Another Day, Another Dollar

Being a parent is draining on your time, energy, and pocket book! What do you do to find ways to save?

When we found out we were expecting our daughter, I wanted to cloth diaper. My husband was unsure in the beginning, but when he saw how cloth has changed he was all for it. We compared the cost of disposables, and we bought used cloth, and we saved quite a bit of money.

Washing hasn't been an issue, other than when you forget you have diapers in the wash! LOL That poses a slight problem. A quick wash cycle and they're ready to hang/dry. Figuring out your wash routine is tricky, since everyone has a different opinion on what works best. Ultimately it's up to you and how you feel works to your advantage.

Honestly, using cloth isn't nearly as impossible as your friends and family make it out to be. Just because they used cloth 30-40 years ago doesn't mean anything today. It's completely different, and yet exactly the same! Cloth has come a long way and is WAY cuter than disposables!
