We have officially begun cloth diapering!
Initially, we had so many disposables gifted to us, that we decided to hold off cloth diapering until little E was a bit older. Then, as the disposables ran out, I started to get a bit fearful...cloth diapering seems like such a commitment, and I wasn't sure I was ready to take the plunge.
So I decided we'd start just part time - on days that I was home with her all day, and not traveling.
And then I caught it - the disease known as CDO...Cloth Diaper Obsession. The bright little thing start to get into your brain! I'm not sure I can describe it...you'll just have to take my word for it.
Right now we are using BumGenius AIO snaps, Fuzzibunz Elite Pockets, and a few other that I got gently used from another mom. I just ordered three new AIOs (all-in-ones...just means you don't have to stuff it with an insert or use a cover) called Diaper Rites. They have pretty great reviews and are much less expensive than their BumGenius counterparts. So we'll see how they perform once they come in the mail.
I LOVE getting stuff in the mail!
Maybe because as a new mom of an almost 3 month old, I don't get out very much - but there's something absolutely thrilling about getting a package dropped off at your front door. :D
A couple weeks back I "went shopping" at OldNavy.com and got myself a couple new shirts, a coat, a skirt and a scarf...and saved over $25 with promo codes and coupons...not to mention the 30% off sale they were having. THEN I got $30 in Old Navy Cash...which means I get to go shopping again this weekend. This time for some pants. :) I decided I will NOT be a frumpy mom.
Another thing I've been into lately is finding deals on hip2save.com...a FANTASTIC site for great deals. Collin, the woman who runs the site and finds the great deals, must be a genius.
For instance, I got cute personalized address stickers, gift tags, and Christmas cards shipped here for less than $2! Good deals are exciting. :)
In other news, I'm now dairy-free. Little E has had a stuffy nose since she was about 4 weeks old, along with being pretty gassy. Some green mucous-y poop (I know, TMI) convinced me she has a sensitivity to milk products, and since I'm the source of her diet, I must now give up dairy.
I hope Evelyn feels the love...I hold many dairy products dear to my heart, and it hurts a little to give them up. But if it makes my sweet pea feel better, then it's worth it.
I donated my old milk stash to someone who needed it for their kiddo...that part makes me feel pretty good. But I did get a lot of responses from moms who needed milk, and I felt bad that I couldn't help them all. :(
Well, I'm getting pretty stellar (bringing that word back) at typing with one hand. Lil' E is asleep in my other arm...I think I'll just stare at her for a while. :)
G'day!
