Celebration Giveaway- "21 Day Challenge Ends"!

Today we have our friends over at Mama and Baby Love hosting our fun giveaway to celebrate the end of our "21 Day Challenge".  For those of you who participated in the the challenge, we hope you had fun and were able to see a positive impact on your life as you made a change for 21 days.  I know it has been a very positive experience for me and I plan on doing more of these challenges in the near future.

Mama and Baby Love just released their new ecookbook and we thought this would be a great win for all our readers!

About the book:

This ecookbook has nine new recipes in it, twenty total.  I have even included my family’s famous empanada recipe in it for extra fun.  Everyone always asks me for the recipe, so here you go!

It also has all my classic recipes, some that have updated and tweaked just a bit for added flavor.

It also includes grocery lists.  I divided up all the recipes into groups of three.  So you can easily shop for 3 recipes, which of course makes 6 meals.

Each recipe has nutrition info.  So you know exactly how many calories, protein etc that you are consuming.  Although, I will mention, try not to count calories, and just focus on eating good quality, real food and you will be lean eventually, promise.

And lastly, the book includes some super cute labels that you can print out and place onto your freezer bags.  It will tell you the name of the recipe, any items that need to be added the day of cooking and a place to write the day you assembled and placed in your freezer.

To Enter Giveaway (Total of 5 Entries Possible):


1.  Like EB on Facebook.


2.  Like Mama and Baby Love on Facebook and tell them you came from the 21 Day Challenge Giveaway.


3.  Follow or subscribe to our blog.


4.  Follow us on Pinterest.

Giveaway ends 5/23 at NOON (EST)!


Good luck!

Photo Contest for the Great Cloth Diaper Change - Tallahassee

I am SO EXCITED to announce we are doing a really fun photo contest in conjunction with the Tallahassee Great Cloth Diaper Change!

We are partnering with Casey Yu of Casey Yu Photography to gather photos for our new website, which we will be rolling out soon. Casey will be on hand at the Great Cloth Diaper Change on Saturday, April 21, taking tons of photos to document the event and gather evidence to submit to the Guiness Book of World Records.

What better way to gather photos of precious babies in their cloth diapers than with a contest?! And who doesn't love a good prize? And we do indeed have a good one! The winner of the contest will receive a GroVia starter pack! That's right - you get two shells (in snap or hook-n-loop) in the color/print of your choice AND two sets of soaker pads! That's a half-days worth of diapers!

What must you do to enter such a fabulous contest? It's easy! Just be sure the cloth diaper you bring to change your baby into at the Great Cloth Diaper Change is one we currently sell. You can see all of our inventory on our site. Thirsties, Bummis, Tots Bots, Knickernappies, GroVia, BumGenius - take your pick! Then we'll take your pic! :)

Change your baby into one of our diapers, then stick around after the change. From 1-2pm, Casey will have her mobile studio set up in one of the small rooms at ARTS Afterschool. Stop in and let her snap a great shot of your baby (or toddler!) modeling one of our diapers, and sign a waiver that you understand the picture may be used on our website for promotional purposes. Looking for a great shot to frame and hang on the wall? You're in luck! Discounted photo packages will be available. Contact Casey for more details.

After she takes all of the pictures, Casey will post them all in a special album on her Facebook page. Go ahead and LIKE her so you're ahead of the game! Once they are all up, the contest is ON! Tell your friends and family to go find your picture, and to LIKE it. After a week, the picture with the most LIKES, wins the prize! As well as big time bragging rights. :)

A chance to have your sweet baby featured on our website...

A chance to win a fabulous prize package...

A chance to have a beautiful portrait taken by one of Tallahassee's top photographers...

What's not to love?! Round up one of our diapers, and let's take some pictures!

See you on Saturday, April 21!

Giveaway: Trainer of Your Choice

I know we all hope that our children will eventually stop using their adorable cloth diapers someday.  Why not be prepared for the day when it comes by winning one of our new trainers?

The two trainers we now carry, Flip Trainer and GroVia's "My Choice" Trainer, have brought cloth trainers to a new level.  We've tested a bunch before these and I have not had a trainer that is as trim and versatile than these.

The Flip trainer comes as a kit and give you 5 pads.  That's an awesome deal.  It also goes up to 50lbs.  This is a great trainer for getting started with potty training.  At first you'll need to assist them in pulling it up and down.  Later, they'll be able to do it on their own.

GroVia's trainer is more like an extension of underwear with added protection.  It will accelerate the training process and will appeal to those toddlers who want something that makes them feel like a "big boy" or "big girl".  It's not made to be an absorbent diaper like the Flip Trainer.  However, it has a pocket, so you could add more protection if you need it.

This is an easy giveaway to enter!  Some of these entries can be entered daily, so check back in and earn more points!

Good luck!
