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.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...
