Flats Challenge Day 4 Sponsored by Diapers Etc.

Kristen here and so far day 4 has been my best day!  Wanna know my secret?  I finally found a fold that worked for me.  See, all the other folds made me feel like a first grader trying to do Algebra.  I used the Diaperbag Style fold.  You can watch a video of it here.   I get this fold.  I like this fold.  To make it even better, I had a wonderful sponsor today....Diapers etc.   Diapers Etc. sent me a cover by one of my favorite brands!  Imse Vimse.

Diapers Etc. has a great selection of diapers and diaper covers.  The cover I received fit our little man perfectly!  I tried to get a picture of my first successful folding, but he was not real cooperative!

Buy it! You can find all your cloth diapering needs at Diapers Etc. You can also connect with Diapers Etc. here or on Twitter.

Flats Challenge Day 3 Sponsored by Bummis

Kristen here and I am happy to say we are surviving the Flats and Handwashing Challenge!  Day 3 of this challenge was generously sponsored by Bummis!

Our little man tends to run on the skinny side and the Bummis diaper fit him perfectly, plus I am love, love, loving the cool  Rocket print!

I am kind of saving up all my thoughts on using flats til the very end of the challenge and am focusing on the various products right now.  So far the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap Diaper Cover has been our favorite!  It kept the Professor (and his crib) dry and held is some big poops too.  Plus, it just plain fun to look at!  My only wish….snaps.  I am  snaps lover, but if all covers fit, and worked, as well as the Bummis, then I could go back to Aplix!
Thanks you Bummis for making Day 3 so delightful!

Flats Challenge Day 1 Sponsored by Babee Green

Hi!  Call me crazy if you want, but I decided to join up with Dirty Diaper Laundry and participate in the Flats and Handwashing Challenge.  The main goal?  Use nothing buts flats and covers to diaper your baby and also handwash them.  The why?  To show that cloth diapering can be affordable to all families.  It typically costs about $60 to use flats and covers on your baby from birth-potty training.  I believe that is about the price of 2 boxes of disposable diapers.  What would you do with all that extra money???
Anyways, today was the first day and I woke up with butterflies in my tummy.  But I was excited about trying out our new cover that came to us courtesy of Babee Greens.  Here is the photos of my very first attempt at flat folding.

We did it!!! I was quite proud of myself and I think that PUL cover from Babee Greens looks adorable on him!  I love that pale yellow color.
Buy it!  Visit Babee Greens to buy a PUL cover like ours!  You can also find Babee Greens here and can find their blog here.

Weekend Fun

We finally enjoyed a respite from the constant rain.  We all got out and enjoyed it!

Mommy is Young

My husband said I simply must record this conversation with the Hippie:
(This took place as she was brushing my hair)
H - Mommy, your hair is beautiful.  It is brown and blondish and lightish.
M - Yeah, the lightish is because Mommy is getting gray hair.
H - Oh no Mommy.  It is just blondish because you are not elderly at all you are YOUNG!


Kids are just so cute...especially our kids.  LOL!
