Moo Cow Momma's Reusable Paper Towels

this giveaway is now closed. thank you for participating.

Have you ever heard of Reusable Paper Towels? 

I had heard a few rumblings of such products & I was intrigued.  I made it my goal in 2010 to start reducing my carbon footprint in every way I could think of & reusable paper towels seemed to be something that could drastically help.  I am a paper towel junkie- really, I am.  I use paper towels for everything- as napkins, for cleaning the counters, a spill on the floor, B's face & hands, drying my hands, etc., etc., etc.  The list goes on & on & on.

I started looking around & found Moo Cow Momma on Etsy.  I was instantly drawn into her bright range of colors!

Here's Moo Cow Momma's description from Etsy:

Description

For a Limited time: Buy any two or more sets of reusable paper towels and they will come in an adorable ultra-lightweight cotton drawstring bag (as shown in the last picture, colors will vary), makes a great gift, produce bag...or even storage bag for your towels.


12 100% cotton flannel cloths in an awesome 12" x 10" size. Washes up with a soft brush at the edge. Super absorbent and beautiful too!


Use any way you would use a paper towel. They also make wonderfully soft face cloths, casual napkins...whatever suits you! Machine wash and tumble dry.


If you prefer these done in different colors. I can do that as well, just use this listing and convo me with your color scheme.


Check my store for tons more color combos!

 I received this set: 

I thought the colors were gorgeous, bright & cheery- perfect for the middle of January in Illinois!  Here they are in my kitchen: 

Since receiving these towels, I have only used 1 roll of actual paper towels! That's HUGE progress for me!  I won't allow myself to purchase paper towels in bulk, but I have purchased 2 individual rolls.  I use these bright towels for just about everything!  They've obviously really cut down on my paper towel consumption, which is right on parr with my goal.  I keep them in that little basket, right near my sink, so they're always close by.  I throw the dirty ones, along with bibs & other towels, into a hanging wetbag I have (leftover from cloth diapering- didn't work so well for dirty diapers, because it has a drawstring, not a zipper.  Perfect for dirty towels though!)


I love to use them for cleaning up B after meals, & I generally use just 1 per day- I rinse it out & let it dry between meals.  It's much softer than a conventional paper towel & B doesn't cringe when I'm coming at him.  I started tossing one into my daily tote bag & it's come in handy a few times! Last Sunday during a church class, the Hubs spilled his coffee on the table.  We looked around for napkins & didn't see any, so into my bag I went.  That's when I saw the bright orange reusable towel & inside, I cheered a little bit! Not only would I use this, I'd use in a public place! I rock, right? 


So... back to Moo Cow Momma- She's fantastic.  Her work is of great quality, her shipping is speedy & she's been so friendly & helpful.  She's got some other fabulous products that I hope to try out in the future.  I'm really excited to try the sandwich & snack bags!
