Archive for February, 2010A Great Mom ReviewThursday, February 18th, 2010A close friend and cloth diaperer of one (and soon to be two!) called me the other day asking my WHY I hadn’t told her she needed a diaper sprayer a year and a half ago when I helped her choose her newborn stash! I guess my asnwer should have been because I’m crazy, but the fact of the matter is that my daughter just wasn’t the super pooper that her son is. Her husband had actually just recently told her that the poop scraping and the dunking were really getting to him. I told her that she didn’t have to dunk but she insists that this poop is…well….you get the point. Anyway, with their second on the way and the prospect of having two under the age of two in cloth and all that poop was really daunting for him and he was thinking about switching to disposables <<gasp>>. Well diaper sprayer to the rescue. They got one, installed it in a jiffy and presto – one more family saved from disposable diapers. She tells me its her new best friend Just thought I would share, another happy cloth diaperer! Newborn DiaperingThursday, February 11th, 2010I get overwhelmed moms-and-dads-to-be in my store every day. I can always tell who they are with their far-off distance stares and bewildered confusion in this new world they have stepped into. The baby world. The diapering world. They are looking for the “best” diapering system for their new baby. I usually recommend starting with some infant prefolds, covers, and a few other styles they may be interested in before “committing” to one style or brand. The truth is if you are a fluff-addict-to-be you will be bored with one style or brand! You will want to try all of the different styles, prints, themes, etc. It gets a little crazy… So my two cents worth is to start slow, but get enough diapers to get you through a cycle to get started. We recommend 30-36 for a newborn, but if you are just trying it out, a dozen will work for trial purposes. You will soon find out what your diapering “style” is when your new bundle arrives! Spring Fever, Anyone else??Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I didn’t even want to say it, since here in New England we still have so much more winter. Most of the snow is gone from here (but is supposed to return tomorrow) and I was looking out my kitchen window this morning while making my coffee and at my gardens thinking….hmm, wonder if i could til that?? Laughable, huh? Speaking of plants though, I did buy some new seed trays and several packs of organic seeds, they went fast in the stores last year so I want to get them while the supplies are good. I was thinking about maybe turning some shelves into a growing area for seedlings and installing some grow lights on the undersides of them, something to keep myself busy until it gets a little warmer – 20’s is just not doing it for me! This is also about the time of year that I get a hankering to hang diapers out on the line! I don’t really have to worry about that this year but the thought did cross my mind earlier. I could picture them hanging there (in the freezing cold, probably frozen!) One of the downsides to having your last or in my case, only child finally start using the potty. Another downside that we discovered the other day while playing at in indoor play area, sliding down a really fast slide!! No padding….poor kid, she just kept rubbing her little bum each time she hit the bottom! Well, here is to hoping that spring comes soon and that we all don’t go stir crazy waiting for it |
