Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is Isaac's first Thanksgiving! I'm ever so thankful for being his Mommy!

However, I'm at work....bummer. But I would rather be here today than miss out on Christmas morning so that is trade off. Also, it has given me a chance to plan my attack for shopping tomorrow. My day is going to start very early......trying to make it to our local Sears by 4am to get the new smart TV that we (ok, me) has our eyes on. I have also had time to take advantage of some on-line sales today.

I did get to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family last weekend at Grammy's house. Can't have a holiday though without someone being sick....just glad it wasn't any of my kids this time!

Cloth Diapers...for 3.5 months!

Here is a run down on the diapers we are using with Isaac:

This is a One-Sized Fuzzibunz Pocket diaper. The microfiber insert is "stuffed" into the pocket in the diaper. When soiled, the entire diaper must be changed.

This an All-in-2 diaper. It is a diaper made by a fellow mom - aka "WAHM" diaper. With this type of diaper, if only the snap in insert is soiled, then a new insert is just snapped back in. The cover can be used several times.

This style is the closest to the old fashioned fold and pin cloth diapers. This is a prefold and a water proof cover. I either lay the prefold in the diaper or secure it with a snappie (no safety pins these days). I have recently found the prefold love. If I were a stay at home mom and the only one diapering Isaac, this would be my primary diaper system. I prefer it because I don't have to stuff pockets!
