Where I've been...

Posted in Daily Life

Well, I've been a bit dried up and posted out. I kind of needed a little break and had to decide if I wanted to keep on with the blog or not. I got some feedback from some people very close to me that I sounded like I was being too hard on myself and I had to sit back and reflect what I wanted my blog to be about and I wondered if that was true. I am hard on myself but I've always felt it was for good reason. I don't know. I feel like there are just certain things I have to do well at or I have to do my best at and well, I often fail at even that.

 

Anyway, I'm back.

 

Guess what I did while I was away? We invested in some used cloth diapers and have completely switched over! It is so excited to be saving money on diapers and not throwing any more away. I only regret not starting this sooner. I can't imagine how many diapers we've thrown away.

 

I also got drafted to teach a preschool music/craft class at our homeschool co-op. I have nine 3 & 4 year-olds in there. Let me just say, it is a long 50 minutes :). It's hard to keep them all occupied. But I'm enjoying it and know it is only temporary.

You could have helped pay off the national debt with the value of all those diapers, but I am glad that you threw them all away. :-)

Oh I glad you are back. I was the same way. I had a blog for about a year and finally deleted it because I was so unhappy with it and my lack of good posts (whatever that means). So I missed it and I came back and signed up again and I am loving it this time around. I do not put pressure on myself about the blog, just have fun.
Be blessed,
Chasity

Hey mama!

How fun that you're teaching the co-op! That's so cool. :o) Praying for a fun and successful year!

I hear ya on being hard on yourself. I think it's not only a mom thing but a woman thing. I totally understand but am glad to see your posts, yay!

P.S. What kind of CDs are you guys using? We CD's Grace for the first 4 months of her life but then switched over because she was soooo teeny and I could never find anything tiny that wasn't so bulky...not to mention someone (husband) who had an aversion to changing cloth diapers, though bless him because he tried, LOL! I'm planning to CD our Libby during the day (not at night or when we go out of the house) and am thinking of FuzziBunz. I used mostly prefolds before with gdiaper covers as outer coverings (sans the gdiapers "system"...never used the pads or anything) and some others that it's been so long I can't remember anymore!

Oh wait, Bumgenius!

Hello from a fellow MOMYS. My kids loved the co-op that we were going to when we did it.

I also use cloth diapers on and off. I love saving the $$$ from using them.

God Bless! Pam
