Which Diapers To Put On Baby Registry? Snug & Dry Diapers with a NEW SureFit* Design!

Diapers, Diapers, Diapers!

When I was pregnant with my first baby, I remember creating a baby registry and having no earthly clue of which brand of diapers to include on my list. 
 

Baby number two, and thousands of diapers later, literally, I feel as though I'm a bit of an expert on the topic. 

An expert on motherhood? No.

An expert on diapers? Yes.


Speaking from experience, the only name you need to add to that registry is HUGGIES. 



I have tried all the major brands, the cheap ones...the expensive ones, and have continuously returned to Huggies as my brand of choice.

Honestly, I have been approached by numerous diaper brands.  All requesting that I review their diapers on my blog, but figured I should stand up for the brand that has actually been in my diaper caddy for the past two years. 

 
If you didn't already guess, it's Huggies. 

I was excited to hear that they recently updated their Snug & Dry Diapers with a NEW SureFit* Design and wanted me to give them and their Natural Care Wipes with NEW Triple Clean Layers a test run on my little munchkin.



I'm not gonna lie, getting a diaper on this one (no matter what brand) is not an easy task. She's a major squirmer compared to her older sister. But once I got the diaper on, she was on her way to sitting, squatting, crawling.

So, far this SnutFit* waistband means no leaks for Baby O.!


Yes, even with yoga moves like this, she stayed dry and so did my carpet!



Look at those chunky legs!  I'm happy to report that with all the ups and downs (she's learning to walk), Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers have held up their bargain of offering up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

Also, their Natural Care Wipes with NEW Triple Clean Layers worked like magic on cleaning up the tough diaper messes. I found myself using these wipes on my coffee table and to clean up little household spills as well. Hey, if it works......right?



Hey, if I'm not scared to have her sit on my lap like this, that must mean something is working, right?

Well, at the end of the day, I'm still sold on Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers. No leaks, no rash, no nonsense. 


Plus, it makes her smile like.............well.............THIS!


 

FUN FACT

I'm not the only one Huggies sent some diapers to for some major baby testing. Huggies, recently sent their Snug & Dry Diapers with the NEW SureFit* Design to hundreds of parents in Round Rock, Texas to be the official Huggies "Test Town" - after boasting an almost unnatural baby boom as of late. 

You've got to watch this video. It's great:
 





Questions is:


Are you ready for up to 12 hours of leakage protection? Or, as I like to think of it...up to 12 hours of super awesome, damp-free cuddle time

Executive Women's Day at HP Byron Nelson PGA Tour - May 14

If I don't respond to your comments today, it's because I'm hanging out at the HP Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, TX!

I had no idea what the HP Byron Nelson Championship was until a few short months ago when the PGA invited me to Astellas Executive Women's Day at Four Seasons Resort on the PGA tour. 

The Executive Women's Day is an exciting new opportunity offered at many of the PGA tour stops where local executive women will experience a day of networking, as well as personal and professional development. 

I'm quite excited about the "behind the scenes" tour and hope to learn more about the game of golf itself. I'd love to have my little girls learn the game of golf at a young age, as well.

Here's what I'm in for:

Schedule of Events

  • 8:30a - 10:15a  Power Breakfast & Panel Discussion
  • 10:30a - 12:30p  HP Byron Nelson Championship - Behind the Scenes Tour
  • 12:45p  -2:00p  Keynote Luncheon - Keynote Speaker, Molly Fletcher
  • 2:30p - 4:30p  Wine Down Network Up


I'm so excited.....I hope I can sleep tonight!


Have you ever played golf, as a woman? I'm excited to hear what you think about it!

Winner of the Mother's Day $50 Target Gift Card Contest!

And the winner of the Mother's Day Target Gift Card Contest is..............................

Drumroll, please.

Entry Number 4! 



For those of you who didn't read the nomination, it's a true story of a perseverance and the strength of a mother who knows how to fight for and care for her family:



My mother is an amazing woman! She has 7 kids and She has experienced so many trials in her life but continues to stay strong for the rest of us! She lost her oldest son in a tragic car accident when he was in his early 20s and continued to stay strong when my father was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. She decided to take a leave from work to stay home and take care of him when he got really sick because she knew that it would be much more comfortable for him. She cared for him 24/7, there were many nights when she would get no sleep but would keep going. She kept a positive attitude as hard as life got for her! She spent every moment she could with him until my father passed a year ago from this last February. 

During those hard last months I saw how much they loved and cared for each other, whether it was smile they gave each other, holding each others hands or my mom kissing my father on the forehead it was such a blessing for me to witness this because I now know what true love is! 

I appreciate my mom being so selfless and giving up her life for my father and all of her kids! She continues to help us each get through this terrible tragedy everyday. She has her good and bad days and has been trying to find a job for the past 9 months since she got laid off after my dad passed away and she has lost a ton of confidence! 

I would love to surprise her with this gift card, she could use something happy and positive in her life! She is loving, kind, selfless, patient, and gives so much to all of us each day! and I would love to give her this!

I am so grateful she is my mother!


Nominated by: Amy P.
 


Thank you to all the loving people who nominated their mothers or friends - and Congratulations to Amy P.'s mother, who will be receiving a $50 Gift Card to Target as her prize!
