Ladybugz Slings ‘n’ Things

“Helping Moms Bond With Their Babies… One Sling At A Time!”

Ladybugz Slings ‘n’ Things is owned by a mother of 3. Shannon tried every sling imaginable until she finally made her own in 2008, after being surprised with a strong-willed newborn with reflux. She needed to be carried constantly! Since there were none to be found locally, Shannon decided to make her own ring sling. Ladybugz Slings has grown since that day, to be a business that cares about their customers and is trying to help bring moms and babies closer together. Ladybugz Slings are so easy to adjust and keep baby tight and close! They can be worn up to 35lbs and are very easy to master. Great for breastfeeding too! Custom orders? No problem. We are here to make sure that you get a sling that works for you and that you are happy with.

Snug Glee Bumz Diaper Service began during the summer of 2010 when husband and wife team Jason and Dawnica Flatt wanted to offer another choice for cloth to the Kamloops area. They enjoyed the benefits that they were experiencing with using cloth on their son and so Snug Glee Bumz Diaper Service was born. They are very proud to say that they have eliminated over 30 000 diapers so far from the Kamloops landfill and recently hosted the Great Cloth Diaper Change – a Guiness World record breaking event for most diaper changes worldwide.

They offer two great starter packs that has everything needed to use the service. They pick up the soiled weekly and replace them with fresh clean diapers for a low weekly price. Visit their webpage to see what customers are saying and to start service today.  They also offer some great products including some great nursing products.
