Back on the Boat....

                OK, must get rolling again! I've had a lot of good intentions this year with blogging and yet I haven't made the time to get it done! I'm sure you can relate, after all, you're probably a mom too. Or maybe you are soon to be! That brings me to this post actually. I have a few friends I'm talking with about starting cloth diapers.            
                One already has a baby, one is pregnant and one isn't even ready for babies yet! That is so exciting for me! I'm all alone on an island with cloth diapers over here! But, I can see a boat in the distance and I'm about to be rescued from my lonely island!
I absolutely love cloth and wish I could convince everyone to make the switch! Of course, it is better for the environment and the wallet but really, it's just so fun! There are so many choices for colors, type, size, you name it you can find it in the cloth diaper world! But, it can be overwhelming at first. I know, I was there. I subscribed to about 5 different cloth diaper blogs and 3 different Facebook groups and not to mention the hours I spent searching Kelly's Closet and Real Diaper Association. You can get sucked in fast. And get confused fast.
                  I jut had this same chat with two of my friends. Both are overwhelmed with the information you can find on cloth. I was, too, I get it. After spending a countless amount of time online I finally decided to just buy some things. I started with shopping a major online retailer (and I wish I hadn't...I missed out on the rewards points from Kelly's Closet) I bought a few CHEAP prefolds, a few waterproof covers, a snappi (the contraption that replaces pins), an All-in-one and two fitted diapers and I got started. I learned what I liked and what I didn't like. Maybe you have no idea what any of that meant but I encourage you to continue to follow me as I very simply explain cloth diapers over my next few posts. You will be so glad you did!
