It's a Star Wars life

Demitri chillin' in his Star Wars print fitted diaper just laying around in his crib with special Star Wars bedding mommy made. We're both amazed that daddy hasn't tried to claim both as his own.

People always ask Daniel and I "what if he doesn't like Star Wars?", well then he doesn't. It's not like we would disown him or anything over that. My parents are huge NASCAR fans but I hate it. It didn't stop them from enjoying it, it just meant that they didn't take me to the track with them when they went. I doubt that we will have the "problem" kids love to love what their parents love, especially what their daddy loves. And since daddy is a huge Star Wars nut Demitri will likely be into it as well, at least for a little while when he is growing up. If not who cares he will find his own thing to be into and just have to deal with it when Star Wars things do take place.

Gdiapers (review)

Per request here is a short little review post about one of our favorite cloth diaper brands-Gdiapers. Cute, trim, and easy!

Demitri's first cloth diaper, actually the first diaper ever to be on his bum, was a XS Gdiaper. They were the perfect choice for use because they have a snap down making them umbilical cord stump safe.

Now, a lot of people are turned off from cloth diapering because they think that it will be to difficult and time consuming. That you have to use big pre-folds, safety pins, and ugly rubber pants.

But Gdiapers make it EASY. So easy in fact that they convinced my husband that cloth diapering full time would be just as simple as if we were to use disposable diapers. They are now his favorite brand of diapers to use on Demitri and asks that I buy more so they can be what our diaper stash is made of.

Gdiapers are pretty darn simple.
They kind of remind me of disposable diaper as far as their fastening goes. There are Velcro tabs on both sides that you open up and pull to the back fastening the diaper closed. And yes, I said to the back, compared to a traditional diaper Gdiapers are put on backwards, but they are still super easy to do. At first Daniel did not like they way they closed so he did actually put them on backwards but after a few times of putting them on Demitri the way they are intended to go he was used to it.

Gdiapers come in 4 different sizes: XS, S, M, and L. Which means that as your baby grows you need to get the next size up vs a one-size which will grow with your baby. But Gdiapers are very resonibly priced each cloth cover is only $20 and you can reuse them multiple times. How? Well Gdiapers have snap in PUL (water proof) liners along with hemp cloth inserts. So when one of your cloth inserts becomes soiled you only have to snap out the liner, snap in a clean one, and put a new insert in. Easy-peasy

Gdiapers also have biodegradable disposable inserts. So if washing the cloth inserts isn't your thing or you want to use a form of disposable (without using an actual disposable diaper) while on vacation or away from home, then these are a good option!

So, that is about it for Gdiapers. I would definitely recommend adding them as part of your stash or even for the whole thing, like I said they are super easy aka daddy proof. If you want to try out Gdiapers you can order them online from gdiapers.com and on orders $100 or more use the code TRYIT for 10 off + FREE shipping on orders $75 or more.

Remember no matter what type of diaper you use nothing says I love you like a clean one.

Fluffy mail

We're are planning on cloth diapering bugs little bumm. Yesterday bugs new Blueberry diapers arrived. Babysteals had the diapers for half off the other day so I ordered 3 diapers (including shipping) for what I would normally have paid for 2. Not to shabby. I chose 1- Royal Blue 1-Sky Blue and 1- Mint Green. The colors aren't as vibrant in the picture as they are in person. I think that they will good colors from a boy or girl, and can't wait for the day in February when bug arrives and I get to I get to clothe his/her tushie in the fulffy cuteness!
