Making the World Cuter: Somebody Stop ME!

A blog where one woman is on a mission to make the world cuter, one kid, cupcake or crafty thing at a time.

Somebody Stop ME!

Do you know how when little kids see other kids do something, they see if they can do it too? I have the same problem.
I read blogs and see crafty things, and I have to go right out and see if I can recreate it, but better, or at least more fitting to my tastes.
Well it seems like lately everywhere I look, I see mama's who are using cloth diapers.
I know!
Somebody tell me that I don't have to do everything that these supermom's do!
Well like I said,
I have a problem.
Porter is now in cloth diapers.
It's humorous to a point...the puffiness coming out of his shirts, the wrestling him down long enough to put one on him, the comments Chad makes as he tries to wrangle the baby and take care of the diaper afterwards.
But really...it hasn't been bad for me, I was a little apprehensive at first, but the past 3 days have been fine.
The reasons for me to do this, obviously weren't just to say "If they can do it, I can too", but it didn't help...
The real reason was money.
Of course it's laughable to say we are short on money.
We are the definition of starving students at the moment.
This will save us money...a lot of money actually, so to me it just seemed like a great time to give it a try.
The only problem is the selection we have here in Klamath Falls. It consists of what I can find at Wal-Mart.
I ordered a couple things on-line, but everything is sooo expensive, so unfortuately he will have to wear these until we can get some of the better, cuter options they have out there.I do have a chance to win some of the better, cuter stuff here on simplemom.net, who had a whole week dedicated to cloth diapering. If anyone else is considering the change, I suggest you read the articles there-they answered all my questions and convinced me to at least give it a try!

Alston is in cloth diapers too! If we are going out for the day or out of town to visit family, we still use the disposable ones though. We are using fuzzi bunz. I think that's how you spell it. We really like it though. I'm amazed at how well they clean up. Taylor calls Alston Bubble butt when he wares them. Pretty funny!

Whoa. That's huge. I'd rather give up toilet paper and use a leaf than give up diapers. I love the picture of him up on his tippy toes.

You are awesome!! I bought all the materials to make Michael some diapers/training pants MONTHS ago, and I still haven't gotten around to it. I finally resorted to using the prefolds we had bought for burp cloths! I still want to make him some....

I was totally thinking of writing a post on cloth diapers. They are way easier than everyone thinks they are. (Though trying to put them on a squirmy baby is a challenge--I think the all-in-ones would be better for that).
