The biggest question I get about using cloth diapers is how I wash them. How do I handle washing out dirty diapers. I have to say that I was really worried about this part, but I figured if so many other people were doing it, so could I! It couldn’t possibly be that bad, right? Because I switched to cloth after my daughter was 14 months old, I got lucky. I only clean poppy diapers about once a day, sometimes every other day. I know that by the time my next kid comes around, things will be a bit different with a newborn. But...
During this two week cloth diapering event, I am planning on reviewing some of the diapers in my stash. Earlier this week, I talked about a Gro-Via all-in-one diaper, today I’ll be talking about another all-in-one. This one is called a Bumkins Diaper. I actually purchased this diaper myself and was not compensated for this review in any way. I bought this diaper as my first all-in-one diaper. I bought it from my local children’s boutique store. I picked this one because it’s so stinking cute and it was the cheapest all-in-one...
One of the hardest things a lot of women who wish to cloth diaper have to go through is convincing their significant other that cloth diapering is a good thing. Here’s the thing. Cloth diapering is NOT a good thing for everybody. For instance, if you don’t have a washer and dryer in your home, DON’T DO IT! Seriously. Unless you are super dedicated and planning on going to the laundry mat 3-5 times a week &/or washing your diapers by hand, don’t do it. It is okay to use disposable diapers. They are an amazing...
Hey all! Welcome to week two of the new Lovely Ladies Linky! Last week’s party was a HUGE success! I had such a great time looking through everyone’s links. This week’s party is sure to be a huge hit, too. My personal favorites from last week’s party were (click the picture to see the blog post): And the most clicked link was: If you were featured, be sure to grab a button from the sidebar to display on your blog! & be sure to check the other party hosts, because each host features different...
During this little cloth diaper series, I am planning on reviewing a few of the diapers I have in my stash. This first review is a diaper that I received for free, for review purposes. Some of the diapers I am reviewing are ones that I purchased. I’ll be reviewing a few different types of diapers. My stash consists of all in ones, pocket diapers, and prefolds with covers. An all-in-one diaper is the easiest type of diaper to use, but it can also be the most expensive. It works just like a disposable diaper. When it’s...
My little girl just turned one in May. Ever since her older brother was born, I toyed with the idea of using cloth diapers. They are so stinking (pun intended) cute, and I had heard tell of how they can save you a couple thousand dollars during the diapering years, plus the whole they-are-good-for-the-environment thing. But, I never actually did it. My first was in disposable diapers for his entire diapering career. When my little girl was born, my first was still in diapers and just barely over a year old, so cloth diapering seemed...
Today I just wanted to share a SUPER simple {and cheap} Project that will keep your toddler busy for hours {okay, maybe not HOURS but at least one hour, for sure}. When our little family first moved to Florida, we moved into a two bedroom apartment. Which was just the right size for our family of three. But moving a one year old across the country when he is used to having tons of cousins and a yard was a hard thing to adjust to. Plus, Florida is HOT. We moved in August which is about as hot as hot can be! So, we were stuck inside a little...
Okay, this review is something I cannot WAIT to share. Have you heard of Citrus Lane Care Packages? They are boxes you sign up to receive monthly for your child. You might be thinking “Oh, that sounds nice, but all kids are so different, how could they possibly know what my child would like every month?” Well my friend. THEY DO! First they let you choose a plan. Basically how much you want to spend, and how big a package you want to recieve monthly. Then, they have you tell your child’s age and gender {if you so desire!} Simple...
I am so in love with dafont.com. There are so many awesome fonts to choose from. I have found a few that I use ALL. THE. TIME. These are not your typical fonts. They are extremely well designed and all the fonts I’m sharing with you today are actually by the same person. Her name is Kimberly Geswein. You can find her website here. I just wanted to show you some of her awesome fonts. They are all free for personal use (awesome!) Skinny Love Only Hope Somebody That I Used To Know Sweet N Sassy Ways To Say Goodbye Strawberry...
Guess what guys! It turns out that starting a link party on my own was more work than I wanted to take on. So! I was super excited when I got the chance to join up with what used to be known as Two Girls and a Party. Since there are now SIX girls with the party, the name has been changed to Lovely Ladies Linky. Each Tuesday, at midnight Eastern time, the party will go live and you’ll have until Sunday at 11 pm Eastern time to link up your favorite projects. At the next link party, each blogger will feature their three favorite links...
