Oh how i've missed you dear cloth diapers.



Yes , its true,...I have a full blown love relationship with cloth diapers. If you've never been down that road it's hard to explain but here is how I fell onto this road. While pg with my 5th child I started researching them, and by the time I was pregnant with my 6th child (just 16 months later lol) I realized I wanted to give it a shot.

It officially began when I went for my post partum check up after #6 and held a brand new fuzzi bunz that my midwife had in her office. I instantly fell in love and realized that nothing would ever been good enough to put on my babies bums except this gorgeous soft piece of fluff i was holding in my greedy little hands.

Don't get me wrong, i've had my time (or two) going back to sposies, even though I totally despise them....the smell, the paper-ness of them in general, the look, the chemicals that I KNOW are lurking deep inside them, etc. However each time I do is purely out of necessity versus wanting. the last 6 months have been a huge example of that. In the midst of the house hunt/house loss/laundry room redo and only having 1 W/D set, well lets just say that I had no other choice than to stop using them exclusively for a time (and for awhile wasn't using them at all).

However as of this week I am happy to report that outside of the random sposie my teenager or dh manages to sneak in LOL, we are now back in our fluff full time, yay!! :)

Here is a pic of Scarlett in the cutest scrappy skirty made by my dear friend Holly of handmadebymama. Holly makes the CUTEST stuff, Scarlett only wears her wollies lol and from you pic you can see why (as if she could get any cuter?! LOL).

In the meantime, provided my PC cooperates I'll probably have some pics of the new room and the kitchen (in progress) here in the next day or so :) I spoke with a really good financial advisor today about our sitch and he agreed with what we have known this whole time as well so it looks like God's going to have to pull a big one out to solve our housing issue lol. I know he can do it, I just hope I remain faithful waiting on him in the process.

In the meantime I'm trying really hard not to spend any $ on the goodmama cuteness (my fav's! <3 ). I did buy 1 new one this week, mainly because there was a FB contest to name said diaper and I suggested a name and the name I suggested got choosen, too cool! I had to have it after that rofl! ;)

Nana Bubbie has a special request: Could Scarlett please come with Momma to bring her big sisters to Troy's wedding. Nana realizes she can't go back to Iowa, but Nana just needs to give her hugs ASAP! Darling pictures. Looks like she's really stretching out!
