Who me?

I can honestly say that I NEVER thought I would be the kind of mom that would get into cloth diapering. I never really even considered the idea because it just wasn't me and I didn't want any extra work! Well, never say never!

A few months ago two of my friends started using cloth and they would post on FB or their blogs about it. The truth is I only started researching it because I was thinking what in the world are these crazy moms doing (no offense Lizze and Rikki)! As I looked into it and talked to my sweet friends I learned that CDing isn't that much more work than using disposables and it is way better on the checkbook, environment, and your babies bottom! I am not going to lie...initially all I cared about was how much money it could save me. Then as I got further into it I learned more about the chemicals they put in disposables and how bad for the environment disposables are. I am not going to make this post all about why you should switch because I know that it is not for everyone and I am in no way judging anyone that doesn't use cloth. For me I just couldn't NOT make the switch to cloth after everything I read.

We started trying out cloth at the beginning of December and have just in the past week been able to switch to full time cloth! This weekend I put up a makeshift clothesline in the backyard to hang dry our CD when the weather is nice!

When I look at these pictures all I can think is, "Is this really me?"; but it is and so far things are working out! I am so blessed to have a husband that is not only willing to try but supportive about it!

A special thanks to Lizze and Rkki for answering my thousands of questions! I am sure I will have more as we continue! Check out Lizze's new blog Diaperville to read all about her adventures in cloth diapering and living a greener lifestyle!
