Military Monday

I know, I know this is not Twitter ;)

I wanted to start my own Military Monday. All about the military. I want to feature one company, business (online or local for me) that is owned my a military spouse or gives a military discount. I think this would be a good way to get new companies out to the readers. Some I have bought from, some I will buy from. I will let you know which I have done. I look forward to sharing new business with you!

 

Sweet Baby Bottoms carries natural parenting items. Cloth diapers, laundry soaps, soft structured baby carriers, body soaps, and baby clothes.

SSB, is located in North County San Diego.
I purchase my Rockin Green laundry detergent for my Cloth Diapers from her. I also bought my Boba Soft Structured Baby Carrier from her.
I love my Rockin Green, honestly I could eat my laundry. I know that sounds weird but it is lovely detergent.
My Boba carrier is a life saver. I bought it to carry Munchkin, it is seriously a dream. My Boba carrier evens out the weight and I do not just her on my shoulders. Today at the zoo I carried around Prince and he is 40 solid pounds. It was really great. I love my carrier and I will never own another brand.

Couple things

I am participating in NABLPOMO and I thought I was doing a good job at posting. I have not paid attention to the times. I have even fallen apart with my twitter feeds since I have been making the diapers. I just finished two for a friend and those will travel to the DC area tomorrow...

I am single mom-in it for a week. I thought all this was over! Perhaps I should not have thought. I am really excited for February. I really can't explain why just yet. I will though. It is exciting and scary all at the same time.

We are facing a deployment here soon. So I am mentally preparing for that. It is so scary but at least we will have our holidays.

One other thing... Can someone kindly explain the hoopla behind the games on Facebook? I do not have time to pee let alone sit down and play Facebook games.

Look for more posts coming up about diapers!

My finished creation

I've been waiting on the edge of my seat for a package from China. I got it. I made this:





I think it's safe to say that as long as my machine is up and running she will have diapers. They are VERY tedious but saves money and so worth it!


-- Post From My iPhone

Rude much

First let me start off saying that I tried twice to write this post via BlogPress for my iPhone. Once it blanked out and when to the home screen, second time it erased the post!!! WTH

So here I go.

Yesterday I went to Joann's to look for fabrics for cloth diapers. I know that I did not pick the best day to head to a fabric store but I was kid less, perfect time to go. So I head to the store.

This mission of mine was not on the list of things to remember....

I got in the store and it was packed. There were four people on the floor 2 cashiers and 2 at the cut table.

I look around the store for fabrics that I wanted or that I could use. I take the next number which is sixty. So I wait.

When It was my turn to be called I rushed to the older women that was there. I figure that she could help me better than the younger one using her scissors upside down!

So i hand her my number and ask her a couple questions. She doesn't know the answers to! I couldn't believe it. When she did give me answers she was really snappy. I kept being polite.I left with a smile.

There were eighteen people there. No one else to help in that big store!! Unbelievable!

I continue to look through the store to see what I can spend my hard saved dollars on... Nothing.

I head to the checkout and there are 2 cashiers speaking Spanish and English to each other. They are talking about who has the day off or not. WHO CARES! RING UP MY STUFF!!!

Maybe it was the fact they have piss poor planning. Maybe it was the fact that I went there on a busy day. I honestly am not sure. I do not plan on going back there unless they have a sale that is big enough for me to deal with the rude workers. This is not my first encounter with rude ladies at this location.

Back to online shopping I go....

This and that

Hey there. I am here!

Life around here has been rather hectic for the last 10 weeks. My dh was doing stuff at work and averaged coming home about one day a week. It has been stressful with dinner planning and having time to myself.

I know that sounds selfish but after 3 kids I am not afraid to admit it! I think it really helps the sainity process!

I have been doing the cloth diaper thing for about a month or so now. I really like it. I never run out of diapers, and Munchkin has not had a rash since we switched over.
I am currently waiting on a shipment of fabric and snaps that I am on the seat of my chair to get! I am really excited.
I have also been toying with the idea of opening an Etsy shop. I am not sure how that will work with a deployment coming up but it seems exciting!

I have so much going on in the next 10 months with ideas going through my head. I really hope that you stick around to see what I have in store.

The challenge is if I can do it with 3 kids all 2 years apart!!!!

THAT side... AGAIN

I was always that girl that bought lots of clothes. As soon as I got a shop that is what I did. Bought clothes. So many clothes I really never did laundry. I also loathe laundry. It is just tedious work that I hate.

That being said...

Munchkin get really irratated from diapers, the elastic. Not even something I can change. She does it with all the diapers I have tried on her.

We are doing cloth!!!

I can't believe it. I said I would never do cloth diapers. Well kids, never say never. I am one day into it and it is not that bad. I bought some that will fit her now as well as later.

The reason I have been absent from my blog..... I am making them.

I am trying different things. I got a couple patterns off the net but I didn't like them. So I bought a pattern and I made one but it is to small. So tonight I will be sewing 2 more after the kiddos go to bed to try on her.

I hope they work. Most of all I hope my fabrics work. We will see.... Wish me luck
