Favourite Nappy

We have received our first photo for the 'Favourite Nappy' competition, and he is GORGEOUS! I can't wait to see some more beautiful bubbas and their wonderful cloth bums.

To enter, you need to be a liker of the tubbles Facebook page. So if you haven't liked us, head on over now. You will then need to email me a photo of your loved one in your (or their) favourite nappy, with an explanation of why it is loved so much. This will need to be done by 11.59pm on Sunday, 31st July 2011.

Photos will be uploaded, and other likers of the tubbles Facebook page will be able to vote for each photo. More details of how this will work will be released when the photos are uploaded.

The top 10 finalists will feature on the tubbles website, www.tubblesonline.com (if you do not want this, please let me know)

The winner will be able to choose a Zoobie Pet of their choice!

There will also be a prize for the best, and most creative answer.

Decisions and Competitions

We've just had to discuss a big decision in the 'tubbles' household in the last 24 hours. So, while I was doing all this thinking (and worrying), I thought I would like to do something fun to help take my mind off of it... so I am going to hold a competition!

I would like to know what your favourite nappy is, and why. So I ask for you to send in a photo of your child in your favourite nappy (or their's!), with a reason why it is your favourite. Photos will be uploaded, and people will be allowed to vote on what photo they think is best.

The winner will receive a Zoobie Pet of their choice!

I will also give a prize to the best and most creative answer.

Entries will close 11.59pm, Sunday, July 31st, 2011.

Gift Packs

I've been trying to come up with some gift pack ideas, to suit all kinds of people and situations. It is hard to think outside the box you can get yourself trapped in to though. While my ideas may seem great to me, I am not so sure that they are great to others. I have found this to be true on many occasions, including buying stock. So I thought I would share my ideas with you and hope to get some feedback.


So far my ideas are:

• Modern cloth nappy starter pack, which will include one of each kind of nappy available. E.g. a pocket nappy, an all-in-one, an all-in-two, etc
• A gift pack for children or babies, including a Zoobie and a matching story
• A pocket nappy starter set, which will include different brands of pocket nappies (this will be done for the other types as well)
• A new mummy package, which I am still coming up with ideas for
• Mummy to be package, which I am looking for ideas for too

What other packs would you like to see? What do you or did you wish you could have got as a 'pack'?

Time Away

I feel like I am getting better at packing, each trip I take. The first trip we took with Lily, I think we had a suit case each, a pram, a portacot, a car seat. We had to sit with heaps of stuff on us so we could fit ourselves in the car - and I used disposables on this trip too!! 


This trip I have managed to bring down only on board luggage, for a trip probably longer than the first one we took, with our favourite MCNs in tow too! (although I did use some of mum's onboard luggage for this) Hopefully next time I will have it down to just on board luggage. Imagine that!!! I could probably bring less MCNs down with me and wash more often, but I have too many favourite ones to decide on which one to leave at home, I think. I am sure there are other ways I could save room though. (Although I always find that I am going home with a lot more than I came down with, does anyone else have this issue?)

What are you best travelling tips? What is something that you CAN'T live without when you go away? Is there anything that you have that you find helps you save room, while still having all the 'necessities'?

I always feel like I 'think' more while I am away from home (and Chris). Maybe it is because I don't have him around to talk to, so I 'talk' more with myself, or maybe it is because I don't have my daily tasks to look after, such as the washing or cleaning the house. In saying that though, I can't ever wait to get home!

Where and when do you seem to get most of your thinking done?
