Oh My Goodness, We're Back Again

I know I've been missing for awhile, but there has been a lot going on int he word outside of Blogger-Land. I desperately miss blogging though, so plan to pick it up again as much as possible.

Aside from all the other stuff that has been happening, my son's potty learning has been going wonderfully! We never have potty accidents anymore! Once we learned that he preferred to pee standing up we had it! It was our Golden Ticket moment! We are not as successful at going poo in the potty yet, but that is not to say we're not trying REALLY HARD! He's only in diapers now for nap and night times and if we are going on a longer day trip where frequent stops at a potty aren't an option. I am optimistic that we'll be 100% out of diapers (except possibly nap and bed times) by the end of the Summer at the rate he is going.

No Diapers. Period.

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Halloween and is busy preparing for the upcoming holidays. I haven't had much fluff news lately. It's a busy time of year for us first of all, and then of course there is the very exciting potty news!

Fluff Friday @ The Cloth Diaper Whisperer

It is time for a new Fluff Friday over at The Cloth Diaper Whisperer! This one I am really interested in, because one of the Rump-a-Rooz new patterns has owls on it!!! I'm almost giddy!

I know that it has been forever, and I appreciate your patience as I neglect my blog a bit to take care of real world issues, but I am finally ready to post a winner in the FuzziBunz Changing Pad & Rocking Green Laundry Detergent Giveaway!

So Sorry

I am so sorry that I haven't been on lately. We were having some family issues and this week our dearest 16.5 year old cat, Shamrock, has been very ill. We think it might be her time soon. :0(  As I am sure everyone understands, family and real life comes first, but I did want to post an update so everyone isn't completely in the dark.

Scarce

I know that I have been scarce the last week or twp. I am very sorry for that. There is a lot going on outside of cyber-space right now. I am hoping to be back to my regular, blogging self in the next few days. Until then just know that I miss it, and could use some good vibes/prayers/wishes.

God Bless My Hubby

I have heard from other cloth diapering mamas that one of the hardest things for them is getting their husbands on board the fluff wagon. I even know of some women who have wanted to go cloth but didn't because they were unable to convince their hubbys to go with it. When I first decided that I wanted to go cloth, this was a worry of mine too. After all, it's hard enough to get them to change a diaper they can just toss sometimes. How would he react to changing a diaper with a little extra 'work" involved?

Pampers "Designer" Diapers

This past weekend I learned about something that really blows my mind. Apparently Pampers has teamed up with designer Cynthia Rowley to create "Designer Diapers" that will be sold at Target. (We don't shop at Target, so I never would have known about these if I hadn't stumbled across the article online.)

My Blog Is Carbon Neutral

Since becoming a parent I admit that I give more thought to the impact I am having on the world than I used to . After all, what was done to the planet previously is what I deal with today, and what I do to the planet in my life is what my son will deal with in the future. We try to bike or walk when we can, we have changed to cloth diapers, we recycle...it never occurred to me that my blog might be leaving a carbon footprint behind.

I Promise...GIveaway Soon!

I know that I have been promising a giveaway for awhile now, and I swear it is coming! I have the item in hand courtesy of Adriane at Mommy's Own! Unfortunately, we've had a series of unfortunate events in our household lately. First the power cord on my computer decided to break...actually snapped off right where it plugs in...so I had to wait for hubby to fix that. Then, for the last 4 days or so we've been under quarantine in the house because all three of us have come down with some kind of horrible stomach bug that has us either laying around miserable or in the bathroom.

I WON!

I can't believe it! I never win anything. Despite entering dozens of cloth diaper giveaways in the last few months, my win rate has been exactly zero. Until today!!! Today I found out that I won a Planet Wise Wet Bag from Melissa over at Home Grown Families!

A Fluffy Fourth

I certainly hope that everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! I know that we did.

I started off this weekend by getting my son some of his first name brand diapers...Fuzzi Bunz! I got both the Sure Fits and One Size to try out before I order more. I will end up doing a review to talk about them later. I could easily fill an entire blog talking about them, and I want to give them my full attention. All I'll say here is that they are so soft I wish that my undies were made out of that stuff!

Another Blogging Award!

What a week! I received another blogging award from my friend Danielle at We Don't Have It All Together! How exciting! As you know, this is a very new blog, and to already have two awards makes me feel like, to quote a past Oscar Winner, "You like me! You really like me!"

The New Bumgenius Giveaway @ The Cloth Diaper Report

The Cloth Diaper Report is doing a giveaway of the New 4.0 BumGenius One Size Pocket diaper! The new BumGenius diapers are new and improved, with the options of both Velcro and snap closures, not to mention that there are new colors in the works as well!

A Patriotic Giveaway @ The Cloth Diaper Whisperer

Every Friday the folks over at The Cloth Diaper Whisperer do a Fluff Friday Giveaway! This week the giveaway is taking a patriotic twist as they offer three one size Fuzzi Bunz in watermelon, white, and blueberry! 

I love The Cloth Diaper Whisperer, and I love giveaways, but I don't know of many giveaways where you'd be getting not one, not two, but three cloth diapers! It's an amazing opportunity for the new cloth diapering mommy to try out some great diapers from a great brand, and for any cloth diapering mommy to expand her cloth collection!
