Raising Saints & Martyrs

This morning my mind is reeling… I sent the girls to school without a second thought. I feel guilty about that. There is nothing wrong with me not giving school a second thought. There can’t b...

I have finally figured out my ideal diaper stash for Audrey. The research phase is officially completed! 1. Diapers: Graceful Rose gPants and one to three others in the right size and in girly colors. These will be easiest for travel. My 12 Sunbaby diapers I ordered (they are in NY as of last night...I am so eager...

So, a few months back I decided we should just make gifts for everyone this year. Why? Well, because if we did the regular gift exchange with a $20 (right, because $20 has ever bought anyone anything off their wishlist) limit it would still cost us over $100 (with taxes and shipping) to participate. I spent a ton last...

Ugh, I was SO.STINKING.SICK. this week. I ended up at Urgent Care, they transferred me to the ER...they tried to admit me, but I knew they wouldn't figure out a diagnosis so it wasn't worth being away from home again (three years ago this happened also...) I woke up a few days ago and was vomiting and my heart was racing....

So yesterday morning I decided realized I needed to wash the diaper liners.  Badly.  I was down to three.  THREE.  That isn't a lot in the world of pooping four month old babies.  So I got them, rinsed them in cold water (in my machine...it isn't 1965 and I refuse to do them by hand).  Then...

So, I know...day three just began.  I think the GDiapers are wonderful, I love them and they are crazy easy to use, if you ask me.  However, I have seen a lot of reviews and such that state that they are not so simple and are just a bit confusing to other moms. Now, that being said, I know a lot of cloth diapering...

Oh boy...well things went so very well today.  That it, until I learned that I needed at least 10 to 15 more inserts as well as more pockets.  I also took a closer look at the diapers Audrey was wearing and learned that they were a size too large!  Now it is like starting.all.over and I may blow a gasket...

So today marks the first ever day of cloth diapering for our family.  The boy isn't all too thrilled, but hey, if it saves money and some space in a land fill, why not, right? We are beginning our journey with Gdiapers.  They are SO cute!  Just ridiculous cute!  Before choosing to start with these...

I want to cloth diaper.  Seriously.  It has become so important to me that it is now officially an obsession.  I am actually concerned that if I don't do it, I might lose my mind completely. Frank doesn't love the idea, sure...ok, ok, ok, he hates the idea.  But, it isn't stopping me from bothering...
