Many things happen in November: Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, NanoWriMo.. but the event I am excited about this November is the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt sponsored by Diaper Decisions! The Great Cloth Diaper Hunt will officially start at 11:00 A.M. EST on Nov. 1, 2009 and will end at midnight EST on Nov. 30, 2009.
By visiting the sites on the hunt during the month of November 2009, you have an opportunity to explore a myriad of excellent natural family sites as you qualify for 35 random prize drawings, including One Ultimate Grand Prize worth over $600 and a Daily Prize for each day of hunting! The concept behind our virtual scavenger hunt is to introduce consumers to the wonderful WAHMs that are “out there”, and many new products!
To be eligible for prizes you must visit participating sites between Nov. 1, 2009 and Nov. 30, 2009. At each site you must find the Diaper Decisions diaper hidden on the site, click on it, go to the Verification Page and enter your e-mail address. This is sent automatically to the prize database. The following image is what you will be looking for.
I just signed up for this! It sounds like a lot of fun. I’m so glad a girl on my babywearing board mentioned it!

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed about school at the moment. I have so much to do over the next few weeks! I have a literary research paper to write for my Literature class – including a prospectus and a bibliogrpahy page which are both due on November 8th. I have to choose my subject this week and we just got the directions today. I also have a concept paper due in my Child Psychology class 1 week from today. This is in addition to the normal course work I have to complete for the week. I feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack! It’s not so easy to fit this stuff in between work and family. I’m sure it will be fine and I will get it all done, but I may need a valium before it’s all over (kidding, of course).

Elizabeth is almost 8 months old so we decided to put her in her own bedroom. This is going to be an adjustment for all people involved. I’m used to just getting her out of crib in the middle of the night to nurse her and either falling back asleep with her in bed with me or putting her back in her crib (which was right next to me). I’m hoping that everyone will get more sleep this way and my husband and I will have our bedroom back. Wish me luck…

Being a breastfeeding mom I have read all about different supplements to increase milk supply – from Fenugreek alone to a mixture of different herbs served in liquid or pill form, such as More Milk Plus. I was looking around to see what the prices are on things like this because my cycle returned earlier this month and I’ve heard that milk supply can take a dip during that time of the month. I first looked at Motherlove.com because that is the brand name of the MMP drops. Well, let me tell you it was expensive just for the 2 ounce bottle! So I proceeded to look around and came across Lucky Vitamin. I was happy to see that their prices are a great deal more competitive. I ordered a 2 ounce bottle of More Milk Special Plus to try out. I’ll post a review of how well it works after I’ve tried it. =) If you’re looking for supplements for an increase in milk supply or simply for vitamins, Lucky is the way to go.
