Rockin' Green Rocks Our Socks!

Well... I guess it rocks our diapers, maybe not our socks. We discovered the Rockin' Green Cloth Diaper Detergent on facebook a few months ago and we were intrigued. It is all natural, funky detergent that is perfectly safe for cloth diapers. (Check out www.rockingreensoap.com)

I ordered some on Black Friday when they were having a super awesome sale..Shipping kinda killed me but it was still a great sale. I got a whole bunch of small bags with different Christmasy scents...Eggnog, Mint Chocolate, Holiday Berry, Cookie to name a few! And not only did it smell yummy but it came in cute little reusable bags. Bonus! And they sent us a couple cute little scoops for the soap as well. Well I didn't get it until beginning of January (not their fault...darn Canada Post) And then we share the bags of rockin' green. I tried washing my dipes in it and the weird diaper stink that you get from diapers after being washed and worn for a loooong time...well it dissapeared out of my goodmama diapers. I was a bit dissapointed that the smell was still in the monkey doodlez and the thirsties but hey a couple more washes should do it right...Well today I decided to SOAK all my dipes in rocking green in the bathtub...welll....I put clean diapers in to soak and you shoulda seen how nasty that water was afterwards...ewww is all I can say. But I soaked them for a couple hours, wrung them out, put them in the washer and washed them with more rockin' green. AND GUESS WHAT!!!!! The stink is gone! Seriously! the stink from ALL my diapers is now gone! even the hard to dry pain in the butt monkey doodlez! So I just have to say that rockin' green is awesome. We are thinking we might start to carry it, let us know if you'd be interested!

A New Year

Hey Everyone!

Well its a new year and its time for some new products!! We are going to try and actually update our blog on occasion this year! (well more frequently!) And we are introducing a new line of mama cloth. We are looking for testers at the moment as we perfect our desing but let's just say that they will be comfy, cute, absorbant and maybe a snap in liner! We'd love it if you would be interested in trying out our mama cloth! please leave us a comment or email us at lemurkinsandco@gmail.com

Here's a little bit about the benefits of Mama Cloth:

Mama Cloth? Whoa….what? What’s Mama Cloth? Mom’s use cloth diapers too?
Well actually, no…but mama cloth is an alternative to disposable pads/tampons. The benefits of this are the same as for cloth diapering. They are greener, healthier, cheaper in the long run, and still really cute! They are easy to use, and very easy to wash and re-use. You can even get cute little mama cloth wetbags that fit in your purse for when you are out. You can use mama cloth on it’s own, or use a liner type one as a backup for something like the Diva Cup (an alternative to tampons). If you suffer from menstrual cramps, Mama Cloth has less chemicals in it, which helps to reduce the cramping. As Always likes to put it “Have a Happy Period” well with Mama cloth you can have a happier period!

In the Holiday Spirit!

In honour of the upcoming Holiday Season we have decided to spread the cloth diapering love! We are accepting nominations for a family in need with a new baby or one on the way that would really like to use cloth diapers. We will be doing a cloth diaper "drive" for one lucky family to create a diaper stash plus accessories to help them get started and spread the love. See below for information on nominations and how you can help.

Want to help spread the cloth diaper love?
There are three different ways that you can help us spread the love and make this cloth diaper drive a sucess!

1) buy any item in our store and 10% of the profits will go towards funding items for the cloth diaper stash

2) adopt a diaper - from now until December 10th you can "adopt" a diaper or woolies for the diaper drive, for a donation you may choose a diaper style, cloth pattern etc and we will make up a special diaper for the stash. We will even include a card and your best wishes, tips, or love if you so wish.

3) Donate your gently loved diapering items- Do you have cloth diapers, or accessories that are gently loved that you don't need anymore? Donate them to the diaper stash. We are looking for any variety of cloth diapers that are in good used condtion in any sizes plus other cloth diapering accessories (wetbags, snappis, pins, etc).

To Nominate someone please email us at lemurkinsandco@gmail.com with the name of the family, expecting or new baby (due date/age, name and gender if known), and a little bit about why you think they would be good candidates. We will pick one lucky family to receive an entire cloth diaper stash along with the basic accessories to get them started in cloth diapering. You can nominate them anonymously if you so choose (we won't tell :D) They do not need to be from Lethbridge and area as we will ship a wonderful package to them just in time for the Holidays.

Who we are

Welcome to our new blog! We are going to try to update it regularily with sneak peaks, and what we are working on. Now for our new visitors, a little bit about us:

We are a small home based business run by two WAHM with a passion for sewing and simple, green living. Lemurkins and Co Creations was the brain child of Rosina, after being complimented on her sewing and crafty skills. Why not share the creations with others? Then along comes her dear friend Sandra who recently got into cloth diapering. Rosina and Sandra decided to try their hand at making inexpensive yet fabulous cloth diapers for their little ones. From there they expanded outwards to making them for others. Lemurkins and Co Creations carries a wide range of products from Nursing Covers and Accessories, baby blankets, cloth diapers and beyond! For more info, product pictures and pricing check us out on facebook When we hit 25 fans we will do our first draw for a $25.00 gift certificate towards any item or custom order.
