cloth diapers

i did it.  i finally ordered the rest of my cloth diapers and accessories.  i was dreading it.  there's such a huge up-front cost to all this and of course, the penny pincher in me spent hours calculating the best prices at tons of on-line stores.  because some stores had some of my things but not all, i ended up ordering from 2.  jilliansdrawers and abby's lane.  i wanted to use a local gal i just met, but she didn't have a lot of the stuff i wanted.  bummer.  

i ordered just over an hour ago and abby's lane has already called to say that 3 of my diapers were on back order...which sucks, but i just put the order in a little over an hour ago!  now that's what i call great service!

i'm still confused with the laundry detergent debate.  i ordered allen's natural powdered detergent, but i wish that bum genius would just come out and say 'buy this',  instead they say only use detergent that's free of yadda yadda yadda...well there's a lot of detergent out there that's free of stuff that some people think blogs up diapers.  so what's the best.  some think this one and others that one...some even use tide...which i know isn't the best for the environment, so i don't know.  guess we'll just try out the allen's.

but yea!  another thing crossed off my list.  diapers, wipes, detergent and liners are now done!  i went with kissaluv's, bum genius and pre-fold diapers... a little something of everything. kinda...

tomorrow it's a 'stock up' day at target.  i'm trying to get all things in order before kix decides to grace our lives. and i have to stop at lorann oils to get some citrus, lavender and calendula oils for deodorant discs for the diaper pail and wipe solution.  

busy...busy...

did i say that i just made rhubarb cake tonight too!!  maybe the nesting has hit a bit!

I love Allens detergent. I use it for all of our laundry. I found that I do not need the full scoop that is recommended, only about half or a little less. It worked well for me when I had little ones in cloth diapers as well!

I actually use Meijer brand Naturals Free & Sensitive - it works great and Hazel's skin responds well. I never tried Allen's (mostly because I'm cheap) - and I haven't found my diapers to be affected by it at all.
I love browsing cloth diaper websites - it's weird, I know... but I'm almost bummed that I don't really need any more diapers! :)

I am now the new advertiser for Crunchy Clean...just kidding but I should be! I just did a post on the best laundry detergent ever. It's made by a WAHM which is another reason I love it.
