GREEN BABY DIAPERS

To be a green "crunchy" mom, mothering the earth as well as our babies, we all need to make choices. To cloth or to disposable diaper? That is the question, subject to debates ranging from finances to convenience.

Nevertheless, we all have choices. And today, I'm featuring a truly adorable option! Cloth diapers that have absorbent pad inserts! These adjustable, washable and earth-friendly diapers have fleece that let the moisture through to the absorbent pads. No, it's not going to leak through because the diapers are leak proof. I haven't tried it yet, but I also hear that it's still cool enough for baby to wear in our tropical weather. You just take out the wet insert and place another one in, then baby's good to go again! Unless when they poop, you really have to change the entire thing. However, the poop washes off the fleece easily so you can have it washed and ready for duty in a couple of hours' time.

It does save on a huge bundle of disposable diaper funds. Not to mention, cutting down on what ends up as poopy landfill.

There are a lot of these cute diapers out there and I was happy to find a supplier of the better brands here in the Philippines. Ilaria Keogh, a crunchy mom, imports them from the US and has her own shop online called Terra Babies Boutique. Just a tip though, open her site using IE as Firefox gets a bit wonky.

Personally, I'm eyeing those batik prints from Bumwear, a Singaporean company started by, yep! A Mom! As soon as I can, I'll spring for a couple. (My, my . . . don't our priorities change? Good-bye shoe fetish fund!) Thank god it's available here and I don't need a credit card to purchase it online and wait forever for the delivery!

Ilaria is just over at Ayala, Alabang, but she can also meet up with you to show you her luscious earth-baby goodies! She's also at the monthly AWCP bazaar at the World Trade Center in Pasay. She has a lot of other products as well, and I will go through them to feature here. But don't wait! Go check her out now for stuff that would make you, your baby, your budget and Momma Earth verrrry happy!

MORE WISE-A$$ SHIRTS

You've most likely seen them around and snickered at the jokes. Who doesn't like a smart-mouthed shirt?

Here are a few of my favorites that I see online.



Anybody remember Zoolander? Heh. Should have known, someone wouldn't let that gem pass them by!

This next one is *definitely* mine!



I wonder if they got a girly version? Hmm...a chubby goddess shirt would be in order!

Woohoo...this other one *smacks* of confidence!



For Super Mario lovers, a blast from the past!



And my absolute favorite:


Now go find one that rocks your world!

LUSCIOUS LINGERIE!

Yes! I am a hot, hot MOMMA! I got hips, I got curves, I got just what my man *lurves!* Heehee!

This is such a decadent piece. Who says skinny women have all the fun? I would suggest this for a second honeymoon or just for the heck of it. One must get this more for the self than for the hubby (who will still be jaw-droppingly appreciative, for lack of a better term)!

I just love going through this site! They have large sizes and nothing frumpy! I'm just waiting for my affiliate approval then I'm putting a storefront here so you can browse through.

Warning to the ladies though, be prepared to vamp!

Sigh. Where's a credit card when you need one?!

I DON'T GET IT!

Just a quick rant! This is most *definitely* not a luscious pick.

Oona, RF and I were wandering aimlessly around Glorietta when we passed by this very high-end, ultra-posh, uber sosyal store.

What caught my eye, my incredulity, mixed horror and amusement, my dears was this frock. Very simple, supposedly elegant but what the heck are those things?

Are those pockets?? Or built-in drawstring handbags?

Or are they like this medical glove box? Someone tell me please.

PICK OF THE WEEK!

FOR MOMMIES!!! Yes! We's gots SUPAH POWAHS!

I so LOVE THIS!!!!

I definitely wish someone would sell these here. It would drive home the point to people who keep turning their noses at breastfeeding.

Making milk ain't easy. Sure, cows make milk. But can they they wear THIS? Nooo.

Another cool factor to keeping our babies breastfed for as long as possible!

Check it out at Attached At The Hip by Crunchy Goddess along with other cool momma stuff oozing with lusciousness!


Here's another shirt I love. It's a maternity shirt so it's a little long and it could double as a comfy night shirt after giving birth.

At the back, there are the Top 10 Reasons for Breastfeeding.

Of course, they forgot the other health benefits for Moms, especially about losing the pregnancy weight! Hehe!





FOR BABIES... this really cracked me up. From the same lady who brought us the shirts above in her baby boutique Cute As A Bug.

Although the pee and poop were lumped together in just one category, pwede na rin.

I wish (again) Oona had this. It's such a wise-ass shirt to wear.



Sigh. Next kid, I'm definitely getting one of these. The better to boast of my super powers, my lactivism or how cool my kid is!

First Post!

Finally! I hope I am going to be able to launch this part of my chain of blogs!
