Love Lives Here Entry

I know I have not kept up with this blog. I had all good intentions when I started and I figured that since I was going to be SAHM I would have all the time in the world to keep this thing updated. I had all these visions of having a record of Christina Marie's daily activities, firsts, funnies, not so funnies, the works. Needless to say, I have not kept up with this thing. Heck, most days I'm doing good to run a brush through my hair and put some make up on. Man oh man the life of a SAHM is certainly NOT uneventful, that's for sure.

So what brings me back to the blogging world? I am entering in for a chance to win a Zookies cloth diaper cover. Christina is a cloth baby - has been since she was a newborn, and I must say it is one of the best decisions Sam and I have made for her. Not only is cloth a heathier, more affordable option, but it's just so darn cute! There are so many options for cloth diapering - pockets, all in ones (AIO), fitteds, all in twos (AI2), and of course flats or prefolds with covers.

When Christina was a newborn, we stuck with prefolds and covers. It was an economical way for us to start CDing and allowed us to build or stash with more expensive options over time. Prefolds were perfect for containing mommy milk poo, and I could always get the perfect fit on her. As she became more mobile, I branched out into other options. Pockets and fitteds quickly became my favorites, and the prefolds got pushed aside. I actually never sized up in prefolds, but I picked up some preloved ones at a local consignment shop in Old Katy, The Children's Carousel, and I have once again found the prefold love. I am able to use the AI2 shells I have been making as covers for these prefolds and her fitteds (also mommy made), and I have two other PUL covers, but I would love love love to try the Zookies covers! The prints are adorable, plus they snap, which is always a plus for little ones who like to take off hook and loop dypes. The fact that Hillary from Love Lives Here gave such a wonderful review of the product makes me so excited to have the opportunity to try it out on Christina Marie. So, here's to crossing my fingers that we win!
