<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">Since starting cloth diapering I've always been a “Thirsties Momma.” I've recommended <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/thirsties" target="_blank">Thirsties</a> to so many people because I not only love their products but I love what their brand stands for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As far as the actual diapers I've used many of their products. I love <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/thirsties-duo-wrap-with-snaps" target="_blank">the wraps</a> if I just want an affordable solution and it's perfect for the days we're chilling at home. For the days where we're on the go, I love their <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/thirsties-one-size-all-in-one" target="_blank">all-in-one diaper</a>. I also can't give the all-in-one diaper enough praise because it was deemed a favorite by my husband. Anybody who comes to my house and sees our diaper stash knows that I try every kind of diaper - we've got wraps, AIOs, pockets, and more, plus many brands as well (I guess that's what happens when you're a cloth diaper consultant and you want to be able to speak from experience to your clients). There were many times though that my husband would be so confused by what kind of diaper I had on my son that he looked through them at one point, grabbed the Thirsties AIO and said “This is where it's at. Too easy!” Since then when I'm recommending diapers I call it “The Daddy Fave.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another reason I really love this company is that all their diapers are <b><span style="color: blue;">made in the U</span><span style="color: red;">S</span><span style="color: blue;">A</span></b>! That seems to be something that our country is going away from and I find it a HUGE bonus when looking at purchasing anything, really. I've always supported small and local businesses and though Thirsties is growing every day I love that it's made where we call home! This is also something that is huge to my Army husband so I can get away with buying some more fluff since it's made in the US and who doesn't want more fluff?!?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just when I thought I couldn't love Thirsties any more...they took it to another level! I ordered a couple new diapers about a month ago. I was bummed when I saw a slightly damaged diaper. I mean I've bought and sold quite a bit of Thirsties products so I know this is rare, but it was still disappointing as I have a wild 4 year old and newborn therefore I dreaded the thought of trying to exchange a diaper. Still hesitant, I decided to see what their warranty policy was like in practice. Honestly, it couldn't have been easier! There is a form online and they made the process so easy. They shipped me the new diaper immediately. It arrived in an eco shipping bag - which I loved - that could be reused to ship the damaged diaper back to them in, and they included a pre-paid shipping label. Why do they want a damaged diaper you ask? Because they try to fix the diaper (which mine could easily be fixed with some additional stitching) and then donate it to a family in need who uses cloth. How cool is that?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What can I say, I love Thirsties! If you're looking for a company that not only has a good product but also has good customer service and a beautiful mission, buy Thirsties!</span></div>

We strive to make the shopping experience easy and provide excellent education and customer support. Our consultants are an amazing resource and are here to help you learn about cloth diapers, choose the best option for your family and troubleshoot any issues you may come across along your journey.<br />
<br />
We completed a major redesign of our website last year, and the feedback on the design and visual appeal were overwhelmingly positive. Unfortunately, the site proved difficult to use and we had customers with difficulty completing the checkout process or finding the information that was needed. eLeMeNO-Pee wants to be the go-to source for cloth diapers in the US and so we have recently updated our website again to improve the user experience. The results so far have been fantastic! Please continue to give feedback and let us know what you like and what you don't - we take your feedback seriously and want you to have the best experience and customer service possible!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019900799657755598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365030311114382116.post-74124485867818563392015-10-15T08:05:00.000-07:002015-10-15T08:06:50.623-07:00Snack ShackSo for anyone who has children eating solid food, you may be starting to get overwhelmed by all the snacks your children are consuming! We are going through this very thing in our own home with an 11, 9, and 4 year old. It goes like this...every week I go buy groceries. Admittedly, I am not the most organized grocery shopper and often get what looks good as I'm wandering the aisles. But I always need snacks! Lots of snacks! I'm talking like fruit, fruit snacks, energy bars, cheese crackers, yogurt, JUICE (for goodness sakes don't forget the juice! My kids might actually die of dehydration if there is no juice *note the sarcasm here)! Graham crackers, cookies, chips & string cheese, and that's usually one week! It's a little embarrassing to admit that I do actually buy that many snacks a week, but we can't keep them, the kids eat them all up. I have always stressed that the kids must choose a healthy after-school snack and then maybe right before dinner (if they're starving, which they always are) a small snack like cheese or fruit snacks to hold them over and then they always want one right before bed. Its exhausting! And wasteful! Just eat a meal for the LOVE!<br />
<br />
So here I was...another day complaining to my husband in the kitchen about all the food the kids are eating and how they're always hungry because they aren't making healthy choices when it comes to snacks. And his answer at first was...quit buying them. Well, duh! But that's not going to work. We're on the go a lot and everyone is running in different directions, so we still need snacks, we just need them to last more than 4 days! The second solution...quit feeding the entire neighborhood! That is a really good point! Not only do they want snacks, but they have good manners and offer their friends a snack as well! Now... how do we let the kids have a variety of healthy and indulgent snacks and still be aware of who they're eating around and how much they're eating? This is what we came up with! I posted it on my personal Facebook page and got a great response!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93TzIw3JXC1sPWaNTM7FOENbIUnb40aXpH1fft_xyy6V4sye3qjM8FacnlT1Y9JeU9g7Z661J_qZuMgpkS-HSQyqR58HQFsoGuW8B7u73UUKDZe7UKXH0U0FaBZFVy8GzHF9NYKgg4aL0/s1600/Snack+shack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg93TzIw3JXC1sPWaNTM7FOENbIUnb40aXpH1fft_xyy6V4sye3qjM8FacnlT1Y9JeU9g7Z661J_qZuMgpkS-HSQyqR58HQFsoGuW8B7u73UUKDZe7UKXH0U0FaBZFVy8GzHF9NYKgg4aL0/s320/Snack+shack.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Now, I don't need to hear any judgement on our snack options...I know what is and isn't "healthy" and I'm sure most people do. I choose my battles, and to be honest, my husband and I enjoy these sugary snacks from time to time! It's all about balance right?<br />
<br />
We give our kids $5 a week to pay for snacks. We have several free options so they'll eat something that is actually filling. They put their money in a jar when they want a snack. When a friend is over, they have to buy a snack for that friend or wait until the friend leaves. At the end of the week, they get to keep the leftover money! My kids are very motivated by money. <br />
<br />
You know what happened? They don't eat all the snacks! They fill up after school on a sandwich or something free. They wait until dinner to eat again! They may or may not get a snack before bed or they may just have a glass of milk! AHA! We've got some pretty smart cookies in this house. I haven't had to buy snacks for 2 weeks. I don't think we'll need to continue this for very long. But the kids have learned to be aware of what they're eating and how much it costs to keep these items in stock for them. They also like having a little extra cash in their piggy banks! Good math lesson, good life lesson. I call this a win-win!<br />
<br />
How do you control the snacks in your home? <br />

-the ease of replacing the hook and loop closure if it ever wears out?<br />

"<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #6d6e70; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: opensansregular; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">O.N.E is a unique all-in-one diaper that we have spent the last several months designing and refining. It is a true all-in-one diaper (fits 10-35+ pounds) with a unique Outlast closure system that gives the user the ability to choose between Hook & Loop and Snap closures, and the ability to buy a replacement kit when your Hook & Loop wears out. O.N.E's absorbency comes from a hidden body layer PLUS our one-of-a-kind cotton, channeled soaker design that is trim yet absorbent. All with the same amazing quality you've come to know and love in GroVia products.</span>"<br />

Four years later, I have a good thing going. I found reliable information resources and held on for dear life. But for those of you still trying to imagine how your life will be different while using cloth, I'm here to tell you that what<em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.7;"> actually</em> helps is seeing how someone else makes it work. I'm going show my version of that by describing my small-human-dictated, coffee-fueled, cloth-diaper-using, crazy-fun-beautiful life:</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">6:00am:</strong> Either <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mooshkasees?fref=ts" target="_blank">Mooshka</a>, who bedshares, or Little Guy, who sleeps in another bed in the same room, wakes me up. They're usually pretty chipper. So chipper.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">6:05am:</strong> The chipper is contagious. Whichever small person was still sleeping, is no longer so. Mooshka nurses for a bit, we cuddle, play peek-a-boo, ya know. Cute morning stuff. If it's a school day, Sis-Sis, my oldest daughter, usually joins us for a few minutes after she gets up and gets dressed.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">6:30am:</strong> We get out of bed and the first thing I do is head down the hall to the kid's bathroom, where my changing station is set up and all of our diapers are stored. I change Mooshka's diaper. Before putting it in my dry pail (an open trash can with a reusable <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/search.asp?keyword=planetwise&search.x=0&search.y=0&search=submit" target="_blank">Planetwise</a> pail liner), I rinse it with cold water in the bathroom sink and wring it out. Little Guy rarely wakes up wet, but just in case, he still wears a nighttime diaper. If his is wet too, I rinse that one as well. Otherwise, I take it off and put him on the potty. I try to take a few minutes to go ahead and get the kids dressed for the day, but it doesn't always happen.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">7:00am:</strong> On wash days (every third day), I start diaper laundry. The pail in the upstairs bathroom is usually full with about a dozen GroVia all-in-ones, a half dozen soaker pads or prefolds, a handful of shells, and 3-4 nighttime diapers. There is an additional hanging <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Wet-Bags-and-Pail-Liners_c_1707.html" target="_blank">wetbag</a> in the downstairs bathroom that usually has 8-10 diapers in it. It's where I empty out my smaller wetbag when we come home from outings. I gather both of those, take them to the laundry room, empty them into the washer, add a little detergent and start a 34-minute quick cycle. Then I replace the liner in the pail and hang a new wetbag downstairs.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">7:05am:</strong> All too often, as soon as the washer starts, the baby poops. Why!? I lay Mooshka on the changing table, unfasten the diaper, wipe her clean, and apply <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/grovia-itty-bitty-magic-stick" target="_blank">GroVia magic stick</a> if she needs it. We use disposable wipes, so I put them in a plastic bag in the trash. Cloth wipes would go straight in the pail. I fasten on a new diaper. She's wiggly, so this is my least favorite part of the process. Once she's in a fresh diaper, I set her down to play or put her in the carrier. If she had just wet her diaper, I'd put it in the pail and be done! Since this was a dirty diaper, I put gloves on, and either plop the poop into the potty or dunk the diaper in the potty and swish it around until the poo comes off. This technique is easy once you get the hang of it and friends who have seen me do it sometimes even remark on how simple it seems compared to what they thought it would look like. Other options are using liners (reusable or disposable), or using a <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Diaper-Sprayers_c_1704.html" target="_blank">sprayer</a> and Spray Pal splatter shield. Once all of the waste is in the toilet, I put the diaper in the pail, I scrub my hands and move on with my day!</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">7:10am:</strong> Debate starting the diaper laundry over so I can put the newly dirtied one in the wash too, depending on how bad the poo was and which diaper it was in. It's so tempting! I used to start it over multiple times, but I've come to realize that there will always be dirties in the pail so I might as well get the current load washed without delaying it each time I change the baby. Once you have a solid wash routine, it won't matter if even a really messy diaper sits at the bottom of the pail for a few days, because you can trust that it will come clean regardless.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">7:15am:</strong> I mess around on facebook, do a little blogging or reading if I'm lucky, and we eat breakfast. Usually I hear the washer beep at me to let me know the quick cycle is finished around 7:35-7:40, but we take our time eating. Little Guy may or may not watch PBS. Mooshka may or may not make a horrendous mess of her highchair.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">8:00am:</strong> I start the main cycle. The cycle itself takes about an hour and a half, but it takes me less than one minute to get it going. I just run upstairs, add my detergent and whatnot to the machine, and push a few buttons.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">8:01am:</strong> I come back down, clean up the kids, clean up breakfast, and put Mooshka in the carrier. She nurses, then falls asleep for an hour or two. While she sleeps on me, Little Guy and I play, read, do puzzles, sometimes take walks, or whatever strikes our fancy. Sometimes, he might play on my phone or watch another show while I write some more or do a few chores. On days that I'm not doing diaper laundry, this is usually when I start a regular load.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">9:30am:</strong> Mooshka wakes up. This is the happiest time of her day. She's full, clean, cozy, rested, and properly snuggled. If I need to shower, this is when I do it. We all get dressed and I prepare for an outing if there is one that day. I make sure to change her again before we leave. It's just wet this time, so it goes straight in the pail.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: justify;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 0.825em; text-align: justify;">
I almost always take her upstairs to change her, but it would be easy to keep a few supplies downstairs. Up until she started solids, I actually changed most diapers downstairs. Exclusively breastfed poop doesn't need to be flushed down the toilet, so I didn't need one near my changing station. If I did need to thoroughly clean a diaper before putting it in the pail, I could use the small bathroom on the first floor where I kept the pail. I stored all of diapers in an end table, and just changed her on the floor or couch. At the time, it was more convenient because she was going through 15-18 diapers a day. I wasn't about to climb the stairs that many times. Little Guy was also younger and I didn't feel comfortable taking my eyes off him, lest he completely destroy the house. Plus, I was still changing 3-4 diapers of his a day at that point! Now, he uses the potty, I can trust him alone for a few minutes, and I'm changing less diapers. I just go ahead and count going up and down the stairs as my daily workout.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">10:00am:</strong> The main cycle has finished, so I check the diapers. Not everyone does this, but my machine is finicky, so I've learned to take out each diaper and inspect it to make sure it got clean. If I need to, I might run another cycle or set a few diapers aside that need to dry in the sun to remove stains. That process takes about 15 minutes or so. Finally, I either hang things up to dry or put them in the dryer. You <em style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">can</em> dry most diapers on high, but I prefer to save a little energy by setting it to a longer cycle at a lower temp.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">10:15am:</strong> After I get the diapers drying, the next few hours are open. We might just play at home. Sometimes we have people over.

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">Noon:</strong> It's lunchtime! Luckily, Little Guy is not a super picky eater and usually eats what I give him or plays in the living room while ignoring what I've placed on the table for him. As long he's not throwing a fit, 'sallgood. He almost always get a little somethin' in his belly. I scarf down some soup or leftovers while nursing Mooshka, then put her in her highchair for some solid food. She eats a little and throws food everywhere. A good portion of our "lunch hour" is me picking up after her.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">1:00pm:</strong> I spend a little time folding laundry. On diaper washing days, I ignore other laundry and marvel at my pretties -- fresh, clean, lined up. Guuuuush!!! Even with neglecting our regular laundry every third day, I usually stay caught up if I make myself fold and put away after lunch. I'm either wearing Mooshka or listening to her and Little Guy play in the playroom. If I'm not wearing her, she usually crawls over and knocks over my piles every five seconds.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">2:00pm:</strong> Eventually, I get to a point where I can't face anymore folding, re-folding, and putting away. I give up, and usually start checking Facebook. By this time, Mooshka needs another diaper change anyway. Sometimes this is a poopy one. I get her cleaned up and join them in the playroom, or we head outside for some fun time. If I'm having a supermom day, we might even do a project, bake something, or leave the house again. During this part of the day, I'm trying to be better about spending a little time in the kitchen doing something to make dinner prep easier.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">3:30pm:</strong> Sis-Sis and Papabear get home! We are super lucky in that my hubby works for himself. He keeps appointments during the day and is able to pick up Sis-Sis from school. When they get home, he disappears into his home office to finish up paperwork and make phone calls. Mooshka goes back in the carrier to nurse and take another nap. Little Guy goes back outside, plays independently, or runs around the house like a banshee. I reconnect with Sis-Sis, ask her about her day, and usually help with whatever school project she's working on.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">4:30pm:</strong> Sis-Sis meets up with her bestie down the street. I change Mooshka's diaper, do the dishes and straighten up the kitchen. This is also usually when I bring in anything that was sunning outside. If I need to, I finish up a blog post before bath and dinner.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">6:00pm:</strong> Sis-Sis comes home, bathes, sets the table, and we eat! For the next hour or so, we talk, we catch up, we play outside, the baby nurses, and we just enjoy the evening as a family.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">7:15pm:</strong> Me and the kids head upstairs. I change Mooshka again, put a nighttime diaper on Little Guy, and everyone brushes teeth. We all go to Sis-Sis's (how many S's can I put in one word, right?) room to read a story and tell "favorite parts" -- a family tradition where we talk about all the things we have to be grateful for that day.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">7:45pm:</strong> I lay down to cuddle Little Guy to sleep. Sometimes, this lasts a few minutes. Sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes Mooshka falls asleep too, but most often she just nurses or plays.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">8:00pm-10:00pm:</strong> We clean up the kitchen, talk, and cuddle the baby. I used to put her nighttime diaper on at the same time I put on Little Guy's, but lately she has been wetting two or three diapers between then and when she actually falls asleep. Until I got hip to what was happening, I kept putting on a new nighttime diaper. We only have five nighttime diapers to last both babies between wash days, so I learned to just wait until after the big kids are in bed to get her set up in her overnight gear. If she happens to fall asleep early in a daytime diaper, so be it. I'm not going to stress over one leaky night. While she's nursing to sleep, I might read or mess around on my phone. Once she's sleeping, I straighten up downstairs and sometimes we watch a show before heading up to bed ourselves.</div>

So, you see, once you commit to fitting cloth into your lifestyle, it's just a few minutes here and there. Diaper changes take a little longer, but not much, and the extra load of laundry isn't as bad as it seems. I change 8-10 diapers a day, and have to dunk n swish one or two. Every few days, I spend a few minutes loading and unloading the washer, and starting cycles, then a little time folding diapers. It's not as scary as it seems! Yes, there's a toddler underfoot with oh-so-specific demands, and a baby who, as you noticed, wants to nurse and be carried all day. Yes, I have a partner and an older kiddo that need my time, too. But I've found that a cloth diapering routine is totally doable for our family. There are some days that are harder than others, but I hope that hearing about how I go about my day with a baby in cloth helps you picture how you could do the same!</div>

So… you have been cloth diapering your little one for a while and you have come to a slight speed bump… nighttime. Your little one has graciously given you a longer stretch to sleep at night, but is waking up wet. What should you do? </div>

Get yourself a few diapers that will work specifically for night time. </h3>

Does it feel just a bit overwhelming? It is easier than you think! Just a few simple things and you will be ready to go!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiwI-OJHGJvX_MnxF-ZNY3aYjuLHuZQenoIrhmdZkoHM1TjMvOlUBjHT9Jz3z4h72Ne021lc9I7uy6vQITFUf8yI6KdoVg31BEM0eoyfnA2TgBPUslAaHsED73-Tmb8_2atWyfgZaceUjU/s1600/cloth+diaper+essentials.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiwI-OJHGJvX_MnxF-ZNY3aYjuLHuZQenoIrhmdZkoHM1TjMvOlUBjHT9Jz3z4h72Ne021lc9I7uy6vQITFUf8yI6KdoVg31BEM0eoyfnA2TgBPUslAaHsED73-Tmb8_2atWyfgZaceUjU/s1600/cloth+diaper+essentials.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<h3>
<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Cloth-Diapers-s/1817.htm" target="_blank">Diapers</a></h3>
<div>
Let's start with the obvious, right? You need about 24 (give or take) diapers. You can grab <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/All-In-One-s/1822.htm" target="_blank">all in ones</a>, <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Pocket-Diapers-s/1820.htm" target="_blank">pockets</a>, <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/All-In-Two-s/1823.htm" target="_blank">hybrids</a>, <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Prefold-Cloth-Diapers-s/2336.htm" target="_blank">prefolds</a>, <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Fitted-s/1825.htm" target="_blank">fitteds</a> or any combination of the above! Having 24 diapers will give you the wiggle room to wash every two days. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/thfw-b.htm" target="_blank">Wipes</a></h3>
<div>
Probably the most obvious necessary accessory. Use <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/thfw-b.htm" target="_blank">cloth wipes</a> and wipe solution so that you never have to buy a pack of disable wipes. Plus, <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/thfw-b.htm" target="_blank">cloth wipes</a> are so much better for your baby's skin! Don't forget to grab some <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/hnwipe-4.htm" target="_blank">wipe solution </a>too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=wet+bags&Submit=" target="_blank">Wet Bags</a></h3>
<div>
So now you have dirty diapers and wipes… where do you put them? In <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=wet+bags&Submit=" target="_blank">wet bags</a> my friends! I recommend at least one <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/pwwb-md.htm" target="_blank">smaller wet bag</a> for the diaper bag and at least one <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/pwpl.htm" target="_blank">pail liner </a>for the home. If you have two of each you can use one while the other is in the wash.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Laundry-s/1860.htm" target="_blank">Detergent</a></h3>
<div>
Once you have started to use cloth diapers, the washing must begin! Don't worry, this is easy too. It is just a few extra loads a week! <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/chlp-1250.htm" target="_blank">Charlie's Soap</a> is a great option and inexpensive per load.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/ocspr.htm" target="_blank">Diaper Sprayer</a> and/or <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/ocfl.htm" target="_blank">Diaper Liners </a></h3>
<div>
As long as your child is exclusively breastfed, you won't have to worry about these! But eventually they must start to eat solid food and you have to do something about the… waste. One option is to connect a <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/ocspr.htm" target="_blank">sprayer</a> right to your toilet and spray off the diapers into the toilet. If you choose to go with the<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/ocfl.htm" target="_blank"> liners</a>, you put one in each diaper and just flush it down the toilet when soiled. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<a href="http://www.elemenopeeonline.com/" target="_blank">Your Personal Cloth Diaper Expert</a></h3>
<div>
Even though it is easier than you think to get started, there is an option of using a cloth diaper expert and it is completely free to you! They can help you pick out what you need, get you set up, help you with fit and washing. If you have an option of a team of experts helping you than why not?</div>
<div>

Here are my favorite picks…<br />

<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Jewelry-s/1829.htm">Jewelry</a></h3>
Who does not love a new piece of jewelry? The great thing about the jewelry we carry for mom is that it is both stylish and functional! We carry <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Chewbeads-s/1995.htm">Chewbeads</a>, stylish 100% silicone teething jewelry, worn by moms. Another great option is <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Baltic-Amber-s/1837.htm">Baltic Amber</a>. Baltic Amber is also a natural remedy for chronic ailments like Hypothyroidism, Fybromyalgia, Arthritis, GERD or Reflux, Eczema or Psoriasis, auto-immunity, migraines, and allergies.<br />

<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Baby-Carriers-s/1974.htm">Baby Carriers</a></h3>
So these are for the baby too, but moms LOVE a good baby carrier. It gives them some ability to work with both hands while still holding their baby!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Baby-Carriers-s/1974.htm&click=917">Ergo</a> Original carriers are a fantastic option. They are versatile and easy to use! You can wear your baby in the front, back or side.<br />

Another option is <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/ebbc-pc.htm">Ergobaby performance collection</a>. This option is more lightweight and therefore cooler for parent and baby. It is also designed with a longer back panel so it is ideal for babies 6 month and up and can allow the carrier to be worn longer.<br />

Not a lot of money? This is a great and easy option. Stack them and store the laundry basket under a table or close to where ever you change your baby!<br />

This is another inexpensive and portable option. Find a cute storage bin that matches your home's decor and you are ready to go. Many moms use this when they change most of the diapers in the living room. <br />

Make the first drawer in the changing table devoted to all things cloth diapering. This also makes it easy to rotate your stash. Keep a basket with <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/thfw-g.htm">wipes</a> and <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/hnwipe-4.htm&click=917">wipe solution</a> on the top of the table to complete the organization.<br />

Do you have a classic changing table with open storage? Add some baskets or old drawers to make for more structured organization. You can stack diapers for easy rotation and accessibility.<br />

This product is 100% organic cotton interior and made in the good old USA. The flannel exterior prints are to die for… so cute you may not be able to choose just one. Works great for daytime or nighttime with booster. Another <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/bff.htm">great addition</a> to your stash!</div>

Now that fall is in full swing, Thanksgiving and dare I say Christmas will be here before we know it! Bring on the pumpkins and the candy canes please :) <br />
Getting prepared for the holidays is exciting, but also can bring about some stress. Especially when travel is involved. Seeing in-laws, parents, relatives. Car rides, planes and more. <br />

You would be surprised, but more often than not it will probably be easiest (and definitely cheapest) to continue using <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Cloth-Diapers-s/1817.htm&click=917">cloth</a>. Think about it this way, you are used to it and so is your baby's bum. You don't have to figure out a new system or choose a new system. You will not run the risk of getting diaper rash from disposables. Just use and wash your diapers like normal!<br />
What about washing? Especially during the holidays you tend to stay with family. There you will have access to a washer and dryer no problem. Our family drove from Georgia to Ohio to Maryland and back to Georgia again and used cloth the whole time. I just washed them at each stop along the way. If you are not staying with family, many condos have laundry and hotels either have a laundromat or will be able to point out some laundry options that are close by!<br />

Did you know that many diaper brands come can be used with disposable inserts? This is a great in-between option for cloth and disposables. You bring your cloth covers and use the disposable inserts while you are traveling. Covers would still need to be washed like normal, but <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Hybrid-s/1883.htm&click=917">disposable inserts </a>would seriously cut down on the laundry and allow you to dispose of the waste (just make sure you don't flush the insert down the toilet, that could cause some problems). Some of the brands that carry hybrid options include <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/GRBS-50-p/grbs-50.htm&click=917">Grovia</a>, <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/fldc.htm&click=917">Flip</a> and <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Softbums-s/1832.htm&click=917">Soft Bums</a>. <br />

I would be lying to say we have never left the cloth behind. This past year we our family was blessed with the opportunity to go to Orlando and spend some time at the parks there. We planned on spending all day at the park leaving little time at the hotel. I thought that it would feel like too much to have to wash the diapers while we were there, so I went with the best disposable option there is: <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/category-s/2831.htm&click=917">Honest Company Diapers</a>. They are the most earth friendly disposables that I have found using natural, plant-based and sustainable materials. There is no chlorine in the processing and the diapers contain no latex, lotions or fragrances. They are super absorbent and feel the most"cloth-like" in my opinion. AND they are so cute- strawberries, anchors, flowers and more you get to choose the cutest patterns! This might be a good option if you are traveling somewhere with out a washer or dryer or will legitimately not have the time to wash the diapers!<br />

In fact, one of the main reasons some decide not to do it is the up-front investment and fear that they will not want to stick with it. <br />
<br />
Maybe you are this boat. Or maybe you have a friend that is interested in cloth diapering, but is still unsure. <br />
<br />
<div>
Well… there is an option that is even <i>less expensive</i> and gives you a chance to <i>"try out"</i> cloth diapering before you fully commit. That option is <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=econobum&Submit=&click=917">Econobum</a>!<br />

<a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=econobum&Submit=&click=917">Econobum</a> has a <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/Econobum-Trial-Pack-p/eb-tpa.htm&click=917">one size option</a> that fits 8-35 pounds that includes a cover and three cotton prefolds. The price is right in that you get three diaper changes for less than the cost of one cloth diaper!<br />

I remember it still. The first time I dropped my little one in the church nursery in cloth diapers.</div>
I nervously (and probably very quickly) said "My daughter wears cloth diapers. They are really easy I promise."<br />
My unsureness probably made them unsure about the situation as well.<br />

Then again, my daughter started a Mother's Day Out program.<br />
Cautiously I asked, "She cloth diapers, is that okay?"<br />
<br />
But as I have gotten more confident in my cloth diapering, so have my responses to church nurseries, daycares, baby-sitters, grandparents and the like.<br />
<br />
So how do you introduce cloth diapers to the <i>Non-cloth Diapering Caregiver</i>?<br />
Here are some quick tips…<br />

<h2>
Be confident</h2>
Your confidence in cloth diapering is key. My nervousness in introducing cloth the first two times did not help. This might sound harsh, but I don't even ask any more. When signing up for our daughter's childcare this year, I just simply stated we cloth diaper, then at open house showed them how it worked. When I go the church nursery I tell them that she cloth diapers and give them a quick tutorial.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Show the easy, cutest diaper first</h2>
eLeMeNO-Pee has some awesome <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/All-In-One-s/1822.htm">all-in-one </a>options. I also recommend using a velcro closure for a first showing to a caregiver- snaps can be really intimdating. Showing them a all-in-one velcro diaper and commenting about "how it is as easy as a disposable" usually is a good start. This is a gateway that gets them open and comfortable. I have found in the past as they get more comfortable they are, the more open they are to other things. For example after using velcro for a while our caregiver was completely open to snaps.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Know your rights</h2>
You have rights. Seriously, this is your baby and you get to make these kind of choices. <a href="http://diaperwrecker.com/2013/09/cloth-diapers-in-daycare/">This site</a> has some great information listed by state about your rights. Even if you are in a "restricted" place, you could most likely get an exemption from the doctor for something like sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Be Prepared</h2>
Diapers, wipes, wet bag- all prepped and ready to go. Make this easy on them, so they have a positive experience cloth diapering!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Work with them</h2>
Maybe they prefer you use <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=liners&Submit=">liners</a>. Maybe <a href="http://www.elemeno-pee.com/product-p/hcbw-t.htm">disposable wipes </a>would make it easier on them. Be willing and open to work with them!<br />
<br />
<h2>
Don't pack another option</h2>
If you pack disposables, they will use them… I almost guarantee it. If you want your child using cloth, pack cloth and they will learn to use it.<br />
<br />
The great thing about exposing our caregivers to cloth is that it makes a dent in making cloth mainstream. One care giver last year even said that she grew to like it so much that she planned on cloth diapering her own children!<br />
<br />
<h2>
Did these things ring true for you? Do you have any other suggestions? </h2>

easy that I made my first purchase that day. <br />

You've been asking and we've been listening! We have now created several "starter stashes" for budgets and preferences of every size!<br />
<br />
We anticipate that our most popular bundles will consist of the bumGenius 4.0s and also the GroVia All In One stashes. <br />
<br />

Some of them are actually true (but hear me out!)Did my blog title shock you? I know, why would a "cloth diaper lady" ever admit to common cloth diapering "cons" actually being true? Well....because some of them actually are! <br />
<br />
There are a lot of myths that cloth diapering families hear over and over. Some make you roll your eyes (no, they wouldn't make your baby bow-legged) while others actually have some merit. Let me get started so I can fully explain. <br />
<br />
A few of the most common "cons" and my rebuttal:<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>"You have to touch poop!"</i><br />
<b>Here's the deal. When you're a parent, poop is part of the job title. I don't care if you use disposables, cloth, or opt for elimination communication. If there's a baby in the house, you're gonna touch poop at some point, it doesn't matter how you diaper your baby. </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<i>"It requires so many more diaper changes."</i><br />
<b>It's true that cloth will need changed more frequently than disposables. But how is this a bad thing? It encourages your child to have a fresh start with a diaper so they aren't sitting in their own urine or excrement any longer than necessary. I fail to see how this could ever be a disadvantage! I also attribute this to my daughter never having a single diaper rash! </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzxDEdgHR8cmD3rBedMTQshPsmHBxCHpXHnlMlKK1aNhPpJYCksAjHTS8nbtu-w95t2UGvRegu_MbDpiyFlN8z-MGnOjnnw6fnA8sO7tWrT6JAHGLQC4u3yfq3hscgIks1Q9SIxSz6Fc/s1600/water-tap_2189544b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzxDEdgHR8cmD3rBedMTQshPsmHBxCHpXHnlMlKK1aNhPpJYCksAjHTS8nbtu-w95t2UGvRegu_MbDpiyFlN8z-MGnOjnnw6fnA8sO7tWrT6JAHGLQC4u3yfq3hscgIks1Q9SIxSz6Fc/s1600/water-tap_2189544b.jpg" height="199" width="320" /></a><i>"They use SO much water."</i><br />
<b>Well, yes, it will require water to wash them with every load. It's a given that any reusable item is going to use additional water as you continue to wash and reuse it over and over and over. What people don't stop to think about when they make this claim, however, is that there is a lot of water used in the production, packaging, and shipment of every single disposable diaper. This is the same type of logic I apply when I compare using cloth diapers to wearing clothes. None of us would find it sensible to say clothing use too much water to wash and then choose to buy a new outfit every day instead to cut down on water consumption. That's just not accurate and the same principle applies to cloth diapers. </b><br />
<br />
<i>"It costs way too much money to get started."</i><br />
<b>I will admit that the initial investment can absolutely be a little daunting. The thing is - it's a matter of when you're spending the money. You can slowly accumulate a stash at the start of a pregnancy, buying a couple of diapers per month, and it helps spread out the expense. Using disposable diapers can easily cost double (or even triple!) what a stash of cloth diapers will. </b><i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>"You have to do SO much more laundry."</i><b> </b><br />
<b>It's inevitable - if you use cloth diapers, you <u>will</u> do more laundry, that's a given. I found that it actually helps keep me up to speed with my additional laundry, however, because diaper laundry is non-negotiable. It *has* to be done NOW which forces you to finish the other loads you started prior! In that regard, it really does keep the flow of laundry traffic moving more consistently. </b><br />
<br />
<br />
So, there you have it - a handful of the most commonly heard "disadvantages" to cloth diapering and why they're really not so bad after all. Do you have any that you'd add to the list? <b><br /></b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365030311114382116.post-27489069417827396552014-07-18T09:10:00.001-07:002014-07-18T09:10:17.038-07:00Get the scoop! {{{Chaplin release details}}}If you're even vaguely "in the loop" when it comes to the cloth diaper industry, I'm sure you've seen this week's big hype : the new, limited edition print exclusive to bumGenius and Flip cloth diapers! They finally unveiled the newest to the lineup, Chaplin (after the late Charlie Chaplin). Charlie Chaplin is one of the most famous stars of early Hollywood and is most well-known for his roles in iconic silent films in early 19th-century. <br />

eLeMeNO-Pee was honored to be one of the select few retailers chosen to carry this print and we have been amazed at the response! We did a limited number of pre-orders the day after the print was released and sold out of every single style in less than an hour! WOW! This is one popular print! :)<br />
<br />
The good news is, despite the fact that this is a very limited edition and they're flying off the shelves everywhere, you still have another chance at snagging this new print thanks to the way we're planning to roll out our additional stocking! We are working diligently to figure out the most effective way of stocking the rest of this limited edition diaper so that everyone has a fair chance. <br />
<br />
Stay tuned to our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages for timely details about the next online release! (If you typically shop through an eLeMeNO-Pee Rep, be sure to get in
contact with her to get the full scoop so you don't miss out) <br />

They met in Athens, Georgia and lived in Augusta for a year and a half before moving to New Orleans for three years while her husband went to seminary and she taught elementary school.<br />
<br />
Their daughter, Bailey Drew, was born March 23, 2013. They now reside in Statesboro where she is a part-time preschool teacher and her husband is a campus minister. They are moving again very soon! They are frugal and strive to be faithful in all that God has given them. Stasia also has a blog, <a href="http://Our Life on a Budget" target="_blank">Our Life on a Budget</a>, so be sure to check in there to follow their journey! <br />
