Sorry it's been so long

To all of our readers - we are sorry for not keeping up with our blog. We still have a lot of vision, goals and plans for this blog, just life has limited time a lot.

I, Michelle have been busy opening up our new store front, RG Natural Babies, in Racine, Wisconsin. We had our Grand Opening event on May 28th and have been blessed with the opportunity to share cloth diapers with more people. And while many still don't want to go that route, we have had numerous sales of the reusable swim diapers, which I still count as a success as they keep several swim disposables out of the land fills!

We feel like we are still trying to get settled in - it has been a lot of work and many hours of sacrifice. But we are blessed by the support we have received. It will take a lot of time to grow our business, but there is so much encouragement and a lot of people who have expressed how glad they are that we have opened this store here. We pray that it continues to grow.

Besides the swim diapers, a couple more popular items have been the Natural Sun Screen and Bug Spray that we carry - I must say, these work awesome!

Kristin hasn't had as much time to post either. You can however find her occasionally at the Brookfield Farmers Market on Saturday Mornings. She was off for a few weeks as the volleyball team she coaches made it to Nationals and she had the opportunity to take them down to Florida. They placed 33 out of 127! Way to go Kristin!

She is also working on a new cart for her online store, My Baby Pumpkin, which is going to have a new awesome design, she is enjoying more outside time with her kids this summer, and has a new project she's working on that she'll be sure to announce soon :)

We are excited to say we should be updating more frequently than we have even if life doesn't slow down. AND of course ahead this week will be a giveaway... of what is still being decided as there are so many great options to choose from! I'm thinking either a diaper or possibly one of the summer necessities like bug spray or sun screen - any thoughts and I'd be happy to listen :)

Have a blessed day and I'm happy to be posting again and getting back to making Wisconsin a greener place!

Monkey Doodlez Swim Diaper Giveaway

Summer's coming!!! (well for those of us in the Northern States... we hope) So what better time than now to get ready with a Swim Diaper for your little one!

Cheryl, the owner of Monkey Doodlez Diapers in Canada is generously giving one away through RG Natural Babies - your choice of size and print (pending what's in stock)! And this is open to ship in the US or Canada!!!

And get ready... here is a link to a picture of their newest print! Now who wouldn't love that?

Now - if you don't use Cloth Diapers - don't let this stop you from entering this giveaway. Just because you don't use Cloth Diapers, doesn't mean you can't use Swim Diapers. I know many people who will just use the swim diapers! Why? Because Swim disposable diapers are made to hold in the poop, not necessarily the pee - as soon as baby/toddler goes into the water with one - it fills up with water. But both will equally hold in the poop and then you don't have to pull off a soggy wet disposable diaper off your baby when they come out.

You may ask, what do I do with a swim diaper before we go in the pool if it has no absorbency? Put a towel underneath if you'll be sitting for a little bit - or we've put a couple of cloth wipes in the swim diaper before going into the water and just take it out before (and we've never actually had it be wet).

More about Monkey Doodlez? I love Monkey Doodlez Products, their All in Ones are one of my favorites! And their new Tuck & Go diaper will be in stock at RG Natural Babies soon! If you haven't tried any Monkey Doodlez Products, here's your chance to at least try a swim diaper!
