It kind of reminds me of &lt;i&gt;101 Dalmatians&lt;/i&gt; (a favorite childhood movie!), but I suppose the prints could just as easily belong to cats. ;-) Do any of you have pets? We live in an apartment right now, so we&#39;re currently petless, but one these days, we hope to have a small menagerie. Meanwhile, I&#39;d love to hear about yours!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mamadscloset.blogspot.com/feeds/2969644224957716430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mamadscloset.blogspot.com/2012/05/little-something-for-pet-lovers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1797889315596075241/posts/default/2969644224957716430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1797889315596075241/posts/default/2969644224957716430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mamadscloset.blogspot.com/2012/05/little-something-for-pet-lovers.html' title='A little something for the pet lovers...'/><author><name>Maria D. @ DownrightDomesticity</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08455425847355266585</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-JizOvnusb9zeeoW2lyViHIT4lTnH93-5O2oGlx37e-1zu2m30V1VK_lI6OBDiCWDQYNay-vC05eHrYfmZ7zGa9wSgXRvL_K7yhbsE1MQbo4vN2k5UP_WNRU7Pj5Q6c/s220/SANY0480.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYAiPXpYvWjtgSRQnVibv7LanVvZeHVs2XrsoPFUFlscNNNyUT2b6Vu9aePe7DDVzhi8VxzPEYSKTE3zi9Ar-GJ4uMosqMYov5I9Uv-V2Ws9JARFdncgqE3pSzgcpvL20yuH2P3ItXSWo/s72-c/IMG_0283b.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797889315596075241.post-5897124448616619553</id><published>2012-04-02T10:31:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-03T11:49:13.055-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Earth Day"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Giveaways"/><title type='text'>Earth Month Giveaway! Week 1</title><content type='html'>Oh, you guys, I am so excited about this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
April 22 marks Earth Day, the holiday that reminds us all to be a little greener. Well, what could be more green than using cloth feminine pads? One of my favorite aspects about cloth pads, and the feature that started me on the cloth journey in the first place, is that they significantly cut down on trash. Did you know that an average woman will use &lt;a href=&quot;http://facts.randomhistory.com/random-facts-about-menstruation.html&quot;&gt;over 10,000&lt;/a&gt; disposable pads or tampons in her lifetime? Whoa!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, in celebration of Earth Day and because I love giveaways so much, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop/MamaDsCloset&quot;&gt;Mama D&#39;s Closet&lt;/a&gt; is going to be hosting a giveaway!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This week&#39;s giveaway is... a 3-pack of MiniPads!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_UfscjO7U9vIXJthIfgozUL9pF_y_M4Xfh6iUTw7gsQL6c65kDGYU3xDRxB57YQlRzp2Gy_4kX_CtBNSsX99RPCa2-MNlqJe7n168LROOuezx_d3lM8PM9OpqLYh4HyCSZwcftITdbUI/s1600/SANY1797b.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_UfscjO7U9vIXJthIfgozUL9pF_y_M4Xfh6iUTw7gsQL6c65kDGYU3xDRxB57YQlRzp2Gy_4kX_CtBNSsX99RPCa2-MNlqJe7n168LROOuezx_d3lM8PM9OpqLYh4HyCSZwcftITdbUI/s400/SANY1797b.jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MiniPads are heavy-duty panty liners specially designed by me. Since they offer a little more absorbency than most panty liners while having very little bulk, they are just perfect for pairing with a menstrual cup, or wearing by themselves on lighter flow days!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The prize is very similar to the&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/listing/94063786/minipad-3-pack-cloth-menstrual-pads&quot;&gt; 3-pack offered in my Etsy store&lt;/a&gt;, except I will be choosing three mystery prints to send to the winner-- they will include special prints and color combinations that haven&#39;t been released to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop/MamaDsCloset&quot;&gt;Mama D&#39;s Closet&lt;/a&gt; shop yet!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This giveaway ends this Sunday-- but be sure to come back for more giveaways in the future!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open to the U.S. only.&lt;br /&gt;
