Bumkins AIOs

Do you love all in ones? I’ve been dying to try, and I’ve now found my chance. Ecobabybuys is selling (for today only) 2 Bumkins AIOs plus a wet bag for $33.50. For me, shipping would be $5. Items ship from New York, so all of you New Yorkers would be charged sales tax as well. However, it’s still a good deal seeing how normally the Bumkins AIOs are $18 each.
An alternative would be the Bumkins Diaper Bundle 3-Pack from amazon.com (free shipping!), starting at $52; retail price is $72.

I hope you find your cheap fluff!

What's the going rate for a BG?

I think it's typically $18 for a BumGenius pocket diaper. Well, have you considered modifying your BG to snaps? If so, go ahead and get an extra one...
$16 at KAMSnaps.com
And, she'll throw in 100 snap sets for you too. Shipping is free if you buy two. (But, hurry, she only has 5 left...)

My Hiatus

I want to apologize to those of you who follow my blog. I have been on a bit of hiatus since my last post. Allow me to summarize, in chronological order:
1. Halloween.
2. Found out that we were being evicted. Had to be out by the 31st of December.
3. Hosted Thanksgiving. (Still didn't have a place to move to.)
4. Looking to move.
5. Working...
6. Looking to move...
December 15th...
7. Found a place! And Christmas (oh, and my birthday, that goes with Christmas...)
8. Moved in on Christmas Day.
9. Christmas. (Did that already happen?)
10. Working and moving and working...
11. New Years
12. Working 40 hours a week.
13. Internet? Yeah, you can't get At&t. You have to get Cox.
14. I love moving and not having access to the internet or mail for weeks at a time.
15. Ah-ha! There you are.
See, and now here we are, on (or near) January 15th. This is going to get better. Much better. I hope you all scored some excellent Christmas sale stash.
I did. It's in a box somewhere...

Have ya met..

Have you met Diaper Decisions? Susie, over at Diaper Decisions sponsors the semi-annual Great Cloth Diaper Hunt. A bunch of diaper manufacturers and others get together to allow visitors to "hunt" for a little diaper (or is it an owl?) located on their website. Get entered in for daily prizes as well as grand prizes. But you need to register first, and you can do so by going here. The Hunt starts November 1st, and ends on Nov. 30.
*Wanna know a secret? Try purchasing a sponsor pack. For $15 you get a whole host of goodies including coupons for diapers and samples of diaper laundry detergent, soaps, etc. And that $15? Yeah, that includes shipping. Woo-hoo.

gDiapers: My traveling diaper

I'll admit it. I like the convenience of a throw away diaper. I'm a working Mom, and I have someone who watches my baby while I'm at work. I'm sure that while she wouldn't mind the extra hassle of cloth, I am aware that she has a lot on her plate, and worrying about where to put the poo from the poopy diaper isn't one of them. (Besides, I HATE having to clean up poop... I blogged about it here.)
So, I use gDiapers. They are a hybrid diaper; cloth on the outside and papery pulp on the inside that will compost. (In my mind, this is becoming a trend with GroBaby coming out with Bio Soaker Pads and now BumGenius coming out with the Flip diapers.)
When the fam and I took Jo to Disneyland for her birthday back in June, we were gone for 5 days. I did still use pockets for my overnight diaper, with a wet bag, but I started that routine 2 days into the trip. The first two nights I do what I always do: gInsert, (maybe doubled,) with the little gPant, and then, a wool soaker over it. Tada! No leaks, no laundry!
If Vi had a poopy diaper that got a little messy, then it went into the wet bag. I could wash it when I got home. I swear, it's as easy as disposables without the rashes, worries, or concerns over environment. At the same time, it felt like cloth without the laundry.
Best of Both Worlds.
I need to edit to add that taking a few gPants, and the inserts adds very little bulk to my suitcase.
