Something smells delicious!

We have been sending wool wash bits with our woolies orders at Baby Snickerdoodles for awhile now, and we have been VERY pleased with the products at Crow Mountain Crafts! Lisa is extremely sweet, professional, and makes great products that work and smell DELICIOUS!

That is why this time, when we were re-ordering our wool wash bits, we decided to add another product to our sample list!!

 Lisa was SO sweet to send us the labels for the wool wash bits, AND the goat milk soap, so each little sample will have its own label, how cool is that!?

 Hello, Goat Milk Soap! For all the orders that won't need wool wash, you will get a wonderful slice of this deliciousness ♥ I can't wait!

Picture Tutorial!

Picture tutorial to measure your baby for wool diaper covers!

At some point in the future, I would LOVE to make a video tutorial, but in the meantime, I figured this would help any mamas that aren't quite sure how to measure baby!

Note: For modesty reason, I am measuring OVER a wool cover....DO NOT DO THIS in real life! LOL ;) Make sure to measure baby while he/she is wearing the system of diapers that is in your stash (fitteds, prefolds, disposables, trainers, etc...)

#1 Measure baby's waist, RIGHT above where their diaper comes. this usually will be just under their belly button in the front, and is typically not the chubbiest part of baby's belly. If you measure too high, this will give you a false waist measurement that will be too large, so make sure it is taken at the exact point that you want your covers' waistband to be.  

#2 Measure Baby's Rise, by placing the tip of your cloth measuring tape RIGHT above the dipe in front...holding it in place, roll baby over and bring tape through his/her legs, over the fluffy bum, and to just above where the diaper comes in the back! With a prefold, you are going to get a smaller rise than a fitted, because fitteds are alot more bulky/fluffy.

This is why it is so important to measure baby while he/she is wearing your system of choice :) If you measure over a prefold, and wonder why your woolies don't even cover a fitted in the back all the way, this is why ;)

#3 Measure baby's inseam, by placing the tip of the tape in the very center of the gusset area. Hold the tape snug with baby'dipe as you bring it over to the thigh, and then down the leg...
Bring the tape all the way to the ankle, or heel, depending on if you want them to be regular or a little long. This shows Emilie having a 11.5" inseam, but I often will make her inseam 1/2" longer, just for some extra growing room for her body type...can anyone say Ballerina? LOL! #4 To measure baby's thigh, you don't necessarily want the chubbiest part of the thigh...just wrap around RIGHT below the edge of where baby's dipe comes, as that is where you want a soaker's cuffs to be snug and fit well.

If you are measuring for longies though, yes, it is probably a good idea to measure the thighs at the chubbiest part, wherever on the thigh that may be :)

Okey doke, thats it! Your good to go! Remember that not all WAHM's measure the same, nor do they use your measurements the same way as I do, to create their covers. It is always a good idea to confirm with the shop you purchase with, what their specific methods are, ESPECIALLY if you are requesting a custom order ♥

Its Longies season!

Ahh...the frosty mornings, the heater cranking on, the fireplaces roaring, and the candles burning holiday scents into your house...

Sure signs that winter is alive and well!

Through the summer, we loved putting shorties, skirties, and soakers on our baby girl, but now she is full-time longies...which I LOVE!

She will be getting another beautiful pair of crochet longies for Christmas, but until then, I am just sewing up orders here, and making sure all the shops are stocked for next week's "Black Friday", can you believe it's already upon us??

I'm about to cut out some longies from this fluff.....

I'll be posting on the Baby Snickerdoodles facebook page where they will be stocking, so keep an eye out! :)

Now, I know ya'll knew about us stocking on The NinjaBox, The Wonderland Congo, and Etsy...but now there is another place to look for Baby Snickerdoodles fluff, and that is at the all-boy congo, Kings of The Castle!!
We had joined KoTC not long before the congo took a sebatical for the beginning of the new school year, and now we are happy to announce that it has just re-opened!

We will be stocking longies, as well as other Baby Snickerdoodles items, in all of these 4 locations, so make sure to check them all out, and keep an eye out for the Black Friday deals that will be announced next week ♥♥

NinjaBox!

Has anyone heard of it???

Well, the basics of it, is that every month or so, WAHM's contribute an item for a stealthy "Box" of goodies!

Some are sized, some are one-size...some are toys, some are natural products!
This is a WONDERFUL opportunity to get some of your favorite brands at a reduced price, and perhaps try out a new brand that you've been wanting to!

Each month, there will be different WAHM products, thus the stealthy "ninja" surprise :)




This month (October), there are a few different WAHM's contributing to the NinjaBox, including Baby Snickerdoodles!

Wanna see what comes in these boxes?? Me too!!
