Cloth Diapering in a Fifth Wheel?

My favorites hanging in the sun.

Yes, it can be done! When I first heard of moms of my generation cloth diapering, I seriously wondered if they lost their minds. Why, why, why would you EVER do something so crazy as that when clearly progress has been made in the diaper world with disposables?!?
Then a friend of mine showed me her daughter's cute cloth diaper... and I started hearing more moms talking about how much cloth diapers have changed from the old rubber pants that I had in my mind. Next, as if the cuteness of the diapers hadn't already won me over, I read about the toxins in the disposables. (Yes, we all survived disposables, but I am funny in that way, once I read about something being so horrible, it is really hard for me to forget the horror...with the exception of articles that speak horrors of dairy. I can easily ignore that.) The final news that sealed the deal was the cost savings.

Does the laundry bother me? Nope! I love my Maytag Neptune! ... that is at home. Is packing dirty diapers to the laundromat as bad as it sounds? Not really.
Am I totally loving hanging them up to dry and sun bleach? Well, you be the judge!




Sun bleaching diapers, brewing sun tea, sunning a Basil plant... welcome to our home!

4 months old

Here are a couple of picture updates from the past 2 weeks... Kimby discovered mirrors, floor travel (and the shortcut off the bed & couch to my horror), how to fight naps, and is rapidly growing into size 6 month clothes.

"Well, hello my window friend!"

So proud of rolling all over the living room!

Morning snuggles with Daddy

Kimberly loves Teddy Bear, Buttercup, toys that loop over the arm, and riding in Daddy's pickup.

Mommy loves naptimes when Kimberly actually sleeps.
