!
I absolutely recommend the PhoneFetcher to everyone out there! You won’t be sorry! It honestly saves you so much time and trouble!
♥→I received product for review. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products. Your opinions and results may differ than mine.←♥
Buy It!! Available online at PhoneFetcher.com

I will be checking for duplicate entries to make sure it’s fair, and no cheating will be tolerated!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Bloom Creative Studio Review & Giveaway!!
Saturday, April 28th, 2012
As many of you know, I have 35 nieces & nephews (this 35 makes up for both nieces/nephews AND great nieces/nephews), with 2 on the way. It is always exciting to be able to shop for all of my little pumpkins, although it is honestly hard to find great quality children’s clothing at reasonable prices. Great quality usually equals great price tags unfortunately, and with so many to buy for, it’s really difficult for me to afford it all.
Furthermore, I also find it hard to locate stylish children’s clothing that is unique to all others. Until of course, I came across Bloom Creative Studio on the internet and fell right in love! Bloom Creative Studio sells all things children on their main website, as well as also maintaining an Etsy Store!
On their main website, you can find:
