Review & Giveaway: Franklin Goose *CLOSED*
Congrats to Alena! I hope you have fun shopping!! I’ll forward your info to the company & you should hear from them soon! Thanks everyone for entering!
I recycle.
I compost.
I cloth/compost diaper.
I use reusable wipes.
I make my own organic baby food when needed.
I rarely drive a car and only fill up once a month usually.
It’s funny since I am probably the most unlikely candidate to do ANY of these things. Ask my friends. I won’t get into politics or even the environment. But, let’s just say that being a parent definitely changed me in that respect.
While it is perfectly OK for me to go to Taco Bell for myself when I am too lazy to cook- I’d never offer Taco Bell to Hudson. (ok, except the rouge cinnamon twist. They are practically air)
And while I can drink out of any old cup- the kids use glass everything when possible or at least 100% BPA free plastic when glass isn’t an option.
And while Hudson owns MANY plastic toys- I much prefer the beauty & healthfulness of a classic wooden toy (or felt, wool, etc). No noises. No batteries. Just imagination.
So when Franklin Goose contacted me & I had a look around their site I was STOKED. The have a baby safe promise which I LOVE. I love being able to fill my cart up on their site & be confident that we are getting products that fit our parenting style. They are HEAVY on the cloth diapering which is great! I had a field day in that section!! They are also happy to share information on why cloth diapering is a better choice for both baby AND the environment. Check out their Pro/Con list! They are a GREAT resource in regards to cloth diapering. I think if you are on the fence about making the switch- this site & their rich information coupled with their ADORABLE and functional cloth diapering products could probably sway you.
I am pretty much in love with this site. I have a mind-cart going.. and these items? ARE DEFINITELY IN KIDS FUTURE!
HOW FREAKING ADORABLE IS THIS DIAPER COVER?!?!
And this one?? I am dying!
And promise not to totally flip out looking at this next item:
GAHHH! Sawyer NEEDS this dollhouse. NEEDS.
They carry some of my favorite brands such as Plan Toys & Green Toys. And they have a very reasonable price on the Thirsties Duo diaper cover which is what we use in our house right now.
Basically- I have a new favorite internet shop for all my eco-friendly baby needs. Run- don’t walk to go check out the site. And feel free to do a bit of shopping while you are there!
Anddddd: Luckily! Franklin Goose is offering one lucky Emmie Bee reader a $25.00 gift certificate for the site!!

The Plan Toys Sorting Train. So cute!
Hmm, so many choices. Maybe the training pants? I'm still scrolling through the toys though, so I may change my mind.
Holy cow what a sweet website. So many neat toys. I think I'd have to go with the green recycling truck.
its pretty hard to pick. i love thw ooden treehouse set and the morgan cycle red bird tricycle…sooo cute!!!
i have been wanting to try the whole cloth diaper thing too. they seem so much more comfy along with a million other reasons. so this would be a good start. i also LOVE the Smart Gear Wonderworld Ride-On Fire Engine!!!
Yes, kids change you whether you like it or not. And I'm officially disgusting ass Mama. MJ has had quesadillas from the bellllllllllll.
I would use it towards this: http://www.franklingoose.com/products/Rearz-Eco-K...
because I SO want to try CD it just seems so expensive to start. I wish I would have just done it from the beginning. I'm hoping to CD with baby number 2. It seems so much easier now days then it did way back when.
Stacking toys!
Oh wow their website seriously rocks. I don't cloth diaper but we LOVE wooden toys. I would totally get the Plan Toys swimming seal walker thingy or the Green toys recycling truck. Now I'm off to send this site to my preggo friend who has yet to set up a registry!
I want to try the Bumstoppers WAHM diapers! They're saying it's their favorite and they're super cute!!
Ohhh those Plan Toys Baking Utensils are To.Die.For. Pick meeeee!
That is an awesome site! I've already sent the link to my girlfriends! I would want to try the Little Sapling Toys Maple Teethers.
OMG, LOVE!!!!
I would get another FuzziBunz diaper – LOVE them. & a diaper pail liner.
i love this website! cute clothes, cute toys, and my favorite thing i found ….Maple Shade Kids Eco Friendly Hoot & Child Owls Shelf.
awesome! your cinnamon twist comment made me laugh. Love everything there but I'd have to go with what the others are saying and start off with some cloth diaper supplies. we've been hoping to start but it's hard to come up with the money to do so!
I really love the green toys stacker and the plan toys baby car. They would be perfect for Abigail!
I'd totally get that tree diaper cover! SO FREAKIN CUTE!
Great site! Thanks for sharing! I would get the Fairy Skirt or Rainbow Wings for my daughter, who is almost 2 1/2 and loves fairies. Cheers!
I love the Woodpecker Wooden Walker. Well I loved all of their stuff…but Ryann would love a push toy.
I so want the train for Nolan lol!
This might be boring of me, but I would love some of the divided plates and snack ball. I could shop at this site forever
I would probably buy a few more prefolds. I only have a few and I think I prefer prefolds over my pockets sometimes.
I would probably use the money to buy cloth diapers. I didn't do it with my last one, but am hoping to try it out with the baby on the way. =)
A pair of their socks b/c they are SO adorable but I want to wait until my sister finds out the sex of her kid!
Definitely some wooden toys!! Love em!
i guess winning the GC would change my mind about Huggies
Just checked the website out! I love it, I have a few friends who are expecting, and not only am I going to grab a couple things for their packages I am sending around the country, but I love that I can one day buy for myself. I love everything on that website but by far the cutest thing that made me smile is the Imagiplay Earthworm in Red!! It's so cute, and has a smile face! Thanks so much, I didn't even know it existed!
I'd buy some type of cloth diaper. They have so many I'm not sure what kind yet.
I like this: http://www.franklingoose.com/products/Uncle-Goose...

Bubbette NEEDS the pushalong wooden duck. Seriously.
I would get my son the Green Toys Recycling Truck!
