June Special!

Ahhhh, June is finally here! We've been having cold and rainy weather, so hopefully June brings the sunshine and warm summer days.

Why Use Cloth Diapers?

When I told my friends I was going to be using cloth diapers on my son, they were perplexed. "That's a lot of work!" or "Ew, gross!!" Were the most common responses.

But I'm stubborn, and I had set my mind to it. I scoured the internet, learning everything there was to know about cloth diapers. What they're made of, how to wash them, what kinds were available. Slowly I learned the mysterious diaper jargon, along with abbreviations like AIO, PUL and FB. I placed my first order and waited excitedly for my first "fluffy mail". When my son was 2 weeks old, I had begun to get the hang of being a Mommy and I tried them.

Turns out, using cloth diapers wasn't a lot of work at all, and the gross factor isn't any worse than that of disposables. (I mean, you have to wipe that little bum no matter what it's pooped in, right?)

So, here are the reasons I love using my cloth diapers!

• No disposables in the landfill! (and no stinky disposables in the garbage can for a week until garbage day!)
  
• His little bum is covered in fleece, bamboo, or hemp and is covered in breathable fabric
  
• We have saved a ton of money
  
• They are so super cute!
• I don't worry about running out and having to run to the store for more. Ever.

How about you? Why do you love cloth diapers?

How Cute are These!

They're just so cute I think I need to go have myself a little girl :)

We Love Dimpleskins!

We got in our first Dimpleskins order and love their products! Bum Bum Balm is my favourite, it's cloth diaper safe, so no need to use liners on our cloth diapers when little James has a rash! And it smells so good!

We have a few of the gift sets too, with sample sizes of Sweet Cheeks, Bum Bum Balm, Cradle Me, and a tube of Baby Lip Balm in a cute little box. Perfect for a shower gift!
