Wordless Wednesday

Ok, so I am certainly getting baby fever! And I have a whole 22 weeks to go...

Daddy was weighing Hadassah before our Midwife got here. He even got to catch for the first time. He said it was the most amazing experience he has ever had! Yes he also caught our last and will this one as well :-)

Lulu's Laundry soap

A few months ago I heard about Lulus Glamour Wash Laundry detergent. it was something I was interested in trying right away.I am always out to find the perfect cloth diaper laundry detergent.
 I received a 2lb bag of Lulus Glamour Wash (from The Happy Baby Company)safe for HE and in just 2lbs I can do 90 loads of laundry! Which usually lasts for 2-3 months, however we are a larger family so I am leaning more towards half that.
                                               (to cute, yes)
Lulu's Glamour Wash is Dye free,
No fillers
No enzymes or
optical brighteners
Phosphate free Great for sensitive skin
and it works Great!

I love that it has a very simple step by step washing instruction label, even special Cloth Diaper Prep instructions. Which is important, because most detergents do not have this and you just have to guess on how much to add for your fluff cycle.Lulu's Glamour Wash is a safe, environmentally friendly cloth diaper and laundry detergent that rinses out completely, leaving no residue behind. Which is also huge in cloth diapering. I mean if you aren't using the right detergent, your diapers will stink to high heaven and could very possibly start causing rashes.
    I know you may not be able to tell just how little this much Lulu's I have to add to my cloth diaper cycles, but let me assure it is not a lot. Especially considering I was doing a load this big!

I have been using Lulu's Glamour Wash for over a month now. I have used it on our regular laundry, as I have several who have extremely sensative skin.It has worked wonderfuly. Even more impressive still, is how well it is cleaning our fluff (cloth diapers). I would most certainly reccomend Lulu's Glamour Wash to anyone! You can purchase your own bag of Lulu's in the Fluff Glamour Wash for only $13.95  or  one very lucky reader has the oppertunity to WIN a bag of Lulu's Glamour Wash from the Happy Baby Company, which by the way carries more than just Lulu's. They carry everything from clothing to carriers.
