Alright, so one way to save money…big time….is switching to cloth diapers. Yes, now! It’s fantastic. Apparently there’s a lot of women that cloth diaper around here and as kids are getting older and potty trained, mom’s are selling their used diapers. What a great alternative to buying full price diapers (which can get expensive). So I now have a good stash that will hopefully last me a while. Here are a few \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\nI have bought 16 diapers. Now here comes the money-saving part….I spent $72 on them!!!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nPLUS, this diaper pail cover (blue sticking out the trash can) came with the diapers. More money saving right here.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nI’m going full force with this cloth diaper situation so why not cloth wipes?! Well, Diaperhq has a deal on cloth wipes right now so I got buy 1 get 1 50% off!! 20 wipes for $13.50. Amazing! So how much have I invested into this scheme? $72 for diapers and pail insert, $10 for trash can, $14 (with tax and no charge for shipping) for wipes, and $13 for a HUGE thing of detergent safe for cloth diapers\/wipes. That’s $109!!!!!! Wow. That’s amazing to me. I thought this venture might be hundreds or thousands of dollars. Nope. This is really going to save us money, and we’ll make it up fast. <\/div>\n

\nSo I’ve invested this money…the question is…success or fail to switch? Well, today was the first day and it was a SUCCESS. Abby did fine with them. I did have 2 that leaked on the sides but I looked up possible problems and tried something different. I snapped a couple of the snaps to make the diaper more snug on her and no more leaking! She even had a big poop before bed and zero leaking. I didn’t even know she had pooped until I was taking it off. Praise the Lord! And it really wasn’t bad to rinse it off. I have to go outside at the moment and use the hose but it’s not like there are that many poopy diapers from her at this age. <\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nSo money saving project #1 seems to be going well so far! I am super excited about all this…ask my husband \ud83d\ude42 And here’s a picture of my angel at the doctor. She carried along Minnie (Mimi is what she says) and her baby doll. I love her. Honestly, she looks cute in these diapers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
