building your stash: the lingo

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! So I talked a bit about cloth diapering as inexpensively as possible. You can build a pretty good stash including accessories for $200 or less. For a lot of moms, that’s enough. But, there are many different types of diapers out there, each with their own pros and cons. It can be confusing, so I’ll try to explain…

Savannah update

I still need to write Savannah’s 12 month letter! I just didn’t have time in the midst of everything else going on. She has started scootching around on her bum, and is getting quite efficient!

Today is Savannah’s first birthday party. My parents came up on…

toy story 3 and leverage

For our anniversary, some wonderful people watched Savannah for the evening while Paul and I got a chance to see a movie! Movies are one thing that are just hard to do with a baby.

I guess I do remember…
