Rockin Green Giveaway

I just started cloth diapering (at home only for now) my 14 ½ month old and there was no question what detergent I was going to use! Rockin Green Cloth Diaper Detergent is made of biodegradable, eco-friendly ingredients and is 100% phosphate free which makes it good for the planet and gentle on your little one.

Rockin Green doesn’t believe in a “one-size fits all” approach to cloth diaper laundry so they have 3 different formulas (for different water types) Soft Rock, Classic Rock and Hard Rock. When in doubt, Rockin Green suggests starting with Classic Rock.

Rockin Green also comes in a variety of 100% natural scents with some seriously rockin names:

• Orangevana - orange and cream combine together to reach a new level of cleaning awareness
• Smashing Watermelons - this juicy watermelon blend is like a kick to your senses
• The Green Tea's - the zen like blend of green tea and aloe, is sure to make it to the top of your playlist.
• Rage against the Raspberry - this raspberry and honey blend will have you running around the laundry room looking for the mosh pit!
• Mötley Cleän - there's clean and then there's Mötley Cleän. This fresh blend has hints of ocean, fresh linen, and sunshine.
• Lavender Mint Revival - this medley of lavender and mint is like nothing you have heard or smelled before!
• Bare Naked Babies- because we love the smell of babies, we offer an unscented variety too!

Best For Babes

Since today is the last day of World Breastfeeding Week (and the first day that I’ve been able to write anything) I wanted to do an “official” Haute Mommy World Breastfeeding Week post. I breastfed Bryce for exactly a year. He started walking the day before his 1st birthday and self weaned the day after.

I just discovered the Best For Babes foundation last month and I love the “makeover” they are giving breastfeeding! Their haute logo is even featured on a Moby Wrap! (Get 15% off any Moby Wrap purchase with code "hautemoby" good through August 20th) Best For Babes believes that “women are being pressured to breastfeed but set up to fail!” So they want to help moms beat the “booby traps” or “barriers to breastfeeding success.”

Best For Babes Credo: “ALL moms deserve to make an informed feeding decision, & to be cheered on, coached and celebrated without pressure, judgment or guilt, whether they breastfeed for 2 days, 2 months 2 years, or not at all. ALL breastfeeding moms deserve to succeed & have a positive breastfeeding experience without being “booby trapped”!

Why can't breastfeeding be haute? Support Best For Babes on Facebook and twitter! Also, all proceeds from the Best For Babes Moby Wrap go to the Best For Babes foundation.

My haute breastfeeding picture (you may have to look closely) getting my hair done for the first time after my son was born!

Dylbug Giveaway

I first discovered Dylbug through babysteals.com (a wonderfully addicting ‘deal a day’ site if you don’t already know) and instantly fell in love with the soft cotton and haute designs. Just recently my son Bryce got to model their new personalized ‘Birthday Boy’ onesies for the website too!

Dylbug offers a great variety of onesies, toddler tees and receiving blankets all handmade with original designs. Most designs can be personalized with the baby’s name and they even take custom orders too! I’m ordering a custom dinosaur onesie for my best friend who is due with her first in September (hopefully she doesn’t read this).

“Leslie Mingo started the company in 2003 after the birth of her first son. She was inspired to create cool, hip designs with a personal touch. Now with two boys and a baby girl, she is constantly designing new and fun graphics for the little ones to wear.” The name Dylbug is actually an adaptation of her first son’s name, Dylan. How cute is that?

Win a Retro Rider Tricycle Toddler Tee! Your choice between the white in size 12-18 months or brown in size 4T (the toddler tees run small).

How to Enter:

Mandatory Entry- Visit Dylbug’s website and let me know what your favorite design is by commenting below. (Make sure you include your email address if it isn’t visible on your profile)

The Beginning

Derek and I met working in a nightclub. He was a V.I.P. host and I was an alcohol promo girl… It was love at first sight! Some would say we were living the “glamorous life” since we only worked weekends and were able to go out and have fun the rest of the week. In fact, our first date was a day trip to Disneyland where we ended up upgrading our tickets to annual passes. That’s when I knew he was a keeper! When we became parents, it was a HUGE lifestyle change. I am now a full time stay-at-home mom and Derek works extremely hard at a “regular” job with “normal hours.” I’m sure if you asked any of my friends or family they would say that I transitioned effortlessly into mommyhood… Being a mom really does seem to come naturally to me BUT the biggest challenge for me has been trying to take care of myself. I never wanted to be a “frumpy mom” but I’m ashamed to admit that I now go days at a time without doing (or even washing) my hair. And I’ve even been known to rock the sweatpants multiple days in a row too! (This is coming from someone who pre-baby wouldn’t wear the same outfit twice.) So now that I’ve survived the first year of being a mom… Join me as I try to find “myself” again and discover what’s haute (and not) for moms and babies.
