Fluffy Goodness and More at Mama's Emporium {Rump-a-rooz Cloth Diapers}


When I make purchases I try to stay aware of local businesses. While it isn't essential that every purchase I make be local, I love to try and give back to the community. Especially when local means a WAHM.

WAHM = Work at Home Mom... like me!

And while the most recent WAHM I've been working with isn't in So Cal, she has a fabulous online presence with a great selection of products made in the USA. You might remember my post about my daughter's new fabulous nail polish?

Well, Mama's Emporium sells more than just nail polish as I mentioned before. They also sell fabulous fluff. And the fluff below is made in the USA!


I received this gorgeous Rump-a-rooz diaper in the mail a few weeks ago and boy have we had fun testing it out! Not only is this pattern to die for, the diaper also works very well.

Absorbency and Options
What I loved about the diaper as soon as I opened it was the fact that there were many different options for stuffing the diaper. And I was lucky enough to receive not only a microfiber insert, but a hemp insert as well. And we all know how I love hemp!

As I said, Rump-a-rooz gives you options when it comes to inserts:

  • Rumparooz MicroFiber 6r Soaker Set-
  • Rumparooz Bamboo 6r Soaker Set
  • Rumparooz Hemp 6r Soaker Set

Each insert comes with 5 layers! 3 layers are Newborn/Booster and 2 layers are contoured. That means a LOT of added protection in these inserts. And added protection means no leaking!

What I love about the hemp inserts is that because they're so absorbent, I can use this Rump-a-rooz as a nighttime diaper for my daughter. Since she isn't a heavy wetter like my son, this diaper is more than enough for her night time needs.


Contoured and Snug Fit
Another fabulous feature of this diaper is the fact that it's double gusseted in the legs. That means that I don't have to worry about leaks of any kind. There's even an extra gusset at the back of the diaper as well in case anything moves upwards while my daughter is sitting (if you know what I mean).

The Rump-a-rooz one size pocket diaper is also meant to be used throughout each stage in your child's life. From newborn to toddler, this diaper can be snapped down or up to fit perfectly every time.

Since my daughter is petite, I have been using aplix closures on her diapers but recently she started to take her diapers off due to the ease of lifting the aplix tab. So I've had to turn to snap closures instead and that can sometimes be difficult to allow a tight fit for her little waist.

But with the options I have to snap this Rump-a-rooz in place, I have no problem creating the perfect, snug fit every time we put this diaper on her. Its as if this diaper was made to fit her body.


Stylish and Classy
My daughter's gorgeous Lux print is just one of the many options of patterns and colors that Rump-a-rooz is available in. I had such a hard time picking out a pattern that would be perfect for my girl but as soon as I saw this pretty pink diaper, I was in love. And so was my daughter!

As soon as I put the diaper on her, she grabbed her pearls and her nail polish and headed outside so I could take a few photos. Of course we only got a few of her actually looking at me. The rest of the time she was playing with her car and water table. And she sure looked fabulous!

Rump-a-rooz also includes solid prints as well such as Rootbeer brown, Amethyst purple, Tulip pink, Crimson red, and many more. For a full page of all of the patterns and colors available check out Mama's Emporium's website.


Interested in cloth diapering but aren't quite sure where to start? 

Rump-a-rooz would be a great diaper to have on hand for an easy transition to cloth diapering. We love this diaper for night time use and as an emergency diaper in the diaper bag since it's simple and easy to use while out and about.

All Girl from her Head to her Toes {Organic Kids Nail Polish}

When I found out my second child was going to be a girl I was ecstatic!

As soon as I saw the ultrasound and her girly parts I screamed out, "It's a girl!!" before the tech even had time to announce it.

So imagine my reaction when my daughter started to become obsessed with all things girly. Every time I put on lip stick or lip gloss she requests some as well. And when her daddy told her no, she came to me after I put mine on and asked for a kiss because she knew that would put lip stick on her too (she even smacked her lips after kissing me!!).

She has even started to notice when I put nail polish on and begged me to paint her toe nails after I finished mine.

Since I knew some of the ingredients in my nail polish, I started searching for an alternative nail polish for my little girl. One free of chemicals and nasties. That's when I stumbled upon Piggy Paint


Piggy Paint is a natural, non-toxic nail polish made especially for little toes.

Why is it the safe nail polish?

Piggy Paint is:
  • Non-toxic 
  • Low Odor 
  • Water-based formula 
  •  Hypoallergenic 
  • Fun, vibrant colors 
  • Dries to a hard, durable finish 
  • Cruelty-free 
  • Safe for use during Pregnancy!

That means I don't worry when my daughter asks me to paint her nails for the 100th time. And another awesome fact about Piggy Paint? It's made in the USA!


And how cute are these painted piggies? Adorable, right?

I was lucky enough to find Piggy Paint sold in my favorite online store, Mama's Emporium. And not only does Mama's Emporium carry Piggy Paint Nail Polish, they also carry just about any natural, organic product out there.

If there's something you absolutely love to use and don't see it in the store, simply contact Mama's Emporium and make a request for them to carry that item! How awesome is that? They truly are a one-stop shop to all natural and organic baby essentials.
