Diaper Bag & Burp cloths
Handmade fabric diaper bag, features 3 pockets & Magnetic snap. Burp cloths, flannel backed.
Natasha Blanco, owner of CAB Co. Handbags was a pleasure to work with. Fantastic customer service with wonderful communication was hard to beat. Our package arrived around the date as promised, even though it was several weeks prior to my cousin’s baby shower.
The bag was extremely classy, featuring green and white checkered bottom and handles. The top half was a nice pattern of a green trees. I felt this bag was perfect for my down to earth cousin.
The gift was well received, and she especially like the plaid. Also, the design and colors were very neutral, making it a perfect gift for those who don’t know what they are expecting. It also features 3 pockets and a magnetic snap, making it easy to open when holding a little one. Plenty of space in the bag also makes it great for those packing items for a newborn.
Inside the diaper bag was also burp cloths in the same green and white checkered print. Each were flannel backed and very soft.
Overall this made for a nice gift for someone with a new baby. You can never have too many diaper bags, and having one so nice is definitely a plus.

If you are looking for a lotion that’s not only natural, but has a great scent, this is the site for you.
It was my pleasure to try Cherry Almond Hand Lotion from The Natural Newborn. A little goes a long way, and this lotion has a wonderful scent. Several other scents are available, but I was impressed with the Cherry Almond. What impressed me the most is how it’s made with all natural ingredients. The only preservative it contains is paraben-free.
Since being able to try this item, I’ve used it almost every day for my hands and other dry areas. It works like a charm, and I don’t have to worry about unsafe chemicals. I know it’s safe to use on even my youngest child.
The Natural Newborn specializes in natural baby products. However, they have an excellent line of products for toddlers and moms as well. Their natural lotion is currently listed under “Mommy’s Mini Spa” as well as under “Toddler Tub”.
“Mommy’s Mini Spa” features items made just for mom, such as lotions, skin care products, bath items, and more. “Toddler Tub” features items such as hand soaps, skin & body care, bug repellents, and other items for toddlers or older children.

Sometimes we just want to show off our kid’s artwork to the world. Well, or at least every family member and friend. My Little Rembrandt has found a way to do just that.
I was impressed at how quickly Lisa, owner of My Little Rembrandt, worked on my project. I was first instructed to scan or mail a copy of art or by one of my children. Since my son has more artwork than my daughter, I went with a project she did with Easter eggs last spring and emailed a scanned copy off to her. Within the day she had a proof ready for me to view, and once approved the cards were shipped the next day. (I was sent a confirmation the items shipped.) The post office took longer than she did getting these cards to me!
Tuesday afternoon we went to the post office to pick up our small package, and I was thrilled. My daughter (age 3 now, 2 when the art was done) had made professional looking cards! All packed up nicely in a cute gift bag, ready to give as a gift or to use for myself. The picture looks fantastic even scanned, and helpful tips posted on Lisa’s website for nice looking pictures came in handy. Printed on the back of the card in small print says “Easter Egg Artwork by Jillian, age 2, 2005″. Perfect! I think we’ll be using these as Thank You cards all year around since it’s such a nice picture on the front.
I was given the unique opportunity to also view other examples of notecards My Little Rembrandt. Some examples sent to me included:
- Holiday Greetings
- Thank you card
- Party Invitation
All of course designed by children, making them extra special. Every design was so clear, it was almost like the children had colored directly on the card itself! But it was, in fact, a scanned copy. Absolutely wonderful!
Also included in our gift bag aside from Jillian’s 10 cards were 11 envelopes. An extra one included “just in case”. A very small detail that can mean so much - very thoughtful! A set of 10 cards only costs $7.50, which is amazing for the amount of personalized detail put into them. Shipping is the same cost for clear up to 50 cards (5 sets), costing only $4.95. Over 50 cards and the shipping is free.
As mentioned before, I was most impressed with how quickly this project was done. While proof time and shipping times may vary, it was less than a week from the time I started working with Lisa until the cards were received. Should I need a project done quickly for a baby shower, party, or any other short-notice event, I know she wouldn’t take any time at all to complete it for me.
Lisa’s inspiration for this business came from her 6 children - ages 18 years to 15 months. These cards would be perfect for Valentine’s Day, Holidays, Thank You’s, Party Invitations, or just every day notecards. Forms of payment accepted are check or invoice via PayPal, although credit or debt card may be used without the need for a PayPal account.
Highly Recommended!

Kids Bath Paint Set
Available in a set of two, these colorful, scented, gooey bath paints will make kids excited about bath time again!
Our package from independent consultant Sharon Smith arrived quickly and safely. Knowing the package was for them, the kids couldn’t wait to get it open. After seeing that it was something for the bath, both begged to take their baths right then. One was not happy since he had to wait until the next night to get his chance to play.
Included in the package was a bath paint set. Yellow was the scent of Banana, and blue was the scent of Blueberry. They had so much fun with these paints! I was expecting more of a paint-like substance, but the kids were thrilled it had the consistency of “goo”. Two brushes were included for each color, although it washes off the brushes super easy.
We also found out they make for a fun bubble bath when the paint is washed off in the bath water. The water itself even turns blue or green (depending on what’s been used), so that was fun for a 3 and 5 yr old, too. My concern was since it colored the water it was going to stain my tub, but this wasn’t the case. No scrubbing required on my part - everything washed up just like regular soap. No film, no stains, no mess!
As will most bubble bath products, I do not recommend long periods of play time in the tub. Keep an eye on the clock and don’t let them sit in the soapy water for too long. Preservatives are included (liquid products can’t be without preservatives), so there is a risk if used for too long and too often. Save these bath paints for special occasions and keep watch of the kids.
Over all this product is recommended since my little ones loved it so much. More information on all the kid’s bath products and other items Country Bunny offers can be found at: www.cbunnyrep.com/5845
