Diapers
Ah, the happy land of cloth diapers. I never thought I would visit such a place. In fact, the first week I met my friend Jessica I told her that disposable diapers were just part of the carbon foot print I would leave on the earth. Little did I know that after hanging out with her for a few months she would silently convince me that cloth diapers were doable. And you know what? I am happy to say that after 2 months in cloth, we are still alive! My washer and dryer are not gross and poopy. And I have survived swishing poopy diapers around in the toilet. Who knew?
Goose and Dot sport these sassy all-in-one diapers from the Rita's Rump Pocket pattern all day. I still do disposables at night, but these beauties are great. I really do dig on the cloth now--even if it means a few more loads of laundry.
Am I happy to not be adding my diapers to all the others at the landfill? Yes. But I more immediately enjoy that we have TONS less trash to take to the dump (we're down to about 1 bag per week, sometimes less!), after the initial investment we are saving quite a bit of money (especially with 2 still in diapers), and these diapers are just plain cute! Look at those cushy buns!
