Cloth Diapers Day 6

So we are on day six of our adventure back into the cloth diapers. We are actually doing pretty well. I went to two different diaper stores and was able to get a new wet bag that works great for at home when we are on the main level and for when we are out and in the diaper bag. It will hold about 10 to 15 diapers if need be. This is awesome because I use to have to carry two wet bags if we were out and about. 

I also got a new butt cream that is safe to use with cloth diapers and that is made locally which I love. I bought this for at night because his poor little butt was fire engine red when he woke up in the morning. We do use two diaper liners at night time but it still wasn't helping but this new cream is so I'm excited. That means no more disposals (until our cruise). 

We also got a swim diaper so that way we don't have to keep buying disposal for those as well. He will be using this a lot. With all the time we will spend at my parents house in the pool, the cruise and all the water that will be there, and plus Water World and other pools we will visit this summer. I'm excited to use it. Today will be the first day while we are at my nephews 8th birthday party.

We were also having problems with our wash cloths that we were using for wipes. They are the same ones we used before but now when we use them my monkey seems to be hurting. I bought 10 fleece cloths that are much better for his little tush. I also started using the washcloths my mom made for me too and they are much better.  

I'm excited to keep this adventure going and seeing the money that we are saving.

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
