Fall Fun in our FuzziBunz!


Going Green!

So I have dabbled in the cloth diapering here and there for the last 6 months...but I have gone full time cloth in the last 2 months! I love it! I have to wash clothes all day everyday...so it is nothing extra or painstaking for me to wash diapers! It's no different that the disposable....except that it saves us $160 a month, better for the boys' bums, and won't sit in a landfill for the next 80 yrs! Brad isn't completely on board...he hasn't figured out that he really doesn't have to do anything with most of the diapers except throw them in the washing machine.. and other than that he can just leave it for me...I will do the spraying-if its needed! I also in the last few weeks have made our own laundry detergent for 10 cents a load! Oh yes I did! I made several snack and sandwhich bags that are reusable using a vinyl shower curtain and some fabric remnants that I had...so plastic/throw away is no more! I am also making my own wipe solution and wiping with nice hemp washies! The boys think its so fun and so do I! I still have much more I need to get done to consider myself completely green...but I think we've done well to start with! If you're interested in the whole cloth diaper deal and think I must be insane... it is the year 2010 and modern cloth diapers are not what you think! They are amazing, easy, and adorable! Check out all the products over at kellyscloset.com. I always order from them. They have the best customer service, are extremely helpful whether you order or not as to greener aspects of life, and unbelievably fast processing and shipping...and if you spend $50 its free anyway! Love Kellyscloset and the diapershops gang! Pics of the boys in their cloth dipes to come!

Try Again

Well, I have decided to try to get my blog going again! My two boys keep me on my toes and blogging got put to the wayside....however I am ready to give it another go! Cole is now 2 1/2 and Cooper is 9 months! We have alot of fun all day long! We have recently moved back to our home state of South Carolina. While we are much closer to family...we are still in a new place and getting used to a new life! Base life here is much different and I never thought I would say it, but I definitly took some Nebraska ideals for granted... amazing pumpkin patches, decent malls, zoo, sports, free child development centers, target, and a large base with lots of family functions. We are working with Cole on potty training although it is very slow going. Cooper is starting to edge his way along the furniture walking....so I dont think it will be too long til he is chasing his big brother around the house!
