It is coming to a close! *tear*


I hope y’all had a fab time this week! Let’s recap, shall we???


Monday I had big news (regarding me and Applecheeks anyway… None of y’all seemed to care ha!)
Tuesday we had our BIG Twitter party that was a MAJOR success!
Wednesday was Wordless Wednesday, Applecheeks Edition with the cutest kid on the planet!
Thursday I introduced Applecheeks’ not-just-diapers products and gave you a chance to win a SWIM DIAPER!


Such a fun week! I’d like to thank Ilana for giving me the opportunity to share with y’all this awesome company and product that I truly believe in! She is so awesome! If you have the opportunity to ever work with her, Amy, or Applecheeks in general, I HIGHLY suggest you take it. Working with people so wonderful doesn’t happen too often anymore!


Now on to the Little Bundle Review!!!


I already touched on the top ten things I love best about Applecheeks. I’m going to a little more in depth today!


1. DELICIOUS colors.

Need I say more? Didn’t think so.


2. Bamboo.
Bamboo is my favorite type of insert. It’s extremely trim and extremely absorbent. It’s soft enough for your baby’s bum and you never have to worry about it sucking the moisture out of your baby’s skin like mircofiber does. Bamboo is also antimicrobial, so it’s the healthiest choice for sensitive areas. If it’s good enough for pandas, it’s good enough for Austin ;)


3. 2 size.
Yes, onesize diapers can save you some cash, but really at what cost?! Bulkiness, unperfect fit, and more trouble that they were worth. Applecheeks is a 2 size system. You still save a TON of money compared to disposables and cloth diapers that come in 4 sizes. You have a trim fit and never have to GUESS what setting to snap your diapers to!


4. Elastic in the front.
When Austin was little and was just learning to sit up, these were the ONLY diaper he could sit in because of the elastic in the front. He has the flexibility to move the ways he needs to. He’s bending and crawling now, and I don’t have to worry about the sharp edges of PUL and stitching cutting into his belly or limiting how far he can lean and reach and turn and scoot. Cloth diapers are well-known for keeping the poo in because of the elastic in the back, but what about the front? Belly sleepers? Rejoice mommies. This one is for you!


5. Snaps.
I. Love. Snaps. But y’all knew this already. I don’t have to worry about a velcro chain when I’m doing my diaper laundry. I don’t have to worry about the velcro snagging my clothes when I’m carrying Austin (thanks for ruining my bathing suit, old velcroed diaper that I sold to @RiGatorMom), or Austin pulling the tabs and diaper off.
The snaps also don’t have to be set on the same row. You can adjust for the perfect fit on chunky thighs, skinny legs, round bellies, and slim bellies.


6. Ilana & Amy.
Amazing customer service. Have a problem? You can find them on Twitter, Facebook, and the blog at any time. They actually care about their customers and the babies and are 100% concerned if you have an issue and will walk you through any troubleshooting and help remedy the problem. Plus, Ilana is hilarious. I haven’t worked with Amy as much, but they both definitely have a good sense of humor.


7. Options.
Applecheeks is easy. Covers and bamboo. It’s simplified so YOU can get crazy! Use them as a Pocket or an All In Two! Get a Mini Test (cover with 3 inserts) for your AI2 needs or a Little Bundle (cover and insert) for your Pocket baby. Get a Mini Test for your nighttime heavy wetter for double stuffing.


8. Durability.
This kid has gotten poop (duh), STRAWBERRY, chalk, the side of the pool, and so much more on his diapers. And guess what? They look perfect. I thought my Forget Me Not diaper was ruined after Slaughter Of The Strawberry, but after the wash, I couldn’t tell which Forget Me Not had been injured in the line of juice.

But next time I used Cherry Tomato, JUST IN CASE!


9. Affordability.
Done using that disposable? You throw it away. Done with Applecheeks? Wash it. And wash it again. and again. I told you they were durable. You are going to save a TON through ALL your kiddos. A lot of people say that Applecheeks are pricey, but here is my take on that…
-They fit
-Bamboo
-Snaps instead of velcro
-Manufactured in North America
-Can be used as a Pocket OR an All In Two
You get what you pay for. I have experienced this FIRST HAND 100%.


10. Pampering.
Applecheeks has spoiled me to the core. You don’t have to pull icky stinky wet inserts out of the pockets. They agitate out! I am so spoiled… I have one other pocket diaper in my stash (because I canNOT let go of the print!) and I always forget to take its insert out. I just turn my wet bags inside out, dumping the diapers in the washer, and toss the bag in with them, never ever touching ANYTHING wet or stinky. So that loan poor pocket that isn’t as cool as Applecheeks gets forgotten about…




So as you can see, I LOVE Applecheeks! But what do Austin and Christopher have to say about them?!







I don’t think there is much else to say!


Thank you for joining us this week. I hope you learned something new about Applecheeks and enjoyed seeing Austin’s cutieness!


Want a Little Bundle of your own? I’m giving TWO away on Baby Bumble B!
