Birth fair

The annual birth fair is coming up in October and I am trying to get a head start. I have started to order some promo items and looking at inventory for the booth. It is such a great time. I love talking to people moms and dads about cloth. Plus I get to see lots of friends I don't get to see all the time. I have decided to get involved with planning of the fair this year and I am so glad I did. What a great bunch of people! I just don't understand why I am so drawn to all things birth. :)

Potty Training

It seems as though my 16 month old is wanting to sit on the potty more and more. She sees her sisters on there and wants to do it too. I indulge her with it and she goes through a whole routine. She takes the potty seat and puts it on the toilet. She lefts her arms signaling me that she is ready to be lifted onto the potty. She sits there for about 5 seconds (has not actual gone on there yet). Gets a small amount of tp and whips her parts LOL. Lifts her arms because she is ready for me to get her down. She goes to flush, I usually just say "that's ok" since she didn't do anything anyway. Then she puts the seat back on the hook and wants to wash her hands. Yes, it is very cute. I am just not ready to give up cloth. I know she is not even doing anything on the potty. This is just the another step toward her not being my baby anymore.

2 more days

Just 2 more days for the sale. I don't know when I will have another. I am trying to make enough so that I could get a stock of GroVia diapers. I really want to see the new design. I also need to start getting things in order for the birth fair that is coming up in October. I am planning to make some homemade things as well.

Thirsties officially here

I just finished adding the last Thirsties products onto the website. Wow, this one was a tough one! LOL I was having such a hard time with images staying on the site. I am so happy that they made it here in time for sale. Remember enter happyh10 for 10% off.

Hard time with site

OMG, I can't believe how long it is taking me to add the new Thirsties products. It took me 2 hours just to get the diaper covers added. I am just having problems inserting the images and it is driving me crazy. It is already 12:30am and I reall want to get them all on there. But at this rate it is going to take me the rest of the week LOL With the sale this week I wanted them to be on there.

Thirsties are here

I was super excited to see the UPS guy show up at my house today. My first Thiresties order is here. I will adding items asap. This weekend we are doing some reno's around the house so it looks like it may not be til Monday. I wish I could do it now but it takes some time to get all the info and pictures.

I have to say that I have never used their wipes and I can not believe how super soft they are. LOVE THEM!!

New water heater

We got a new water heater today, WOOHOO. I was really hoping for a tankless but I was out voted :(  That is ok though because so far this is really heating up and heating up fast. The bathroom sink use to take for ever to get hot water and I would have to wait awhile before I could wash my face. But today that sucker got hot fast!!

So ultimately all I can think of is "ooooo, my diapers sure are going to be clean" LOL

Thirsties are coming

I am so excited!!! I just placed my first order with Thirsties. They are on their way. I have saving my pennies for this order for months now. The selections will be small for now but I am hoping to carry the full line of Thirsties products.

Ecover report

So far so good. I have to say that I didn't even use a whole capfull but all seems well. I didn't really notice a difference in the softness feel. But as I said I didn't even use a capfull. I am using it for our towels and clothes. I am thinking I will use it again for my next wash and see about using a bit more.

Ecover fabric softener

I have seen on alot of posts on fsot boards that moms are using Ecover on their diapers. Can there really be a fabric softener that you can use on cloth diapers. I am so curious about this. I was at Whole Foods last night and thought I would pick some up. I was quite surprised at the price but bought it anyway. I am a rather frugal (to put it nicely, otherwise cheap) person. I tried it on my girls clothes first. I love the scent!! And now I have a full load of diapers so I am going to try it today. I am a bit nervious because I have no build up right now and things are absorbing very well. But seeing is how I have a few goodmama diapers that I have been using for night time diapers, I want to keep the as soft as possible. I will report back with an update on how it goes.

Velcro covers

So I have been using fitteds and covers for my cloth diapering these days. I have found that a fitted is so absorbant and I am getting less leaks because I always would forget to change a pocket often enough. However, the covers that I really like are the Happy Heiny's one size covers. These covers are a velcro cover like the bummis but seem to be alot easier to take off than the bummis. So when my little lady wakes up from a nap her cover is on one side of the crib and the bed is wet on the other side of the crib (where she was sleeping). I really like these covers because the PUL is so soft and comfy but I can't keep having that. I don't want to use the bummis because I just don't think they are nearly as soft. Not sure what I am going to do. I don't really want to get into the whole wool thing. They are so expensive and I don't want to have to deal with washing by hand. Do you all have any suggestions?
