Diapers

So I think I have blogger envy. Is that wrong? I see how many hits other blogs get and the number comments, amazing! But, they have such great writers behind them I am not necessarily surprised. I have really enjoyed reading other blogs lately. I have had a LITTLE more free time and scoped out several blogs that I have never been able to look at. I had a lot of fun reading them and was actually having withdrawals this weekend as I was away from the computer.


Recently I ran across something that really changed my mind. I always thought I would never use "cloth type" diapers but I am thinking that they might be a great investment. Check out Tara’s site. It has great ideas. Since I have decided this is the way to go she has been really helpful and has given me several great tips on what I need to do! It also inspired me to do a little looking of my own.

I'm sure a lot of you know tons about this stuff but I am new to the whole baby thing so all of the following was incredibly helpful to me. I have found “make your own baby food recipes”, make your own baby wipes, and great information about cloth diapers in general. I would have never believed that someone could convince me to do this but reading her post made me look into it more. Check this one out. They have great information on how to “care” for the diapers too. Cost efficient, good for the environment, if used properly reduces/ eliminates diaper rash, etc. All around it sounds great to me! You can even make your own diapers if you want. Personally I don’t think this is for me, but it’s a neat site so I thought I would share.

We’ve also started using the HEB cloth grocery bags for our grocery stuff. Someone told me that lots of stores were going to do away with plastic bags so we decided while the bags were $1.00 we might try them. We have tried other places bags but the HEB ones are our favorite. I don’t know about stores getting rid of the plastic ones but we have really started to enjoy using the HEB bags. There easy to use, hold lots of stuff, and cut down on trips from the car to the house! I can’t say enough good things. You might have had to FORCE me to use those a year ago but I hate using the plastic bags now. I only get them when we are low on trash bags! Maybe I’m turning a bit granola’ie too but some things are just worth it I guess. The verdict is still out about the diapers…
