Etsy features: Le Petit Owlet

This is my first Etsy feature shop and I know you are going to love it.
This shop has so much creativity and love going into each item. I'm a huge fan of cloth diapers but I think that the commercial diapers that are so popular (which I use) lose a lot of character. This shop, Le Petit Owlet, satisfies me on every level. Her diapers are CUTE. I mean, hello, ADORABLE, babylust inducing, lovely.
Each of her diapers are handmade with lots of love and care, and in case you don't know much about cloth diapers, these are excellent quality. She offers choices in materials like wool, which is all natural and eco friendly. easy to care for, great for baby's bum. You can even custom chose your fabrics if you don't see anything that suits your fancy, but you will. She has the sweetest prints!
How much better could it be?
Well, as it turns out, it does get better. This shop has so much character and charm, from her really beautiful vintage dresses to her lovely little boy's face and her handmade pads for breastfeeding mammas.


Please go check it out, and visit her blog as well. You're going to love her.

Take my word for it

This morning, as Pappa Starbucks was walking out the door, he unplugged my iphone and handed it to me. I was standing in our kitchen and I turned it over in my palm and gave him a smooch goodbye. As he walked past me in the kitchen, his arm brushed my iphone out of my hand and it landed face down on our linoleum floor.
Little berry saw it on the floor and lit up. She loves the Peekaboo barn App and thought she was going to get a turn.
I quickly swooped down to pick it up. I've dropped it getting in the car before in the parking lot and thought "yikes! glad that wasn't on cement!" But I never put a cover on it because I love the sleek lightweight feel of it in m palm, the ease of carrying it in my pocket without a case.
The screen is glass, so all those cracks are slivers of glass waiting to cut your face, making flicking the screen nearly impossible. Go put a case on your iphone. Even pricey hardcover ones are cheaper than replacing it. A new screen is $79 and a new Iphone is about $100. A new iphone PLUS a new case is about $120. Even if you're terrible at math you can see that a new cover is your best option, just go do it. You can thank me later.
