Photo by Ben Fredericson I have been feeling a little under the weather this week, sorry for the lack of posting. I'm starting to feel better and hopefully this weekend will be a restful and relaxing one. I wanted to share this post with you, I wrote it back on July 17, 2008, when I first started this blog. It is so amazing for me to look back and see the journey that I have been on over the past 2-3 years. If you had told me 5 years ago that this would be the path that my life would take, … [Read more...]
How to Use Cloth Diapers in Your Daily Life
Whenever I tell someone I use cloth diapers I get lots of questions that could be used as reasons someone wouldn't want to cloth diaper - Don't they stink? How do you use a diaper pail? What do you do with the poop? How do you run errands or travel with them? How do you wash them? What about wipes? Now that we've covered the basics of cloth diapers, let's talk about the details - the reality of using cloth in our everyday lives. The Changing Table Let's start with the changing table - … [Read more...]
The Basics of Using Cloth Diapers
I have a confession to make. I have been avoiding writing about cloth diapers because I feel like a total faker. Yes, I do use cloth diapers, but... I also use disposables.

So, if you've thought of using cloth, but weren't sure you … [Read more...]
Taking off the Baby Weight
Please don't throw anything at me when I tell you this, but I weigh less now than I did before I got pregnant with Kaelyn, my first child, and definitely less than I did when I got pregnant with Brenden. Now that he is a year old and I can officially say that I’ve lost all of my baby weight and then some, I was thinking about what I’ve done over the past year, or changes that I made, that helped me to take the weight off without actually working very hard at it (I'm ducking and covering my … [Read more...]
Babywearing – 2nd Time Around- and Moby Wrap Review
I wrote my first babywearing post last August, not long after I started writing this blog, when Kaelyn was 10 months old. I wore her regularly from the time she was just a week or two old until she was about a year a and a half when my preggo belly was growing and she was getting a little heavy. I loved wearing Kaelyn and was excited to get to do it again with our new baby. As with most things, every baby is different and I have had a different experience this time around with wearing … [Read more...]
Becoming Green
Have you ever noticed how some things in life seem to have a snowball effect? You start doing one small thing, or make one small change in your life, and all of the sudden you've made a lot of big changes or your life is going in a different direction than you had planned. I never really intended to "go green". Honestly, I was not too concerned with global warming, and didn't really think that I could make that big of an impact anyway. I liked doing things the way that I did them, and I liked … [Read more...]
