I haven’t done so well on the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt this time. I haven’t really had much time to hunt. The point of the GCDH is to meet and get familiar with WAHM shoppes though and that I have done. I have found so many lovely sites that I will be ordering from.

I just got done browsing 90210 Organics and I am in love with the products they offer! Everything organic that you can imagine!

I also like Bullfrogs and Butterflies Boutique for all things personalized. I might have to get my girls some personalized books. I remember how great the feeling was when I had books with my name in them as a child.

Celtic Cloths is another great shop. You can find patterns for different things to sew (wetbags, slings, etc) and great tips on how to Care for your cloth diapers too. Look at the beautiful fabrics!

Fishnoodles has a great stock of diapers and covers too. And I just found another GCDH icon there! Thanks, Fishnoodles. That was fun

Ooh, and another icon found at Green Sprout Baby! They have the cutest prints available!!

Ok, well.. I guess I should get back to the hunt. Perhaps I will find more icons

I was looking at Green Baby Bargains and saw this Eco-kit that I want! What an awesome kit and at a great price too! Only $17.50.

By the way.. how many stores do you know that sell you a gift certificate for less than face value? None before now. Green Baby Bargains is offering a $20 gift certificate for $15!! What a great way to save money while getting me a gift certificate for Christmas! lol.

My favorite cloth diapers are Thirsties Fab Fitted. I have been so happy cloth diapering! The diapers are cute and absorbent, I don’t have to worry about constantly buying packages of diapers, and I am doing something to save the planet. I used to think that cloth diapering was something I could never get into, but now I can’t believe I didn’t start sooner with my older children!

Look at how cute these diapers are!

They are so soft and fuzzy. I can’t imagine using a disposable diaper again!

I don’t buy disposable baby wipes any longer either. I use washable, organic cloths to clean my baby’s bottom. Kissaluvs Organic Wipes are soft, absorbent and hand sewn of a dye free mix of Certfied Organic Cotton and natural Hemp material.

It has been one busy week! I can’t believe I haven’t posted in here in that long! I was in training for another skill at work last week and had no access to a computer – which was torture. It’s also “finals” time at school so I have been very busy with getting things under control in that department. And finally, I had to take time out to enjoy the midnight showing of New Moon with my sister and niece the other night. We had a blast! and the movie was great too.

So, I have a giveaway coming up… stay tuned.. I willl be posting it later today or tomorrow!

Wanted to pass this tidbit of information along – if you become a fan of Babies R Us on Facebook, you instantly get a $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase – available for online shopping only. What better time to save so much than during the holidays? You better believe I took advantage of that coupon! Have fun shopping, mamas!

Elizabeth is eight months, 9 days old today and this evening is the first time I attempted to give her solids. She is EBF so technically she doesn’t need any solids until 1 year of age. I was going to wait until Thanksgiving dinner, but she kept reaching for my dinner so I got out a little bit of unsweetened apple sauce and gave her a bite. She did not like it at all! She made the funniest face. I wish I had taken a picture. She was perfectly happy to wash that taste away by nursing for a few minutes. I guess we’ll try something different on Thanksgiving. Nana is going to make her a sweet potato – cooked and mashed – so we shall see how she responds to that.

I am going to support all of the WAHM’s when purchasing holiday gifts this year! Other than when shopping for my kids, that is. I don’t think they would appreciate homemade toys as much as store bought, but I will have to see what’s available. I am surfing Etsy right now and already have great gift ideas for several people! I will also be checking out all of the WAHM threads on this site.

Oh, and if you’re planning on doing the same thing, please don’t forget about my wonderful mother-in-law.. she is on Etsy too and has beautiful hand-painted items for sale. She is just starting her own website too! It’s not totally up and running, but it’s a start.

I thought I was addicted to babywearing, but my addiction to cloth diapering is even greater. I am constantly looking for good deals on diapers and covers and longies and soakers. I’ve managed to clock about 2 hours surfing Etsy today (while supposed to be working) looking at different styles of longies – fleece pants that are warm for baby and also repel diaper leaks. Are these not the cutest pair of longies you’ve ever seen? And look at this fleece diaper cover! and this one too! I am smitten.

Remember the post I put on here the other day about receiving the Macaroni Grill and Wanchai Ferry sample meals and ten coupons? Well, the dinners are delicious! My whole family loved them and I will definitely be using my coupons to purchase more. So I thought I would share the coupons with my readers – Print your own coupons for Macaroni Grill and Wanchai Ferry meals by General Mills.
