Cloth?

I am thinking about trying cloth diapers. I have been going back and fourth with the idea of going cloth for a few months now. The thing that drew me to them was the cost. especially, since we are thinking about having another baby the savings can be as much as $1,000 with one baby and just goes up with ever child you use them on. Because they make them so well these days they supposedly can last through a few kids.

My kids only wear pampers which just happen to be the most expensive brand! I tried a cheaper brand and Noah now has a wicked rash that has spread to anywhere the diaper touches his skin, including the outside of the diaper!!! That got me thinking about the chemicals in the diaper that are giving him a rash and honestly I am NOT ok with those chemicals on his skin!

Cloth diapering obviously is a commitment not only time wise but the initial investment is usually $200-$300 so you can build up a good stash.

Does anyone have any advice on getting started, best place to buy, best brand to use? I would love to hear from you!

his name

hi all! i hope everyone had a great weekend. we did! it was wonderful, relaxing and fun. after a not so great week, sassy was sick, corey had meetings and commitments three evenings out of five and potty training the pup made for a hectic week. this week is already shaping up better, the sun is shining, the kids are (knock on wood) healthy and we are loving the puppy more and more very day.

so, what is his name? that was actually a difficult process but we all decided on a name together. these are some of the names sass was pulling for.

-big woody
-daisy sunflower
-sprinkles
-bubbles

if you know sass she is pretty stubborn and we almost had to cal the poor dog bubbles but then the lord had mercy on us and she said, "how about, charlie?"

we are so happy that he has a name we wont be embarrassed to scream from our back door.

so here he is, charlie.


happy monday!
