building your stash: what to get

building your stash: what to get

Previously I talked about cloth diapering on a budget, and also about the different types of cloth diapers out there. If you’re just starting out, you might be overwhelmed at all the options and information. Every mom’s preferences are different, and every kid is different. Talking to other cloth-diapering moms will help you get an idea of what type of diaper to buy. If you don’t know anyone else personally, then I highly recommend finding a forum (like diaperswappers.com) where…

building your stash: the lingo

Cloth-diapering moms love to talk about their stash. Seriously, it’s a bit ridiculous how long I could have a conversation about diapers!

I’m still here

I’m alive. I didn’t intend to take a blogging break. I’ve been very busy this month! I finished Savannah’s scrapbook – it looks wonderful; I’m really pleased with how it turned out. We took a road trip up to Pennsylvania to see our friend Melissa who lives in Asia. We had a wonderful time with her, and we also got to see Jes on the way back to Atlanta. Today is Savannah’s first birthday party. My parents came up on…
