Kawaii Baby One-Size Snap Closure Pocket {Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique} Review


Today I have a review for you on the Kawaii Baby One Size Pocket diaper from Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique.

Working with Sweetbottoms was a great experience.  The first sample they sent me got lost in the mail and they quickly reshipped a new diaper out to me, Customer service was fast and helpful!  I definitely would work with them again and refer others to them.

Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique carries a wide variety of products, mainly featuring cloth diapers but also including baby carriers, Natural Toys, things for momma, for the home and a bunch more!  I'm going to tell you about my experience with the Kawaii Baby diaper I received.

Kawaii Baby One Size Snap Closure Pocket Diaper Features:
  • 3 rows of snaps on the outer layer transform the diaper to fit size small, medium, and large (approximately 8 - 36lbs). 
  • Includes TWO highly absorbent microfiber inserts. Use one for day and two for night! 
  • Cover made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) laminated fabric, which is highly water-resistant, breathable, and extremely durable. 
  • Inner layer is made from a super soft microfleece, which wicks moisture away from baby's skin. 
  • Snap closure. 
  • New Ultra-Soft Squared Tab diapers are extra soft inside and out! 
  • Every cloth diaper we sell is covered by our Fix & Fasten Guarantee℠.

The Kawaii Baby diaper is so super soft and I love the light green color that I got.  The color is perfect for both boys and girls.  The snaps are very strong.  The fabric is very durable and has held up really well through many washings.  I haven't had any leaks using this diaper.  This diaper has a wide range of fitted sizes and has worked great for my 11 month old baby for the last 5 months and for my 2 year old. It works great for day time and night time.

Kawaii Baby diapers aren't very pricy at $9.55 for 1-2, $9.20 for 3-5 of $8.80 for 6 or more diapers.  They come in a wide variety of colors but no prints.

More Ways To Earn Through Swagbucks


I've written about SwagBucks here before but I wanted to share some new ways I've been earning even more SwagBucks lately! :)

Shop & Earn

I don't know how long Swag bucks has been doing Shop & Earn but I'm new to it and it really is great!  To use Shop & Earn you just have to click on the "Shop Now" button on your search browser (it will be similar to the button below).  Start shopping and you will receive 2 Swag Bucks per dollar, some cases you'll actually earn much more than just 2 for $1 :).  Right now I have over 2000 pending Swag Bucks (they take from 2-30 days to post to your account) from ordering through Shop & Earn.  It's easy and fast! :)


Mobile TV

This is only good if you have a smart phone (though you can watch the Swag TV on the internet but I find it slows the internet down too much to do anything else - and my husband has to use the internet during the day so it's not a good choice for me...).  You download the Swag TV app onto your phone, at this time I only know of a Android and iPhone app, but there might be others too.  You can just have your phone sit on the charger during the day (or night) and let the Swag TV play away.  You'll earn 2 Swag Bucks for 5 movies watched.  You can earn up to 50 Swag Bucks a day this way.   This would only take 9 days to earn a $5.00 Amazon.com gift card.

Swagbucks Tool Bar

Having the Swag Bucks Tool bar installed on my browser makes checking for Swag codes so much faster and easier.  You can also just start using Swag Bucks to search the internet right there conveniently.



Mega SwagBucks Friday

I think I've mentioned this before but making sure to search using Swag Bucks on Fridays is really helpful in earning more Swag Bucks.  Friday you are more likely to earn higher amounts of points with your searches!

Search & Win

If you haven't already signed up for a Swag Bucks account I'd highly recommend it.  I have earned over $60 in gift cards since I've signed up and for a long while I wasn't even trying very hard to earn or used it much.  When you sign up you'll get 30 Swag Bucks just for the sign up.  Be sure to give out your referral link as you'll get matched Swag Bucks for each search your referral earns up to 1000. :)

Free Menu Planning Printable!

After searching online and not finding any menu planners that I really liked I decided to make my own.  I had been using this one but never used the shopping list portion and wanted to remove it for more room for my meals and notes.

Menu planning has saved my afternoons! Having an idea & plan of what we were going to eat, especially for dinner has been extremely helpful for me. Lately having plans for lunch has also proven quite helpful.  I haven't been sharing my menu plans lately but do hope to start doing so again soon. :)

If you want to use this planner I decided to try adding it to this post as a PDF download!!  This is something new I just learned how to do from this tutorial and I'm pretty excited about it! :)

As a gift to my readers I'm offering this pdf for FREE! :)

Click on this image to download your own copy.


I hope you enjoy it and if you have suggestions or questions please let me know in a comment! :)

Happy Menu Planning!

His Strength Keeps Me Going




I want to be real here, I'm just as human as the rest of us.  I have shortcomings, fears and weaknesses.  I have a hard time expressing myself in person but writing out my thoughts is much easier for me.  That's why I love to write, but fear can sometimes get the best of me even in writing.  But, I am real.


I'm just a learning wife and momma to 2 boys.  I don't have much skill or experience in being wife and momma but I love my man and my boys with everything in me, I try my best to care for them!


Everyday I spend hours caring and cleaning.  
My laundry is always getting behind and my dishes end up getting piled up too often.  


Dinner isn't always on time and sometimes it's just a fast meal made. : )

I'm always working on refining my schedule to make it more helpful for our family as things change so much with growing children.  First a newborn needs to be held and nursed often then they begin to roll, then crawl and then walk.


Some days I don't even touch my computer until nap time comes around and even sometimes that only lasts 15 minutes.


I'm just like you, in the early stages of Motherhood with little ones all around me. Barely keeping up with housekeeping but loving it.

You know how I make it through everyday?  The Lord grants me grace and strength when I'm weak and tired.  His loving arms carry me through this journey and looking to Him keeps my heart uplifted!

I want you to know that I am real.


P.S. - Sorry for how quiet it has been around here lately.  I had all sorts of plans but then I was struggling with managing my time well and then sickness hit our little family.  We seem to be at the end of it and hopefully life will resume it's normal self again (if there's such a thing as normal...).
