Here I go!

The further I go into my adventures of being a mommy to my little man the more I want to make sure his environment is safe.  This leads me down the path of making my life more green.  Some may even say I am crunchy.  I say I am doing what is right for my family and me if that makes me green; bring it!  If that makes me crunchy; crunch away!  This will be my adventures on the way to being the green momma that I am becoming.

I decided to cloth diaper before Mr. Man was here.  I had seen someone talking about their diapers on Facebook.  Which in return made me do some research.  I found out how much money I could save...Money was the big factor at this point.  Later on down the road I thought about the pros for the environment. I liked the thought of not having Mr. Man suffer with as many rashes and the idea of him potty training faster was a plus!  Now I needed to make my decision on what to pick for my first diaper.  GULP!  There are so many out there!  What's a girl suppose to do?!?!  Did I mention I was on bed rest for 10 weeks?  No?  Well I had time to kill and a laptop by my side. My poor husband got to hear my new discoveries every single night.  To say the least he wasn't as excited.  But he was a good sport about it and supported my idea to cloth diaper.  Hey it was to save money.   During those weeks I developed my obsession.  CLOTH!  I decided to go the route of covers and prefolds.  I placed my order with excitement and nervousness.  I ordered 24 prefolds 6 Thirsties duo wrap covers 2 snappis and some cloth diaper safe detergent. My package arrived about a week later.  Oh the excitement to receive a package!  I prepped them how the site had said now it was time to wait for Mr. Man to make his arrival.

Never having cloth diapered before I gave in and used some disposables in the beginning (I swore I was only going to cloth diaper).  We all survived... I even give in now and then and use them to this day.  I have yet to figure out night diapering.  I plan on trying my hand at making a wool cover (more on that adventure later).  My goal is to eventually get rid of disposables.  There were bumps in the road on our adventure but hey it's an adventure there are suppose to be bumps and even hills to deal with so off we go!
