My hair

What happened to the gorgeous hair I had? All of the great vitamins made my hair gorgeous while I was pregnant, but it's stressful to see that beautiful hair lose it's luster and fullness.

Ahhh well....the body is coming back at least.

SposaEasy really are easy!

After I decided I wanted to cloth diaper our baby, I had to figure out how my hubby would feel about it. We hadn't talked about it and I know he was scared about being a new Dad, so I didn't want to add any more worry to his list of worries (sleep schedule, bills, child care, keeping the baby alive, etc.) I didn't know how my hubby would feel about cloth diapering so I knew I had to find something that was easy as disposable diapers.

Then I found SposaEasy Diapers. They are an All in One (AIO) meaning you don't need a cover and they are made really well. So I bought twelve of them to get us started. Weeks before the baby was born, I introduced the diaper to Daddy and he loved it. He thought it was economical and he saw how environmentally friendly they were. After feeling the diaper, he felt like it was even better than a plastic disposable. And that's how easy it was to get Daddy onboard!

SposaEasy boasts a total of 6 layers: 4 layers of quality 100% cotton terry and 2 layers of 100% cotton flannel smartly sewn so that it has a good amount of absorbency yet is trim and not bulky.

I was very pleased with this purchase and how strong they are.

Bum Genius 3.0 - WOW

I ordered a few cloth diapers to see what they feel like and how they work. When I got the Bum Genius 3.0 Diapers, I have to say that I was very surprised and delighted at how well they are made.


Look at the inside - it's so soft and plush!



I look forward to getting a few of the new Bum Genius 3.0 Spring Colors.

I am a new Mom who just started researching cloth diapers one day. That's when the obsession started! Which are the best cloth diapers for a newborn baby? Which are the best cloth diapers for the environment? Which are the best cloth diapers at night? And then it became which are the best and cutest?

I never planned to use cloth diapers, but once I started researching it was the only thing that made sense. At first, I thought cloth diapering would be more work and gross, but I have been very happy with my choice. Besides being good for the earth, I know what natural products are on my child and cloth diapers are suppose to cause less diaper rash.

I didn't start out as a Green and Crunchy Mom, but I became one as I became a Mom. I don't want to be part of the problem, I want to be part of the solution. I want my child to know that we are global citizens in the world and we need to do our part.

Getting Started

I am a new Mom and I'm home from work taking care of our new baby. We are using cloth diapers and since I didn't know anyone who used cloth diapers when I started, I thought I would make a blog to chart our usage and what future purchases we make to build the stash.

I don't know how much I will update as I am new too this and having a baby is a lot more work than it looks like. So wear with me and come along for the ride. And please offer advice, I don't have any older women in my family to offer any.

Happy Valentine's Day!
