Favorite CDing Stuff

Rockin' Green detergent - this stuff truely rocks!  We now use it for all of our laundry and the scents are just yummy!

Wool Dryer Balls - there are many WAHM shops online to order these from but I made my own.  I currently have 6 of them bouncing around in my dryer and man do they cut down on drying time.

Wool in general - I love my wool soakers and longies.  All of the ones I have I made out of old sweaters and once lanolized they are bulletproof over a fitted diaper.  They are awesome when K has a bit of a rash, between the fitted diaper and wool cover they really let his little tush breathe.

Hemp - I love my hemp inserts. They're nothing fancy, just some I sewed up in a hurry but they're great for overnight.  One of these days I'm really going to just get rid of all the microfiber and make the switch to all natural fibers (MF just tends to hold on to stink and it can be annoying)

I also love my planetwise hanging wetbag (or really just any large wetbag with a handle to hang from a doorknob).  We have one in the bathroom for those poopy diapers that need to be dunked so we don't have to carry them dripping wet all the way back to K's room to the diaper pail.  They're just so stinkin' handy and are also great for trips.

I have more I could add to this list but for once J says he's going to mop up the muddy pawprints from the kitchen floor so I'd better go keep an eye on K before he changes his mind.

The Power of the Sun

Wondering how to get those lovely poo stains out of your little ones diaper and/or clothes?

Put them in the sun!  Yes, that's all there is to it.  Just wash them as usual and instead of drying them in the dryer lay them out in the sun to dry and watch those stains disappear at the same time.

Not only will you get rid of those not so pretty poo stains (or at least lighten them up a ton), but you'll save energy and money as well by not running your dryer (your diaper will last longer too!)

I love line drying my diapers and try to as much as I can.  With the cooler weather they don't always get completely dry out on the line but I can at least get some stains out and cut the time in the dryer down.

FuzziBunz OS

First off I love, love, love FuzziBunz diapers.  Out of our current stash they are the ones I can get the best fit on K.  They have 2 separate rows of snaps, one row at the waist and one at the legs/hips, so you can adjust each independently to get a good fit (we have problems with some other brands fitting at the legs, but then being too big around the waist, especially in the front).

Up until now we've only used the sized version and I love them.  Well K is getting to the point where he might outgrow his current size in the next couple months so I was going to order some in the next size up to have one hand.  I kept going back and forth between getting the mediums in the perfect size diaper or just try out one of their one sized diapers.  In the end after hearing good things about the OS version I went ahead and ordered one.

It arrived yesterday, luckily as I was doing diaper laundry so I was able to throw it in the wash.  I tried it out today and love it!  I told J we might just have to get more of the OS instead of the mediums.
Now what makes these OS diapers different is that instead of having rows of snaps to adjust the rise, they have buttonhole elastic in the legs, so you just tighten and loosen the elastic as needed.  I tend to have issues of snaps coming unsnapped as I try to pull them up tight, won't have that problem with the FB's since their are no snaps.

Now just to figure out how to get some more........
